28 Best Mexican Restaurants near East Windsor

“Wasn’t my first time coming here, though it was in a while; during a World Cup night or whatever. I’m going to have some grace in this review, so I do want to admit that I came in 40 minutes before closing, and a lot of restaurants usually close an hour before their “closing time”, so I want to appreciate the fact that I was still served, though it took around 15 minutes for someone to serve us, but what doesn’t make the situation way better is that I have to ask to be served. Okay, I get it. World Cup, maybe understaffed. But the wait was insane. Like, I’ve been to many “Plaza Aztecas”, and I get my food under 15 minutes, even under 8 minutes sometimes. And the wait was literally a wait that I had to ask to be served (2 minutes after asking, I was served). Since I was here before the restaurant closed, I guess the kitchen was running low on their Agua Frescas, and from what I heard, there wasn’t any horchata? Alright cool, I guess. So I ordered my food, and most of it went normally, and it’s great that the waiters/waitress can speak Spanish for non-English speakers, though as I said most it went normal, I didn’t expect my fajitas to come without the veggies, but it was a mistake on my part since I should’ve emphasized I wanted the veggies, and lastly, I didn’t get the flour tortillas I asked for. I just wanted the original fajitas (just the meat and veggies with the flour tortillas)? So communication and customization was my fault. And I want to mention that the fajitas, especially the steak tasted over seasoned. Though you guys could use my review to now ask diners if they want veggies or not to prevent something like this from happening. The bathroom was clean. And since it was World Cup, I’m not sure if there was any music playing, but man, at times, it got pretty loud. Hopefully, next time the experience is as great or better. Thanks for serving me 40 minutes before the restaurant closed.“

“Loved free Queso Day On September 20th. Hope having more days like that coming up.“

“I got the Cheesesteak. The roll was definitely chef's kiss. The Cheesesteak wasn't bad, it was actually better than Wawa, it feels like they skimpped out a little on the meat. The plus side is they'll probably put whatever you want on it without judging you, since when I ordered it he started asking me questions like I was trying to build a salad. Who the hell puts lettuce and mayo on a Cheesesteak.“

““I didn't have a reservation, but they seated me immediately and treated me very kindly. The young lady who served us was very patient with the children about the food and an excellent host.” I ordered a Molcajete which was delicious and thanks to the children I even ate fries. I recommend them.“

“Whoever made InaK's chipotle ubereats order around like 9-10 pm just know:

You filled my bowl to the brim i didn't even order anything extra😭😭😭 THANK YOU MY GOATS I LOVE YOU GUYS🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Im so freaking happy rn“

“I usually don’t review fast food but this Taco Bell makes every Taco Bell I have ever been to look like trash. Staff was very polite and happy. Food was hot and didn’t taste like it’s been sitting. The serving of meat in our meal was generous. Wasn’t skimpy. Worth everyone penny. I would have paid more honestly.“

“love it“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“Taqueria María @ Jamesburg NJ Fresh taste Fresh food Great service I JUST LOVE IT“

“We personally love their quesadillas“

“Always very tasty. Great staff. Great atmosphere.“

“I ate at the Monroe store today. I had never been at a Buubakoos before and did not know what to expect. I had the pork burrito and it was off the hook. The place was spotless and the service was spot on. The manager came over and introduced himself as John and asked if everything was satisfactory, and it was more than satisfactory. You would think John was the owner not just the manager, he cared as if was his own business. It was good to see that. I will be back for sure, my new go to place.“

“Best authentic mexican food around. The place is super clean and the people ate very nice with smiles on their faces. Being that we love the food so much and we go quite often I decided to learn Spanish and I communicated what food we wanted in Spanish and to my surprise we got exactly what i asked for. Anyway, I highly recommend this place as the food is so fresh and full of flavor! We get the Empanadas and Huaraches with a side of rice/beans.“

“Management issue-This is a great spot with great food but they are constantly understaffed on their busiest nights. It’s not fair to the one server they have to handle all the takeout/phones and whole dining room during the rush. I’ve seen customers leave in frustration. They’re losing people over a quick fix of hiring ONE more person to help at least on Tuesdays! Get it together guys.“

“We had our son's high school graduation dinner here and it was amazing!! I met with Alfredo to come up with a prefix menu for our family gathering. From the appetizer of chicken empanada with all the fixings, to filled burritos of every kind, and the amazing atmosphere, this was an amazing day! Alfredo and his staff were attentive to us and we left with our bellies full of authentic Mexican meals!! We can't wait to go back and enjoy this local restaurant and share more memories and enjoy delicious food!“

“Everything was Great haven’t had Tacos that Good ever“

“The best Mexican food and service!!!“

“Just ate an absolutely delicious burrito. My dad had a bowl. Everything was amazing BUT, THE CARMAL CHURROS AND THE GUAVA EMPANADA were just the best I've ever had. My mouth is watering for those churros. Can't go wrong eating here. Im from Miami but asoon as im in the area again here is where im eating.“

“Authentic is the exact word for this place! Not one place comes close to this!“

“Had been wanting to try Chapin for a while, but the cash only setup made it a bit tricky at first. Finally came prepared with the right change (and then some).

The place has limited about 3-4 people seating with stools on opposite sides of the wall. Tried their beef burrito — total came to $14.75 with a side of Tamarindo. Fair enough by Princeton standards. The taste? Solid. Not something that’ll knock your socks off, but definitely good value for the price. Noticed it’s a spot frequented by Latino customers — so I trust they know the authentic flavors far better than I do as an outsider. All in all, worth the visit if you’re in the area and craving something casual“

“The food is delicious and I love their queso its the best. And service is always good.“

“Everything was Great haven’t had Tacos that Good ever“

“The barbacoa was tasty, and the rice bowl has a pretty good sized portion. A little odd that the shredded cheese is portioned to the side, so it doesn't melt at all... But the flavor and portion size were certainly above average for the park.“

“We recently dined at Taste of Mexico and tried the chicken fajitas. The chicken was well seasoned and flavorful, and the rice and beans were a great addition to the overall meal. However, I found the portion of chicken to be small, which was a bit underwhelming. Additionally, the vegetables, which are meant to be a side, ended up taking over the plate. While the overall taste was good, a better balance between the chicken and vegetables would have made this a more enjoyable meal. In addition to the chicken fajitas, we ordered the carne enchiladas, which were served along a bed of rice, beans, and a simple green salad. The grilled pork in the enchiladas was marinated well and juicy. The carne complimented the sautéed tomatoes, onions, and jalepeños tenderly filled inside the enchiladas. The carne enchiladas was a well-sized dish and was quite delectable. Now onto the star of the meal... The Tres Leches Cake. The sponge-like cake, soaked in the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream, was a symphony of richness and delight to our taste buds. Despite the prevalence of milk, the dish never felt heavy and continued to be light and luscious till the very last bite.

Vegetarian options: Lots of great vegetarian options. Black/pinto beans, rice, guacamole, vegetable platters, vegetable enchiladas.

Parking: Lots of parking behind(free), paid street parking on the main downtown street and, paid parking garage situated behind the Princeton public Library

Kid-friendliness: Great quaint spot, friendly for kids of all ages

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is primarily flat ground with no steps. There is a slight slope which the restaurant is located on, however this is very slight, but just a FYI!“

“I mostly get take out and order the same thing. I want to try eveything but I love the fried Porgy fish with rice and beans with salad and plaintains. The owner Rudy is great!!! He's so welcoming and inviting and he has great energy. You're sure to have a great mean and great interactions at this establishment!!!“

“The food is amazing! True authentic cuisine. The atmosphere is just so kind and welcoming. Definitely need always want a torta for lunch!! 😋“

“today was my first time in the restaurant. the guy working was really helpful. his name is Jason. he allowed me to try different sauces to see what i wanted and was patient with me. I'll be back if the service continues.“

“Fresh and the highest quality ingredients at an affordable price. What’s not to like? The queso and hot sauce are a must-try and I’m absolutely hooked. The owner is a very generous and charitable man who gives back to the community. He sponsored my child’s annual soccer party.“
