Mexican Restaurants near Totowa

“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.“

“kenny was very nice“

“Okay, as someone who has been to Mexico multiple times, the tacos here are as close to authentic as you can get in our area! I always recommend Tacos Al Pastor. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious! If you're looking for some place quiet, you will be met with Mariachi music, so there's that lol, but this place is not usually packed, so it's not quiet but it's not crowded! Shout out to Yeretzi! Our favorite server whenever we see her :)

Vegetarian options: They have rice, beans, guacamole, cilantro, onions, pineapple, lime, chips, corn and flour tortillas! You could DIY an epic burrito!

Kid-friendliness: It's a safe eating environment and the kids will love the music

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp entrance into the restaurant , so no stairs!“

“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“

“😍 I Love ❤️ their chicken and steak 🥩 tacos 🌮 and their Melanesa steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 🥰❤️“

“The birria tacos were delicious! Excellent service.“

“My husband and I first heard about this place from King Schratz and I’m so glad we did!

Yes, like others have mentioned, it is a bit pricey, but it's absolutely worth it. The food is consistently delicious and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. My husband loves their tacos and burrito, and I’m a big fan of their elotes, tacos and taco bowls. Even my 79-year-old mother, who normally isn’t a fan of Mexican food, loves theirs. That alone says a lot!

Their tres leches is also incredible. I’ve sampled a lot of tres leches cakes in my life and theirs easily jumped to the top of my list.

Beyond the food, the customer service is just as impressive. Two of the owners, Jay and Kike, are always so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They even offer delivery, and their driver, Juan, is just as awesome! In this day and age, it’s rare to find a Mexican spot that’s both authentic and Latino-owned... and Just Tacos is exactly that. We’re more than happy to keep supporting them!“

“A great new addition to the Livingston Circle. Everything that I have tried off the menu was fantastic. Especially the quesadillas, fries and the dessert options. They even have a mobile app for ordering and rewards. Highly recommended if you love great Mexican food.“

“Ordered via uber eats tonight . I've wanted to try for awhile (since I did a delivery for Feed the Frontlines) and I wasn't disappointed! We shared several items and they were all yummy! I will definitely order again.“

“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“

“We had a wonderful anniversary celebration with friends at Uno Mas Saturday night. Delicious food, great service, and super friendly vibe!“

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“happy hour! The food was excellent — you can tell it’s made by someone with authentic Spanish roots. Plenty of parking and the drinks were solid. The guacamole was a bit too salty for our taste, but overall we enjoyed it. For a family of four to eat enough during happy hour, expect to spend around $120, which was the only downside for us. Still a very good experience!“

“first time here very impressed the food was too perfection will be back with more people“

“Queridos Alex y María, Desde el principio captaron mi atención. Su huella en la industria es única; a lo largo de los años, su constancia ha sido de primera. Oro para que cada proyecto en el que se aventuren multiplique su fe en Dios.“

“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 🙏🏽“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“I have eaten here multiple times and have always received delicious meals from this establishment. It’s so flavorful that it makes you stop and enjoy it fully to appreciate every bite. They also have traditional Mexican candy there that are worth the try! Will continue to be a repeated, happy customer :)“

“WOW. I’m honestly speechless and that’s saying a lot, especially since the place was busy.

The birria tacos were out of this world. Full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and every bite delivered. What really impressed me was the consistency. When I ordered again, the tacos came out in less than five minutes just as the first time and tasted just as amazing as the first round. Drink quality also on point!

The service was attentive and on point the entire time. A special shout out to Helen for her excellent attention and genuine care. She truly elevated the experience.

There is parking available, which is a huge plus. Overall, this was a standout experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Haciendas Campus. I’ll definitely be back. Lastly price wise, very reasonable!“

“deliciosos los tacos de huitlacohe“

“Ordered through GrubHub and my order was stolen. The hostess worked with me for the next 30 minutes trying to correct this mistake and even comped one of my items after they offered for one of their own drivers to deliver the remade order. Will definitely order with them again.“

“The food was absolutely amazing and the owners extremely friendly. This place is a diamond in the rough for sure! Value is beyond reasonable as a matter of fact I've payed twice as much in other places and received much less! We will be back!!“

“excelente lugar para compartir en familia chicharrón el payaso mago 732 621 9305“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

“Great authentic Mexican restaurant. My favorite is the shrimp à la Mexicans with rice and refried beans. Shrimp are usually a nice size and seem to be fresh. Love that the sauce is freshly made. My family usually orders the chicken quesadilla, shrimp or pork burrito, tamales de carnitas just to list a few. This is truly a weekly go to spot for us.“

“Great place to eat . I love the food and atmospheres.. Go for the chicken chimichangas!!!“

“My friend Mari invited to me to eat a Mexican food, she is from Ecuador, I ‘ am from México , I really enjoyed it! I really recommend to anyone because it is the authentic Mexican food? the owners are so friendly ?“

“Ate here on Sunday. Nice ambience inside, food was exceptional. Not the usual take on Mexican food. Everything was very fresh & obviously cooked for the order (not in advance ) Nachos & Guacamole are great starters. Just be patient because since everything is cooked on order, you have to wait a little more than usual. It's not bad service, it's worth waiting. Also another "nice touch", the menus are tablets, If you want Mexican you won't go wrong here.“

“From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff at this restaurant truly go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, they treat you like family—always attentive, courteous, and happy to offer recommendations. Their friendly nature adds a personal touch to the dining experience, making it not just a meal, but a moment to remember.“

“Was our first time. The gentleman ran out to help my boyfriend in a wheelchair to get in. The food was delicious. We definitely will be back and will tell some friends“

“We have visited this restaurant on multiple occasions and have had great experiences every single time.

Food is delicious & affordable! The staff is friendly and attentive! 🙂
On a couple of occasions we've had to wait to be seated (due to the popularity!) but our wait has never been over 20 mins.

All in all, definitely recommend for yummy, authentic mexican food at an unbeatable price!“

“Probably spend $15-$20pp if you're solo. Recommend getting a combo, and then ordering single items, if you want to try other things, which is what I did. This spot makes legit birria. I got there early before all the other food trucks lined up, and began playing music. Could be a vibe in the afternoon or evenings.“

“Funny with great food and service“

“los tacos las sopas y todo lo bueno que tiene“

“Very good environment and nice spacing between seats. Good atmosphere and delicious food! Employees are hard working and caring!! Highly recommend !!“

“I’m not a big review guy but this place is one of those exceptions because of how FANTASTIC the food here is. I don’t eat out much and prefer eating healthier at home because eating out makes me feel bad BUT THIS PLACE NEVER makes me feel like poop. A+++++++ “

“amazing food and service couldn't ask for a better place for a quick and easy dinner“

“What do you do when your son eats your leftover enchiladas on Friday night? You go back on Saturday! Husband had the steak salad. Lots of steak.“

“Went to eat lunch with my mom. The server Ethan was great did a great job had a great smile I’ll def be back“

“Loved it! Guacamole with fried plantains was delicious. I had the steak with garlic shrimp, very good. My friends enjoyed their dishes too. Drinks were also great- I had the Cucumber Margarita with Don Julio & it was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Trendy atmosphere and cool murals. Service was wonderful- friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. Will definitely be back.“

“From the moment we walked in, the service at Dulce Patria was incredible. We were warmly welcomed right away, and the ambience is absolutely beautiful with plenty of great spots for photos. Our server, Natasha, was amazing and took the time to explain all their promotions, including a great happy hour menu. We tried the Tussi Roll, Dominican Power, and Cuban Tempora sushi rolls. Each one was full of flavor, and I was honestly impressed by how good they were. My friend ordered the Bad Bunny drink and the Beso de Coco. She enjoyed both, but the coconut one was her favorite and she definitely recommends it for coconut lovers. Parking isn’t the greatest in the area, but this place is absolutely worth the effort to find a spot. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back with more friends.“

“Great food and prices.... the servers are excellent and attentive. I been there at least 10 times and it never dissapoint. I highly recommend it“

“Hands down one of the greatest places to eat full of flavor and the food is so fresh 100% would really“
