50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lincoln Park

“Just got back from a business trip in Europe, which explains why I haven’t been to Bubakoos. Honestly, I was missing it more than I’d care to admit… So, when I finally swung by again, I was kinda hyped only to get hit with a letdown. The first visit was meh, and the next couple times? Still not it. The staff looked like they were still figuring out which end of the burrito is up. But then, today—boom. I walk in and there’s Jeffrey, holding it down behind the counter like some sort of burrito wizard. Seriously, shoutout to this guy. My bowl? Absolute fire. Fresh as hell and you could just tell someone actually cared making it. That’s what I expect from Bubakoos, you know? All the pieces, base, meat, toppings, just on point. Plus, the dude’s quick, nails it every time, super chill, and actually acts like he wants you there. I really hope I see more of Jeffrey (or at least someone who gets it like he does) because that’s the kind of vibe that keeps me coming back.

+1 for the joke he made: “Why should you never share a secret with a burrito?” “Because they tend to spill the beans.”“

“A great new addition to the Livingston Circle. Everything that I have tried off the menu was fantastic. Especially the quesadillas, fries and the dessert options. They even have a mobile app for ordering and rewards. Highly recommended if you love great Mexican food.“

“Friendly staff, dining area is very cozy and homey. Probably the most authentic Mexican food in the area (super flavorful). The tacos al pastor [with everything] are probably the best taco ive ever had. I havent found a better taco yet. Pricing is very fair for the serving they give you. Overall 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Amazing food !!! Highly recommended… Fast delivery service“

“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.“

“This was my second time dining at La Bamba Grill and I must say that this place is one of the coolest restaurants I have visited.
It’s very obvious how much love goes into every dish before it is delivered to your table and once you take your first bite you will be a believer.
The service on this occasion was a 10/10 and all the credit goes to Yuri who was our server and Leydi who assisted. These 2 young ladies are some of the most authentic people I have encountered. You can tell how much they love what they do and that is a testament to the owners because they have to be treating their employees very well for them to be smiling like they do.
Lastly the decor is one of a kind. You can tell a lot of thought went into the layout and the design of this place.“

“First time checking out Tortas Lokas in Fairfield and my husband and I are both happy to have found this spot! The Tortas and Flan were amazing. A big thank you to our server Marilin and chef Pancho for making this a great experience. We will definitely be back 🙏🏽“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“I really like this place, especially the juice; it's delicious.“

“I have eaten here multiple times and have always received delicious meals from this establishment. It’s so flavorful that it makes you stop and enjoy it fully to appreciate every bite. They also have traditional Mexican candy there that are worth the try! Will continue to be a repeated, happy customer :)“

“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!!“

“Great authentic Mexican restaurant. My favorite is the shrimp à la Mexicans with rice and refried beans. Shrimp are usually a nice size and seem to be fresh. Love that the sauce is freshly made. My family usually orders the chicken quesadilla, shrimp or pork burrito, tamales de carnitas just to list a few. This is truly a weekly go to spot for us.“

“Food was amazing!! Mango and Passion Fruit homemade drinks are amazing.. Street Tacos were perfect. Try the Guacamole you will not be disappointed. Big Burrito was really big and flavorful. First place we stopped when we got off the plane.. Definitely a must stop. I’m a certified foodie!!!“

“Went to eat lunch with my mom. The server Ethan was great did a great job had a great smile I’ll def be back“

“From the moment we walked in, the service at Dulce Patria was incredible. We were warmly welcomed right away, and the ambience is absolutely beautiful with plenty of great spots for photos. Our server, Natasha, was amazing and took the time to explain all their promotions, including a great happy hour menu. We tried the Tussi Roll, Dominican Power, and Cuban Tempora sushi rolls. Each one was full of flavor, and I was honestly impressed by how good they were. My friend ordered the Bad Bunny drink and the Beso de Coco. She enjoyed both, but the coconut one was her favorite and she definitely recommends it for coconut lovers. Parking isn’t the greatest in the area, but this place is absolutely worth the effort to find a spot. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back with more friends.“

“Authentic Mexican cuisine. Great ambience with how they decorated the restaurant. They also have a large patio with tables in the back. I usually get the steak taco platter and my wife gets the fish in like a white sauce with rice and salad. Outstanding flavors.

“Oso Felipe is an unassuming looking building, but is so nice inside. We went on a chilly night and it was cozy and welcoming. We sat at the bar, had a drink and some delicious, fresh guacamole and perfectly salted chips. The bartenders were friendly, service was great and the menu was very appealing. We had salmon with mole and pork chops served with a pickled cherry sauce for dinner. All was fresh and delicious! We will definitely go back to try more of the menu.“
