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.“

“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 am not a big taco fan but these tacos were sooo good. They put an avocado sauce on top that tastes fantastic. And they are prices are pretty average for most taco spots. I had the quesabirria tacos- delicious!! It’s so great to finally have an authentic and tasty taco spot in Garfield. And the staff was so sweet and friendly. They gave my friend and I rose for Valentine’s Day. I will definitely be back!! 🥰“

“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 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“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“

“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!“

“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 🌮“

“My experience at Tacoria was honestly amazing. The food was really good, especially the steak burrito box it was fresh, flavorful, and definitely lived up to the hype. What made the visit even better was the service. Rachel helped me out, and she was super friendly and easy to talk to. She made sure everything was right with my order and kept things moving smoothly even though it was busy. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and actually cares about the customers, which made the whole experience even better.“

“I really like this place, especially the juice; it's delicious.“

“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 :)“

“Hacienda Restaurant meet the best standards that we requested to enjoy a good time with a quality services.“

“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!!“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Carlos Mexican Kitchen in Little Falls is hands down the best Mexican restaurant around — no contest. From the moment the food hits the table, you know everything is made fresh, authentic, and with serious care. The dishes are bursting with flavor and come in generous portions, so you never leave hungry.

The salsa dips alone are worth the visit— bold, vibrant, and completely addictive. And the corn quesadilla is to die for. Perfectly prepared, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you find yourself craving again the next day.

What makes this place truly special is how the food transports you straight to a local home in the heart of Mexico. It’s warm, authentic, and full of soul. Nothing feels commercial or rushed — just real Mexican cooking done right.

Also a huge plus: there are several great vegetarian options, which are just as thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

If you love authentic Mexican food, incredible salsa, and meals that feel homemade in the best possible way, Carlos Mexican Kitchen is an absolute must.“

“I wanna give a big thank you to our waiter Carlos we had a party of 13 ppl and we all enjoyed ourselves the service was an amazing experience!!! We will definitely go there again everything was worth it:) THANK YOU CARLOS“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Funny with great food and service“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“
