New Mexican Restaurants near Elizabeth, NJ

“My family attended the Easter celebration. We had a blast.“

“Food was absolutely delicious got the steak and shrimp and it was the best thing I’ve ever ate especially with their chorizo that’s plant based their all very delicious and the staff was very friendly and nice overall had a great first time experience Got served by sabime and Yesenia and they were the best !!!!!!!“

“Went there for drinks and dancing for my sister's birthday. Good music drink and atmosphere. I recommend the caipirinha. However what I don't like is that because at night its two different vibes/events, one downstairs and one upstairs you had to pay separately for both instead of one price and getting to switch between the two because then you are stuck if you don't like the music of the spot you picked. We went downstairs. It was mostly reggaeton, nee and old school and dembow, which is fine but they told us they were going to be mixing music but we barely got any merengue bachata or salsa. I had to beg the DJ 4 times for bachata“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“los tacos las sopas y todo lo bueno que tiene“

“Omg. I love this place. The customer service and food are phenomenal!! Huge shout-out to Mary & Mariah for their amazing energy and great smiles!!! Definitely made my day SO much better. Thanks Team!!! I really appreciate everything you do 😌❤️“

“First time here and I have to say the food is very good. In my opinion, better than Chipotle. Very tasty as well as Large portions.“

“Last night I took my wife and three children here for a bite to eat. We were greeted upon entering which is always nice to be acknowledged as a patron. The two men behind the counter were preparing orders already but they were quick. We were ordering withing two minutes. Christian and Rafael were their names. They were so attentive and efficient we had our food within minutes. We sat down and started eating and the food was out of this world. Then they brought out churros on the house that the kids loved. They were so kind. You don't see that a lot anymore. Especially in fast food places. The place was spotless. Very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Quesadilla, tacos or burritos. And the prices are very good!!! Thank you Christian and Rafael for the wonderful experience.“

“Not all Bookakoos are created equal… and this Washington Street location is the overachiever of the family.

From the staff to the manager, everyone here is genuinely wonderful. You can tell they actually care about their customers—not just about moving burritos out the door. That alone already puts them ahead, but then there’s the food. My chicken bowl and burritos were delish: fresh ingredients, great flavor, and noticeably bigger portions than other locations (yes, I noticed and yes, I appreciated it).

We had a little hiccup with an Uber Eats order, but the manager and staff handled it l—extremely accommodating, kind, and quick to sort everything out without any attitude. That kind of service is rare these days.

I literally travel 30 minutes just to come to this specific Bookakoos on Washington Street, and I’ll happily keep doing it. Totally worth the drive, every time. I’ll definitely be back.

Thank you for consistently great food and even better service! 🌯👏“
