50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Piscataway

“Good food. Chuck is great“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“Muy buena atención y buena comida“

“Tried Nacho Bae for the first time and honestly it was great. The food came out quick, portions were solid, and everything tasted fresh. I got the loaded nachos and they were packed with toppings, not just a bunch of chips at the bottom. The staff was really friendly too and made the whole experience easy.

Definitely one of the better spots around New Brunswick when you’re craving something casual and filling. I’ll be coming back to try more of the menu.“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“Great food! Friendly atmosphere! Five stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything you order is so fresh and delicious!“

“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 🤤“

“It’s seems to be slacking. The ladies restroom has no trash bin in the general area. They had toilet paper on the ground today. Most days it’s clean but not today. I do see young employees talking amongst themselves while working. Which is not a problem. But when the tables, trash buns and utensils and fresh drinks need to be refilled to refreshed. It’s a problem.“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Alyssa our server was very attentive We had an Awesome experience! The drinks were out fast and our food was Great!“

“I've been to Edison Tex Mex Deli several times, and it's always a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, the prices are hard to beat, and they have plenty of great vegetarian options.

My go-to order is the Tex Mex Veggie Fries—they're absolutely loaded with flavor and more than enough to satisfy a craving. I also love the tacos, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The portions are huge for the price, so you definitely get great value.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the decor strikes the perfect balance between elevated and relaxed. It's a comfortable spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or staying to enjoy your meal. Highly recommend!“

“We chose La Colina Mexican Cantina in Warren NJ to celebrate 3 birthdays on 4/5/25. We were a party of 12 & tried a few of the beautifully crafted cocktails that were out of this world and so tasty we had to order more. We began our feast with a couple of platters of Nachos El Gordo that were huge and absolutely delicious and went perfectly with the chosen wines, margaritas, and assorted cocktails our family ordered. The cocktails were of the beautiful quality that we've only seen on TV during cooking shows or restaurant series. The edible flowers and the smoke emitting drinks were amazing. We were served by a wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive waitress. She was able to answer every question and had plenty of patience for our crowd who were amazed by the menu. Especially the "Smart" menus that detail each item at the flip of your finger. What an upscale & impressive touch that is. After we ordered our entrees we enjoyed more cocktails and had some time to talk and enjoy the unbelievable decor that seemed to have an endless amount of thought and class put into the decor of this authentic Cantina. The service was beyond excellent and our meals came out hot and enticing and as pleasing to the eyes as it was to our pallets. This was authentic delicious, beautiful meals that made the party seem like were were enjoying fantastic Cantina style food right in Mexico. I highly recommend the burritos, enchiladas, the Mexican Caesar salad, fajitas and I'm sure that rest of the menu has to be outstanding if everything the 12 of us had was that delicious. Besides the wonderful service, drinks, food and authentic atmosphere, topping the celebration off was when the owner came over to our table , introduced himself and made sure everything was as fabulous as possible. Believe me it was. Then the Head Chef came out and asked if everything up to our expectations to which we all agreed this place out did every single Mexican restaurant we've ever been to. I highly recommend La Colina in Warren NJ and I know you won't be disappointed in the food , atmosphere or the service. We surely will be back !!!!“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“Great food. Cant wait to go back and try something new.“

“My experience was 1000/10! Absolutely loved the ambiance, food options & cocktails! Of course, i owe my experience to our amazing server, Bella! She took the time to explain all different cocktails, specials & main plates! She spoke with so much knowledge & confidence, you can trust her with any recommendation! When I return, I am requesting Bella & if you wanna have the same experience, I recommend you do too!

My girls and I had an amazing time at this place. Most of us had steak, 10/10. If you love Espresso Martini’s, i highly recommend the Frozen Espresso Martini with sweet foam on top. Music is not too loud by the seating area which was great! Place is super aesthetic for pictures as well.

10/10 !“

“If you like Mexican and Indian food, you must try masalamex! Everything I ordered was so good. I will definitely come back here!“

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“los taquitos de birria más ricos que he probado!!!“

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!“

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!“

“We eat here once a week, faithfully. Actually because we have such a big order, we order it for delivery to Piscataway. I ate there twice in the restaurant and was HOOKED! The flavors are so DELICIOUS! We’ve have our favorite menu items and a nice variety. Hands down best place to eat!“

“From the very first plate, everything felt intentional. The presentation wasn’t just pretty, it was poetic…colors placed like they had a purpose, textures layered like a quiet symphony. Then you taste it, and suddenly it all makes sense. Every bite had depth. Not just flavor, but personality. Rich without being heavy, bold without being loud.“

“First time customer. I got two beef tortas and one chicken milanesa torta. The bread was fresh, meat tender and so flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Even the fries were well seasoned and crispy. The cheese, crema and avocado added balance to all the flavors. Excellent service and experience overall. I would have taken photos but I was too busy eating! This will become my Mexican food mainstay from now on.“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“Every single dish was amazing and packed with flavor! There are so many fun appetizers to choose from and a variety of tasty entrees as well. So many dishes have a creative twist and that's what makes this place so unique and exciting to try. I'm still thinking about those crispy chicken bao buns. We'll definitely be back“

“Went here for dinner tonight the first time. Food was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our host/server and she was fantastic at recommendations. Food was delicious. Will definitely make this my new Spanish go to restaurant. The Salvadorian Chicken Tamale was moist and dense, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. If you order the beef empanadas, ask them for their new homemade hot sauce. It's a perfect blend of sweet & heat to go with the pastry dough. Their plantains were a good addition of sweet to the dense of the meal. Their flan was the perfect size for a nice ending dessert to a very filling meal. Definitely a highly recommended place to get an excellent and very affordable meal.“

“Bubbakoo's reminds me of Moe's in the best ways with lots of options with delicious queso. Food was pretty good, customer service was stellar. Rep gave me white rice instead of brown. Offered to remake it, I declined. He took a percentage off my total order. You don't get service like that too often anymore. Not to mention I was greeted upon entering establishment.“

“Food was delicious with great proportions, not too much not overwhelming. I was skeptical looking at the price of the street corn but it turned into shock when I saw how the corn was presented. It felt like I was eating at a high end expensive restaurant while still serving a pretty big portion.“

“I ate here yesterday, and even though it was a 40 minute drive, I'm HEAVILY debating going back today.😍 The employees were all so sweet and helpful. It was my first time in. Food came quick. Chipotle, Moe's and Qdoba wish they had the flavor that this place has!! I got the bowl with Chorizo and a bunch of toppings. The food was so fresh and flavorful. It may be a little difficult to get through with the turn around, but it's beyond worth it to me. To reiterate....all the employees were amazing! So patient, and so kind, and as someone who can be a little anxious when ordering i can't articulate enough how good that makes me feel. Didn't get a picture of ny food because I basically unhinged my jaw like a snake and inhaled it. 😅“

“I've been here 3 times in the last 5 days. I got birria tacos two days in a row. I also explored other menu options and ate the carnitas tacos too. Overall fantastic place, food is fantastic, staff are great and vibes are there. I have a gluten allergy and the staff were very accommodating, I never had any sort of reaction.“

“Excelente atención al cliente y su comida muy rica.“

“¡¡Qué delicia de lugar !! , excelente ambiente y atención.“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“This is a hidden gem in Morris County right on the border of Berkeley Heights and Long Hill. The restaurant feels like you are right in Mexico -- the ambiance, service, and food are exquisite. I love the Sonora and Mazatlan! Only thing is the restaurant is very small with minimal parking.“

“Great experience. Tried to place my order, but was basically told what to get. I wanted an empinada one way, the lady told me the right way. Empinada was great. Burrito was HUGE and tasty, two meals. Highly recommend!“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire.

“I LOVE IT I BEEN THERE TWICE AND WE DON'T SPEAK SPANISH BUT WE WERE HELP AND THE WAITRESS REMEMBER US FROM THE LAST TIME. THE SHRIMP IS TO DIE FOR. WILL BE BACK“

“Hello, I wanted to share my experience at the restaurant. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was excellent with traditional music and a very clean environment. The food was prepared fresh on the spot, and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys savoring a truly excellent, authentic Mexican dish.“

“This meal was absolutely outstanding. The chicken sandwich was perfectly crispy, the bread was fresh, and every bite tasted homemade with real care. The restaurant delivered perfect quality across the board, from the flavorful food to the warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“Bubbakoo's Burritos is amazing! The food is fresh, the atmosphere is clean, warm and inviting, and the kids loved the churros. The burritos are huge, nachos are delicious, and quesadillas are tasty. Service is quick and attentive. Can’t wait to order a taco box for our next party!“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“Excellent little diner inside the convenience store right next to Dunkin donuts. It's a family-owned business. It's a husband and wife. The wife makes the best empanadas there. They're fresh, made every single day. The chicharron is excellent. And I love the breakfast sandwiches. That's usually my go-to there. I get a a pork roll egg and cheese with jalapenos and they get my order right every single time.“

“I read through some of the comments and they were about MY grandma, the owner of the restaurant. Someone said that she was a he. And another said she was from somewhere she was not from! She is from MEXICO. People just make me mad sometimes when do stuff like that. If you do not know the gender of someone you don't even know just say 'they' that easy. But after all great food.“

“We love Qdoba in Westfield! Super friendly staff and delicious food! We especially love the fresh guacamole! 😋“

“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“
