Mexican Restaurants near Old Bridge

“Ordering pickup from El Mexicano is so GREAT! Starting with the AMAZING customer service when calling to order our food. The young lady answers very politely, understands our order and gets it right every-time! It is ready is a very timely manner. It is carefully packed, with salsas and chips. Most orders include a little salad, limes, and yummy chiles. We love the enchiladas verdes, pollo empanizado (breaded chicken cutlet). The arroz and fríjoles are DELICIOUS! The carnitas are so YUMMY too! Definitely recommend!“

“Excellent service! Staff was very attentive, our server, Alessandra was amazing!She was so personable and knowledgeable about meals. Food had huge portions and absolutely delicious. Everything from the drinks, to the appetizers to the meal.“

“As a person who grew up in NYC and is Latina, I can attest to the authenticity of the flavors of the Mexican food here. Their empanadas are packed with flavor and are stuffed with delicious chicken or beef. Plus, they are a sold at a bargain. The tamales are exceptional as well, my fave are the chicken mole ones. The people who work there are so kind and humble. The place is very humble as well. This is a “mom and pop” kind of place you’d find in Brooklyn. I’ve only done take out there : )“

“I love eating at Chipotle in Old Bridge. The place is always clean and organized, the staff is super friendly and their service is top tier. The times I have come the waiting time have been always short, also I love that they have a wide variety of options for customization of your burrito or bowl, especially because they offer healthy and fresh alternatives. I recommend their quesadillas and their burritos, they are just so good and delicious.“

“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend“

“Sameerah was amazing!! Great customer service and accomodation to your needs and wants!!“

“We LOVE Jalapeno and Cilantro! Since they first opened, they have been absolutely wonderful and we have seen no drop-off in any aspect, even as they have become increasingly busier and well-known in the local area.

Service: the staff here are so friendly and accommodating. They check in on your table at just the right cadence throughout your meal service and have always made sure to manage the allergens or dietary needs of our table.

Food: The food options are great! They have some traditional diner staples (pancakes, waffles, french toast, egg platter combos, etc.) along with some great Latin American offerings (enchiladas, burritos, etc.). The portioning is awesome - I never leave feeling hungry and we usually bring home leftovers. The value on the pricing is also incredibly favorable for customers. The standouts from our past dining experiences are the french toast, the hola combo, the breakfast burrito, and their tostadas.

Atmosphere: We love how joyful the atmosphere is every time we come! They regularly decorate for every occasion and holiday and keep the space clean and tidy. The amount of seating is modest so it can get crowded quickly during busier meal times but they turn the tables over in a reasonable amount of time.

Jalapeno and Cilantro is one of the few restaurants that I repeatedly recommend to others without hesitation. I have the utmost confidence that anyone I send there would have a good experience and even better food.“

“I went here tonight for my father’s birthday and the experience overall was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming, our waitress was friendly and engaging, and the food was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu. Also the tres leches was some of the best I’ve ever had 🤤“

“Amazing food and amazing prices. I’ve dined in and done take out , and it’s great every time. Super friendly staff as well.
Fajitas were amazing, chunky guac too. Every taco was delicious. No minimums on types of taco, so I always get to try different ones. Can’t recommend it enough“
