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!“

“My wife and I come here sometimes and the eggs platter breakfast is always solid. One recommendation we have is that the potatoes could have a bit more flavor. But overall, the service is great, we always love the 80s/throwback music that is playing it gives the place a nostalgic vibe which is great. we'll see you again soon“

“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.“

“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 Love ❤️ their chicken and steak 🥩 tacos 🌮 and their Melanesa steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 🥰❤️“

“Unbelievable spot. The food was so delicious and everything was made from scratch. The cocktails were amazing, the wine list perfect, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I can’t believe I found this spot. We will be going back all the time.

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

13/10 meal.“

“My family attended the Easter celebration. We had a blast.“

“First time trying and I was impressed with the menu offerings! I enjoyed the fresh tuna & the fish taco. Looking forward to trying more items next time! It was great to have alcoholic options too.

“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❤“

“Todo muy delicioso lo recomiendo llegar a comer todos los platillos“

“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.“

“Great food nice atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I went there to celebrate my birthday and the service was excellent!!! Our server was very attentive and we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering it. 10/10 recommend!!🤩🥳👏🏼🌮🇲🇽😋“

“Flavorful food here, especially their sauces! We had been looking in the area for a good Mexican spot and this is the place. Another star for being walking distance from the rock climbing gym right next door. So great for a good rock climbing sesh and great Mexican food after! Our waiters Yahir and Marilin were especially amazing! Great service and the food came out quick and hot. The horchata was especially good!“

“Best Mexican food I’ve ever had, the quesadillas are magical!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“Some of the best authentic Mexican tacos in the area! I've tried a few taco places within 10 minutes of here but this place is the best. Always get my Al Pastor tacos from here. Love the green sauce they provide. Super easy to place an order for pickup over the phone. Very reasonable prices compared to other taco restaurants.“
