Upon our recent visit to Cape May, we wanted to step outside the box of our “usual restaurants”, so the choice we made was Gecko’s. What peaked our interest was a 2009 Menu handout that we picked up while strolling Carpenter’s Square Mall, in addition to the restaurant’s cute and eclectic exterior. We became even more convinced when we read... more

We had lunch at Gecko's and food was excellent. They don't give free nachos and salsa, but it's worth ordering one. Good food for the value. more

we went with 2 small children, so having to wait 20 mins beforing even getting our salads and then another 15 or so for the food, was a bit hard for us. Nice small place though and the food was good overall. more

My wife, mother-in-law and I recently visited Gecko's and the food was magnificent. We each ended up trying the other's dishes, because it was all so good that we wanted to share the wealth. I had the three sisters quesadilla and it was so stinking good! I don't particuliarly like squash (which was part of the filling), but I loved... more

We were very disappointed in the quality of the food. Everything--even the salad--was too sweet! And the tortillas weren't very good, which is a definite problem when tacos are involved. I wouldn't recommend it, and I certainly won't be going back. more

This is one of our favorites for lunch. I was too lazy to write a review earlier but it's fallen a few spots down on tripadvisor so I thought I'd post. The other reviews do a better job describing the place so I'll just say that it's a must. Great iced tea as well. more

I had dinner at Geckos a few nights ago. There were different choices on the menu, something for everyone. The atmosphere at night was fun with the light on the outside. The food and service were outstanding. Nice to try some southwetern cuisine. more

We just returned from 10 days in Cape May. We'd heard raves about Geckos, that it was a "must" during our stay. After our meal there, I must say that I don't understand the fuss. We arrived at about 7pm on a Wednesday night in mid July, requesting a table for 2 outside. Setting: Near the Washington Street Mall pedestrian... more

I have been to Gecko's many times while visiting Cape May and I always have a good meal. The food is fresh and unbeatable. One of my favorites is the pork with sweet potatoes and a blueberry glaze. I do have to comment however that the service is always below average. The last waitress that I had did not go... more

I've been here on 5 star days, which is why I've returned, but I've been here on 1 star days. I've heard of others getting literally inedible food. Probably has to do with the chef on duty each day. Spin the wheel, take your chances... because when it's good it's unbeatable (for NJ) southwestern food. more
