One of our favorite restaurants in the neighborhood for take-out or dine-in, and it's only a block away! Delicious traditional Mexican food and American breakfast also on the menu. CALDO 7 MARES SOUP is my personal favorite if you are a spicy-food lover or up for trying. Our little guy loves the soft-shell tacos and fried chicken wings are the family pleaser.

Casino Pier amusement park has wild roller coasters and the most bumpy bumper cars (brace yourself) we’ve tried; The rooftop golf is also fun to try.

Sightseeing
Full of attractions such as an amusement park, arcades, game booths, shops and restaurants… The lift that takes you above the boardwalk and beach for the view is a nice break. There are also local vendors set up tents on the boardwalk during summer where you can find some cool hand-made stuff. I suggest you just take the time and check them all out. It’s fun in itself. We always have a hard time getting our kid off the boardwalk.
