50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Hiawatha

“muy amables y la comida es % mexicana amigos paisanos bayan acomer a cenar yeben a su chikita o la familia la comida está deliciosa“

“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!“

“If your looking for a good meal at a good price, try Sombrero Tacoria Livingston. A nice Mexican restaurant with quality food. My daughter suggested we try the spot and it did not disappoint. The store is clean, food is fresh, and the staff is friendly. If you are looking for change from hamburgers and pizza give the spot a try and I guarantee you will be back for more.“

“Flavorful food here, especially their sauces! We had been looking in the area for a good Mexican spot and this is the place. Another star for being walking distance from the rock climbing gym right next door. So great for a good rock climbing sesh and great Mexican food after! Our waiters Yahir and Marilin were especially amazing! Great service and the food came out quick and hot. The horchata was especially good!“

“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!“

They’re incredible! Not only is their food delicious but they’re so kind and willing to work with my allergy to soy. I had Mexican family so I’m a pretty harsh critic to Mexican food but I absolutely enjoyed it here.“

“This ia great value. My gf and I get breakfast for under $15 and dinner under $20 and we are full and satisfied. One of the few places in Morristown where I can get great eats with a few bucks in my pocket. Every item we ate has been great. We even go back when we want to save money but have something tasty.“

“Stopped here on a Friday night driving back from Philly to MA, such a warm and lovely place. Delicious food - two of us had tacos and the third had a spicy beef. The rice side dish was really flavorful. It was late and we were the only ones there but the space was super welcoming and the server was so kind and helpful. Trying to route future trips to Philly via Parsippany NJ :-)“

“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!!“

“yep good food ill come back for sure“

“We were originally a bit concerned as we were told we had a waiter in training, but he was excellent. Mole chicken enchiladas had a great flavor but way too much sauce. We tried a different guac than usual and it was excellent as well. The place was a bit noisy with a number of kids.“

“Carlos Mexican Kitchen in Little Falls is hands down the best Mexican restaurant around — no contest. From the moment the food hits the table, you know everything is made fresh, authentic, and with serious care. The dishes are bursting with flavor and come in generous portions, so you never leave hungry.

The salsa dips alone are worth the visit— bold, vibrant, and completely addictive. And the corn quesadilla is to die for. Perfectly prepared, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you find yourself craving again the next day.

What makes this place truly special is how the food transports you straight to a local home in the heart of Mexico. It’s warm, authentic, and full of soul. Nothing feels commercial or rushed — just real Mexican cooking done right.

Also a huge plus: there are several great vegetarian options, which are just as thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

If you love authentic Mexican food, incredible salsa, and meals that feel homemade in the best possible way, Carlos Mexican Kitchen is an absolute must.“

“Love coming here whenever I need something quick and filling. I usually go for the burrito box with chips and it always hits the spot. The friendly atmosphere behind the counter always keeps me coming back though. A greeting from Will behind the counter is like meeting a town celebrity. He knows every face that walks through that door, it’s pretty entertaining to watch.“

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!“
