50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Westwood

“As a Hispanic person in a predominantly white town like Westwood, the rate on this store does not match their true authenticity. This is what a true Mexican restaurant is like and the ambience matches that as well. The food is incredible and despite its look I promise you this is as close as you can get to a perfect taco. I recommend a classic bistec taco and a tall glass bottle of coke. This is extremely refreshing to feel and see my culture up close and feel close to home even here in Jersey. Again I’ve been eating tacos my ENTIRE life and can confirm this place deserves 5 stars. You don’t need an extremely fancy set up or overpriced anything to make the food taste better. This is overall the one of the best Mexican restaurants in the county.“

“Excellent service, friendly staff, great food!“

“Drove all the way here from New Jersey and it was worth the drive!!!!!!! 20/10 food & customer service! Luz was very welcoming and gave great recommendations. The guac and chips didn’t last for too long as you can tell by the picture. but the quesabirria, enchilada and tacos are a must buy!! i’ll probably be back to eat tomorrow lol“

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

“Best tacos ever . I’ve been a client since the Sombrero truck on Market St in between Checkers and post office . Then they moved to union blvd . I’ve taken my immediate family ,taken friends , when my outer states visitors come is the first place they get taken to also!! Really everything is made fresh and there’s not one dish I can pick over another !! Can’t wait to get back from Puerto Rico to get some real tacos !!! Pa alante !!!“

“Best Mexican place in NJ and PA combined. I’ve had lots of Mexican food from many places and this place blows all others out of the water. Genuinely a perfect 10/10 authentic Mexican food restaurant. The employees are also very kind and willing to converse.“

“i never had a burrito in my life and never planned on having one but when i had there chicken burrito i fell in love and only get burritos from here faithfully. I even worked at chipotle for sum time and didn’t even eat burritos there. this is the spot ive been coming here for years but every couple of
months cause i live far. but i make sure i make that trip everytime im around. last time i ate at the place they treated me like family. they insisted i pay after my meal and im done and kept attending to me with either extra suace or a drink. i love them it’s like a homey mexican kitchen that ur teleported in.“

“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!“

“I visited this place for the first time, and they have some of the most delicious chicken and beef bowls I’ve ever had. The food was excellent, the location is great with plenty of parking, and the flavors were outstanding. This is definitely a spot everyone should visit whenever they’re in the area.“

“Recently had my daughters graduation party at Agave. Isaac, the owner was extremely helpful and the staff worked very hard to make sure my party ran smoothly. The food and cocktails were fantastic. We had a party of 50+ with a DJ and had plenty of room dinner and dancing. The party was very affordable! Would definitely recommend!!“

“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.“

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

“This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back“

“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.“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“Muy rica comida 🥘 excelente servicio muy atentas y amables lo recomiendo 💯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place is a must-go to spot. I got the tamales preparados and they were soo good. The tamales were generously sized, filled with plenty of chicken, and not overly oily. In addition, the prices were very reasonable. What truly made the experience welcoming, however, were the owners themselves. They were kind, friendly, and it’s clear they put genuine care into both their food and the business they are running.“

“Food was excellent. Everything that I had was great. Flounder, was fantastic. Great place to eat good service fantastic atmosphere.“

“Decades ago I used to frequent a bar in the Village called Burrito Loco. We always had the same server/bartender. I went there A LOT. Fast forward to about 10 years ago. I was living in Pal Park and I had a craving for Mexican food. I saw this place in Fort Lee and I decided to go there to eat. It's a moderately sized place with nice decorations. Festive, clean and well lit. I'm not sure what I ordered (probably enchiladas or a shrimp dish) but I do remember it being pretty good. During this visit our waiter (the owner) said to me "you used to go to Burrito Loco right? I remember you". What?! I could not believe it! It had been over 2 decades since I had been there! I guess I left a lasting impression back then and hadn't aged much (yellow don't mellow lol). To this day I am still shocked! Anyway, while living in Pal Park I ordered from here once in a while. Delivery always took forever! Currently I live back in my hometown of Englewood. There are a few great authentic Mexican places nearby (no, not Blue Moon. It's not "authentic", it's Tex-mex......I worked there for 4 years a long time ago). I was in the mood for a different Mexican place so I decided to order from here through GrubHub. The food came earlier than estimated and was still nice and hot. Portions were great, order was packed well, and they sent free chips and salsa (I hate when places don't send chips and salsa or bread for free when it's free when you dine in). Everything was very good, but fell short on a couple of things......the shredded beef in the tacos was surprisingly bland. I felt horrible for my man because it was the only thing he had (he doesn't eat rice & beans). My burrito Poblano was awesome BUT not nearly enough of that delicious mole sauce. They need to put some of that sauce inside the burrito too. Overall I will definitely order from here again. Maybe I'll even stop in to say hi to Arturo!“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“Had Chips and Salsa when I sat down then ordered the Chicken Chilaquiles, Chicken Fingers and the Mango Frozen Drink🥭🍸 It was very delicious I ate the whole thing in one sitting and had Flan 🍮 for dessert when I finished! Would definetly come here again! 🇲🇽“

“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 ?“

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

“Food here is amazing and reasonably priced. The margaritas are equally good and it has a relaxing atmosphere, scenic outdoor dining and always friendly service. Don't always get up to Piermont, but when I do it's delicious Mexican food and a yummy drink at this awesome spot!“

We booked Viva Birria for my wife’s 50th birthday party when our normal taco place wasn’t available. I’m so glad we did!

Everything was incredibly flavorful and service was top notch.

Strongly recommend“

“An Exceptional Culinary Experience in New Jersey

This establishment stands out as the premier destination for authentic Mexican cuisine in New Jersey. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a warm and vibrant atmosphere that reflects the heart of Mexican hospitality. The food is consistently outstanding—rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and true to tradition.

What truly elevates the experience, however, is the impeccable service. From the owners to every member of the staff, the team demonstrates genuine care, professionalism, and a passion for creating memorable dining moments. A shining example of excellence in both cuisine and customer service.“

“Had the breakfast burrito 🌯 been wanting to get to this place for a while.

Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good. The chorizo was the one I went with definitely wasn’t disappointed.

I don’t think it’s worth a far drive but if you’re in the area or it’s not completely out your way it’s definitely worth stopping in for a visit. The place does have seating but not a lot of room. There is a park near by and lots of outdoor seating near the area. That’s what I chose to do.

The breakfast burrito price was amazing especially for nyc the food was good quality and really delicious. The sauce everyone was talking about wasn’t over powering. Matter of fact I wish I had more next time I’ll ask for some on the side felt like I needed an extra pump 😂.

I truly enjoyed this place and I’m sure you guys will also the coffee was mid but it’s ok food makes up for it.

Hope you enjoyed this review like always follow me on IG @imbroke_eats and @imbroke_rob

Hope this helped“
