50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Elmwood Park

“Pickup or dine in. EVERYTHING is delicious! Fantastic family place.“

“NEW UPDATE: Some of the customers should ask the managers for the restroom key, because some of these customers are disgusting and they leave the restroom a mess, then they blame the restaurant, and making the employees clean up the restroom, that is inappropriate, some customers should have some decency, learn how to clean up after yourselves, this isn't your house, this is a restaurant, some of the employees that work here do all they can to satisfy the customers, some go above and beyond, plus they are also open late and they have the patience to keep on serving, the least some of the customers could do is treat the employees with the same respect they give you when they serve you, that's all I have to say..“

“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.“

Stars: the ceviche, the guac, the burrata, the tuna, and ALL of the tacos.

13/10 meal.“

“Stumbled across Carla after wandering around the area and decided to check it out. SO happy we did because Eric, our server, was hands down one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. It was a great experience and everything from the food to the drinks was incredible! Will definitely be back soon!“

“Excellent food good portions and great drinks it was great from start to finish Ava was attended and friendly nothing but good vibes would definitely come back 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!“

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

“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!“

“The birria tacos were delicious! Excellent service.“

“Definitivamente las mejores quesadillas de Tinga al carbón.“

“Ronny was absolutely amazing and made our visit to Chevy’s a great experience from start to finish. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine personality immediately made us feel welcomed. He didn’t just provide great service he made sure we felt comfortable, respected, and truly cared for.
What impressed us the most was the way Ronny treated my mom. He went out of his way to make sure she was happy and had everything she needed. His patience, positive attitude, and thoughtful way of helping made her feel special. My mom left Chevy’s with a big smile and kept talking about how wonderful Ronny was and how much she appreciated the way he treated us.
People like Ronny are what make a place stand out. He brings great energy, kindness, and dedication to his work, and it shows through the way he interacts with customers. He made our experience memorable, and we are truly grateful for the excellent service he provided. Chevy’s is lucky to have someone like Ronny on their team, and we look forward to coming back again because of him. THANK YOUUUU SO MUCH RONNY❤“

“Great fresh halal Mexican food. At this point my baby is going to come out wearing a sombrero because of how often I eat here 😂. In all honesty, the food slaps and I always leave feeling satisfied. Preggo lady approved. 👍🏼 I always recommend the loaded nachos(birria of course), birria quesadilla and the birria tacos. Chicken burritos are also delish, I personally avoid the California burrito because I feel it’s too salty.“

“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!“

“Legit some of the best tacos I’ve ever had, and for sure the best tasting beans I’ve ever had in my life. Small little family run shop with very friendly staff, service was very fast and food was just incredible. Really enjoyed the theming and music, really sets the atmosphere. Definitely come get some amazing delicious food!“

“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.“

“Just tacos. Maybe tacos and a little bit of everything else.
Food was delicious and Enrique was awesome very hospitable made the whole experience even better.
Served hot and wait time was no more than 5-10min for our food.
To be completely transparent a bit on the pricier side but overall 8/10 all around.“

“Edit: Updating my review. After it was open for a couple months I went back and it was much improved, bumping up to 4 stars.

Recently opened. I'll cut them some slack but the staff clearly are not trained well enough yet. Unorganized, broken burritos, confusion, bags not big enough, etc. Id wait a month or two until they are more trained.“

“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“

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

“First off, those chips and guac… yummmmm! 😍 Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the meal.
Since it was my first visit, I decided to try a variety of tacos, and I’m so glad I did! The fish and shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious, I devoured them. They were packed with flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly.“

“Toda su comida deliciosa Me encantó estar en New York No extrañe mi comida 🫰🏻“

“Tacoria is easily my go-to lunch spot since I work nearby, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of my workday. On top of that, the staff is always so friendly and welcoming especially Peter and Jose, which makes the experience even better. Great food and great people. You really can’t ask for more. Highly recommend!“

“Without a doubt the best taco’s I’ve ever had! Cute neighborhood establishment. Really nice staff! Thank you! 🌮🌮🌮🌮❤️“

“I absolutely loved it! I really enjoyed dining here. The atmosphere was very relaxing, the staff was attentive to every table, and the food was delicious. I would definitely come back. Sofia is an excellent employee—if I return, I would love for her to be my server again. The manager was also very friendly and welcoming, and he made everyone feel comfortable from the moment they arrived. His warm hospitality really added to the overall experience.“

“Everything on the menu is excellent I have never had a bad meal. Margaritas are a must“

“Great food! we go every time we are in the city.“

“I was born in Mexico City and have been living in NYC for a decade. I’m always searching for flavors that take me back home. I’ve had tacos all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, and my search has finally ended with the flavors of the suadero tacos, al pastor tacos, the guacamole, the homemade salsas and the agua de Jamaica.

The cabeza and lengua tacos especially take me back to Sunday afternoons with my family.

Thank you, Urban Taqueria.“

“We really loved this placed visiting from Houston Pablo took really good care if us the service was amazing and the food was just as good, I had the chicken poblano dish 10/10 definitely will be coming back to dine with this establishment. Coming from the Houston Mexican cuisine scene wow above and beyond.“
