50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wallington

“When I walked in I was casually greeted by a lovely hostess. She was super professional and so was the service at the bar. The team prefers Spanish but they go out of their comfort zone to make you feel good in English. The food, prices and drinks are worth it. Nice work 1/27/2024“

“Service was really great. We received complimentary drinks. Food was great. Drinks were good. Pricing for the drinks is as expected considering the name of the place. Atmosphere was great. Very nicely decorated. We were quickly sat down, no wait on a Friday night. Parking could be a hassle.“

“I stopped by for drinks around 7pm on a Saturday with some friends. Thankfully there was a table available and we were seated right away. Bosco's has an extensive drink menu, and happy hour if you go during certain times on weekdays. The drinks were average NY prices, and were very good. I got the Sam Said So, while my friend got a Negroni. Both were very good! The service was great, and the decor was fun.“

“We walked by Sombrero Restaurant last night needing a place to eat before a 7pm show. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was clean and lively. The wait staff was friendly and the food/beverages were excellent. Prices were very reasonable. A great choice. Definitely recommend.“

“Before I even lived in the neighborhood Jajaja was easily one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I have brought so many friends here because it is perfect from anywhere to a date night to a chill lunch/dinner to catch up with friends. Their cocktails are amazing especially their version of an espresso martini. All of the staff is so friendly and always make sure you're taken care of at all times. On top of everything and most importantly the food is AMAZING. Although I am not vegan anymore, I still can call this my favorite restaurant because they do everything on their menu so well and it's rare in my experience where vegan food is indistinguishable from non-plant based food and my favorite is the enchiladas mole. Highly recommend!“

“Went to Superbueno after the Bad Bunny conocer with my friends. We were able to be seated ride away, our drinks were tasty and pork belly tacos savory, rich with flavor. My mouth is legit watery thinking back about it. The music and vibe was popping. But what stood out to me the most was the service and workers, they looked like they enjoyed working there, all smiles and friendly. I love that. Would definitely come back!“

“Had a birthday celebration here and the food was so delicious. Staff super friendly. The place itself was LES style, seemingly cramped but as a native I know that’s just how things were built back then. Glad my sister made the reservation to eat here ✨“

“Amazing tacos that are vegan! So delicious with good flavors and ingredients. We had the huilacoche, buffalo flower, and jackfruit carnitas. For drinks the popcorn y pasion was so smoothe, sweet and savory. Interior vibes was also so pretty! Highly recommend!“

“Best cuban food!!!! The elote was grilled and seasoned to perfection! The plantains were also crispy and soooo flavorful! Iris was very attentive and super kind! Service was fast and efficient! The spicy margarita was delicious! Overall, great experience, awesome good and outstanding service!“

“Folks from California in particular like to complain that New York doesn't have good Mexican food, which is of course patently untrue. You just have to know where to look, what to order. I got the poblano mole here which I would definitely recommend. (I also had the handmade tortillas with this.) My husband got a burrito, which was fine, I think, but no "mission burrito" (IYKYK). Both of us had clean plates though -- the testament of a good meal I thought the salsas that came with the chips and salsa were all pretty good too. Nothing was mind blowing but the service was super friendly and I walked away with my food cravings pretty satisfied.“

“We came here on the recommendation of a friend and even with her glowing review, we were still blown away! Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were a steal. Our family had the truffle quesadillas, the carne asada tacos, and the langosta tacos. We shared an order of guac and the kids had the flan and churros for dessert. Great dinner; we can't wait to return!“

“After being delighted by our first Los Tacos No 1 experience, we headed to Los Mariscos for our last food stop before leaving NYC. We ate it on the bus, so my memories are a bit blurry.The ceviche especial ($7.50) was delicious! I loved the crispy tostada and the savory citrusy flavors. I think there could've been a higher seafood:vegetable ratio, but the flavors and textures made up for the sparse amount of seafood.I tried the tacos a bit past their peak, but they were still pretty good. Overall I think I prefer the meats I had at Los Tacos, but it's hard to compare since I didn't have the seafood tacos fresh.I definitely want to return and dine in!“

“We enjoyed the food and amazing service here. The ambiance is cozy and perfect if you’re going in a date night.Also this is a BYOB place so you can get your own bottle.The Guac & chips were fresh and delicious.The tacos were good too.We also tried a new dish - Salta Patras Ceviche and it was delicious.Special mentioned to the Tres leches which wasn’t over sweet.Definitely try out this place. It deserves more spotlight.“

“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.“

“Mamsitas offers an authentic Mexican dining experience with vibrant decor and a lively atmosphere. The menu features standout dishes like handcrafted tacos and rich mole poblano. The service is friendly and efficient, making for a pleasant meal from start to finish. With reasonable prices and delicious margaritas, Mamsitas is a fantastic choice for anyone craving genuine Mexican flavors in a festive setting. Highly recommended for a casual dinner or a festive night out!“

“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“

“Recent dinner at Tacombi definitely hit the spot. The tacos are packed with well seasoned meat, the crispy fish was nicely dressed with slaw and sauce, the salsa are delicious and pack a nice little punch. The tostada was crispy with a flavorful avocado topping and the quesadilla just barely visible under the mountain of Al pastor. My michelada was nice but I'd give the agave wine margs a pass if you're a marg purist. Juan Carlos took great care of us. On hand just when we needed with what we needed, friendly, and left us plenty of time to chow and digest before sending us on our merry way. We really enjoyed the little cabana - it's nice when the COVID inspired street cabana matches the good vibes indoors so even the dog can enjoy the night out.“

“Easily one of my favorite al vegan spots in Manhattan (and there are plenty to chose from). Went for brunch with non-vegan friends and family and EVERYONE loved it - clean plate club all around. Highlight for me was easily the corn ribs. Don't pass on the churros either. Family loved the nachos. Great atmosphere too, vibey without the music blasting so you can actually have a nice conversation. Definitely one of my favorite spots to date.“

“I'll keep this short and to the point: this is the best burrito I've had in the city hands down, and it's not close. Everything fresh and phenomenally seasoned, the lengua is succulent, the al pastor just the right spicy-sweet mix, I can't wait to try a few more meats. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out quick. As far as ambiance, getting in and out of there in record time is all you really want from a food truck. The best.“

“Amazing food and service! We ordered the beef nachos to share and I got the taco with steak and boy do they bless it with the portions! I was visiting and a friend brought me here so definitely would want to come back next time I’m around!“

“This was a delivery order and it was my first time. Mexican food can be hit or miss, especially from city to city. This was a hit right out of the park. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with guacamole and chips, and one side of salsa and a side of guacamole. Portions were impressively large. The burrito was a 10 out of 10. The guacamole was also a 10 and the price for all of it was very reasonable, especially for NYC. This place is a game changer. Whatever you're doing... Keep on doing it!“

“Ive been here a couple of times and as a LA native, this place definitely makes tacos that remind me of home. There is only outdoor seating so I would keep that in mind if you plan on visiting during colder weather. But The tacos were delicious and I got way more queso and chips than I was expecting. They were sold out the last time I stopped by so that should give you a good idea of the quality of the food.“

“I’ve been to different locations of la fortaleza but this one is by far the best. Incredibly great service and the food was so good. Karen made our experience incredible and gave us amazing service. My wife had the chilaquiles and I had chiles rellenos I loved it.“

“I've gone 2 times within the past 2 weeks and I'm hooked. You might not expect it walking in, but it's the perfect little gem for Hackensack. The taco tuesday specials are great but the delicious tacos make it more worth it. The margaritas are yummy too“

“Best tacos in New York CityWhen I come to New York, all I think about is Rostaco.It's really delicious here tooTacos and Consome are steamedIf you see it while passing by, be sure to try it!!!This is a really good restaurant that locals know!!!“

“Stop by for dinner without a reservation and The Manager and hostess were very accommodating on a very busy night . We had the fish empanadas that were deliciousA couple of MargaritasGrilled Branzino and fish schnitzelA wonderful experienceKudos to the CheffExcellent service, fantastic food and great atmosphere!Definitely a special place“

“Sloppy and yummy Mexican tacos. So so so good! The taste was great, so flavourful. The soup next to it was perfect. I would highly recommend this place. Price was a little steep for my understanding but maybe that’s just the area. Friendly staff, cute atmosphere and great taste. What a dinner! Be prepared to get your hands dirty!“

“I love coming to this location! The service is always on point. Attentive waitstaff and fresh tasting food. The drinks are delicious as well. The ambiance is so nice and the music was a nice mix of Spanish music. If you're lucky enough to have Luis as your server he is amazing!“

“lovely hidden gem on Avenue A between 13th and 14th streets. The place is family owned and operated and the food is to do for. It is reasonably priced, I often find myself trying to figure out if I want a tamale or a shredded beef or pork taco.“

“We loved the bottomless brunch experience here, just $30 for 90 minutes and the drinks were strong! I loved the breakfast burrito and French toast, and the Queso FUNDIDO to start!Amazing and attentive service and a space that was great for our birthday brunch!“

“Service was really great, all of the different positions of staff were very attentive! Go for the guac and 7 salsas, will not disappoint. The criticisms, I had were surrounding the price points, and menu variety. The prices were absolutely too high for the portions! I understand a small, curated menu, but it was too eclectic for what it was!“

“It was my first time visiting here. It was an amazing experience!.? You must try the frozen margaritas. ?The customer service was outstanding.????? While at the bar "Alexa" was very attentive to all out needs and making sure we had the best experience ever! I would definitely come back soon! I'm gonna recommend this place to my family and friends!??“

“We celebrated my bestfriend birthday here and our server marina was amazing please make sure to ask for her. The customer service was immaculate. The manager touched the rouble and converted with us about our experience.definitely a must go we will be back again and tell all our family and friends.“

“Came to this place not knowing what to expect but saw lots of great reviews and I can absolutely say it lived up to its ratings. Me and the fam got to try the tenders(hugee), ribs, rotisserie chicken, burgers, general tsos and chopped cheese sandwich and OH MY was it DELICIOUS. The people here were also very friendly and accommodating, they also had good music playing in the background. Definitely recommend this spot to anyone in or out of town. I will be coming back for more as it seems they updated their menu with some great new stuff that I can't wait to try. Small but tasty restaurant!Vegetarian options: Veggie Panini, Veggie Wrap, Veggie Burrito and Veggie BurgerKid-friendliness: Very Friendly and have kid options.“

“Nice atmosphere, really tasty and cheap meals. We had lunch, 2 people for $26 which is great for the area. Very generous plates and burritos, with drink included and little carrot cake for desert. Only if you really eat a lot will be able to finish the plate! Recommend!!“

“Caliente Cab Co. is a fantastic Mexican restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The waitress was incredibly helpful, offering insightful recommendations that enhanced my meal. I decided to try their popular spicy watermelon margarita, which perfectly complemented the flavorful blackened shrimp tacos and their mouthwatering shrimp taco salad. Can't wait to return for another delightful visit!“

“This is one of my favorite spots in the city. I've gone 3 times and everyone I bring here absolutely loves it. The food is incredible and reasonably priced. The restaruant is youthful and lively (though it depends on what time you go-I've only gone later in the evening so the crowd tends to be younger). The food like high-end Mexican food without an outrageous price tag. I like how each taco order comes with one so you can mix and match-I recommend the cauliflower taco and the birria tacos. Also the guacamole order comes cold with a BIG bowl of guac and unlimited chips, amazing. I've only had positive experiences with the servers, and the margaritas are delicious. If you're with a group, I recommend a pitcher (you get about 7-8 drinks for 75-85$) Overall a staple spot in the east village. Highly highly recommend.“

“The exquisite food with a flavor of Mexico, the excellent service Valeria and Irma are always friendly and attentive to their customers, they are two of the best, from the Passaic Fortress 204 Hope Ave we are in the county of Ocean County and we travel more than once time to enjoy the best authentic Mexican food, and the excellent service of Valeria and Irma and thanks to the entire team that makes up the fortress of hope ????????????????“

“This place is amazing! I took my aunt's from out of town and they just had a great time! The food is spectacular. The best chicken enchiladas I have had and I am from Texas so that says a lot. The fish dishes are amazing. I got to get a taste from my aunt's plates. The margaritas are the best I have had in years. My aunt's are margarita connoisseurs and they loved the top shelf and the watermelon. I thought the watermelon was smooth and crisp with a hint of fun. We sat at the bar and the bartender Luis was just the best. He helped elevate the night with recommendations and brought a spirit of fun and enjoyment to the ambiance. He was very knowledgeable on the food, the drinks, and the regulars. He still took the time to take care of the new people who are learning the ropes at the place. The crowd was very respectful and happy to be there and you could tell that the regulars are in a good mood. Sebastian was just lovely and found a way to make sure we got to enjoy the night with good seats. The family ambiance that created this restaurant is felt in the food and the details that combined make this restaurant a gem. I highly recommend it.“

“I went to this place and I have to say that Eliana was amazing. She suggested me to have the carne asada. She provided amazing service, Excellent choices. The margarita and mezcalita delusions. I Definitely will come back again to this place.“

“Had seen this pop up on instagram and looked absolutely amazing, so made a reservation here for my first night in NYC. I am always up to try a 100% gluten free restaurant, especially when it is entirely plant-based since I am dairy free as well! It’s a rare occasion where I can order anything on the menu and the experience did not disappoint. The staff was extremely friendly and despite being very busy, I never felt as if I was kept waiting. I opted for the nachos since I couldn’t remember the last time I was able to order nachos at a restaurant. What arrived was something resembling a work of art–a tower of nachos stacked layer by layer with toppings–guacamole, vegan chorizo - so good!, vegan queso, vegan sour cream, beans, salsa, jalapenos. The portion was way too big just for one person so it’s all that I ordered that evening, even though I had been eyeing the empanadas (which I ended up ordering for lunch a few days later bc I couldn’t get them out of my mind). I’d say they were just okay, but I’m glad I tried them. The nachos definitely take the cake and I would order them again without a doubt. Highly recommend Bar Verde for its friendly service and delicious food!“

“The birria tacos were yummy but they were exceptionally good after dipping in the consomé. A flavorful combo that you shouldn’t miss. FYI all the meat used are halal! This is a great quick bite spot for cheap eats before I get my pay check.＊Beef Al Pastor Birria Taco**＊Chicken Birria TacoThe taco shell was thin and slightly crispy. I was really skeptical about adding pineapples to beef tacos (I don’t like pineapple…) but the fruit actually went along well with fresh cilantro and meat.For the protein choices, the slow-cooked pulled beef was so juicy and tender. We found the chicken a bit dry, but it still tasted delicious after dipping in the soup. Both the meat and the sauces served on the side weren’t spicy.＊Consomé (small)There were plenty of shredded beef and cilantro in the consomé, so so so flavorful. I felt like a small size was good enough for dipping, as it was quite salty to drink the soup by itself.“

“Recently hosted the BEST private party at Tampico! Joe was great to work with - super quick with responses and very helpful in getting me all the information I needed. The bartenders amazing and very friendly all throughout the night. Overall Tampico was very spacious and the perfect vibe. Would HIGHLY recommend for any size group to host your next event here!“

“Came here for some post-work happy hour margs w/ coworkers and it is the perfect spot for that. Lowkey atmosphere, a little cramped but not too bad compared to other bars in the area. The photo I took does NOT do this justice but I might just have to say that these could be the best tacos I've ever had. Cauliflower tacos for all my veggie friends out there - an absolute must. Chips and guac came with absolutely ample chips in a way I haven't seen a restaurant do in quite some time. Food came out super fast but in a way that didn't make us feel rushed. Will 1000% be back.“

“Thank you very much for this moment. Excellent food, attentive service with good advice. The service team is superbDish: mole del puebla and vg quesadillasNacho starterDessert: plantain flambéed with rum and scoop of vanilla ice creamDrink: large iced lemon margaritaSee you soon ❤️“

“Ate at Ponche Taqueria yesterday with a friend before seeing a show. Great food, and freindly service! Menu is basic, but offers plenty. Guacamole was delicious as were the taco combo plates! Get off the beaten path a bit & you will be rewarded!“

“I was so happy when this place moved into the area, because there are very few good options for Mexican food, or at least there were. This place is really amazing there meat is fresh, their vegetables are fresh and their tacos are really great. The staff is super nice. The taco al Pastor here might be among the best in the city only because the pineapple is cooked on the grill and it’s really nice. That charred caramelized pineapple as a real beautiful flavor. Reasonable prices too.“

“The place offers Mexican food, unfortunately the version of tlayuda they offer is very different from the original from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Rather it is a toast with simply meat sighs but still, the flavor is rich as are the cocktails they offer. The place is very nice and the service is excellent. If you do not speak English, the staff can provide you with service in Spanish so that you can enjoy the place and feel comfortable. Without a doubt a great option for a meeting between friends.“

“When I find a gem, I share it! Yes, yes, yes! Hallelujah to good food! We were trying to find some tacos to eat before going home and I came across a little taco truck that I had to try! They have the pastor tacos in the traditional rotating-roster, and they were delish! I also had an elote ? with everything, and a tiny bit of the powder-picante was enough for me to get a kick of spice in my mouth that turned on all the right taste buds! The lady who took care of us was polite, fast, and so kind! I will definitely be back to try the other tacos they have!!“

“El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone! A wonderful place to practice my spanish! El Ranchero es mi taquería favorita. Los tacos son los mejores de la zona y el mole es delicioso. La comida es fresca y el servicio es fantástico. ¡Yo recomiendo esto a cualquiera!“
