50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Cranford

“Food wasn’t the best I ever had but good and willing to try again. Wasn’t a fan of the pastor and birra tacos which was surprisingly because they were rated the highest. You do get 4 each in an order and was priced well. Elotes were a miss for me also. Guac was good on the chicken tacos.“

“The tacos are just okay. They only use one tortilla so when you bite into it it falls apart quickly. The only confusing part was when I asked the cashier what the difference between the steak and the carne asada was, he said they were the same thing but there is a price difference between the two so there is obviously a difference… I don’t mind paying extra but I just want to know what I’m paying for even if it’s different spices/marinade or cooking method? The churros were delicious and crispy. It came with Dulce de leche or chocolate sauce!“

“Our go to Warren restaurant. Great Mojitos. Our server last nite was Carmen who was just promoted to server and she did an extraordinary job!“

“I just left El Paso Tex-Mex grill and had by far the most delicious and fresh chicken burrito I’ve ever tasted! It even came with a side of chips and salsa. The staff were courteous and the restaurant and bathroom were super clean! There’s even a free secure parking lot right out front. This restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and can accommodate a comfortable group as well. I plan to spread the word… Thanks Paco!!“

“I haven’t been here in years because the first and last time I went, the food was disgusting. I mean, we had like 4 dinners and they were all bland and just not seasoned right. (This was around 2021)

We recently tried again because everytime we drive past, my daughter loves the lights outside and the games. What a difference!
We had nachos with chicken, shrimp fajitas and a kids burger. Everything was so good!
Probably the best nachos I’ve ordered in a restaurant- and nachos are my thing!! lol
Britzy (sorry if spelled wrong) was our server and she was so nice ! Everything came out perfect and she checked on us a bunch of times. Everything came at a decent time and it was just a pleasant dining experience.
We will definitely be back!

We’re on vacation and stumbled upon Tortas Lokas Elizabeth¡what a gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and Karen went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Great food, amazing service, and a cozy vibe.
I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for an authentic and welcoming experience!
Thank you guys!👍🏻“

“This place truly feels like a hidden gem. While the interior may not be the best, the food and hospitality here are exceptional. The staff’s kindness brings a warm, uplifting atmosphere from the moment you step in until you leave. The food is delightful, but it’s the welcoming service that makes the experience memorable. I genuinely want to commend them for it“

“I have dined there a few times. Twice with my daughter. Their food is delicious. Great tasting burgers and Beef Nachos. The Staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing. I learned how to say mushrooms in Spanish. Thank you.“

“My friends and I had a fantastic time here and will definitely be coming back soon! Be sure to check out their specials!“

“It’s funny that some of the reviews here complain about servers not speaking English...it’s an actual authentic Mexican restaurant what do you expect? The menus are in both English and Spanish and have descriptions if you are not familiar with Mexican food. I love this place and you really can’t beat the prices. The food is great and I always wind up taking some home (maybe because I fill up on all the chips and salsa they give before the meal).“

“Just finishing up our meal at this location and we have to say that the service and food were amazing. The server Joe and bartender Chris made it all worth it. They were attentive and accommodating. We sat at two separate tables with our teenage kids and everything was top notch. We own a business nearby and can’t wait to visit again!“

“I grew up in Texas and enjoyed this authentic beef taco bowl for a casual and affordable dinner in Newark. The owner and staff clearly put their hearts into each ingredient in the bowl which comes together as a Tex-Mex festival of flavors.

Kid-friendliness: Saw a mother and daughter there. Lots of teenagers were eating there as well.“

The service, as always, was exceptional, with prompt delivery and courteous staff. As a bonus, we received free chips and salsa with our last catering order, which was a delightful surprise. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine and excellent service.“

“Good place to go great food“

“This place is a slightly hidden gem, and the past 5 times I’ve gone, has never failed. The staff is all family and treat you equally the same. My lady and I got: chicken tacos(first photo) guacamole, hibiscus drinks(jamaica for mi gente) rib tacos with cheese( the ones with the phone shaped beef rib) hunger was calling and I had to pick up. Highly recommend this place, they even have a bidet for you stinkies!

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp you can use, just need to lift up the small lip on the door. They’ll accommodate space for you even though theres not much!“

“Great food and service. Varied menu. Large amount of seating inside and a good amount outside. The food is reasonably priced for downtown south orange. Family friendly.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and food kids typically will eat“

“Dinner was delicious! The food came quickly and the kids were thrilled with their quesadillas. Guacamole was good. Chicken enchiladas verdes was great. Service was pleasant and attentive. If we lived in New Jersey we’d go back for sure!“

“Phenomenal Tacos! I bet everything else is equally delicious but I love these tacos!!“

“Went here for dinner tonight the first time. Food was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our host/server and she was fantastic at recommendations. Food was delicious. Will definitely make this my new Spanish go to restaurant. The Salvadorian Chicken Tamale was moist and dense, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. If you order the beef empanadas, ask them for their new homemade hot sauce. It's a perfect blend of sweet & heat to go with the pastry dough. Their plantains were a good addition of sweet to the dense of the meal. Their flan was the perfect size for a nice ending dessert to a very filling meal. Definitely a highly recommended place to get an excellent and very affordable meal.“

“surprised to see the low ratings, the food is pretty good and ambiance is vibrant yet nice & low key. I’m afraid the people complaining about operating fees and mandatory tip don’t read the news about how difficult it has become to operate a restaurant business during these times - it’s either drive up the cost of the menu or add in a fee (either way you’re going to get an up charge because this is the state of the economy)“

“Hands down one of the greatest places to eat full of flavor and the food is so fresh 100% would really“

“I like to go to this mexican / tex mex restaurant. The food is always fresh and they quick on serving your food. Also the flavor of the dishes are really yummy. And the breakfast is a kick to start your day. Specially the torta de milanesa which is my favorite“

“I love their food, everything is always fresh never old and taste so delicious!! I highly recommend this place ! I give them 20 ☆'s !!!“

“amazing place great food will go back“

“It was my first time ordering food from here. I ordered take out, the service was decent. It Felt like i was being dismissed pretty quick. The food was good, it had great taste. And the atmosphere of the place was nice too.
However, I do think the prices are a bit high. I wasn’t expecting to pay $37 for my order.“

“The place is well decorated and well lit for both the bar and restaurant environment. The food tastes good and the portions are quite big, so it's a bang for the buck, really affordable. The service was nice, all the waitresses were friendly. Some of the dishes are spicy, so if you don't like spicy food you can ask them to give you that food without spicy ingredients.“

“Excelente lugar familiar. Disfrútalo“
