50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Riverdale

“We love this place! Started coming at the beginning of COVID, they have outside seating, BYOB and are dog friendly. Food is great!“

“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. 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.“

“Friendly staff, dining area is very cozy and homey. Probably the most authentic Mexican food in the area (super flavorful). The tacos al pastor [with everything] are probably the best taco ive ever had. I havent found a better taco yet. Pricing is very fair for the serving they give you. Overall 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Amazing food !!! Highly recommended… Fast delivery service“

“This was my second time dining at La Bamba Grill and I must say that this place is one of the coolest restaurants I have visited.
It’s very obvious how much love goes into every dish before it is delivered to your table and once you take your first bite you will be a believer.
The service on this occasion was a 10/10 and all the credit goes to Yuri who was our server and Leydi who assisted. These 2 young ladies are some of the most authentic people I have encountered. You can tell how much they love what they do and that is a testament to the owners because they have to be treating their employees very well for them to be smiling like they do.
Lastly the decor is one of a kind. You can tell a lot of thought went into the layout and the design of this place.“

“First time checking out Tortas Lokas in Fairfield and my husband and I are both happy to have found this spot! The Tortas and Flan were amazing. A big thank you to our server Marilin and chef Pancho for making this a great experience. We will definitely be back 🙏🏽“

“This is the best Moe's I've ever been to, never had a bad experience and I've been coming here for years. I don't know why because Moe's is usually subpar for the industry, but the Mahwah Moe's is somehow different.“

“WOW! IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 10 STARS I WOULD! this plaza has amazing food and I noticed this new storefront. when I walked in, I was surprised by how nice it looked on the inside. And then I saw the menu. This place is like Chipotle on turbo. I got the steak and shrimp, only $12 and the girl behind the counter had great suggestions on how to best top it. I left extremely satisfied with the food, but also the pleasant service and hip atmosphere. I will definitely be back soon. thank you!!!“

“The best moes Best place“

“I have been going to this restaurant for a long time, the professionalism and service never change. It's incredible! The people are always friendly, the food is excellent and the atmosphere very cozy.

The products feel fresh, which gives customers a sensational food tasting...“

“We ordered the chicken tacos, chicken nachos and a beef burrito. The food was very good and done at the time we requested (we placed a special request to get it done right away - bad planning on our part - thanks for helping). in addition, we received our food the exact way we requested it and nothing was missing. My only minor complaint is that the burrito is smaller than some places but it was well worth $10, which is a fair price. Everything else was priced fairly as well with large quantities and in most instances cheaper than other places The chicken tacos and nachos was a large, very tasty serving. The person who took our order was very friendly. Two requests - please add churros (your competitors have) & fix online ordering :) we look forward to returning!“

“Absolutely amazing! Everything is made with fresh, homemade ingredients and you can taste the difference in every bite. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Great atmosphere, great prices , can’t recommend this place enough!“

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

“Love coming to this Qdoba, they always give me the perfect portions size and the staff is always friendly and well mannered. The manager Martha always has a great attitude and makes sure that her staff is doing everything in there power to make the experience as pleasant as can be. Food is delicious and well made. No complaints“

“Was visiting my mom but left her casa hungry. I stopped by looking for authentic mex food and found it. I'm not sure which part of Mexico the family that runs this place is from so I something I'm more familiar so I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was really good with the chili sauce. Only thing missing was horchata. I washed it down with grapefruit jarrito. I paid in cash not sure if cc accepted. Next time I will see if they have a house special like dish more known in there hometown“

“Like these Quesa Birria [Original] Como estas quesa birrias ningunas berdadera mente deliciosas extra ordinarias se las rrecomiendo atodo parison ballan i deleitense unas autenticas quesabirrias i que nosediga del consome la señorita que atiende mis rrespetos sin duda exelente ambiente“

“Just ordered, chicken tostadas, chicken flautas, chicken burrito and churrasco con camarones. I'm a very SATISFIED CUSTOMER. Food DELICIOUS Delivery super fast. THANK YOU“

“La comida es muy buena pero la atención es horrible las mujeres que últimamente ponen que son con acento peruano atienden mal al cliente,te gritan en el teléfono,al parecer no les gusta atender,y se enojan porque no saben los platillos mexicanos 😕😞“

“Small, no frills, Mexican mom and pop place with baked goods (conchas , pan dulce) and home cooking and Mexican street food (tacos, huaraches, burritos, tortas, sopes etc etc) ... I had the huaraches al pastor ($13) and a jarrito. They were very good, and proper ..the portions were big. I was expecting 1 big huarache but I got 3 small ones, which is good because they were so filling I ate 2 and brought the 3rd home. I would go here again. I want to try the tacos which all the other tables were eating on their lunch hour.“

“Great food and service! Very generous! Always supporting our local schools and sports teams!“

“My wife and myself were at Latin American Restaurant in Boonton, NJ. We are from out of town looking for home cooking, let me tell you, this was the most delicious food we've had since we've been here. The restaurant is clean and the owner stayed and talked to us for a long while. I had the steak smothered with onions, salad, white rice, black beans and maduros(sweet plantains). You get large portions, my wife took her left overs to the hotel for later. My wife is a very picky eater and she loved everything that was served. The staff was great and we felt very comfortable taking our time with our dinner. We surely will be back before we go home and will recommend this restaurant to our friends and family.“

“Very good!! Deff will be returning !“

“I love this place, the food is really good, they are clean, and the staffis always very friendly to me. I always tip extra. They deserve it. Jagger is really good at management, the way he runs that store is how you want an establishment to be when you are visiting to eat.“

“Paterson has a lot of good Mexican food and El Rincon has to be somewhere at the top of the list. I am not sure how authentic these nachos cantinero are but they taste amazing. I frequently order their quesadillas de pollo, tamales verde, tamales de Rajas (stuffed with peppers and cheese), and their tacos de bistec. Call them. You won't be disappointed. Btw... their prices are cheap for the quantity of food that your getting.“

“muy amables y servisiales“

“Absolutely thrilled with my experience at the Cathedral Restaurant in Paterson! The tacos were a flavor explosion – the aroma alone was enough to captivate my senses. Conveniently located in the heart of Paterson with ample parking, it's a gem worth discovering. The customer service was top-notch, making the overall visit delightful. I can't recommend this place enough – a must-try for anyone craving a culinary adventure!“
