19 Best Mexican Restaurants near Hopewell

“Best shrimp enchiladas around. Guacamole was also very smooth and tasty. Flan was a perfect finisher. This place is in the middle of small town Hopewell so parking is on the street. Owner was on site preparing and serving and smiling. Seating was comfortable but on this chilly winter day with the side door opening regularly it was a bit chilly inside. Thankfully the hot seasoning (you can order your sauce mild medium or hot)was just right to keep my insides warm. Serving size was large enough to bring half home. Price was right. Definately a place to return to.“

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience eating at the Mexican Mariachi Grill located in Hamilton Township. We enjoyed having the best Mexican food in the area under a pleasant atmosphere, affordable prices and excellent service. By the way, we also tried the one located at TCNJ Campus in Ewing, and the results were gratifying.“

“This is my to go Mexican place, they never disappoint very clean, consistent, and generous place. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. I always come here for takeout. First time dinning and their food presentation did not disappoint! Loved my smoking carne asada! My favorite desert is tres leches and they make a very delicious one here. I highly recommend this place!“

“Our first time trying this restaurant. Super friendly owner and super clean establishment. Authentic Mexican food.We both ordered La Unica Bowl with cochinita pulled pork. The food itself was extremely fresh and well prepared. However, the pulled pork was EXTREMELY salty. Burn your mouth kind of salty . It was so salty, it affected the enjoyment of the meal. Perhaps this was a mistake. We are willing to try again, but if this amount of salt is the norm, we will not be returning ?“

“My go to place! Elijah at the Princeton Market fair location by the AMC Movie Theater is fantastic! He knows and remembers me, my usual order and makes it right. Hope your give him a raise!Vegetarian options: Am vegan, not vegetarian but you can order vegan and vegetarian easy!“

“6 years ago when they opened this place was good. now they don't give you any meat and charge you twice as much. i don't know if it is the same owner but I would be surprised if it is. just lots of rice in a burrito. barely any meat. cost way too much for what it you get.“

“I guess we didn't realize the seating section was so small. You're right there where the grocery is. It's take-out place with about 5 or 6 tables (beautiful area). We also didn't realize there was no wait staff. So, I became the server. No big deal, but, I would have preferred knowing we weren't being served. The food was delicious, authentic and made right there. The other thing I searched for on the website.....BYOB.“

“Tasty, a tad pricey for what you get, a little loud to dine in (like... kind of strange lol), all fresh, tinkering on the edge of authentic. Anything you get is going to be good. Everyone in my orbit LOOOOOVES the brussels sprouts tacos/burritos. IMHO, you can't go wrong w a burrito. That fat little sucker rivals the weight of a newborn baby. lol“

“Great food and service. This is our second time here and it did not disappoint. One of the best mexican places we have tried in the area. It is BYOB. The portions are a good size and very tasty. Can't wait to go back in the near future. If you are in the Flemington area this is small must try place....“

“My husband and I are big Mexican foodies, we both found the food Delicious and Appealling. We sat in their outdoor seating area, which is adorable and clean. The host and waitress were Beyond thoughtful, always saying excuse me, checking on drink needs consistently, made sure I had my extra salsa, the food was Delicious and they were so kind and friendly - always smiling "its so beautiful out today!" And "hope you have a nice day!". I returned alone for lunch afew days later, sat indoors (cute decor and clean tables), ordered the same item and got a single portion this time, still Delicious! Different server (no host) and he was Just as obliging! I Will 100% return to this restaurant when in town again. Highly reccomend. I'd stay selfish and say "no one go, so I can enjoy a quiet, easily accessible favorite" but I'd LOVE to see them popular and in demand!​“

“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!“

“My first time here and I was impressed. The food was very good! My friend had a quesadilla, and I had three tacos with rice and beans. Service was prompt and pleasant. Interior was casual but cute, and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!“

“Today my wife, a few friends and myself went to Mr Cactus Mexican Grill for lunch. My wife had The chimichanga and I had the quesadilla. The service was great and the food was very good. Very nice atmosphere and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“El Jalapeno in Hamilton is your go-to spot for fantastic Latin American cuisine! They generously offer complimentary chips and salsa as an appetizer, which is a delightful bonus not commonly found elsewhere. Their beef empanadas boast freshness and flavor, while the maduros offer a delightful contrast of crunchiness on the outside and softness on the inside. The chicken fajitas and chicken with rice and beans are bursting with flavor. Adding to the dining experience, their uniquely crafted dining chairs, adorned with handmade carvings, transport you to a tropical paradise. The staff are incredibly friendly, nice, and welcoming, enhancing the overall ambiance. What's more, they provide ample portions, giving you more food for your money. With their extremely reasonable prices, dining here truly feels like a five-star experience.“

“I’ve been to this location a couple of times (I live roughly 1 hour away so can only come in when I have a work appointment in the area.) This location, without a doubt, has the best food of any Moes I’ve ever had. Thank you to the staff for making sure that the food quality is top tier!“

“Traditional Mexican food. Free chips and salsa while dining in. Prices are a bit high. The quality of cooking has improved from when they originally opened. There isn't really table service here but they do carry your order out from the kitchen after you order. Outside seating available weather permitting. Good variety of items available on the menu.Parking: 5 cars fit in the lot.“

“I was completely blown away with the taste of the food… it was quite hard to find, but once I flagged down and asked a young lady where this place was she directed me and said “you picked a great choice they have great food!” After taking the first bite I was sold, it was truly amazing! It is truly a delicious taste of Mexico!“

“"taco bell isn't real Mexican food." is an argument that falls on deaf ears.. No one is making that claim. Taco Bell is unapologetically Taco Bell; delicious American fast-food open until 3am.baja blast, no ice.Vegetarian options: basically every menu item can have beans or rice used as a substitute for meat or can be ordered without meat since most items are made up of multiple ingredients.“
