50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lincoln Park

“I was visiting from out of town and was ordering through
DoorDash from various restaurants in the area. I didn't hold out much hope for Bubbakoo's, due to an experience with a similar meal a few weeks prior, but was pleasantly surprised. The food was tasty, the portions comparable to price and the quesadilla gets an extra thumbs up.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Food!

We recently discovered this amazing little family-owned Mexican restaurant, and it’s safe to say we’ve found our new favorite spot. The restaurant may look unassuming from the outside—definitely a "hole in the wall" type of place—but don’t let that fool you! The warmth and hospitality of the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in.

The food here is nothing short of spectacular. Everything we ordered, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the crispy, flavorful flautas, and even the Mexican corn, was bursting with authentic flavors. Each dish tasted homemade and packed with fresh ingredients, giving us a true taste of Mexico.

We were so impressed with our first visit that we’ve already been back for seconds! If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food served by friendly people in a cozy setting, look no further. This place is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered by all food lovers. Highly recommend!“

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

“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!!“

“Everything was top-quality & delicious! Kind & helpful staff, colorful-festive environment and good music. My wife & I wanted to try a variety of items & each was 5-star in their category (fish tacos, chicken quesadilla & chimichanga). Hopefully they start selling the green sauce in bottles to customers they give with the chips soon.“

“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 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 Food Is Absolutely Great. Limited Seats but they also deliver. My Favorite is the Tacos de al pastor. If you’re looking for real authentic Mexican Food this is the place in the area. They have specials everyday like Mole, caldo de pollo, etc. Flan , Geltine , chicharon preparados, esquite and much more“

“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.“

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

“Best tacos ever and so much more. Innovative special each week.“

“I’ve been to this location almost everyday to get lunch and it’s always great and friendly service from all the staff members. I order online and my order is always ready to go on time with no issues. My food is also always made correctly and not a single mistake made at the time of writing this. Raoul is always super helpful and welcoming.“

“Pro: The staff is very friendly and attentive, the presentation of the food exceeded my expectations, good music and atmosphere and good quality alcohol. It was a reservation for a birthday, they put out balloons and cake.

Con: the place is not very big, it took a long time to bring the drinks, it was difficult to find parking and the brunch offer on Saturdays only includes drinks.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“With the TV on and the Mexican music playing, it was sensory overload for me! The waitress did turn off the tv when asked. She was very sweet.

They do not serve complementary chips and salsa like other places do. Waitress was very polite but knew very little English, which made my family nervous as we have food allergies and are vegetarians. However, the order was fine and the food seemed to be of good quality. I thought that $55 was a little pricey for a family of four, but I’m sure that some people could have gone cheaper.“

“delicious bowls. And I was pleasantly surprised at the value prices.“

“We ordered from Margarita’s tonight. The food arrived very quickly and it was hot. The chips were crispy and the guacamole was fresh and tasty. My burrito was delicious and the mole sauce was fantastic! Everyone else really enjoyed theirs too. We were sad to see Pancho’s go, but Margarita’s is even better!“

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

“We've been going to Blue Moon for at least 10 years. We always sit in the bar area for the atmosphere. It's gets very crowded, but everyone is friendly. The best part about this bar/restaurant is how good & attentive the staff is. It seems like they're are never understaffed. No matter how crowded it is, someone drops off chips & salsa to your table and takes your drink order immediately. There's no waiting for someone to take your drink order while you look at the menu like most restaurants in jersey these days. Even the manager comes around to see if you want more chips & asks how everything is. Whoever is training the waitstaff & bartenders at Blue Moon would make a killing training staff and managers of other bars/restaurants. As far as people saying the food is salty, we've never experienced that. The drinks are strong & tasty and staff super friendly. There's tons of parking, it's kid friendly in the dining room. It's ground level, which makes it accessible to everyone.“

“If you want to eat traditional Mexican food, here you will find a good place with a great flavor, starting with molcajete in green sauce, it is delicious enchiladas de mole, the portions are excellent and of good quality, the service is excellent, very fast, and you end with a delicious dessert, a great place to eat. like at home and very clean above all I love this place and super reasonable prices I simply love this place“
