50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Englishtown

“First of all the service is great,I ordered before hand so that I would be able to get there and have my food already made,And the girl on the phone was very nice and patient,she also explained to me what certain things were that I didn’t understand because they were in Spanish.The food was very good and filling.But I do recommend ordering by the serving size they give you and not ordering 1 quesadilla because the serving is two.The prices were reasonable and for (a torta,tacos,soles a side of Mexican cactus) I only paid around 40 including beverages.“

“I got the tacos al pastor and it was amazing. The tortillas were unlike anything I have ever tasted before and the pork and pineapple was delicious; I also loved their salsas. The only thing wrong was she gave 3 tacos instead of 4 like it says on the menu and it was a bit pricey, but I'll still go back.“

“Sarita's TexMex Restaurant has set the bar high with their outstanding fajitas, a dish that truly embodies the vibrant and hearty essence of Tex-Mex cuisine. As a frequent visitor, I have always been impressed by the quality and flavor that Sarita's consistently delivers, but their fajitas stand out as a true culinary masterpiece.“

“I went here tonight for my father’s birthday and the experience overall was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming, our waitress was friendly and engaging, and the food was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu. Also the tres leches was some of the best I’ve ever had 🤤“

“We shop in NJ on Saturdays. My daughter asked for Shrimp Tacos. I said ok google, and Las Chiangas popped up. It was near so we headed out. I cannot tell you how amazing this experience was. This place is very small with about 8 tables. We had 2 adults and 3 kids. My daughter asked if they had apple juice for the two kids. They did not... next thing you know, they ran next door and got two bottles for us. I was blown away. To say this place is welcoming would be an understatement. The woman who waited on us was so joyous. The menu is extensive. We ordered simple items. The food was delicious. Now this place is all about home cooking. There are seasoned ladies in the back cooking with a passion for their culture. What a great place. At the end, my daughter said that we would be coming back again, and indeed we will. Thank you so much for making our day so special.“

“TKO is my favorite spot in Freehold. Food is excellent staff is kind and helpful. Can’t beat this place.“

“We order from here all of the time they are always fresh and today we ordered churros and it came as strawberry churros and strawberry ice cream for Valentine’s Day! It was such a nice surprise! I love eating in the establishment but we often order through door dash and they are always perfect“

“The food tasted great. The service here was good. Wish the best of luck to Edgar and Melliase.“

“Ordering pickup from El Mexicano is so GREAT! Starting with the AMAZING customer service when calling to order our food. The young lady answers very politely, understands our order and gets it right every-time! It is ready is a very timely manner. It is carefully packed, with salsas and chips. Most orders include a little salad, limes, and yummy chiles. We love the enchiladas verdes, pollo empanizado (breaded chicken cutlet). The arroz and fríjoles are DELICIOUS! The carnitas are so YUMMY too! Definitely recommend!“

“We received an advertisement with a coupon in the mail today and this place looked right up my alley. Having grown up in California, I am always on the hunt for really good Mexican food. I ordered dinner for my wife and I and it was great. The carnitas were excellent and the guacamole was great. The only thing I wish they had on their menu was Chile Verde as I can’t seem to find it on the East Coast. I will definitely be back soon as their takeout was hot and fresh. I’m glad to have found this place.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“La primera vez en mi vida que todo es perfecto, la comida la atención TODO me encanto de verdad que lo recomiendo el mejor restaurante de comida mexicana que he probado 💕“

“Love this Qdoba everyone is so kind!! The food is fresh and great I come here once a week!“

“This particular bubbakoos hit many marks that a lot of the other franchises tend to miss nowadays. It brings me back to the original efficient 1st two when bubbakoos first hit the scene by the beach. We will drive a extra 10mins everytime for quality where the others closer to us fall short. Steak and shrimp was fresh and not over cooked. I hope they keep it up!“

“Great experience,really good food,drinks,very good service and a beautiful place and decorations 😍“

“Amazing food and amazing staff. I ordered a bunch of food for my family and was very impressed with the quality & quantity of the food as well as the service. Will definitely be ordering again!

I would recommend the chicken tamales, the Chicken Mole, and the Bandeja Fiesta platter. It was all incredibly delicious!“

“Excellent Mexican Food! Our family throughly enjoyed their food! We loved it and will definitely go back again.“

“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“

“I love this place. Hand made tortillas are really tasty. There isn’t any other lace like this in miles! A local gem! Me gusta mucho y lo recomiendo por encima de los otros que hay alrededor“

“We ordered food on a Saturday evening and within ten minutes the food was ready. Got home and everything was so good. Quesadillas, burrito bowl, birria tacos and street corn. Our two year old ate so much of it. Prices weren't terrible. We would definitely go back.“

“Great food tortas de carne enchilada are to die for definitely a must try“

“They opened the grill for me and my sick friend the day before christmas to make us breakfast and I feel terrible i could not give them a big tip, so I am giving them a GREAT review. If you want good steak tacos or a breakfast sandwich , this is the place to go!“

“buenos presios y comida muy rica“

“First time there today , the service is excellent , food was fresh and yummy, love the location and the seating , all tables no booths very roomy , friendly staff , we will be back!“

“This place is truly something special. It’s an upscale Mexican/Tex-Mex experience that feels incredibly elevated and intentionally designed from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is dark, mysterious, and absolutely beautiful…every detail feels curated to create a one-of-a-kind vibe.

The cocktails are spectacular. You can tell each drink is crafted with real expertise and attention to detail, not just in flavor, but in presentation and experience. Everything works together, from the fire and smoke to the sparklers, creating such an exciting and immersive moment with every cocktail. I had a mezcal drink that was honestly the best I’ve ever had.

We started with chips, guacamole, and three different salsas, all of which paired perfectly together and complemented the margaritas so well. We also had the chicken tinga tostada, which was loaded and full of flavor. Definitely a standout appetizer.

For dinner, I had the lobster paella risotto and it was incredibly creamy and delicious. I especially appreciated that it focused on lobster and not other seafood elements as I have allergies, which worked perfectly for me. Truly a five-star dish. My boyfriend ordered the chef’s favorite chicken dish and couldn’t even finish it because of how generous the portion was…the chicken was cooked perfectly.

The portions overall are great for the price. You might expect smaller servings because of how upscale it is, but that’s not the case at all.

The sangria (both red and white) was also amazing! Not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced and refreshing. It genuinely felt like summer in a glass.

What made the experience even more special was the attention to detail in hospitality. It was my birthday, and they gave me a sweet birthday card when I arrived and ended the night with a candle to make a wish. Such a thoughtful touch 🩵😭

Before leaving, we walked around to take in the entire space, and it was so cool to see how different each area felt. One side is more intimate and quiet, perfect for smaller tables, while the other is more energetic and designed for larger groups. Even the bar is a whole experience on its own, with flame elements that add to the atmosphere.

We will absolutely be back for another special occasion, and next time hopefully with friends. I can’t wait to try more of their cocktails.

I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention the service… our server was excellent, and although I do not remember his name, he had such knowledge and expertise of the menu that his suggestions and pairings were spot on. As well as the rest of the wait staff and buster’s collectively working together to make sure we had an upscale dining experience. It felt wonderful to be truly attended to.

Thank you! 😊“

“Delicious food, very friendly owner. Highly recommended-definitely try the guacamole with truffle oil 🙌“

“Excelente comida y una buena atención yo les recomiendo“

“HAND MADE TORTILLAS that taste so fresh!!!!! We came for breakfast and the food is so fresh, well prepared, and delicious. High quality, non greasy authentic Mexican food. The chorizo is seasoned well and they give you generous portions, will definitely be coming back“

“Been telling myself forever to try this place and finally stopped in. Staff was incredibly friendly! The Gorditas were phenomenal and I had the absolute spiciest burrito I’ve ever had in my life that I just could not stop eating! Can’t wait to go back, 6/5 stars!“

“It was takeout. The service was very efficient and a very pleasant server. Food was delicious, generous (lots of chunks of grilled chicken) and economical.

Dietary restrictions: My tacos had grilled chicken and healthy salsa.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance and all the other accommodations were more than adequate.“

“(Translated by Google) The girls are very nice. The food is tasty, sometimes very spicy ... sometimes it is overdone with seasonings. Well nobody is perfect. Anyway, they treat you well.(Original)Son muy amables las muchachas. La comida es sabrosa, algunas veces muy picante..hay veces la pasan de condimentos. Bueno nadie es perfecto. En fin, te tratan bien.“

“Excellent service! Staff was very attentive, our server, Alessandra was amazing!She was so personable and knowledgeable about meals. Food had huge portions and absolutely delicious. Everything from the drinks, to the appetizers to the meal.“

“Delicious food coupled with an enjoyable atmosphere! The staff is both pleasant and attentive! It has become a favorite of ours! 👍“

“Excelente servicio y muy buena la comida recomendado“

“Great Mexican food large selection everything is fresh and the service the best“

“Food is absolutely delicious! recommend it“

“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.“

“Great and flavorful pan dulce. They offer a wide variety, such as the ojos de buey, conchas, pan de muerto, and bigotes. The bread here is notches above your typical pan dulce, with great texture, while being wonderfully spiced and aromatic, and best served directly from the cooling rack to your plate. There's tasty, hot coffee to go with your bread, plus they also have a full kitchen, with a whiteboard of daily specials and a full menu, offering such specialties as mole poblano with hand-made tortillas.“

“Excellent little diner inside the convenience store right next to Dunkin donuts. It's a family-owned business. It's a husband and wife. The wife makes the best empanadas there. They're fresh, made every single day. The chicharron is excellent. And I love the breakfast sandwiches. That's usually my go-to there. I get a a pork roll egg and cheese with jalapenos and they get my order right every single time.“

“Felt like home small a lil on the tight tables space. But the food felt like home. Awesome definitely recommend.“

“Stopped at the new Tesla Supercharger down the block. Not many good food options on site but we found Sam’s thru google search. With Boars Head meats and great reviews we had to give it a try! So glad we did! Very generous portions and good bread too. Amazing Jersey Subs!! The place had a steady stream of customers coming in too while they crafted our sandwiches which proved it’s well loved by the locals. They have some picnic tables just outside! Sam I recommend you move down the block next to the charger or once the Tesla Supercharger location is added to the Google maps (I submitted a request to google already) you need to get people to add a review mentioning your deli there.“

“The service is out standing . Our waitress Danielle is a real sweet heart . Danielle goes over and above the call of duty to make sure we enjoy our drinks and meal every time we come in for dinner . I highly recommend.Escondidos in freehold . See you again soon Danielle !“

“Came in late on a Saturday Afternoon, my wife and I were greeted by two employees Kayla and Jeremy. Rarely do I ever write reviews for places but I must say these two employees had provided such amazing service that I feel compelled to leave this here. Kayla and Jeremy were both attentative and focused on their food prep and neither were annoyed by my wife's dietary restrictions. Kayla even prepped my wife's food separately because of her dietary sensitivities, making sure to use separate spatulas, spoons etc to avoid cross contamination. It isn't often when we go out to a Mexican style restaurant and are greeted so warmly and provided such wonderful service when staff are met with our situation. Jeremy and Kayla were focused, precise and quick preparing our food and their attitudes were both respectful and kind. If you have any dietary concerns or sensitivities know you are in good hands when you stop by this Bubbakoo's Location and are assisted by either Kayla or Jeremy. We look forward to visiting this establishment again in the future.

Food was warm, even after the drive home its kept together well and was still hot following a 20 minute drive, tasted excellent and was a great reminder of why we should return on a taco tuesday.“

““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.“

“I love the food here ... 5 years going always great good and nice people ...“
