Mexican Restaurants near Hightstown

“Twice I’ve ordered food from here for takeout and didn’t get any utensils or napkins. Their food is MESSY so you can’t eat this without some backup. I wasn’t born in the dark ages. Why would I get rice and beans with no way of eating it or cleaning up after myself? The food itself is fine but stock up before you go. Make your 2024 better: TacoRita is out, Taco Bell is in.“

“Stopped by for lunch and ordered the shrimp tacos that were on special to find out this place serves authentic and excellent food. The pico de gallo was freshly made and the guac was equally good. I recommend giving them a try when you’re near or in town.“

“Great food, we ordered cheese Quesadilla and Guacamole with chips and strawberry milkshakes. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, the Guacamole in particular was one of the best I have had. Would definitely return here and try some of the other items on the menu.“

“This place is amazing I went there based on the reviews I was a bit nervous as my family and I love Mexican food and we have our fav spot but we were ready to explore soemthing new and let me tell you this is THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD is simple but delicious the tortillas were so fresh and the chips and salsa verde WOW it was a party in my mouth. We loved it and its definitely our #1 spot. Alfredo the owner sat and talked to us and was super friendly also. We really recommend this place. ?“

“Food is great! I asked for tacos de birria and they were delicious, also the plate my fiancé had was great which was carne asada, we also ordered pork and cheese pupusas but we don’t really like pork so they were okay, I bet the beans and cheese are way better ? overall the place is small, so you may want to order to go instead, I don’t live around here so I had them there, service was quick and the people there are really nice. I would definitely recommend this place ☺️“

“The food be bussin'.Authentic.Genuine.Flavorful.These are the words that I would use in describing Taqueria Maria's. We have eaten from Taqueria Maria's previously, however, that occasion called for take-out. I recall the food being rather good. However, it wasn't until we chose to dine-in at the location that we were reminded of how amazing the food is.While the menu inclined towards the Tex-Mex varietal, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. The ambiance - the music, neutral clay tones of the walls and flooring, and the sound of sizzling food on the griddle echoing from the kitchen - really set the mood and complimented the authenticity of the food. The staff seemed very happy-go-lucky and were incredibly friendly in their service.Beginning with the complimentary nacho chips, you will be pleasantly treated with two different salsas (verde and roja). While neither were incredibly spicy on the Scoville spectrum, they both hold their individual uniqueness. The verde sauce definitely has a bigger kick than the roja, while the red sauce is delightfully flavorful - it's as if Rao's had a baby with a puree'd roasted red bell pepper.We ordered the burrito and the enchiladas plates. The burrito serving was massive and generous, being garnished with a bed of lettuce on top. Meanwhile, everything about the enchiladas plate was spectacular - from the black beans, rice, to the enchiladas themselves. The same verde sauce for the nachos now appeared to dress and gracefully bathe the pair of enchiladas, enriching it with tantalizing flavor. This spice paired perfectly with the chicken, as hints of lime and cilantro accentuated the entire profile of the meal. While the saucy beans mixed with the soft texture of the rice grains to create a satiating meal. We also ordered a side of grilled jalapenos which were made to perfection - holding the perfect amount of char, whilst retaining the satisfying crunch.If Taqueria Maria's was a bit closer, I reckon that my family and I would frequent this eatery more often. I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a good Mexican meal, whether that be for lunch or dinner.“

“Whenever I am in the area, this Mexican deli is my go to stop! Lots of my Mexican restaurant only give three tacos in the order BUT this place does four. It has been years since I found a place that does 4 tacos in a order! 100% recommend the tacos from this place and picadas. The only down part of this place is the dining, there are only a couple of tables and in the weekend it is usually hard to find one. I have been very lucky and have always found a table but I have seen others. The owner of this restaurant shows great hospitality and is attentive to customers.“

“We went Sunday afternoon as a group of 10. We ordered 9 different entrées and they were all great. My husband loved the steak fajitas and the steak with chimichurri sauce was a hit!! The food was fresh and not overly salty. Our servers were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!“

“Flavorful and Diverse: A Review of Tacoria in PrincetonI recently had the pleasure of dining at Tacpria, a Mexican fast-food gem that left me impressed with its delicious food and diverse menu offerings. From gluten-free to vegan options and a range of mouthwatering sauces, there was something to satisfy every palate. While the music was a bit loud and seating could be challenging to find at times, the overall experience was nothing short of delightful.Upon entering Tacoria , I was immediately drawn to the vibrant and inviting atmosphere. The menu boasted an impressive array of options, with a particular emphasis on accommodating various dietary preferences. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I was thrilled to find a plethora of gluten-free choices available, ensuring that everyone could enjoy a satisfying meal.One of the highlights of my dining experience was the wide selection of sauces available to accompany the dishes. Ranging from mild to spicy, these sauces added an extra layer of depth and complexity to the already delicious food. Whether you prefer a tangy salsa verde or a fiery habanero sauce, there was a sauce to suit every taste preference.While I thoroughly enjoyed the food at Tacoria , I must mention that the music was quite loud during my visit, making it difficult to carry on conversations with dining companions. Additionally, finding seating could be a bit challenging during peak hours, but the friendly staff did their best to accommodate guests in a timely manner.Despite these minor drawbacks, my overall experience was fantastic. The exceptional food, diverse menu options, and welcoming atmosphere more than made up for any inconveniences. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return for another flavorful dining adventure.In conclusion, I highly recommend Tacoria to anyone in search of delicious Mexican fast food with plenty of gluten-free and vegan options. Whether you're craving a hearty burrito, flavorful tacos, or mouthwatering sauces, you're sure to find something to love at this hidden gem.Bon appétit!Mohit DasaurVegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and Vegan options available.“

“We've been waiting for this place to open for a while because we haven't found good Mexican in the area. We just tried this place for the first time today and we'll definitely be coming back! Ordered the quesa birria tacos, el pastor tacos, chicken enchiladas, chicken quesadillas, and rice and beans. Everything was really full of flavor! So excited they are opened!“

“I had to pick up a package at the UPS Customer Service center across the street (which this UPS's posted hours are different than on the UPS website and they didn't open for another hour) so I grabbed lunch here while waiting. The restaurant looks new and VERY clean with a spacious seating area. An employee took the time to explain to me what they serve and I ordered a Burrito Bowl ($12). The portion was HUGE and I was happy that I could custom order it as I like (mixing in both types of rice, mixed beans and mixed protein and lots of toppings to choose from). All the ingredients were fresh (including the lettuce and guac), tasty and nicely seasoned. The chicken was tender chunks and not grisly or chewy. I really enjoyed the bowl; it tasted like it was homemade and I had enough leftover to save for later. I'm not a fan of Chip-NO-tle and wasn't sure how this would be, but I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back when I'm in the area again.“

“My wife and I have dined in and taken out. Both times the food and service was incredible. When we dined in the staff were kind enough to give us an appetizer on the house (mexitotz are highly recommended). Definitely not just a taco spot, their entrees are also excellent!“

“Very cozy and comfortable atmosphere. It was unanimous by all 4 in my party that the guacamole tasted like egg salad! However, the waitress stated there wasn't egg in it. Otherwise, the California burritos, enchiladas and tacos were all good portion, tasty and reasonably priced. The service was very accommodating and friendly. I would return when in the area again!“

“I have ordered a chicken cutlet sub from Sam’s three times in the last two weeks! Their food is SO FRESH and delicious. I’ve also had their chicken empanadas and pulled pork. Everything is really flavorful and the customer service is on point!“

“Grabbed lunch from here today and enjoyed my food. First, the restaurant is cash only but there's a nearby ATM if you need to use it. I ordered one of the specials that used skirt steak (sorry, my Spanish is pretty much nonexistent so I forget the exact name) and it was prepared in ~10 minutes or so. I could tell it was fresh, so no complaints there! I took my food to go, and I have to admit that it was pretty challenging to cut up my steak with the provided plastic knife and fork. Granted, I'm not really sure what the solution is - it's not like they're going to give out a quality knife and fork for a take-out order. The steak was definitely tasty and tender for skirt steak, and the sides (rice, black beans, and pasta salad with a jalapeño on top) were all high quality as well. Finally, they offered some side tortillas which were decent but didn't blow me away. The whole meal was only $10, which is extremely reasonable for Princeton. Overall, I was really happy with my experience at Chapin. All of the food was good (with the exception of the side tortillas, which were only decent). I do think that the restaurant could offer a little more information on the ingredients of the specials (I had to use Google!), but I guess I could have just asked the reasonably friendly staff and he would have answered my questions :) But it's nice to just be able to read it off a menu. Anyway, I can definitely see myself coming back!“

“Beef Tacos are great. The food was total meh. I had a Patron which gives a good idea of the overall. The black beans are tasty but Goya makes them just as good out of the can. The chile relleno… meh. The enchiladas were too spicy to enjoy, the tamal was sub- par. That was the biggest disappointment. Flan is best I’ve had and I’m a flan MAVEN. The menu isn’t worth the trip the flan is. That’s why the 4 stars. Flan.“

“Come here for lunch while working nearby. Best burritos in the area. Beats out Chipotle by the same leap US took on the moon. Baby sized burritos filled to the brim. As weezy said in 6 foot 7 foot "Burritos, so big I'm starting to feel contractions"“

“Found a great spot ! Delicious delicious delicious. It was expensive but worth it. Look at all that food, we took the Crazy Nachos home of course. Amazing food. Great food. Will be back !!Vegetarian options: Almost everything can be turned into a vegetarian meal.Parking: Parking on the street and there’s the huge Plainsboro plaza that’s across the streetKid-friendliness: Kids menu for the kids. Dessert for the kids. My daughters got the fried Oreos and they LOVED IT“

“Great atmosphere, place is cozy you can sit down and eat or have a conversation with one of the employees. I don’t want to butcher homies name but he seriously was on his game. The food is delish as always, and he even cooked the steak for me fresh which is great, come grab a bite you won’t regret it place slaps?????“
