Great food! My first time ordering here and they did not disappoint. The recommendations made by the staff were top tier - the Chorizo with rice was beautiful sautéed, the steak tortas were packed with flavor in every bite. 10/10 would recommend. 4/5 stars cause I wish there was more sauce. 😄

Love the decoration! Food was amazing, I got chips with Guac it was really tasty. My first time here, I ordered for takeout and the lady in front told me to sit down in the dining area and she would call me over to pick up my food, after almost an hour, I get up to the front and the lady says she forgot that I was sitting in the dining room even though she TOLD me to sit there. Aside from that, my food was good despite waiting almost an hour unaware that my food was ready to go.

One of the finest mexican places I've ever eaten at. Service was excellent and immediate, there was so little wait time for what we ordered, and it tasted wonderful, not to mention the stunning decor and aesthetic. I've been to many mexican establishments across Union, Hudson, and Essex Counties, this one blows them all out of the water.

I looked up torta de milanesa (chicken cutlet sandwich) near me on google. I ended up finding this place so I ordered for 2 torta for pickup. Unbelievable price by the way each torta was $10 (plus tax of course) which is very rare to find. The cashier/lady I ordered on the phone with was super sweet.

And honestly by far the best Mexican restaurant around the Essex County area. I’ve tried others around the Belleville-Nutley area but it doesn’t compare to the flavor.

It was an amazing torta plus it comes with fries! You can’t find that around here. Reminds me so much of home. I’d recommend.

Mexican Rooster offers a truly authentic Mexican dining experience with a comfortable, home-cooked feel. The dishes are flavorful and well-prepared, with a mole that stands out as something special—rich and wonderfully satisfying. You can tell that each meal is made with care, bringing a sense of warmth and tradition to the table. If you’re looking for a place with genuine Mexican cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere, Mexican Rooster is definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic food. Husband loved his carnitas tacos, and I got the quesadillas and they were probably the best quesadillas I’ve ever had. Homemade tortillas, perfectly cheesey, and quality meat (steak, chicken, and pork). Awesome food and service - will be back!!
