50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Allendale

“We had a wonderful anniversary celebration with friends at Uno Mas Saturday night. Delicious food, great service, and super friendly vibe!“

“Best tacos ever . I’ve been a client since the Sombrero truck on Market St in between Checkers and post office . Then they moved to union blvd . I’ve taken my immediate family ,taken friends , when my outer states visitors come is the first place they get taken to also!! Really everything is made fresh and there’s not one dish I can pick over another !! Can’t wait to get back from Puerto Rico to get some real tacos !!! Pa alante !!!“

“Service: Gustavo man, Gustavo. This Brother gave us top tier service, Masha Allah. He was extremely patient as I was really undecided on what to order since it was authentic Mexican and he really kept our interests in mind. I kept calling him over and over again but he kept smiling and you can tell he was genuinely understanding. He greeted us with Salaam and was so courteous through our whole time there. He also checked in on us to make sure things were going good. Great customer service is something that I never overlook and this customer service I received was one of the best.

Food: And the food was so good. It came out one by one so we had stuff to eat from the moment we sat down with the tortilla chips. Had all of our food within 10 min or so which was great. We had Birria tacos, steak bowl, the special quesadilla (forgot the name as it's in Spanish but it had maiz in the name), and tortilla chips. Everything was delicious and legitimately tasted like an authentic foreign cuisine. It is not your average Mexican bowl place. Heavy props to the chef for the amazing flavors and textures of the food!

Halal: I mostly eat at HFSAA or HMS Halal certified locations. So considering they were also certified is always my first step to going to any restaurant. I wouldn't have even come if they weren't certified.

Remarks: All in all, food and service was great and I definitely recommend others to give it a try!“

“Recently had my daughters graduation party at Agave. Isaac, the owner was extremely helpful and the staff worked very hard to make sure my party ran smoothly. The food and cocktails were fantastic. We had a party of 50+ with a DJ and had plenty of room dinner and dancing. The party was very affordable! Would definitely recommend!!“

“Ordered via uber eats tonight . I've wanted to try for awhile (since I did a delivery for Feed the Frontlines) and I wasn't disappointed! We shared several items and they were all yummy! I will definitely order again.“

“Friendly staff, dining area is very cozy and homey. Probably the most authentic Mexican food in the area (super flavorful). The tacos al pastor [with everything] are probably the best taco ive ever had. I havent found a better taco yet. Pricing is very fair for the serving they give you. Overall 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Amazing food !!! Highly recommended… Fast delivery service“

“Everything on the menu is excellent I have never had a bad meal. Margaritas are a must“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. We had the tacos, regular bowl with carnitas and fajita bowl with steak and pina-mango drink. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Will come back to try El Pastor. Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“An Exceptional Culinary Experience in New Jersey

This establishment stands out as the premier destination for authentic Mexican cuisine in New Jersey. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a warm and vibrant atmosphere that reflects the heart of Mexican hospitality. The food is consistently outstanding—rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and true to tradition.

What truly elevates the experience, however, is the impeccable service. From the owners to every member of the staff, the team demonstrates genuine care, professionalism, and a passion for creating memorable dining moments. A shining example of excellence in both cuisine and customer service.“

“Food here is amazing and reasonably priced. The margaritas are equally good and it has a relaxing atmosphere, scenic outdoor dining and always friendly service. Don't always get up to Piermont, but when I do it's delicious Mexican food and a yummy drink at this awesome spot!“

Their friendly nature adds a personal touch to the dining experience, making it not just a meal, but a moment to remember.“

“2nd time here, not disappointed!“

“the best mexican food. exelent service!!!!“

“Went here with my bf last Sunday evening and the food was great. The carne asada nachos were really good and they allow free refills for their fountain drinks! Very cozy set up with a street food vibe and friendly staff. Will definitely be back!“

“Johnsson was amazing! His service was fast, friendly, and he made sure everything came out exactly how I wanted it. He went above and beyond to make the experience great. Definitely one of the best employees at Bubbakoos super professional and always welcoming. Highly recommend him!”“

“Went there for the first time today and it was amazing! Great service and food was delicious! They had large selection of margaritas and desserts. The decor and music was fantastic. Will definitely be back again!“

“Best spot for Mexican food!“

“Absolutely the best Tacos, Tortas, Nachos, Papas Locas, And everything they cook and prepare is great!!! This is my go to spot in Rockland County for Tacos!! Hands down the best, their Sauce is 🔥🔥🔥. This is a taqueria, not a restaurant, a taqueria!!! Straight street food! Mexican!

Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos!!!“

“Shout out to Bubbakoos in New Paltz NY. I forget to hit submit on my online order so when I went in to pick up there was no order for me. When I saw my mistake they made my order right away. That was so awesome of them. I really appreciated the awesome customer service- especially when the error was all mine.“

“As a Hispanic person in a predominantly white town like Westwood, the rate on this store does not match their true authenticity. This is what a true Mexican restaurant is like and the ambience matches that as well. The food is incredible and despite its look I promise you this is as close as you can get to a perfect taco. I recommend a classic bistec taco and a tall glass bottle of coke. This is extremely refreshing to feel and see my culture up close and feel close to home even here in Jersey. Again I’ve been eating tacos my ENTIRE life and can confirm this place deserves 5 stars. You don’t need an extremely fancy set up or overpriced anything to make the food taste better. This is overall the one of the best Mexican restaurants in the county.“

“great food great service can't wait to go back“

“lo mejor de lo mejor ❤️♥️“

“Fun. They shared my birthday Danced. Good food“

“Great food, friendly staff. I had the super nachos, they were.“

“Margaritas are the best. Beef burritos are great. Chips and salsa top notch“

“I stopped by Taqueria the other week for their grand opening, and I think I've found a new favorite taco spot. The place is vibrantly decorated, super clean, and the music was on point.
Anthony, the manager, walked me through some of the menu options even though there were digital kiosks available—that’s rare these days, so it was nice. The steak was cooked so perfectly in my tacos and burrito box, I was back for more within the week!
Anthony mentioned I should try the chicken next time, so that's definitely my next order. Will recommend to friends!“

“The food was delicious. I had the gorditas with cecina. And it felt very authentic. Like a piece of Mexico in NY. The cheese they use for the quesadilla and tortas is quesillo or Oaxaca. And it makes a huge difference in how delicious the food is.“

“My family and I were looking to spice it up for dinner, and you did not disappoint! We will DEFINITELY be back! 2 thumbs up from everyone of us! Tasty, authentic and filling! Thank you for such a well prepared fiesta!“

“Just moved to River Vale from Astoria Queens and tried this on my way home from the Gym (Retro in PR). First off I came in 15 mins before they closed and they were about to close the kitchen and reopend it to make my tacos so kindness already wins! However, the most important part …The Food. If you are expecting Michelin Star tacos then you should go to a Michelin Star restaurant. For anyone that says the food is not good is just bsing. This is a solid taco spot and good to eat on the go or for a quick lunch or dinner. I have had plenty of good tacos being from queens having some of the best taco spots in the world in my boro. This place would definitely compete has a solid neighborhood spot in Queens. Definitely worth going and eating. Plus the five tacos for 15 bucks is a pretty good deal in an inflationary world. Don't listen to the haters that say this food isn't good.“

“es muy buenacalidad servisio rrapido“

“Great food, excellent customer service. Cant complain when you get guac and queso for free :)“

“Very nice restaurant! Friendly staff ! Excellent and fast service ! Tasty food ! Will definitely visit again ♥️♥️“

“good quality is very poor. rice was hard and chewy, meats were dry and overcooked...and it was 12pm. expected fresher and better quality. the veg options did appear and taste fresh. overall, ok once...but would not be a go to again for us Owings Mills, MD location“

“Genuinely the best moes i’ve been too. the place smelled super nice. all the food was being made fresh. none of the ingredients were stale or sitting too long. staff was super nice. I always get a stack at moes and this did not disappoint. the portions were great and it tasted amazing. great job!“

“Tried Carlitos for the first time and my expectations were blown away. The food was amazing and extremely affordable! My bf and I got a little bit of everything to try. We ordered the 3 quesotacos special with chicken, fish, and brisket. All 3 were filled with so much flavor. Additionally we tried their chocolate churros and passionfruit aqua fresca which were also delicious. The service was cooked to order and very fast. We ordered and received our food in less than 5 minutes. Will definitely be coming back every time I’m at Garden State Plaza!“

“Shout out to Bubbakoos in New Paltz NY. I forget to hit submit on my online order so when I went in to pick up there was no order for me. When I saw my mistake they made my order right away. That was so awesome of them. I really appreciated the awesome customer service- especially when the error was all mine.“

“This place NEVER disappoints. Food is always spot on, fast and delicious. It’s our company’s go to spot for work lunches and while I live 5 minutes from the Mahwah location, I purposefully drive 20 minutes to come here because the food is so much better!

Sadly I’ve never taken one photo of my food which is so rare for me. Promise to get one next time!“

“Whenever I go like my friends the excellent service the super fresh food the store manager is always attentive to all customers another very important thing very clean I always see the manager cleaning things that you don't see in the other stores Very good job“

“I had a great experience at Bubbakoo’s today! Aish took care of my order, and she was absolutely sweet and kind. You don’t always come across people who serve you with a genuine smile and positive energy — but she truly made my day. Thank you, Aish, for the amazing service!“

“Fresh delicious food. I’ll be back to try the desserts.“
