50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Jamesburg

“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.“

“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!“

“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 🤤“

“The tacos are amazing. Better than what I had at the Marriott in Cancun. The guacamole is fresh and flavorful, and the tres leches cake is perfectly moist and not too sweet. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size.

I was buy to eat so I did not take photos. Luckily there are many photos here already.“

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

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“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!“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“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.“

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

“Recommend: tilapia tacos*, salsa verde, campenchanosGood: tamales, barbacoa tacosOk: chicken flautas, arabes tacos, lengua (tongue) tacos, tripa tacos*Probably would have been a 3 star rating if we didn't like the tilapia tacos so much. They were definitely the favorite. The fish was tender and nicely seasoned.The seasoning and cook on other things were a little hit or miss. Barbacoa had great taste but too salty, arabes were dry, lengua was disappointingly dry and bland. The salsa verde was used liberally to save many of the tacos.The flautas were nice and crispy but the chicken inside was dry.The tripe had some crunchy bits that some people might like but I found them tough.The campenchanos in the flour tortilla were also a bit salty but I liked how soft the tortilla was.The tamales had nice texture, but the cheese stick inside was strange for me.“

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“We had a staff party at my company and decided to cater from bubbakoos. Best decision I ever made. The service was outstanding. We had everything we needed and much more. The food was plenty and absolutely delicious. You can tell that they truly care about service, quality, freshness and taste. Absolutely a 5 star experience. If you need catering for any party don’t hesitate to give them a call.“

“had dinner with friends tonight. the service and atmosphere were outstanding and the food was excellent. Oh and the tamales are the best. I'll be going back well done Carlos and staff.“

“Everything was Great haven’t had Tacos that Good ever“

“Great experience. Tried to place my order, but was basically told what to get. I wanted an empinada one way, the lady told me the right way. Empinada was great. Burrito was HUGE and tasty, two meals. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious. We ordered chicken tacos, el pastor tacos and birria tacos and all were amazing. The consome for the birria was full of flavor. I also enjoyed a delicious horchata which was not overly sweet, it was just right. I cant wait to come back and explore the menu some more.“

“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 IT I BEEN THERE TWICE AND WE DON'T SPEAK SPANISH BUT WE WERE HELP AND THE WAITRESS REMEMBER US FROM THE LAST TIME. THE SHRIMP IS TO DIE FOR. WILL BE BACK“

“The best Mexican food and service!!!“

“I read through some of the comments and they were about MY grandma, the owner of the restaurant. Someone said that she was a he. And another said she was from somewhere she was not from! She is from MEXICO. People just make me mad sometimes when do stuff like that. If you do not know the gender of someone you don't even know just say 'they' that easy. But after all great food.“

“Had a great time here . Food was very good. Enjoyed the atmosphere and comfort.,waiters were pleasant and friendly and quick.“

“Food was amazing! Restaurant is beautifully decorated. Bryan our server was very helpful and attentive. Took his time to serve us and explain any questions we had about food or drink! Thank you . We really enjoyed celebrating our daughter birthday here“

“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“

“La comida deliciosa 👌 era cliente frecuente de este lugar pero el pésimo servicio de atención al cliente por parte una mesera eh decidido no volver. ( Me atendió de muy mala gana y yo amablemente le pedí algo a lo que ella respondió indirectamente de manera grosera).“

“Was there for the first time tonight and plan to be back again soon. The place is fantastic. First off, Dave (I am assuming the owner) and Danny our server, were super gracious and inviting and offered some great suggestions. I had the birria tacos which were great. We were a part of 4 and everybody loved their meals. My wife is a vegetarian and there were plenty of options for her. The guacamole was perfect. Street corn appetizer was fantastic. I highly recommend! Best Mexican food in East Brunswick.“

“Their flavor is very good, they have a great Mexican flavor and their food options are varied. An excellent place to eat Mexican food.

Wheelchair accessibility: As it does not have steps, it is an excellent option for people who use wheelchairs since access is very easy and the staff is very friendly.“

“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!“

“Late night, this place served me despite that another down the street would not because I could not speak Spanish. I was just hungry. I came here, ordered tamales 🫔 & all I can say is " Estos tamales son muy deliciosos!!" Great hospitality, I felt very welcome & loved ❤️“

“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“

“Seemed like they only spoke Spanish, but Idk. Prices were fair, portion size was just right, food was fantastic. Served chips with salsa verde. The salsa was spicy in the best way. I got pollo el chipotle. It was perfect. Also got pupusas. Definitely authentic food made very well. So far my favorite Mexican place in New Jersey.“

“Tacos tripa and carnitas were really delicious; tender tripa and tasty carnitas with just the right crunch. Pollo de Mole Oaxaqueno was fantastic. The chicken was super moist and tender and some of the best mole sauce I have ever had. Highly recommended- I will definitely be back!“

“This is a very small place to eat and I usually order to pick up. What I can say is the food it’s authentic Mexican , so tasty and delicious , I’m not a big fan of spicy foods but this place use enough condiments on their meats , they use jalapeños but if you don’t want them, request not to put them on your food…overall food it’s delicious highly recommend“

“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.“

“We went in our Sun afternoon and here was no wait. The food was ready quickly and everything tasted delicious. The green salsa is delicious and would buy it by the bucket if I could😁. My table tried the birria, tamale, empanada, burrito, and more. Everything was great and I will return.“

“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.“

“las meseras super atentas la comida muy buena y todo se mantiene limpio ❤“

“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.“

“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.“
