Margos International Cuisine

Margos International Cuisine at 953 Fischer Blvd in Toms River offers a broad Latin American menu with a particularly strong Colombian influence, alongside Mexican and other international favorites. The selection ranges from empanadas, arepas, plantains, tacos, quesadillas, soups, salads, chicken, steak, pork, and seafood to hearty surf-and-turf entrées. House-made fresh juices, soft drinks, and hot drinks round out the menu.

The Bandeja Paisa is a clear signature and currently appears among the restaurant's most popular dishes, combining grilled steak, chicharrón, chorizo, rice, beans, egg, plantains, arepa, avocado, and salad. Prices generally provide approachable value: small appetizers begin around $4-$6, while substantial seafood and meat entrées commonly reach the low-to-mid $20s. Fresh avocado, vegetables, seafood, grilled meats, and bright accompaniments create plenty of contrast between rich, savory, sweet, and refreshing flavors. Vegetarian choices include vegetable tacos, salads, guacamole, plantains, and Lexy's Vegan Nachos; a dedicated children's menu is also available. Gluten-free diners should confirm preparation details directly with the restaurant. With lunch specials and generously composed entrées, the menu works especially well for lunch, dinner, family dining, and group meals rather than breakfast.
