50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Harrison

“My eight year old is very picky. Very picky. And I want him to understand that Taco Bell is not Mexican food. So we went in hopes he would at least try some real tacos. Well, he did. I don’t know how you did it, El Macho but he polished off a full plate of four carnitas tacos! The waitress was nice enough to just give him meat and added cheese but he devoured them. We will be returning! Five stars!“

“Wow, pleasantly surprised by this place when I walked in. Very lively with loud music and a fun bar area. There is an upstairs also when it is packed. The place of food I ordered was a bang for your buck. Fried sea food, ceviche, and more.The drinks were ok. The bartender was super friendly! There is a bouncer at the front door since people were coming in to dance.“

“I'm about to eat here for the third time in the last 2 weeks. This place is 5/5, if you want just the burger you spending under $10 that's why I put $1-10, but that burger is so worth it alone. They also have a good lunch special that comes with a bacon cheeseburger and some NICELY seasoned fries for like 12 or 13.“

“It is so beautiful, the place makes you feel so familiar, the music, the atmosphere and the food is very good, it keeps the Latin flavor and the customer service girls are very warm and friendly. I will definitely return whenever I find myself in Harrison. Very satisfied and happy, it is very difficult to find a place in this country that makes you feel at home.“

“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.“

“I am not a big taco fan but these tacos were sooo good. They put an avocado sauce on top that tastes fantastic. And they are prices are pretty average for most taco spots. I had the quesabirria tacos- delicious!! It’s so great to finally have an authentic and tasty taco spot in Garfield. And the staff was so sweet and friendly. They gave my friend and I rose for Valentine’s Day. I will definitely be back!! 🥰“

“What a phenomenal experience! Just two men handling the counter, and they handled it AMAZING!! From the food, to the customer service, everything was wonderful. I’d highly recommend this Qdoba to anyone. My wife and I live in Woodbridge and stopped ordering Qdoba from the Iselin location because it’s so bad! This place has officially brought us back to being loyal Qdoba customers!“

“gracias por una buena atención la comida 10 de 10 siempre que boy me si ento bien consentida 😍😍🥰🥰 excelente servicio lo recomiendo 👌 al 100% bendiciones a todos“

“I’ve been coming to this small business for about 3/4 years now and although it’s just a taco truck I know enough that all I have to do is pick up my order and eat it at my house or enjoy it with my partner at the nearby park. I’m not gonna make a review about the “environment” of a taco truck and make them feel obligated to my seating needs for that I’ll just to a RESTAURANT it’s a perfect grab and go. The staff is very friendly and hard working people, for as busy as they get their customer service is consistently great. I want to mention how hard it is to find authentic AL PASTOR TACOS that are supposed to be made like how they make it here. The tortilla is always fresh, the meat is seasoned perfectly and you can tell by the color on the meat and the salsa verde is also perfect if you are into spicy fresh homemade salsa just the right texture not watery like others that I’ve had around the area.“

“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!“

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

“best authentic tacos in the island!!!“

“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“

“El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone! A wonderful place to practice my spanish! El Ranchero es mi taquería favorita. Los tacos son los mejores de la zona y el mole es delicioso. La comida es fresca y el servicio es fantástico. ¡Yo recomiendo esto a cualquiera!“

“happy hour! The food was excellent — you can tell it’s made by someone with authentic Spanish roots. Plenty of parking and the drinks were solid. The guacamole was a bit too salty for our taste, but overall we enjoyed it. For a family of four to eat enough during happy hour, expect to spend around $120, which was the only downside for us. Still a very good experience!“

“The food here is always so fresh and delicious. I haven't had a single meal that I didn't love. The La Exotica and La Consentida are my favorite menu items right now, but the tacos are also really good. I still need to try a lot of other things on the menu. The manager, the chef and the entire team are amazing people, super friendly and hard working. The kitchen, which is open to the dining area, is always immaculate. It reminds me of the really good hole in the wall restaurants I used to go to when I lived in Astoria, Queens. I cannot say enough good things about this spot... Probably my favorite addition to the area in my 2 years living here!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time checking out Tortas Lokas in Fairfield and my husband and I are both happy to have found this spot! The Tortas and Flan were amazing. A big thank you to our server Marilin and chef Pancho for making this a great experience. We will definitely be back 🙏🏽“

“Drinks and music is great“

“Flavors are good. The after taste of the tortilla was not pleasant, but the other items were great.“

“First time ordering today and I wasn't disappointed at all! Pastor Tacos -- Delish! meat was juicy and full of flavor and the pineapple also fresh steak quesadilla hit the mark as well the steak was nicely seasoned and plentiful. Look forward to stopping by soon and enjoy a meal in store. Also, delivery time was great and the driver very nice he helped me sing happy Birthday to my neighbor lol All the Best to You All at Figuritas“

“Luis & Our server were amazing!!“

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

“🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 Recommend you all to stop by and eat their Jus’antastic tacos“

“Authentic, delicious Mexican food. We came for lunch and both had tacos which were incredible. Felt like I was in Mexico City. Very good in house chips and salsa verde. Their hot sauce is incredible too. Our waitress was super friendly and put up with my very poor Spanish lol. I will definitely be back.“

“We drove right past it but THANK GOD we were able to turn around and get to it the food was heavenly juicy hot and suuuuper tasty the cook we spoke with was amazingly patient as he could see we wanted the entire menu but didn’t know how to order it lol the man was a saint and got us exactly what we wanted we were in such disbelief that such amazing tacos came from such a small spot but it’s clearly a top shelf establishment and will continuously recommend this place“

“Excellent atmosphere, quality service, delicious food. highly recommended.“

“deliciosos los tacos de huitlacohe“

“I live in the area and love trying out local restaurants, Taquerua La Casita did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great, wel lit and busy. Its a small place, but small places tend to be masters of their craft. I got two orders of tacos, tacos al pastor and tacos de costilla (recommended by the employee working he counter). Both were great, fresh and bold flavors. The pastor came with a slice of pineapple on top which was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the Verde sauce that came with the order. I will definitely return in the future. Thanks for the awesome food. I want to try every item on the menu 🙂“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Ordered through GrubHub and my order was stolen. The hostess worked with me for the next 30 minutes trying to correct this mistake and even comped one of my items after they offered for one of their own drivers to deliver the remade order. Will definitely order with them again.“

“Listen- it’s rare I love Mexican food as much as this. I’m celiac and have a lot of l difficulty eating out. However, not only was I was received with excitement and optimist but was also given the best Mexican food out of my life. This is my new favorite spot in the area. Will be coming back for the rest of my life. The food was delicious and some of the best I’ve had. They know what they’re doing here.“
