About Apples Mexican Italian Restaurant and Bar

Apples Mexican Italian Restaurant and Bar in Carteret runs an unusual but deliberate menu split between two cuisines that rarely share a kitchen: Mexican dishes on one side, Italian classics on the other, plus a full bar to tie the room together. That kind of dual-cuisine menu is built for exactly the situation most families run into constantly, a group where half the table wants tacos and the other half wants pasta, and nobody wants to have that argument on a Tuesday night. Running two distinct cuisine programs well takes more kitchen discipline than a single-cuisine restaurant, since the prep, sauces, and technique for a good enchilada and a good chicken parm share almost nothing in common. For Carteret and the surrounding Middlesex County area, having a neighborhood spot that covers both bases under one roof, with a bar attached for after-work drinks or a weekend night out, fills a specific and practical niche in the local dining scene.
