50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lincoln Park

“Just another typical place I go to when I’m trying to change my palette from what I’ve been eating lately. Only thing I wish is they would have stronger seasoning on the hibachi steak as well as it chopped in smaller pieces as getting a whole chunk in a bite kind of doesn’t help when the rest of the taco has no protein. Also wish too that their guacamole came in bigger portions (I love it).“

“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.“

“Comida mexicana buen ambiente“

“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.“

“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 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“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 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.

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here for brunch and really loved my margarita. The nachos were solid too. The pico is just amazing!! We got tacos, which are a bit pricey ($25 for three). My fiancé had the chicken tacos and liked them, but I had the mushroom tacos and wouldn’t recommend them, it had way too many mushrooms. I would still come back though to try the dinner menu and for the drinks.“

“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. Pro tip get extra white sauce on the side for the tacos with squeeze of lime. BOOM!“
