38 Best Mexican Restaurants in Jersey City

“Amazing Margaritas! Great staff and food. A MUST in Jersey07302!“

“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.“

“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“

“Left Cheesecake Factory to come here and it did NOT disappoint. Our server, Malachi, was the absolute best! I’ve never gone out of my way to write a good review for a server before, but he truly earned it. He deserves a raise and the coworker helping him does too!

The food was great, and the service was exceptional. Thank you for making our night so much better. Definitely coming back“

“Awsome fresh food. Great central sandwich. Great music“

“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!“

“Very outgoing, the environment and staff are friendly and welcoming. Thanks“

“Really great restaurant it just seems they always forget an item on uber eats. I visit Jersey city regularly and love eating at guac time but it’s literally Russian roulette with what they will forget lol. Last 3 times I ordered every time an item was forgotten.
Hope it does better with this!!!“

“The most delicious Mexican food I have eaten in New Jersey, the place is decorated in a divine way that makes you think of being a little in Latin America, the service is very good, the food is truly excellent, what a delight!!!

Vegetarian options: Veggie burrito, vegetarian tacos and vegetarian nachos.“

“I was on a mini hunt for Birria Ramen and let’s just say this little spot is now my go to! My daughter loved her food as well. The food is fresh, and seasoned perfectly! The guacamole and chips were also good! The staff was friendly and attentive!“

“This place thrives mainly on takeout but has a fully functional and pleasant dining space. The food here is very good with a large variety of options. I had tacos as appetizers, and fajitas as main course - all were delicious. Whatever my friends ordered was also very good. Service was good and attentive. The place is BYOB so that makes things convenient too. It's never crowded, so it's a nice quiet place to dine in. Would definitely go there and try out the rest of the menu.“

“I love tacoria SO much. the food has been there for me in my darkest hour and it’s always so wonderful 🫶 plus they’re so great about allergies which is huge for me!!! one of my ultimate comfort foods and i order pretty much every week.

my go to order is the steak box and brussels sprouts 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and loveeeee that they have a vegan aioli!!!!“

“We ordered from Tacos Victoria for the first time today and were very impressed. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants around and I am not even that crazy about Mexican food but Tacos Victoria's food was fantastic! Very delicious and flavorful. We ordered a spicy chicken burrito and cheese enchilada.“

“Amazing amazing amazing!! The authentic Mexican food from this local joint managed to impress us.. we tried the veggie burrito, cheese flautas and mushroom huraches.. each dish was better than the other. The sauces and compliments were yummy. This joint is mostly for take out because there was not much place to sit inside. We are definitely visiting again!

Vegetarian options: Mushroom, cheese or veggie options available under most categories except tacos.“

“Really delicious food including plenty of vegetarian options. We were staying around the corner and were looking for somewhere to eat late on a Sunday night. Friendly, helpful service and reasonably priced menu. This place is an absolute winner. Thanks for feeding us so well.“

“Delicious! All I’ve ordered has been super delicious. Thumbs up!“

“I have eaten Qdoba at several different locations over the years. I went to the Qdoba located on West Side Avenue near New Jersey City University. To say I was happy with my food and service is an understatement. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND COOKED TO PERFECTION.i ordered a cheese and a steak burrito with chips. Excellent service by the employees, and the store was so so so so clean. I AM very happy I made this choice today. Thank you to qdoba and continue the excellent service and quality.“

“Simply awesome! Very festive atmosphere.“

“My daughter and I came across this place. Although it took a while to find inside the mall the food was amazing. It was a little food kiosk located on the 1st floor at Newport mall. It's a little pricey but worth every buck! Our tounges were definitely satisfied ? if your at the mall and want a light bite this is a place to stop by!!! You won't regret it ?“

“I can’t believe I just discovered this restaurant! Best tostados I’ve ever had - I’ve quickly become addicted to them. The staff are really friendly and the service is great. The restaurant has a chill vibe and a large TV for entertainment while eating. A+!“

“Good food and friendly service.“

“Located in the bustling center of Jersey Heights, this spot has some prime Mexican food!

We ordered a couple of the burrito options (chorizo & steak). The burrito meals contain 2 burritos, but we were not prepared for 2 full size burritos…and at $15 per order it is a great deal.

The burritos were spot on, I loved my chorizo burrito. Was fairly greasy so you know it is legit. The chips and salsa were just average, the chips were pretty thin and not like Taqueria Downtown’s.

Would definitely recommend for a lunch or dinner option.“

“Such a great mom and pop restuarant that has both delicious Salvadorian and Mexican food. Went here with friends and we each tried a mix of their pupusas, they took a bit to come out but they were clearly made fresh and well worth the wait. We also had their tacos and guacamole, so flavorful and filling. Our server was attentive and very kind. Great reasonable prices for the high quality. Limited indoor seating but can take it to go. Will definitely be returning“

“Always great Authentic Salvadorian food . Lovely owners/ staff“

“Food was delicious. Service was very friendly“

“Came here for lunch with my friends and was pleasantly surprised. Staff is super friendly. Small mom and pop shop pumping out amazing food. I got a torta and it was amazing. Soft bread and packed. It was a bit messy to eat but there was a lot in them. Salsa options were great as well. Green was my favorite. Great value. Will definitely come back to try more items.“

“Love this place! They have some of the best food in jersey city. Every time i call or come in they know who i am, and are always very nice. And what i like the most about them is that they have great Mexican food and great chinese food, so i always have alot of different choices to choose from lol...“

“deliciosa comida.... excelente atención 👌“

“I don't say this about many places, but the fried chicken here is really good. Nice crispy exterior with a juicy interior. There are also so many menu options to choose from. Not to mention the buy 1 get one deal you can get if you order online. The customer service is also excellent. I can here so often we're on a first name basis.“

“Really good food, made by really good people.
Tbh, I was surprised that I discovered this place so late, I've been living in the city for 5+ years now. But I'm really glad I found it. 💛
This is a perfect place for those lazy afternoons when you don't wanna cook, yet eat good food. You can eat as many tacos you want, and they all will be fresh and taste really authentic.“

“LOVE THIS PLACE! I would love to eat here more but it's soooo popular it can be hard getting a table. Really good margaritas. Also great for catering when feeding a film crew! I have had some happy workmates recently after a Downtown Taqueria spread!“

“Simply awesome! Very festive atmosphere.“

“Dans votre pub où il est question de gondolas.. Je ne comprends pas que vous vous moquiez vous même De votre propre menu....C’est presque de l’intimidation... Pas fort comme publicité... Ce n’est pas très invitant d’aller chez vous.... Rita Fortin“

“I've been eating here for years... The BEST mole enchiladas and breakfast burrito in the area. I've done lots of tests and keep coming back here. Their mole is made in house by an auntie (part of the family). It has incredible flavor - I get the cheese enchilada (it's Mexican so grilled not gooey). Their rice and beans are super flavorful. I honestly rate Mexican places based on how good their rice and beans are (like if you can't do the basics, then ...). And then their breakfast burritos. Perfect blend of egg, potato, cheese, onion/peppers, and spices. It's a reasonable size so you can enjoy it without being in a food coma. I love the family atmosphere here - truly a mom and pop. Only recently have I started dining in - and wow, the food is even better! This place has amazing food. Skip the burritos and go for the mole enchiladas. With the exception of their breakfast burritos - don't forget to try those too (offered all day). I always forget to take photos....“
