Best of Asbury [NJ]

[NotViking (Retired !)]

Please note that the two of you don’t actually agree on the name of the dish, since one of you calls it Fundido and the other Flameado.

But it’s the same dish.

It’s the most popular Mexican restaurant in Asbury, you’ll see plenty of Mexicans and gringos alike. I don’t think their food is necessarily much better than the others in the area, but it’s solid. The biggest thing is that hey have the best restaurant experience. It feels like what people would expect out of a Mexican place more so than the hole in the wall-ish places we have mostly around here.

Thanks for your response.

So food is on a par with Long Branch?

[jcostiones]

I agree, almost everyplace in Houston calls it flameado but it’s the same as fundido.

@jcostiones

flameado

The 1933 model…

@NotViking

Flameado

Here is another 33 Texas original not to be confused with the Flameado:

Anybody recognize this one?

[NotViking (Retired !)]

@jcostiones

fundido

Here is a 33 fundido which is not to be confused with a 33 flameado (notice less flames)…

Well here’s Cooks Country with a microwave "fun"dido recipe that sure looks like Chile con Queso to me…

@jsfein

AP experts, can you recommend somewhere for a 20 person lunch party for a Sunday in June from around 1-3 pm. Not looking for a set menu if it can be avoided. Looking for somewhere else this time around. Not married to AP, but in the general vicinity. TIA!

Hey, did you ever figure out what to do about the lunch?

[jsfein]

After dropping in a few places mentioned upthread, the wife went in an entirely different direction and booked Anemos in Manalapan. Thx to all who helped me get started on a list for the next time around!

[ycf04 (YcF)]

How was Anemos? In my list to try but haven’t gone yet.

GENERAL NOTICE TO THREAD*

I broke off a review of the Sitting Duck Restaurant to a separate thread. In doing so I was a bit over zealous with the posts that I migrated to the new thread, so I then returned them here, as they were a sub text of this thread. If you find your comments are now out of order, or if I have messed up the “flow” of the conversation please note it was not done in malice, I"m just not very good or talented when it comes to moderation skills. My apologies to anyone(s) whose comment might have been shuffled by mistake.

Thank you,
Notjr

Bruce Springsteen is coming to Asbury Lanes (yes, really) this month. How to...

[Roro1831 (Roland)]

He actually comes by pretty often, curious as to how long he will play.

We’ve entered the lottery for residents so hopefully we get tickets.

I stopped in the Lanes last night, sterile space, loved the old Lanes especially the bar area which they converted into a diner
