50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Elmwood Park

“I usually order from this location on a regular basis and decided to leave a review because it's time, I am just concerned for the safety of the employees that work there by the register, many customers just come in and pick up the mobile orders, either there needs to be some sort of protective glass where the cashiers are, and I also think that the windows on the outside should be tinted so they aren't viewable from the outside in, it's just for safety precautions, because the employees that work in the food industry do all they can to satisfy the customers and they should be grateful cause it can be a tough position to be in, also an update, there needs to be backup on the register in case there is a line, they shouldn't leave one employee on the register all alone doing all the work when there is a line, there needs to be teamwork, overall, it's a good little fast food place, and I definitely recommend it..“

“Excellent restaurant serving a variety of Mexican and Mexican-inspired dishes, and some Sinaloan options like aguachile. It's hard to go wrong with any of the guacamoles, starters, or tacos. The aguachile and ceviches we've tried have been good. Was pleasantly surprised by their cocktails. Particularly like the Fridita and the Paloma. The couple that runs the restaurant is very kind. Nice ambiance too“

“I pass this place often in my travels so I finally decided to give it a try. Initially when I walked in and saw the prices of everything I almost walked out because everything seemed overpriced. But I figured since I was already there I may as well give it a try. And thank God I did The food and service were amazing and made my trip and the money worth it.“

“Ate at Ponche Taqueria yesterday with a friend before seeing a show. Great food, and freindly service! Menu is basic, but offers plenty. Guacamole was delicious as were the taco combo plates! Get off the beaten path a bit & you will be rewarded!“

“Ordered via uber eats tonight . I've wanted to try for awhile (since I did a delivery for Feed the Frontlines) and I wasn't disappointed! We shared several items and they were all yummy! I will definitely order again.“

“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. We had the tacos, regular bowl with carnitas and fajita bowl with steak and pina-mango drink. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Will come back to try El Pastor. Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.“

“Tequila, the food and of course, Amanda!“

“Great meal - drinks extraordinary. Definitely coming back.“

“first time here very impressed the food was too perfection will be back with more people“

“It is a wonderful place to eat. Friendly and wonderful place to enjoy a great meal“

“I love this place! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Brett the server is the best!! He it's attentive, patient, kind, fast with taking and bringing the orders and he checks to see if the order is satisfactory and if anything else is needed. I appreciate this kind of service especially after a hard day at work. Also, my friends and family members have expressed great gratitude for being treated so well. The food prices can't be beat, the quality and quantity is great, well worth every penny. The friendly and happy atmosphere is very welcoming and enjoyable. I feel at home here. I highly recommend Chevy's in Clifton to everyone I know. Thank you so much for all the hard work and dedication to providing excellent customer service and delicious food!! Love it.“

“A lot of thought and time went into designing this beautiful, spacious interior, including textured wall surfaces and designer lighting. Perfect for parties and couples alike, and kid froendly during the day with fancy mocktails. Take pride in hand crafted cocktails with freshly squeezed lime and yes they really look like the photo. Accommodating of allergies. Lots of flavor and great presentation“

“Don't get me started on this resturaunt. If I die of a heart attack, it WILL be because I eat too much food here. And I'd die HAPPY. This resturaunt is exquisite and potentially some of the best Mexican food in the county. First, you can get Mexican Coke. Second, the seasoning they use might as well be sold by it's own. I've tried near everything on the menu and when somebody asks me what to get, I'd say I don't know. Because everything is great. The owner is incredibly kind. Larga vida a los tacos es vida!“

“Amazing food !!! Highly recommended… Fast delivery service“

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“We have been enjoying this restaurant for many years, starting back when it was Leon Bakery! We are always so happy with the food, and the staff is always super cool. Thanks!“

“Great food and prices.... the servers are excellent and attentive. I been there at least 10 times and it never dissapoint. I highly recommend it“

“Great place for food and cocktails !“

“Perfect! Tacos Al Pastor and Aquas Frescas“

“We have visited this restaurant on multiple occasions and have had great experiences every single time.

Food is delicious & affordable! The staff is friendly and attentive! 🙂
On a couple of occasions we've had to wait to be seated (due to the popularity!) but our wait has never been over 20 mins.

All in all, definitely recommend for yummy, authentic mexican food at an unbeatable price!“

“A group of Canadian ladies happened upon this incredible restaurant. Daniel was on his second day and made our experience incredible! Trio of Tacos, all were fresh, well balanced and so flavourful! This is must stop on anyone’s travels! Highly recommend!“

“We had a wonderful anniversary celebration with friends at Uno Mas Saturday night. Delicious food, great service, and super friendly vibe!“

“We tried the street corn, burritos, tamales, chips & salsa, quesadillas, and the list goes on. Not a single complaint. Kids and adults in our group loved it. Some went back for second rounds!

Check this place out!“

“Enjoy excellent food and friendly counter service from this restaurant. As always, ask for the house hot sauce - it’s delicious. There are good options for vegetarians on the menu.“

“Great family restaurant and member of the business community in Wayne.“

“Food was great. Ordered a pork tamale which came out steaming and delicious. The Al-Pastor tacos were also excellent. I only deducted a star on the food since the serving size was a bit less than a full meal, but maybe I'm just a gavone? They give you three and they're decently sized. Flavor, service, everything was great no complaints. I recall the prices being decent as well.“

“Worth the 2 hour drive every single time, los mejores tacos que he probado en todo NJ. atención esmerada y super agradable.“
