50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Pennsauken

“At LaNova the family cooks from the heart. Everything is made fresh from scratch. We've been Mexican food aficionados for years and LaNova is our all time favorite in SNJ. We dine at LaNova at least 2-3x/month.😊“

“My favorite tacos by far…. Only complaint is the hours. It’s Tuesday…… taco Tuesday….. and you’re not open until Wednesday at 11am. Doesn’t make sense, I’m just mad I can’t have my favorite tacos since I’m working close by today.“

“Honestly an overall great place for food. When we arrived there in a big group they were very patient with us. The server was friendly and the food came out relatively fast with the amount of people we went with. The food is cheap and very good. Rich with flavor and big portions.

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu was pretty good for the price and would fill up any kid.“

“Definitely an authentic Mexican restaurant, not the sell out Tex/ Mex you find everywhere, Birria tacos are the best I've had so far The Elote was fresh very good, Definitely worth the drive from Wilmington, De Can wait to go back“

“Awesome food and staff always fresh delicious ingredients!“

“Pretty authetic mexican barbacoa from Capulhuac, mexico state. It gets pretty busy on weekends and they warn if kitchen is getting busy. Barbacoa is pretty good and I was happily surprised to find that sweet tamales are the state of Mexico style: "canarios", made of rice instead or corn with a pretty soft and fluffy texture.“

“My wife and I cherish having this spot so close by!

We originally fell in love with the birria tacos back in the food truck days - honestly haven't had a bad dish. The tortas are tasty and filling - chorizo is my go to right now. And there is just something special about their chips w/ guac.

Check it out - you won't be disappointed.“

“Birriadillas are excelente!♥️“

“ecxelente servicio personal muy atento amable y te ayudan a seleccionar buena comida y bebidas 💯 recomendable“

“The truth is that I thought we were only going to satisfy my hunger, but when I tried the tacos, I was not left speechless, very delicious, everyone in the rooms has to try them, especially the macha one, very delicious, eye only those who like spicy and the green one, delicious and just like the red
Tacos were roast beef and they were very tasty and the friendliness of the girl was excellent ??I would return for more“

“I find it an awesome place to sit outside with great drinks and a great happy hour especially the nachos just wish they added chorizo on the nacho’s for happy hour. Nice to relax here last night was the Phillies game and it was great👍“

“excelente servicio no se diga la comida recomendada al 100%“

“There were nine of us who dined there last night and we 100% agreed that the reviews are spot on. I got the Mexican Style grilled shrimp tacos and they absolutely slapped. We got the Latinas Bites for our app and finished off the night with the Dolce Quesadilla and Xangos for dessert, which were both uniquely and indulgently sweet. During dessert, I had pointed out that you'll know how good the food is because nobody's talking and everybody's eating. The first bite was as savory and delicious as the last and you must be prepared to bring food home. If you're familiar with the 7 Elements of Taste, this is definitely the place for you. I'll easily give Latinas a 9/10 and I will definitely be back, since there's so many more things I want to try.

Dietary restrictions: They have both flour and corn tortillas for those who have a gluten sensitivity. Make sure to ask about what's gluten free.

“The food was fabulous!! Atmosphere was spot on! Love, love, loved it!!“

“Authentic Mexican cafe with lots of typical American breakfast and brunch options. I got the chilaquiles with red sauce which comes with beans eggs and choice of meat if you want. Super flavorful sauce cooked up on the stovetop and presented simply and beautifully. Horchata was sweet and refreshing to go along with breakfast. Support smaller family-run establishments and come here for breakfast/lunch!“

“Great atmosphere and even greater food!!!“

“Food? DELICIOUS. Drinks? AMAZING. Service? TOP NOTCH. Staff? FRIENDLIEST people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I will be back. Count on it!“

Vegetarian options: Vegan tacos excellent super flavorful

Kid-friendliness: We had a kid with us they accommodated nicely“

“@halal_mexican is a hidden gem in Philadelphia that has some of the best HALAL Mexican cuisine that I’ve ever tasted. I love that I was able to find a Mexican halal spot. Pictured: -Flautas -Shrimp Chimichanga -Mini Corn on the Cob -Chicken Tacos -Steak Burrito Bowl My favorite item from there has to be the flautas. It’s a deep fried rolled chicken tacos served with pico de gallo and sour cream. Highly recommend this restaurant to all those seeking a tasty mexican restaurant with good service and halal food! Thank you @halal_mexican for being so hospitable and accommodating. I’ll be coming back here next visit“

The waitstaff are super sweet and attentive. & the food?! THE FOOD?!?? From the birria fries to the birria tacos, I was in birria heaven. Everything was cooked to perfection & you know the food was made with love. Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere. Will definitely be back again, and with more friends!!!“

The food is amazing, even the complimentary homemade chips!! The Horchata was delicious also! The decor is nice and bright and the music was good too.

“Food is excellent , ingredients & flavor superb. The Owner is truly a sweetheart .. great vibes…curbside service also…“

“I’ve been here three times so far and each experience has been a delight. BYOB too! I’ll be back!“

“I really enjoyed my visit to El Purepecha and would definitely make a return visit. The Birria tacos were crispy and had the right amount of filling; the cheese pull was amazing! The consomé had lots of flavor and complimented the tacos very well. The slightly tart and refreshing mango mojito was a perfect compliment to the tacos. The churros were cooked perfectly with a crispy exterior and a slight chew in the center.“

“The nachos with ground beef was delicious, even though the accompanying red salsa tasted too much like spaghetti sauce. In any case, it was a good meal. What brought my experience to 5-stars was the customer service I received from Esteban. Esteban, thank you very much! Amigos Mexican Grill is lucky to have an employee like you!“

“Good food and friendly service. Portion sizes are great for teens who love to eat!“

“Fantastic meal! For drinks we had a bat bite & mai tai. Everything we tried for food was AMAZING. Service was friendly and great at giving us details about the menu. The neighborhood is not the best so I suggest to Uber here. The food and drinks outweigh the outside world so don’t be scared - get here and try this place!“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“This place is the best! My husband and I use to drive to the city for Mexican food. The place is ten times better! Every time we get a date night, it’s always here! The people are so friendly. And is such a cozy little atmosphere. Don’t get me started on the deserts, the absolute best! I always get it to go because the portions are so big that you won’t have room for it. I can’t tell you enough that you’ve got to try this place! It’ll be your new go to spot!“

“The food and presentation was amazing and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Great restaurant which I will recommend to friends and return to.“

“ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT FOOD AND STRAWBERRY 🍓 TEQUILA“

“Incredible food, awesome service, and a great place all around. The staff is very friendly. If you need gluten free food, everything is gluten free, including the churros. Highly recommended for a great meal, and especially great for GF food in the city.

Dietary restrictions: All gluten free“

“We just had dinner at El Nopalito last night and it was great! The food was delicious, the staff is very friendly and the restaurant is so cozy and pretty inside. We got in right before it got very busy, but even with the rush, our food came out quickly and was very good. Highly recommend!“

“The best bartenders around! Amazing food and drinks 💜“

“Been going there for a while and I have nothing bad to say about it“

“Absolutely stellar place. It’s vibrant and colorful and the food is perfect. The plantains, chicken tinga tacos, and Cresta guacamole are three knockout dishes but most everything here is going to knock your brain to the back of your skull and have you speaking Spanish by the end of the meal.“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

“Samantha was a great waitress. The marg flight was amazing, the tacos, tortilla soup & tres leches cake was to die for. 10/10! Always delicious food!“

“Seriously incredible. The chicken tortilla soup is my favorite soup east of the Mississippi. Perfect amount of spice, chicken, crispy torts, and avacado. Have tried majority of different entrees all very good, staff is so welcoming. Never change the soup“

“Muy bonito ambiente agradable lo recomiendo 💯“
