50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Spotswood

“Been telling myself forever to try this place and finally stopped in. Staff was incredibly friendly! The Gorditas were phenomenal and I had the absolute spiciest burrito I’ve ever had in my life that I just could not stop eating! Can’t wait to go back, 6/5 stars!“

“Came in late on a Saturday Afternoon, my wife and I were greeted by two employees Kayla and Jeremy. Rarely do I ever write reviews for places but I must say these two employees had provided such amazing service that I feel compelled to leave this here. Kayla and Jeremy were both attentative and focused on their food prep and neither were annoyed by my wife's dietary restrictions. Kayla even prepped my wife's food separately because of her dietary sensitivities, making sure to use separate spatulas, spoons etc to avoid cross contamination. It isn't often when we go out to a Mexican style restaurant and are greeted so warmly and provided such wonderful service when staff are met with our situation. Jeremy and Kayla were focused, precise and quick preparing our food and their attitudes were both respectful and kind. If you have any dietary concerns or sensitivities know you are in good hands when you stop by this Bubbakoo's Location and are assisted by either Kayla or Jeremy. We look forward to visiting this establishment again in the future.

Food was warm, even after the drive home its kept together well and was still hot following a 20 minute drive, tasted excellent and was a great reminder of why we should return on a taco tuesday.“

“We had a wonderful experience at this Halal Mexican restaurant! The owner is genuinely kind and welcoming, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and very helpful.

We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!“

“Foods awesome here. I've never had a bad meal here and you're definitely full after eating. My only problem is it is a little expensive, otherwise I'd go her almost every work day.

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.

“We order from here all of the time they are always fresh and today we ordered churros and it came as strawberry churros and strawberry ice cream for Valentine’s Day! It was such a nice surprise! I love eating in the establishment but we often order through door dash and they are always perfect“

“I eat food here burrito taste good“

“Best authentic mexican food around. The place is super clean and the people ate very nice with smiles on their faces. Being that we love the food so much and we go quite often I decided to learn Spanish and I communicated what food we wanted in Spanish and to my surprise we got exactly what i asked for. Anyway, I highly recommend this place as the food is so fresh and full of flavor! We get the Empanadas and Huaraches with a side of rice/beans.“

“Taqueria María @ Jamesburg NJ Fresh taste Fresh food Great service I JUST LOVE IT“

“Overall a good experience. I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and we both really enjoyed the atmosphere. They gave her a cute birthday card. The waitress was very attentive, and came back multiple times to make sure everything was going well. The food was good, but my drinks were not. I ordered 2 rum and cokes. The first one tasted like it barely had any rum in it so I got a double and it tasted the same.“

“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!“

“The food tasted great. The service here was good. Wish the best of luck to Edgar and Melliase.“

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

“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.“

“Andre is great. the food is amazing“

“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!“

“I ate at the Monroe store today. I had never been at a Buubakoos before and did not know what to expect. I had the pork burrito and it was off the hook. The place was spotless and the service was spot on. The manager came over and introduced himself as John and asked if everything was satisfactory, and it was more than satisfactory. You would think John was the owner not just the manager, he cared as if was his own business. It was good to see that. I will be back for sure, my new go to place.“

“La primera vez en mi vida que todo es perfecto, la comida la atención TODO me encanto de verdad que lo recomiendo el mejor restaurante de comida mexicana que he probado 💕“

“Great experience,really good food,drinks,very good service and a beautiful place and decorations 😍“

“We had our son's high school graduation dinner here and it was amazing!! I met with Alfredo to come up with a prefix menu for our family gathering. From the appetizer of chicken empanada with all the fixings, to filled burritos of every kind, and the amazing atmosphere, this was an amazing day! Alfredo and his staff were attentive to us and we left with our bellies full of authentic Mexican meals!! We can't wait to go back and enjoy this local restaurant and share more memories and enjoy delicious food!“

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

“Excellent Mexican Food! Our family throughly enjoyed their food! We loved it and will definitely go back again.“

“Amazing food and amazing staff. I ordered a bunch of food for my family and was very impressed with the quality & quantity of the food as well as the service. Will definitely be ordering again!

I would recommend the chicken tamales, the Chicken Mole, and the Bandeja Fiesta platter. It was all incredibly delicious!“

“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.“

“So I found this restaurant on “Perth Amboy Eats” website and wanted to try their $1 tacos and empanadas Tuesday special I payed $8 in total but they missed a taco which is ok because I understand the are busy! Overall the empanadas were good the tacos were underwhelming with flavor (all the flavors) but service was fast and good, and it’s a $1.00 but I’ve had better flavorful tacos for a $1.00 somewhere else, but it’s ok 👍🏽“

“Had to make a visit at Taco Stop Llc in Rt 35 and I was really hungry. Ufffffff - Pork chops I haven’t had in a while and can you believe D Cesiah Jimenez Burgos, owner made ‘tostones’ and of course the chips with guacamole 🥑. Sent my wife in Florida the pictures. Sorry babe. It was AMAZING! TACO STOP, THE PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GO! Recommended 100%+ You won’t regret it!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!!…….“

“Great food tortas de carne enchilada are to die for definitely a must try“

“My sister told me about her local go-to for tacos. I tried the 3 tacos de birria. It was absolutely delicious. Sizeable portion (I was full with 2) and it came with a consome that you could dip the tacos.

Also, the owner is so kind. She wrote a get well note for my mom on her order. I had mentioned that had been sick.

Before leaving the area, I am heading back for another order. Definitely 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. 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“

“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 love this place. Hand made tortillas are really tasty. There isn’t any other lace like this in miles! A local gem! Me gusta mucho y lo recomiendo por encima de los otros que hay alrededor“
