Who We Are

Mexican Flair
Meets Jersey Shore

Inky’s Cantina + Taqueria is the latest restaurant concept by Blue Dog Hospitality Group, bringing authentic Mexican flair to the Jersey Shore. At Inky’s, tacos are life — and all problems can be fixed with tequila.

We offer vibrant, fresh flavors from ingredients like corn, beans, avocados, fresh herbs, diverse chilies, and regional specialties like mole, tamales, carne asada, and hand-made tortillas — just like abuela used to make.

You’ll find refreshing fruit-infused aguas frescas alongside earthy mezcals, versatile tequilas, and spicy beer cocktails — all designed to complement the bold, complex flavors of Inky’s, from sweet and tangy to smoky and savory.
