Mexican Restaurants near Lincoln Park

“I've had a few minor mishaps with the service here, but overall it is certainly worth trying!Vegetarian options: Since you can build your own food, and there are plenty of options, I found it very easy to get a satisfying meal without meat in it.Parking: The parking lot is small, but there is more parking behind the building.“

“We have ordered food here many times for our family. The food is always delicious and the staff is excellent! The owner is very supportive of the community!!! If your organization is looking to fundraise, please reach out to the owner of Bubbakoo's Burritos in Livingston.“

“This is a small business that makes you feel at home even from different ethnicity. We are a fmaily of 7 and accomodated us very well. My kids are extremely picky and 3 of them chose the chicken tacos and loved them! One had the quesadilla and he is the most picky he ate some and took the rest for the next day. I am very picky with Mexican authentic food but this surpass all the restaurants I have been to in PA (I live in PA)! Al Azar plate was awesome and my baby is not one to eat much and she was eating the rice. My husband had the Caldo beef. To my surprise that was the most tasty soup I have tasted and the 1st Mexican soup I have tasted! The horchata was out of this world good! Will definitely go back again! I told the server that my son had a shellfish allergy and respected that! I bet the rest of the dishes are just as good!Parking: It’s a small location with parking. But that is enough for us!Kid-friendliness: My kids were excited! The decorations made them so happy! The food was great! Respected my child’s allergies!“

“Wow!! So we had a group of 8 and was pouring rain so looking for a takeout place. Found Tacos Polos because it was only 5 minutes away. We ordered tons of food for pickup. The price was great and the quality and amount for the price was unbelievable. We ordered a 30 tacos combo ?they were amazing. Everything was so good. We are so happy we found an amazing takeout place nearby.“

“We recently had the pleasure of dining here today. This restaurant brings out the food of its people with great prices. The tacos are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are truly authentic. We tried the fried pork, beef birria and chicken birria tacos and churros they were excellent. The tortillas are made fresh daily. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food.“

“I’m addicted! The menu is simple, the food is flavorful and well presented. Service is wonderful and great value. Casual setting with beach-y/food truck vibes vs a restaurant-proper. I suspect that this place would have a lot more foot traffic if it were in town near Bloomfield Ave or Watchung, but I’m happy to have it so nearby in Upper Montclair, and I hope they are a long-standing fixture here (have seen a few places coke and go in this spot). The food here stands out miles ahead of a couple of nearby Mexican options, albeit smaller menu.“

“This is the best Mexican food I've had in Jersey!! It's family owned and the family is incredibly friendly. The food is authentic, it tastes like it was served straight out of abuela's kitchen. The homemade sauces and dishes are delicious and unique in taste. They serve birria tacos occasionally which are to die for !!! The place is cozy and bright. They deliver, prices are reasonable and the food tastes great even reheated. I love this spot!!!“

“Everything made with love. I'm a gringo that knows how to speak spanish. Let me say this: I don't think there's a better option in the 100mile radius for authentic mexican food made with love and care. Oscars the best! If you haven't tried you have to right now!!“

“I always order burritos from here, also love their chips and guac (just wish there was a smaller size for chips cause I never finish them). They always do a great job preparing the food. Presentation is always neat and they always get it right. Their guacamole is always fresh and I’ve never had to spend a long time waiting for my mobile order. Would definitely recommend this spot.“

“A fun place to visit with friends or a date night. They decorated the place for Valentine's Day and even folded the napkins into hearts. The first time I came was for the drinks so we just sat at the bar and ordered chips and guac. It was really good so we came back months later to try their actual food. The steak on the stone was cool because you got to cook it exactly to your liking. The plantains were good. I wasn't a huge fan of the green salsa, as it was bland. I would have just stuck to the original. For the dessert we tried the churros, dulce de leches and the brownie and ice cream. The brownie is a very very small portion but it is also rich and decadant. I would probably recommend putting it on a smaller plate presentation wise. I think I liked the churros the best which had two dipping sauces. Drinks were fun and delicious too.“

“Be careful what you wish for. One torta here completely eliminated any chance I'd be doing any more climbing yesterday at the gym we were at next door. Delicious lunch though next time I'll opt for something lighter if I hope to continue climbing.“

“The family at Los Hermanos is a quality group. The meet you with a smile and their space is delightful. Nice for a quick bite whether that’s for a breakfast quesadilla or a lunch entree. A great addition to the 4th ward of Montclair. Also, side note - they wear gloves while preparing your food and it’s a very clean establishment.“

“We ate here once before, but it was just as things opened up after COVID, and it was so-so. We finally returned and I'm so happy we did. The food was very good, the service was super friendly and attentive, and the interior is cozy. We've found our favorite local spot for Mexican food!“

“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!“

“Really fresh Mexican food with quick service.Ordered pickup and tried the steak nachos and triple combo chimichangas. Both came in a huge serving with a ton of sides and extras to mix in.Great flavor in everything I had. Definitely stop by.“

“If you're looking for gringo tacos, this is not the spot for you. Super authentic, super delicious,l Mexican fare. The cabeza de reis tacos are incredible. Fresh ingredients, bright and flavorful salsas. This is definitely my new regular taco spot.“

“Really delicious. I ordered the Chamango, which had a blended mango smoothie with generous cubes of mango and chamoy (a spicy sweet sauce) throughout. It was decorated with a tamarind candy straw and a cute umbrella. It was a perfect balance of sweet and a little salty with a bit of a spicy kick. It was absolutely delicious and I will be back. The owner is also very kind and welcoming.“

“The food here was excellent. Freshness and effort came through in all the dishes clearly. Everyone at the table loved their food - we ordered fish tacos, chicken fajitas nachos to share with everyone and our friends ordered the veg quesadillas and grilled veg Mexican bowl(it comes in a plate?). The restaurant also offers sauces with 3 different levels of spice which that added an additional element of flavour. The best thing is that they offer great service too ! Very warm and involved. Highly highly recommend this place! Hope to visit again ?Dietary restrictions: They accommodate orders very kindly. Please let them know of your allergies/restrictions before placing your order“

“Loved the futbol game playing in the background, how homey it felt to eat there. Split birria tacos and tacos dorados with a date. Both were amazing, even dipping the tacos dorados into the birria consume. The horchata was okay. But the space was perfect for a cute calm date. Would definitely go back.“

“I came here one time for a quick dinner date with my best friend. And this is my second time coming I just had my birthday dinner with 13 guests. And everyone agreed that all the ladies there were super attentive. The music was so good and the food was even better. Jamelle was our waiter and her patients divine. It is not easy to do with 13 guest drinking all different orders etc . 10/10“

“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.“

“I had a meeting earlier in the day and didn't have lunch, so I was looking for something good to eat when I saw Fandango Mexican Grill. I was amazed at the beautiful decor of Mexican art. I was promptly greeted by a very friendly welcoming waitress. Everything on the menu looked great and I had a hard time selecting something, so I asked my waitress to recommend something. She recommended the Carne Asada Burrito. I ordered that and was not disappointed. The burrito was enormous, full of well seasoned steak, cheese and rice. It was so good. I would definitely Fandango Mexican Grill. ?“

“I don't know how we figured my order out..but the lady at the front desk and my spanglish got the order in. I have never had better tacos bisteca in my life. And also the aguas Fresca?!???? To die for. I got the pineapple. She side eyed me a little when I said I wanted all this food but it's Ramadan and ya girl is hungry. I also ordered ahead and they were able to get my food ready at the time to break my fast. Now that is EXCELLENT customer service.“

“Wifey and I have been talking about going to Fat Fish Taco for eight years - since they opened - but we FINALLY made it last night. And we. Both agreed we were idiots for waiting so long. This place reminded both of us of being in a Jersey shore restaurant - pleasing and simple decor, friendly people, and good food. They were mostly filled when we got there, but we were seated immediately and started looking over the menu. We opened our wine (yep, it's BYOB) and they brought us some glasses. It was pretty tough deciding what to have. First we considered an appetizer and a couple tacos each, but then the table next to us got their nachos and we decided on those and one taco each. We ordered the nachos with chicken, Wifey got the Baja taco and I had the Blackened Sole taco. Man...it was all good. Kudos to the owner, Steve, and the wait staff. The tacos were delicious and everything tasted so fresh. The nachos were great too, though I would have liked more chicken on them. The chips tasted fresh and everything on top was just amazing. We finished off the evening with a slice of Key Lime pie with two spoons. It's not a stretch to say this is the best Key Lime pie I've ever eaten...anywhere. Could not have asked for a better meal...as Wifey said, it was an "Unexpected Delight. Took us 8 years to finally come here...won't be 8 years til our next visit, that's for sure. Worth every penny.“

“Excellent, Fresh and (gulp!) Affordable! I am so thrilled that we have the real thing in our cute town! Plus a cafe con leche for 1.87! Isabel was extremely delightful and helpful in helping me choose from all the delicious offerings! THANK YOU. I will be back with the familia, for sure!“

“My whole family really loves Los Carnales. I'm surprised I haven't written about them yet. It's our 3 year old son's first choice when we were deciding where to go. He loves the chips with the green salsa, and he has good taste - it's very flavorful. The inside is just super cute and festive. It is small and cozy, but one of our favorite spots. We also love the waitresses. We do get take out often as well, but despite our introvert personalities we prefer to go there. We try different things on the menu, but we always start with the Choriqueso. It's so hard to find a good chorizo queso that isn't all grease with cheap cheese. This ends up being the little guy's meal. I also love the Ensalada de la Casa with shrimp. Lately we've been loving the Quesadilla Mexicanas with steak or shrimp. They are really generous portions as well. The menu has both Mexican and American style on the favorites, which I really appreciate. Not only is it good for those used to one style, but it also offers great variety if you just want something different. I'm sorry it took almost a year for me to applaud this place. Mexican is our favorite but I have struggled to find a good place, despite glowing reviews. The food looks fantastic but then the protein is completely bland. Not Los Carnales!! They know what they're doing.“

“Not much to look at from the street, but the food is LEGIT. Best Mexican I've had in a long time; fresh and delicious. You can mix and match proteins and the portions are generous for the price. We had a fabulous meal. Be forewarned they are cash only. No biggie for us, but might be for those who don't carry cash.Only downside (again, nothing w/the service or the food) was that we could have done without "The Hunger Games" playing on the TVs in the eating area - turn them off and just put on some music!“

“I wish I went here sooner. I love everything about this place. There’s plenty of food options. They have a sandwich and wrap station , taco station , pizza station , a fresh salad and bowl station and fruits and desserts. There’s plenty of chips and drinks to choose from. This is a great lunch spot. I had a “Livingston” pizza which had bacon, pineapple , and Gorgonzola cheese and it was real delicious. I also tried an “Essex” sandwich which was chicken cutlet , spicy ranch and tomato on Focaccia bread toasted nicely in the oven. Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of seating. Very friendlyHelpful people working. I will be back for sure to try many more items.“

“We love this place, great food and a fair price. The staff is always friendly and punctual. I have dined in and taken to go. The bonitos and tacos are our go to's and their awesome I have also tried many other items on the menu and all are excellent.“

“We are from out of town and we were looking for a family oriented restaurant that had good home cooking. The food was delicious, I had a whole snapper with white rice and tostones (green fried plantains) and my husband had white rice, black beans, salad and steak smothered in onions. Everything was Delicious and I even took my leftovers to the hotel for later. I can't say enough about the treatment we got from Denis the owner and his wife. He came to our table and we talked and even exchanged phone numbers. I would recommend anyone looking for a homey place with excellent food and staff to go and enjoy your meal there. You will not regret it.“

“We love this place! The staff is always welcoming and the food is so good! I usually get the flautas or tostadas, and look forward to their chips & salsa. Fine in and takeout orders have always been ready fast and served hot. We've never had any issues and have been coming here every so often since they opened. Highly recommended!“

“We have been waiting for a place like this to come to this area for awhile and now we have it! This is definitely the best authentic tacos and Mexican dishes in this area.You should go and try it. And it's a byobHow can you go wrong, delicious thanks!!!“

“I went there last night with a friend for the first time and enjoyed great food and listened to some awesome karaoke singers! The staff was super kind and friendly, and the food was delicious at great prices. I'm looking forward to coming back with more friends on a Friday or Saturday night for karaoke, food, and drinks! Love that it's a byob place too!“

“Absolutely adore this restaurant and have been going for years! My husband and I love their food so much that we ordered catering for our daughter's first birthday and it was DELICIOUS. We had so many compliments. Gloria was so easy to work with and incredibly thoughtful with our order. You can tell everything is made with love.Dietary restrictions: We ordered specifically around my husband's gluten allery and everything was safe!“

“Came here for breakfast on a Saturday and there wasn’t a lot happening inside, but the service was great. Very friendly staff and the food felt very authentic Mexican. Ordered the Huevos Rancheros and it was great! Not exactly what I was expecting for breakfast, but everything was good.“

“Had a great experience at Cinco de Mayo. Food was good. Some of the best guacamole I have had, super fresh. Their chips and salsa are quite good too a tad spicy yet my 7 year old was hooked on them. I want to speak on the service it was exceptional. I really hope the owner/ manager recognize their team as good service is hard to find.“

“Wasn’t expecting much but was blown away by the guacamole and chips that we shared before our tacos were made. By far the BEST guacamole I have ever eaten along with perfect homemade chips.All 3 of us loved our taco selections and they even offer to make your tacos with a lettuce wrap instead of flour shell. We will definitely be back for more!??????“

“Great little eatery. My wife and I shared the ultimate nachos which was a generous portion for the price. I had the western omelet which was also quite a lot of food and tasted delicious. My wife had the cheese steak sandwich which she enjoyed .“

“I love it! Good service, good attention, a very pleasant atmosphere and delicious food without ruling out the drinks that are natural (Jamaican water and Horchata). And the delicious shots plus the crazy corn. All delicious, I recommend it and if you go do it too, it's worth it ?? !“

“I wish I honestly stayed to eat instead of takeout to tell the person who cooked my burritodilla how phenomenal it was!! He made a suggestion of protein to go with my choice-I devoured it! Thank you. Will definitely be stopping by again soon for a ritual “taco Tuesday” “

“It's such a cute place hidden in north Haledon. Food is delicious. I recommend fresh guacamole. It's made to order literary at the table. Drinks are great too.Parking: This place is hidden. Need to pay attention to find the road. Looks like a residential area, but just follow the road to the end, and you will find it ?“

“We happen to find this place when the place we were going to was closed down the road.My wife and I were very impressed with the food. The shrimp ceviche was the best we had. They are not cheap with the shrimp and nowhere in Dover where we had it can make it like here.We go out of our way to make a trip here a few times a month. The only funny thing to comment on and its nothing bad, is the choice of tv viewing. They continuously loop Benji commercials all day. They should have some kind of TV viewing but obviously not a deal breaker at all. Just a funny comment.We have been to both locations and definitely prefer the Caldwell location.“

“i usually order on uber eats so i can’t comment on the atmosphere. i’ve ordered about 6 times so far and loved it every time. the birria tacos are phenomenal and amazingly priced for how much meat they pack into the tacos. 2nd fave of mine is their shrimp tacos, i’ll be honest the presentation for those is typically crappy, but they taste really good. my one of my favorite things from this restaurant has to be their salsa verde!! it’s so flavorful and fresh EVERY TIME. i always order extras“

“These gentlemen working night shift are absolutely amazing, caring, and SOLID. Every time I have come to this location at night, these guys never fail to deliver. Today specifically comes after a 2 day illness, where I needed a solid 1500 calorie meal at once to recover.What a great move, I had faith that this would not be a bad move, and they delivered yet again.THANK YOU to this Specific Taco Bell location for never letting me down. I appreciate the long days/nights and hard work you all put in. Thank you ❤️“

“We stopped by this place as it was opening up for dinner service. The waiters were so kind they let us in because it was chilly outside. We ordered nachos and tacos. We tried the nachos grande which was so good. It comes with a vegetarian chilli topping that was addictive. And as you can see from the photo, a huge amount of guacamole. We also ordered smoked brisket tacos. The meat was well seasoned and well cooked. And the tacos had so much filling (pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese, lettuce). It also came with a side of beans and rice. It was a decent amount of food for the price, we couldn't finish all we took the rest to go!“

“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!“

“We came here after another restaurant that was suggested to us for Mexican food was closed. The place wasn't packed or loud, but it seemed very clean. The server wasn't too talkative but very friendly. I ordered the Chimichanga, and my lady love ordered the Taco/Enchilada/Chili Relleno combination platter. The beans were really good. Chimichangas were good, as was her combo platter, but could probably use just a hint of spice for a bit of a wow factor. All in all, not bad. A good little spot for a bite to eat, and talk. Price wise, it was about average. Not too expensive. I'd like to come back and sit outside when the weather warms up.“

“Great place located in a busy strip mall in the middle of wyckoff. It's in the same shopping center that has Marshalls on one end and sbux on the other. Kids always love this place and staff is always super friendly and smiling. Never had a bad meal .Food is always pretty quick and the drinks have a decent pour. Happy to have this establishment in the middle of town!“

“My boyfriend was in the mood for Mexican, so I searched on Grubhub and this was the first time ordering from El Mirador and I have to say that it was awesome! So tasty, the food got to me still hot and the portion was just right! I am a foodie and the food here was fresh and great tasting. Will definitely be a regular customer!“

“I unexpectedly was having 12-15 people over my house after a memorial service. I called Chanos and asked if they would be able to provide food for me within 2 hours. Surprisingly, they did not hang up the phone, but rather, the gentleman put me in contact with their caterer. She was extremely kind and helpful. She guided me in choosing food and the team got it done and delivered to my house right on time. I could not be more thrilled to have this amazing restaurant in the town I live in. Thank you!“
