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..“

“Great evening here with beer and margarita monday , Cucumber, classic and passion fruit absolutely brilliant. smashing service from bar man Trevor was top class and so welcoming....“

“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“

“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“

“Delicious Mexican seafood. Every dish was flavorful and had a good portion of seafood. I would recommend the Cobb Caesar and the Lobster Fideo Seco. I definitely would come back! The staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself was very cozy“

“Playa Betty's has great tasting tacos and the staff and atmosphere is awesome! ❣️ frm:🇯🇵🇺🇸“

“My husband and I first heard about this place from King Schratz and I’m so glad we did!

Yes, like others have mentioned, it is a bit pricey, but it's absolutely worth it. The food is consistently delicious and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. My husband loves their tacos and burrito, and I’m a big fan of their elotes, tacos and taco bowls. Even my 79-year-old mother, who normally isn’t a fan of Mexican food, loves theirs. That alone says a lot!

Their tres leches is also incredible. I’ve sampled a lot of tres leches cakes in my life and theirs easily jumped to the top of my list.

Beyond the food, the customer service is just as impressive. Two of the owners, Jay and Kike, are always so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They even offer delivery, and their driver, Juan, is just as awesome! In this day and age, it’s rare to find a Mexican spot that’s both authentic and Latino-owned... and Just Tacos is exactly that. We’re more than happy to keep supporting them!“

“The birria tacos were delicious! Excellent service.“

“I visited this place for the first time, and they have some of the most delicious chicken and beef bowls I’ve ever had. The food was excellent, the location is great with plenty of parking, and the flavors were outstanding. This is definitely a spot everyone should visit whenever they’re in the area.“

“Excellent places , if you want to have at great time with family or friends , great atmosphere , great food , great drinks , great staff , ty Gretel will highly recommended to everyone #new sherif in town 🙏🏼“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and interesting menu offering plenty of delicious options. We will be back for sure!“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic food. We went there twice so far. Everything from the hostess to the tacos and apps (esp the cauliflower!! To die for) are absolutely amazing. Drinks too. There was one small issue with the tortillas once and when I asked for a new one it couldn’t have been smoother. Easily becoming one of our fav in the city“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“The resturant is great. It has an amazing atmosphere, very clean, and the food was delicious. My waiter Alanna was the best waiter I've ever encountered. She was extremely nice and her service was great. I'm definitely going to be coming back.“

“Queridos Alex y María, Desde el principio captaron mi atención. Su huella en la industria es única; a lo largo de los años, su constancia ha sido de primera. Oro para que cada proyecto en el que se aventuren multiplique su fe en Dios.“

“Perfect! Tacos Al Pastor and Aquas Frescas“

“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“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“Food was excellent. Everything that I had was great. Flounder, was fantastic. Great place to eat good service fantastic atmosphere.“

“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.“

“My friend Mari invited to me to eat a Mexican food, she is from Ecuador, I ‘ am from México , I really enjoyed it! I really recommend to anyone because it is the authentic Mexican food? the owners are so friendly ?“

“Went on a Friday at 4pm. Party of 2. Sat immediately. Barcode menu. Server arrived after a couple minutes and took our order. Answered all questions concerning ingredients. Seafood empanada was okay. Quesadilla and tacos were great. Ordered a house pitcher got about 4/5 glasses out of it. Left feeling great. Music was hot 100s hip hop and reggaeton.“

Everything was incredibly flavorful and service was top notch.
