21 Best Mexican Restaurants near Clayton

“I've been coming here since they originally opened, the food was always great but the service was always slow so I'd only come here or order if I was okay with a wait. 4 out of 5 times I always order the breakfast nachos, the exact same way...sub chorizo for chicken, sour cream on the side and jalapeños. I went there earlier this week, ordered what I always do, but when I get the check I have two add-ons that were not previously mentioned to me. had they been, I would have said that's ridiculous and nevermind. an extra $1.50 for a side of sour cream, an extra $2.00 for jarred jalapeños on top of my breakfast nachos. I understand that small businesses are struggling and they're probably trying to do what they can to keep their doors open but you have to be transparent with customers if suddenly you're going to tack an extra $3.50 onto someone's order without letting them know upfront. There's a new Mexican place in Williamstown that just opened that's been getting raving reviews, so that will likely turn into my new go-to. I don't appreciate being sneakily nickel and dimed and don't think I'll be back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Carlos Compadres is an absolute gem. We tried the Tacos Árabes, Semita, and Chapulines, and every single dish was phenomenal. The flavors were bold, authentic, and true to Puebla-style cuisine. It honestly felt like being transported straight to Puebla City with every bite.

The Tacos Árabes were perfectly seasoned and wrapped in soft pita-style bread, the Cemita was loaded with fresh ingredients and packed with flavor, and the Chapulines were a fun, crunchy, and truly authentic touch you rarely find outside of Mexico.

If you’re looking for real Puebla food in New Jersey, this is the spot. Not only is the food top-notch, but the authenticity and attention to detail make it stand out from the typical taco places around. Highly recommended!

And I really want to add this the food is finally spicy. I’ll getting tired of places holding back the real Mexican spicy of food.“

“Great food Friendly staff 😊“

“Good food , good service, full menu“

“I hesitate to write a review because we really do like this restaurant. I just came in for a takeout order which totaled $24.53. I’m waiting for my change so I can drop it in the tip bucket along with a couple extra dollars. The cashier closed the drawer without giving me the change. When I asked for my change she said oh we don’t do that. I said I’m sorry you don’t give people their change? She said if it is under 50 cents they don’t give change. I was a bit taken aback. I proceeded to leave without putting money in the tip jar. I do regret that because this is not her fault and I do apologize for my reaction as I said this “policy” is not her fault. I know in the grand scheme of things we are talking about pocket change but this is a ridiculous policy and needs to be reconsidered by the corporate office. Again, I am not leaving a negative review, just sharing my experience.“

“Me gusta la atención es muy buena te atienden muy rápido me encantan los tacos que hacen , mi única observación que usan muchas sal demasiada sal en las carnes asadas de Res y de pollo“

“Food is Ok but the restaurant needs a good cleaning would be very nice if it was cleaned properly“

“Love the fish tacos. Great taco station catering.“

“Good stuff! Quick and friendly staff. The line may seem slow (not the employees fault) If you know what you want you breeze right through. Nice crisp peppers too.“

“Delicious food and great customer service.“

“My taco bowl was amazing and a large portion size!“

“What an amazing experience for late at night. There was an employee by the name of Anthony (AJ) who assisted me with a high chair without hesitation not only did he give directions but he actually came around from what he was doing to grab one for me. He kindly asked if he could sweep the other side and noted that we were able to stay as long as we needed no rush. The small question has such a big impact on someone when dining in with little ones. AJ not only was kind and considerate but made conversation with the family. This employee went above and beyond his job duties and role. I would truly return just to say hi and grab a bite to eat.

Kid-friendliness: Nice atmosphere great friendly staff“
