36 Best Mexican Restaurants near Dover

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Muy buena la comida auténtico sabor mexicano y los tacos de birria son los mejores“

“Es bueno y agradable el lugar buena atención“

“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!“

“Best service I’ve experienced at this restaurant! The quality of the food was amazing, everything was fresh and full of flavor. The music created such a great vibe, and the overall atmosphere was perfect. A special thank you to Cesar for the excellent service — he was attentive, friendly, and made our experience even better. I will definitely be coming back!“

“From the food to the service and the atmosphere, everything about this place was beyond incredible. I ordered the mixed fajitas, which came with two sides rice and beans, and everything was absolutely delicious. The servers were very attentive and patient, taking the time to explain the entire menu to us since it was our first time visiting. I 100% recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back for more!“

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

“Ive been going here for years for mainly for the burritos. Originally it was for the breakfast burritos and now it's for their firebird lunch burrito. They are always tasty,huge and reasonably priced. Under $10 for a gigantic burrito? What is this 2010?“

“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.“

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

“Food was amazing!! Mango and Passion Fruit homemade drinks are amazing.. Street Tacos were perfect. Try the Guacamole you will not be disappointed. Big Burrito was really big and flavorful. First place we stopped when we got off the plane.. Definitely a must stop. I’m a certified foodie!!!“

“Aztec is my "go to" place for client lunches. They serve delicious hot and fresh meals. Alex is friendly and accommodating. Aztec is an all around wonderful establishment.“

“My wife and I had an amazing dinner last night at Orale, our first visit. When we passed the place a few weeks ago and looked in, the staff beckoned us in with wide arms and smiles, and we decided we had to try it. Too bad we didn't go sooner! The flight of 3 guacamoles and 3 side sauces were distinctive and creative. We ordered the two special entrees: red snapper in a green mole and birria tacos with an authentic, delicious birria broth. This is authentic Mexican cuisine at its best, served by an extraordinarily friendly staff, and we will be back many times to try the rest of the menu!“

“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.“

“yep good food ill come back for sure“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“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!�“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“
