36 Best Mexican Restaurants near Dover

“Muchos años de ser clientes y siempre con una buena atención!!!“

“If you want real tacos come here. I ordered the tacos al pastor and when they were ready I went to add spice, cilantro, and onion to my liking. The spice is strong haha. I love the food, my brother ordered tacos birrias. I highly recommend you go to this restaurant the next time you crave tacos/Mexican food!“

“Great food and nice portions at a very fair price. Waitress service was top notch 👌.“

“I walked in out of the blue. The place is quiet and unassuming. I was greeted as I approached the counter. They were very, very welcoming. After a little bit it was like we knew each other well. They made me feel very comfortable. The food was very good with lots of flavor. My order came out relatively quick. We talked and I watched the game (MTY vs AME). I had a great experience and was very impressed with this place. I highly recommend anyone give it a try. Also, prices are very good and worth every penny!“

“I really like this restaurant. I like to sit at the tables and seats next to the windows where I can see everything that happens in the corner...the waitresses are very friendly and the service is fast. The coffee is always fresh. I really enjoy the simplicity of the place, without culinary pretensions, Mexican food for Mexicans, simple and delicious in my opinion, without DRAMA (by the way, I'm Colombian). The prices are definitely very reasonable.
One star reviews are a joke! What are you expecting to find all these 'Drama queens' and 'Karens' in a small traditional Mexican restaurant in Dover NJ? The people are definitely toast!“

“Es bueno y agradable el lugar buena atención“

“Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine! If you are looking for a taste of Mexico then look no further, Brenda Lee is it. I have found the food quality and taste to be consistently high and the service is great. It is my go to place for Mexican food.“

“Delicious stuffed arepitas! I’ve been looking for a place like this =]“

“Food is delicious, my favorite are the Tacos Al Pastor they really taste like authentic Mexican tacos! All staff is super friendly!“

“me & my boyfriend came in tonight, 9/16/25. we met my boyfriends dad for his birthday & the bartender was amazing! he definitely went above & beyond for us. they did the airplane shot for his birthday & gave him the beautiful hate to wear. the bartender joked with us while we were there & kept checking in on us throughout our dinner. I wish I got his name! he was absolutely amazing! Every time we come we have an amazing time but he definitely made it better! thank you for an amazing night!“

“Very happy to see this place continue to flourish after changing locations, and to see the same faces, too. The kids that work the register/answer the phone are always very friendly and polite, which is hard to come by these days.

As far as the food goes, I could blindfold myself and point to something random on the menu and still be blown away. Besides the typical crowd pleasers, do not sleep on the tortas, tostadas, or serrano salsa.

Seems to still be a local spot that has not been gentrified by 27 year olds that moved out of Hoboken and the city. I would go to war for Macho Nacho!“

“La comida y la atención están muy bien al igual que la decoración. La tienda es espectacular. Lo que no nos gustó fue la música. Se supone que es un restaurante típico mexicano, entonces debería tener musica mexicana.“

“yep good food ill come back for sure“

“Incredible place, Rice is delicious and ceviche must be the best I had and is right here in town!!!courteous staff as well.“

“Great tequila selection 👍 Sebastian, the bartender was fantastic.“

“Tried to go to Sofias Taco and Taqueria which opened today .they were too busy so we decided to try this place instead.Best decision! The food was so good and the staff was so friendly! I don’t even want to try Any other places now! Definitely be back and wish I have gone sooner“

“Best Mexican food. Food is always fresh an hot I have been going to Don Jose for many years At first I was going to the Don Jose in East Hanover before they opened Netting location. Netcong has a bar best Margartia's never had a complaint. Staff very friendly! It's my favorite Mexican Restaurant.“

“Just tried this place out to see if the high rating was real or not. The real reason is we hoped the positive reviews were true. We got tacos with rice and beans. Simple dish, but it's smell and taste were through the roof perfection. Three warm savory corn tortillas for each and each delectable. It reminded me of the best Mexican street food, only better, I had a seat! The staff is basically all family and THAT alone says something about the care behind every dish.“

“I had an amazing experience here! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I recently had my daughter’s Bridal shower here and the food, drinks, service and atmosphere were excellent! I would definitely recommend Nom if you are looking to host a private event.“

“Totally enjoyed the fish tacos and nachos, especially knowing they have a dedicated fryer for gluten free people like me.“

“Honestly one of the best carnita burritos I’ve had and definitely the BEST molè ever! Nachos were great. We did DoorDash and the food was as if we were eating at the restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't say enough good things about Riviera Maya Mexican in Rockaway! This place has quickly become a favorite stop for me and my fellow soldiers during our drill weekends. The food is consistently fresh and absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options that never disappoint.

The service is always fast and friendly, making us feel right at home every time we visit. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure we have a great experience, which is truly appreciated, especially when we come in with a group of about a dozen.

If you're looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Riviera Maya Mexican. Highly recommend!“

“WOW! IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 10 STARS I WOULD! this plaza has amazing food and I noticed this new storefront. when I walked in, I was surprised by how nice it looked on the inside. And then I saw the menu. This place is like Chipotle on turbo. I got the steak and shrimp, only $12 and the girl behind the counter had great suggestions on how to best top it. I left extremely satisfied with the food, but also the pleasant service and hip atmosphere. I will definitely be back soon. thank you!!!“

“It's a Great looking restaurant that provides indoor and outdoor seating. We have been doing our rounds in Morristown all summer, and this place made the list. The food was really fresh and tasty. Wish they had iced tea, but the bottled water was sufficient. The bbq nachos were very good and different than what you get from most places. My one suggestion is having a physical menu for your location. It's hard to have a no phone rule when you have to use it for the menu. Also, the landing page provides too many options. Too much work. I am old school and like a physical menu. Won't hold back that 5 star based on my menu preference, but hopefully, they will consider. I will go back again to try some more of their menu.“

“We meet a cashier named Cora tonight I’m not sure how to spell her name but honestly She was the sweetest prettiest nicest thing you could ever meet. She recommended good dishes let us try a free sample and her customer service skills were all around top-notch Cora needs a raise.“

“Lugar encantador con buen servicio y deliciosa cómoda mexicana .“

“The pozole roja was the best I've had in a while. The past 3 restaurants were nowhere near as good as 5 brothers pozole. The pork tacos, the same. Pork was crispy and well made. Everything impressed me. My new go to for Mexican food in the area.“

“Beautiful decor. Food was delicious and presentation was lovely. Great service as well. I will definitely be back!“

“Did you know that this Latin food place is around Morristown? So delicious!! I'm glad I found the place. I was craving for rice and beans so I did a Google maps search. I didn't order any beans but this curry shrimp rice was amazing. The server asked me if liked spicy food and I said I loved it. She gave me a chilli sauce and I said it's not that spicy. Then she handed me a secret sauce she said was not for everyone. It was pretty good because I love spicy food. They have so many options is ridiculous. I will definitely go back to try other things. The rice came with a salad and a thousand Island sauce topped with avocado. I couldn't finish the dish because it was so filling. Definitely a local GEM. It's not fancy but that's what I like. I got the rice and a Pina colada drink with no alcohol. The drink was ok and price was expensive for a lunch. With tips I gave $30 which is kinda pricey for a lunch. I could've had a pizza and a soda for less than $10. But if you have the money to spend, I think this is a very good place try. The price was decent considering the quality I got. I definitely recommend it.“

“Delicious food and so nice and friendly! The best quesadilla’s I have ever had!!“

“The ladies there were so sweet & kind ... I will bring all of my friends and family there so nice!�“

“The service is amazing & the food is always delicious. I highly recommend everyone should visit this Qdoba! It is better than most in the area! OMG with the reopening they just became my #1 pick for my favorite food. I'll always take that 45 minutes drive to the Qdoba in Denville rte 10.“

“Good food friendly staff good location fresh food hot food“

“The greatest place to have a delicious diner. My family and I experienced a very proffecional and lovely behavior for the Colombian waitresses, and very special environment that made us feel at home. The menu was small no to much to chose but perfectly exquisite having pretty much of the Colombian cuisine“

“This place is pretty good fellow foodies. It’s fairly price as well; not too pricey!!
•Nothing is really over 20 except the full Red snapper dinner @25.

•Normally I’d start the paragraph with the “bad” then go to the good!!,
But can’t really because of one time they rushed cooked it on the whole fish dinner and it wasn’t as seasoned and tasty as the other two(2) times!!

•It is home cooked meal style and not fast food profile!~~in terms of style and taste!
You will not be disappointed.
I saw a previous commenter above that said small portions were their curse;
Didn’t think so!!
I mean we could always sue more of a good thing right?

Vegetarian options: Didn’t make a list. I eat meat.

Parking: You’ll always find a space

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance from street! Totally great“
