50 Best Mexican Restaurants near North Arlington

“Great food and prices.... the servers are excellent and attentive. I been there at least 10 times and it never dissapoint. I highly recommend it“

“Been going here since they opened, in 2008 I believe...the best.“

“I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Maguey a couple of times now and I can now say without a doubt that this place is now in my go-to list for places to eat in the Kearny area. I had the calamari every time I’ve gone and I believe it may be one of the best I’ve had. The calamari is fresh, fried perfectly, and the accompanying sauce is rich and flavorful. You can’t go wrong with any of the food on the menu as it’s all delicious. It might just be my personal taste, but I would prefer if they used maybe a pinch of salt more than they normally do. That is not to say these dishes are not spiced wonderfully, they definitely are. I just like salt. I hope more people stop into this restaurant and support the local business.“

“I had an amazing experience with my recent Taco Bell order! The burrito I got was perfect. This was the one of the greatest burritos I ever had in my life, and from TACO BELL??? I literally placed my order, went to the bathroom and washed my hands, and when I stepped out of the bathroom, my food was ready on the counter. Everything was fresh and hot when I sat down to eat it in my car. The staff was friendly and kind as well. Highly recommend this Taco Bell location for anyone craving a tasty, satisfying meal.“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“omg Sophia was absolutely amazing! She catered to alllll my allergies. And it was my boy's bday and she made it extra special. Totally recommend to anyone in Chelsea!“

“This is a fully vegan restaurant, and I found the food delicious. I could definitely recommend the enchiladas suizas—they were very tasty, but also extremely spicy, even after asking for the hot sauce on the side. I feel that if they hadn’t been so spicy, I would have absolutely loved them. The churros come with a delicious white sauce, and the coconut cake is a great option if you’re a fan of coconut.“

“Sosy is our server and he was sooooo amazing and super duper friendly. We got a tomahawk for 2, fries, and mixed greens and more! It was great experience and it was phenomenal. Everything that we ordered was 10/10. I'm very happy that my husband found this place. We both enjoyed it so much“

“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“

“Hermoso restaurante de comida internacional música tragos espectaculares y ambiente súper agradable“

“Great location right in the heart of Manhattan. Wonderful Mexican food and delicious Margaritas. Had a great time there.“

“Nizuc isn’t just a restaurant it’s a full sensory experience. The space is stunning: lush greenery, artful details, and music that sets the perfect mood without being too loud.

The menu is a celebration of bold, modern Mexican flavors. From the creamy guacamole with house-made chips to the slow-braised birria tacos, everything tasted fresh and carefully crafted. I also loved how the dishes were served ,presentation was beautiful but not overdone.

The drinks were just as memorable. Their signature cocktails blend mezcal, tequila, and tropical flavors in unexpected ways . I had a passion caliente that I’m still dreaming about.

And honestly, the staff made the night. Warm smiles, great recommendations, and the kind of service that makes you want to come back.“

“When to celebrate a birthday with family. We had great time! We chose the Sunday's brunch menu, trully recomemded it for a large group. Drinks and food were really good. The host did a great job and we got tequila's shots on the house from the manager :)! Everyone loved the new theme of the restaurant. We will come back for sure!“

“Excellent restaurant serving a variety of Mexican and Mexican-inspired dishes, and some Sinaloan options like aguachile. It's hard to go wrong with any of the guacamoles, starters, or tacos. The aguachile and ceviches we've tried have been good. Was pleasantly surprised by their cocktails. Particularly like the Fridita and the Paloma. The couple that runs the restaurant is very kind. Nice ambiance too“

“Un lugar muy hermoso 🤩 y encantador ☺️“

“I found this location on OpenTable and truly had no idea what to expect. The staff was extremely knowledgeable about their offerings as well as accommodating to my tree nut allergy. We got several appetizers that were phenomenal along with our drinks. We really didn't know what to expect going here, but it exceeded any expectation I could've had! Highly recommend. “

“So fabulous! Delicious food! Amazing service! If you are any where near Brooklyn, it is a must!!“

“The food and drinks were phenomenal! We ordered the ceviche which was fresh and full of flavor, spice level was great! The ensalada Carmen was incredible, the nopal and queso panela were a good combination. The garnachas had a kick to them but it made you want more. A huge hit were the empanadas de platano, the sweet and salty with the chocolate and chipotle based sauce was unreal!

For entrees we did the ribeye tacos, pescado con verdolagas and the ribeye huarache! All were so filling and delicious! As a Mexican, it’s hard finding good quality Mexican food with fresh ingredients but they really hit the nail on the head with each dish and the mix of flavors. The drinks packed a punch and we appreciated their use of mezcal in several of the cocktail options.

Finally to end we tried the tres leches which wasn’t too sweet but still moist. The fresh strawberries really elevated it. The pastel de elote was also a favorite, fresh out of the oven so it was warm and melted in your mouth. Mixed with the coffee ice cream, it was a dream.

I would absolutely come back a hundred times! Good job Casa Carmen team!“

“Nice bright location atmosphere is vibrant all halal food . You must try all the tacos the birria ones are to die for have not tried any of the burritos I'm sure they are great as all their dishes they serve.

Dietary restrictions: All food served is halal“

“los mejores tacos al pastor!!!!!👍👍👍👍“

“I have been frequenting this place for a little while now they've always been very good to me and my tastes, tomorrow is my birthday so I mentioned it and by chance I was granted with my usual meal complimentary on the house, just showing even further how much humility the people in this establishment have. 10/10 recommend this eatery (try the seared fish!)“

“I pass this place often in my travels so I finally decided to give it a try. Initially when I walked in and saw the prices of everything I almost walked out because everything seemed overpriced. But I figured since I was already there I may as well give it a try. And thank God I did The food and service were amazing and made my trip and the money worth it.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and interesting menu offering plenty of delicious options. We will be back for sure!“

“Ate at Ponche Taqueria yesterday with a friend before seeing a show. Great food, and freindly service! Menu is basic, but offers plenty. Guacamole was delicious as were the taco combo plates! Get off the beaten path a bit & you will be rewarded!“

“The food was amazing as well as the pineapple margarita. They have such variety in their cocktail offerings. Don’t leave without trying the nachos! We will be back.“

“I live in Park Slope and for the first time, my husband and went to Alma Negra.
We had a great experience, from the moment we got there the waitress Ashley was so attentive and friendly. We had questions about the menu, she very patiently and with excellent customer service skills, answered all our questions. Her recommendations were excellent!

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.“
