13 Best Mexican Restaurants in Newark

“owner is so friendly and food is delicious! blackened fish tacos are the best!!!!“

“Very friendly always buy my tamales there“

“We sat outside and enjoyed the carne asada and al pastor tacos. Our order came with chips and salsa verde. Everything was so good! You get so much meat so it’s worth the price. The Al pastor is so delicious and there’s a lot of cut pineapple so you get some in every bite. Will definitely go back!“

“The food is so fresh and tasty! They make everything to order so it takes a little longer but it is worth it.“

“I had the chili Verde plate. it was delicious. Will definitely be going back.“

“If you want fast food, as well as authentic Mexican, this is the place!

The food preparation time was excellent, the lobby was clean with an upbeat atmosphere (and good music), and the food was delicious. And while that is enough to make a uniquely enjoyable experience, that isn't what stood out.

I'm traveling from out of state and my card was malfunctioning. Elizabeth were completely understanding that I left my password book at the hotel, which I needed to get into the app. They started making my food and were kind and positive about me leaving for 15 minutes to go back to my room. I had to call customer service and when I got back to the register I was still on the phone. Ruby had my exact order on the register before I even thought to specify, was incredibly polite, while I tried my card two more times while and patient with me while I was on the phone with rudely split attention. I got it working (I apparently had to tap it instead of inserting it) and we laughed about the silliness of it all.

I sat down and my food was out almost immediately. I forgot to specify green sauce on my enchiladas and Elizabeth offered to make them again. I was floundering because it was my fault and I felt bad, but she laughed and insisted it was fine.

I ate the Tijuana taco with asada and added the green sauce, which was delicious. The new enchiladas were out in like two minutes and I loved them.

I grew up in the area (and traveled to Mexico several times), so I am particular about my Mexican cuisine. It was great. I recommend the horchara. The only thing that wasn't immaculate was the tortilla chips, which were a little hard, but they let me try every salsa so they ended up being really good anyways!

Either way, 10/10 recommend!“

“This and Super Taq are my only two Mexican food stops. The food isn’t salty like most places and they have lengua!
You can buy side food in the market too like avocados, etc
Parking is plentiful and if the inside is full, there are places to sit outside. There are two gender neutral bathrooms. Six types of agua fresca.“

“Me encantó si lo recomiendo 👍🏻“

“I usually eat at big chain restaurants, but finding Pupuseria y Taqueria Rosita during the 2026 World Cup was such a refreshing change. I stopped in to watch the Brazil vs. Morocco game and was so glad I did. Coming to a family-owned place like this was a completely different, better experience compared to the stressful and superficial vibe of major chains.

The vegetarian super burrito was meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious. Having lived abroad for a long time, being able to enjoy authentic food like this in our area feels like a real privilege. The atmosphere was incredibly family-friendly, and the service was just as great as the food. I truly hope this wonderful local business continues to thrive—they deserve it!
Thank you!“

“climate is always comfortable. prices very good, great food and the Pico de Gallo you can have to eat, ' Leo' ready to take your order.“

“I don’t know why this place has very less reviews it’s one of the best and affordable option food a meal. I’m not writing it from affordability purpose their food is actually really nice staff is awesome and friendly very nice atmosphere it will more great if they take call orders too.“

“I really like this spot and will definitely be coming back. The pizza is solid and hits the spot every time. I also tried the wings they had a bit of a funky smell to them, but I still ate them and they were okay. Definitely an affordable price.“

“I have 3 kids and I ordered a tacos party pack for them. They said it was good. I had my cousin in the car and he ordered nacho fries and a large drink, the drink size was really small even though he ordered a large. It seemed like a small. And he ordered a large nacho fries and that was also small. Everything else was good but they just need to make their sizes bigger.“
