12 Best Mexican Restaurants in Newark

“Súper ricoooo todoooo 20/10!!“

“We missed the fact that our airline lounge was prior to security. We had 2 hours to wait and we were hungry. Samelin made our lunch memorable and far better than an airport fast food place should be!! The food was good and tasted even better with the great service.“

“I grew up in Texas and enjoyed this authentic beef taco bowl for a casual and affordable dinner in Newark. The owner and staff clearly put their hearts into each ingredient in the bowl which comes together as a Tex-Mex festival of flavors.

Kid-friendliness: Saw a mother and daughter there. Lots of teenagers were eating there as well.“

“The best Restaurants on Ferry ST“

“Hands down one of the greatest places to eat full of flavor and the food is so fresh 100% would really“

“Not for nothing but this is the absolute best place to have Mexican food(pure authentic) not Tex-Mex. My torta de milanesa de pollo y agua Fresca de horchata from scratch was absolutely delicious and with desire for more!!! The service was amazing and courteous with a warm welcome.“

“I loved the place, excellent service and family atmosphere. I loved everything, the food, Miss Paola's service was great, she advises you, she recommends you, and the food was very delicious., and the music is great🌹🌹🌹🌹 or the decoration is great 10 out of 10“

“I've only had the chicken or beef tacos but they taste delicious! Add a little salsa verde, hits the spot. I'm here at least once a week for them. Also take out, I'm sure they're plated better if you dine in. Tacos are $8. About 10 minute wait, cooked to order.“

“I was in Newark, Terminal A Monday and ate here due to a plane delay. Best thing about the plane delay was finding out about this place and I will be back when I come to NJ!! Best chicken tacos I've ever had. The lady next to me also went and she is agreed!!“

“Had steak tacos on soft corn tortillas....soooo good. And the staff was super friendly. Will definitely go there again!“

“Tacos are absolutely delicious, best tacos I’ve ever had. I recommend the carnitas but if you’re not into the fat then the steak(bisteck) ones are the next best. Their tacos also come with pickled vegetables on the side which make it even more delightful. I devour the whole container in less than five minutes haha. They are very kind and respectful and offer amazing costumer service. I don’t know why anyone would rate it lower than a four but maybe they were just having a bad day because I’ve known this taquerias for years now. Ever since they were located by Montclair Ave and I have never had a bad experience. I’ve recommended it to many people and they have all loved it. I hope their business grows and gets the recognition it deserves!“

“I have to admit that my expectations were low because traditional Mexican food on the east coast is rare as hens teeth. My wife and I were amazed to find the fresh ingredients and complimentary flavors reminded us of some of our favorite restaurants on Cozumel. My only complaint is that the food is too good for a food Truck. Mike already figured this out because he's opening a restaurant. I can't wait to see his presentation on some colorful Mexican crockery. Traditional rum, tequila, and mescal drinks would make a perfect evening.“
