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.”“

“Very delicious food. Stopped by in the evening looking for a quick bite. I ordered the shrimp tacos and the al pastor which are my two favorite types of tacos. Both tasted really great, however the al pastor had a much better flavor overall.
I also tried the chips and salsa. Chips tasted like they are fried in house (in a good way) I didn't love the salsa too much. The texture and flavor was a little off for me. Maybe there are beans blended in? Not worth docking a star for this because overall I really enjoyed my meal and will be back again.
Atmosphere is very nice as well. The decor is welcoming and the staff was really friendly as well.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Great place to eat . I love the food and atmospheres.. Go for the chicken chimichangas!!!“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch snd had enough leftover for dinner too. Great food and great staff Than you“

“amazing food and service couldn't ask for a better place for a quick and easy dinner“

“I’m not a big review guy but this place is one of those exceptions because of how FANTASTIC the food here is. I don’t eat out much and prefer eating healthier at home because eating out makes me feel bad BUT THIS PLACE NEVER makes me feel like poop. A+++++++ “

“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.“

“Fandango’s street tacos are awesome. We took a tray of these to a New Year’s Eve party in Glen Ridge and they were a big hit!“

“Awesome atmosphere. I come here every week for consistently great food. Nice workers. Maria is very kind and cares deeply about your Bubbakoo’s experience. Carnitas are out of this world and the store is always so clean. Highly recommend.“

“Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had! Steak burrito is excellent and shrimp tacos are AMAZING! My husband and I prefer the truck food over the physical restaurant location, the food seems more flavorful. The prices are great and the service is very friendly.“

“Great food and Margaritas always! A cute and cozy interior with Mexican vibes. The staff is very friendly! Outdoor dining too if you want. 👍🏼😎🍹🥑“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best spot for Mexican food!“

“My initial review was 5 stars, and while the food is still delicious with great flavor, their portions have decreased. Their loaded nachos were the best, use to fill the container to the top. Now, it’s half the portion with barely any ground beef. Their Tacos Dorados platter with rice and beans only comes with 3 tacos, not 5 tacos as depicted in the menu’s photo, which is a bit misleading. I really love their food though, I guess my only complaint is I’m not getting enough of it 🥹 I understand the current inflation requires our favorite restaurants to increase prices, I hope they don’t ever compromise quality and portion.“

“Fun. They shared my birthday Danced. Good food“

“First time here and I have to say the food is very good. In my opinion, better than Chipotle. Very tasty as well as Large portions.“

“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!!!“
