50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Hiawatha

“I've been in LH for a year and just got take out this evening. My burrito was so tasty! The chips and salsa were amazing. I will be back soon!“

“We ordered the chicken tacos, chicken nachos and a beef burrito. The food was very good and done at the time we requested (we placed a special request to get it done right away - bad planning on our part - thanks for helping). in addition, we received our food the exact way we requested it and nothing was missing. My only minor complaint is that the burrito is smaller than some places but it was well worth $10, which is a fair price. Everything else was priced fairly as well with large quantities and in most instances cheaper than other places The chicken tacos and nachos was a large, very tasty serving. The person who took our order was very friendly. Two requests - please add churros (your competitors have) & fix online ordering :) we look forward to returning!“

“As a Californian am on the constant look out for excellent Mexican food. I found the place! The food is authentic, delicious and consistently good!

Zee the Manager is a gem, friendly and provides the BEST customer service.

Their specialty are the birria tacos—you won’t be disappointed. Its a large serving and you’ll lick your fingers throughout.

I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. Clean, excellent service and delicious food.“

“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. We had the tacos, regular bowl with carnitas and fajita bowl with steak and pina-mango drink. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Will come back to try El Pastor. Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.“

“Food is delicious, my favorite are the Tacos Al Pastor they really taste like authentic Mexican tacos! All staff is super friendly!“

“Very happy to see this place continue to flourish after changing locations, and to see the same faces, too. The kids that work the register/answer the phone are always very friendly and polite, which is hard to come by these days.

As far as the food goes, I could blindfold myself and point to something random on the menu and still be blown away. Besides the typical crowd pleasers, do not sleep on the tortas, tostadas, or serrano salsa.

Seems to still be a local spot that has not been gentrified by 27 year olds that moved out of Hoboken and the city. I would go to war for Macho Nacho!“

“We had an amazing dining experience at the Tortas Lokas.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
Staff were outstanding—attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu.

We travel all USA from east to west and order Birria tacos every place I visit, these tacos were packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly satisfying.

The Torta Chilanga just as impressive—filled with juicy, well-seasoned ingredients.

Everything was delicious and clearly made with quality ingredients.

If you're looking for great Mexican food this is the place to go! I highly recommend it and will definitely be back if I find myself back in NJ.“

“🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 Recommend you all to stop by and eat their Jus’antastic tacos“

“Great family restaurant and member of the business community in Wayne.“

“Amazing authentic Mexican food. I recommend the quesadilla with Carnitas. It’s made with a traditional corn tortilla and and is out of this world. Not much seating inside. Really only meant for takeout, but I promise you you won’t be disappointed. Staff is very friendly.“

“The food was absolutely amazing and the owners extremely friendly. This place is a diamond in the rough for sure! Value is beyond reasonable as a matter of fact I've payed twice as much in other places and received much less! We will be back!!“

“I didn’t know what authentic Mexican food was until I came here. This is hands down the most delicious Mexican food I have ever tried. Carlos, the son of the chef, provided outstanding service and was extremely professional as a server. I love this restaurant!“

“The people at Cocina de Maria were very nice to me. I had wanted the chorizo and cheese dip but they didn't have an ingredient so they offered a beans substitute instead. I still enjoyed it but couldn't finish my food because it was so much and I had a long drive.

The tacos were great and the food felt very authentic Mexican. I don't lice close to the area but I was very happy with their hospitality and food.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't say enough good things about Riviera Maya Mexican in Rockaway! This place has quickly become a favorite stop for me and my fellow soldiers during our drill weekends. The food is consistently fresh and absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options that never disappoint.

The service is always fast and friendly, making us feel right at home every time we visit. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure we have a great experience, which is truly appreciated, especially when we come in with a group of about a dozen.

If you're looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Riviera Maya Mexican. Highly recommend!“

“I love the food, everything is so delicious 😋 I recommend a lot, great service and cozy atmosphere 💜“

“Always good! My go to take out spot whether it be tacos, salads, burritos and more! My fave are the tostones and yucca fries!!! The point of the not so seasoned meat is to enjoy the made from scratch sauces on your food. It’s all in the sauces!“

“Great food, great workers, amazing portion sizes.“

“I love their food, everything is always fresh never old and taste so delicious!! I highly recommend this place ! I give them 20 ☆'s !!!“

“The best moes Best place“

“We got the chicken quesadilla and tamales, they were fresh, hot and delicious. The decor is fun too! It's a great casual spot for Mexican dishes, definitely recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly place, even have a kids menu.“

“It's a Great looking restaurant that provides indoor and outdoor seating. We have been doing our rounds in Morristown all summer, and this place made the list. The food was really fresh and tasty. Wish they had iced tea, but the bottled water was sufficient. The bbq nachos were very good and different than what you get from most places. My one suggestion is having a physical menu for your location. It's hard to have a no phone rule when you have to use it for the menu. Also, the landing page provides too many options. Too much work. I am old school and like a physical menu. Won't hold back that 5 star based on my menu preference, but hopefully, they will consider. I will go back again to try some more of their menu.“

“Excellent service clean restaurant fresh ingredients employees are amazing staff and the most important part loveeeee the welcoming we received from all employees this restaurant deserve 100 stars moes Florham park recommended 100%“

“Great atmosphere, but the food is meh. I think it's too Americanized, with no real depth of flavor or spice. The variety of salsas available for self-service was good, but no kick in any of them, not even in the habanero.

The vibe and music were very good. If you go here more to hang out with friends, it's enjoyable, but not if you are look for a good meal.“

“yep good food ill come back for sure“

“toda la comida está deliciosa,es muy limpia la especialidad sus tacos😍. México vive en la chalupa ❤“

“All made fresh! Delicious“

“Honestly one of the best carnita burritos I’ve had and definitely the BEST molè ever! Nachos were great. We did DoorDash and the food was as if we were eating at the restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“WOW! IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 10 STARS I WOULD! this plaza has amazing food and I noticed this new storefront. when I walked in, I was surprised by how nice it looked on the inside. And then I saw the menu. This place is like Chipotle on turbo. I got the steak and shrimp, only $12 and the girl behind the counter had great suggestions on how to best top it. I left extremely satisfied with the food, but also the pleasant service and hip atmosphere. I will definitely be back soon. thank you!!!“

“We love this place! Started coming at the beginning of COVID, they have outside seating, BYOB and are dog friendly. Food is great!“

“If you're looking for a place to hang out, have a beer or two...good fresh food, then this is your place. I had an appetizer which I found very good, specially with the house hot sauce. The girl waiting our table was nice and was always asking if we were good or in need of anything else. The bar attached to the restaurant had music playing but it was thankfully not too loud on the restaurant side so we could still talk at the table. Only thing I found awful was the fact that this was a cash only place, and it wasn't noted on the menu?. I would come back as I saw the dishes coming out and it all smelled and looked good“

“Friendly staff, great conversations, food had great flavor. food cooked fresh, was nice and hot when it came out.“

“Love the tortas & tacos! A+“
