37 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wharton

“This was the BEST food I’ve ever had at a Taco Bell in my entire life. I was passing through, and stopped for a quick bite. It so so so good. I don’t think I’ve ever had more flavorful food at Taco Bell before. It’s usually just my go to for quick, cheap, protein-filled food, but this was actually good food.“

“Food is delicious, my favorite are the Tacos Al Pastor they really taste like authentic Mexican tacos! All staff is super friendly!“

“Very happy to see this place continue to flourish after changing locations, and to see the same faces, too. The kids that work the register/answer the phone are always very friendly and polite, which is hard to come by these days.

As far as the food goes, I could blindfold myself and point to something random on the menu and still be blown away. Besides the typical crowd pleasers, do not sleep on the tortas, tostadas, or serrano salsa.

Seems to still be a local spot that has not been gentrified by 27 year olds that moved out of Hoboken and the city. I would go to war for Macho Nacho!“

“Exceptionally authentic Mexican cuisine. Friendly and attentive service in an inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“Incredible place, Rice is delicious and ceviche must be the best I had and is right here in town!!!courteous staff as well.“

“Tried to go to Sofias Taco and Taqueria which opened today .they were too busy so we decided to try this place instead.Best decision! The food was so good and the staff was so friendly! I don’t even want to try Any other places now! Definitely be back and wish I have gone sooner“

“Just tried this place out to see if the high rating was real or not. The real reason is we hoped the positive reviews were true. We got tacos with rice and beans. Simple dish, but it's smell and taste were through the roof perfection. Three warm savory corn tortillas for each and each delectable. It reminded me of the best Mexican street food, only better, I had a seat! The staff is basically all family and THAT alone says something about the care behind every dish.“

“The food was very good; many great choices. It all arrived nice & hot - we had the chimichanga, enchiladas, and steak tacos. The mocktails are delicious; the Tres Leche was outstanding!! All staff were very nice, attentive but gave diners space to enjoy the ambiance and talk while eating.“

“La comida y la atención están muy bien al igual que la decoración. La tienda es espectacular. Lo que no nos gustó fue la música. Se supone que es un restaurante típico mexicano, entonces debería tener musica mexicana.“

“Muchos años de ser clientes y siempre con una buena atención!!!“

“yep good food ill come back for sure“

“Great tequila selection 👍 Sebastian, the bartender was fantastic.“

“Totally enjoyed the fish tacos and nachos, especially knowing they have a dedicated fryer for gluten free people like me.“

“Best Mexican food. Food is always fresh an hot I have been going to Don Jose for many years At first I was going to the Don Jose in East Hanover before they opened Netting location. Netcong has a bar best Margartia's never had a complaint. Staff very friendly! It's my favorite Mexican Restaurant.“

“I recently had my daughter’s Bridal shower here and the food, drinks, service and atmosphere were excellent! I would definitely recommend Nom if you are looking to host a private event.“

“I walked in out of the blue. The place is quiet and unassuming. I was greeted as I approached the counter. They were very, very welcoming. After a little bit it was like we knew each other well. They made me feel very comfortable. The food was very good with lots of flavor. My order came out relatively quick. We talked and I watched the game (MTY vs AME). I had a great experience and was very impressed with this place. I highly recommend anyone give it a try. Also, prices are very good and worth every penny!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't say enough good things about Riviera Maya Mexican in Rockaway! This place has quickly become a favorite stop for me and my fellow soldiers during our drill weekends. The food is consistently fresh and absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options that never disappoint.

The service is always fast and friendly, making us feel right at home every time we visit. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure we have a great experience, which is truly appreciated, especially when we come in with a group of about a dozen.

If you're looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Riviera Maya Mexican. Highly recommend!“

“If you want real tacos come here. I ordered the tacos al pastor and when they were ready I went to add spice, cilantro, and onion to my liking. The spice is strong haha. I love the food, my brother ordered tacos birrias. I highly recommend you go to this restaurant the next time you crave tacos/Mexican food!“

“Great food and nice portions at a very fair price. Waitress service was top notch 👌.“

“Lugar encantador con buen servicio y deliciosa cómoda mexicana .“

“It's a Great looking restaurant that provides indoor and outdoor seating. We have been doing our rounds in Morristown all summer, and this place made the list. The food was really fresh and tasty. Wish they had iced tea, but the bottled water was sufficient. The bbq nachos were very good and different than what you get from most places. My one suggestion is having a physical menu for your location. It's hard to have a no phone rule when you have to use it for the menu. Also, the landing page provides too many options. Too much work. I am old school and like a physical menu. Won't hold back that 5 star based on my menu preference, but hopefully, they will consider. I will go back again to try some more of their menu.“

“Great atmosphere, but the food is meh. I think it's too Americanized, with no real depth of flavor or spice. The variety of salsas available for self-service was good, but no kick in any of them, not even in the habanero.

The vibe and music were very good. If you go here more to hang out with friends, it's enjoyable, but not if you are look for a good meal.“

“The pozole roja was the best I've had in a while. The past 3 restaurants were nowhere near as good as 5 brothers pozole. The pork tacos, the same. Pork was crispy and well made. Everything impressed me. My new go to for Mexican food in the area.“

“Honestly one of the best carnita burritos I’ve had and definitely the BEST molè ever! Nachos were great. We did DoorDash and the food was as if we were eating at the restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“I really like this restaurant. I like to sit at the tables and seats next to the windows where I can see everything that happens in the corner...the waitresses are very friendly and the service is fast. The coffee is always fresh. I really enjoy the simplicity of the place, without culinary pretensions, Mexican food for Mexicans, simple and delicious in my opinion, without DRAMA (by the way, I'm Colombian). The prices are definitely very reasonable.
One star reviews are a joke! What are you expecting to find all these 'Drama queens' and 'Karens' in a small traditional Mexican restaurant in Dover NJ? The people are definitely toast!“

“Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine! If you are looking for a taste of Mexico then look no further, Brenda Lee is it. I have found the food quality and taste to be consistently high and the service is great. It is my go to place for Mexican food.“

“Beautiful decor. Food was delicious and presentation was lovely. Great service as well. I will definitely be back!“

“Es bueno y agradable el lugar buena atención“

“The service is amazing & the food is always delicious. I highly recommend everyone should visit this Qdoba! It is better than most in the area! OMG with the reopening they just became my #1 pick for my favorite food. I'll always take that 45 minutes drive to the Qdoba in Denville rte 10.“

“Good food friendly staff good location fresh food hot food“

“I was looking for a place to hold a small(er) afternoon party for about 60 friends & family members, and McQ’s came highly recommended for great food, wonderful atmosphere, and top notch service. They did not disappoint. The general manager, Alexis was a pleasure to work with, and was helpful with menu choices, and whatever additional asks I had. (A table area for a display, AV hook-up for a slide presentation, and complimentary drink “coupons” for my guests. The entire staff (including the kitchen) was friendly, and determined to make this a fun (and delicious) event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I give them 5 stars 🌟 out of 5.“

“Great spot for a typical Latin lunch. Service is fantastic, and the food is great. Love the flautas de pollo. Their empanadas are amazing as well. I’d suggest the Romeo y Julieta empanada for dessert instead of the other desserts on the menu.“

“Delicious stuffed arepitas! I’ve been looking for a place like this =]“

“The greatest place to have a delicious diner. My family and I experienced a very proffecional and lovely behavior for the Colombian waitresses, and very special environment that made us feel at home. The menu was small no to much to chose but perfectly exquisite having pretty much of the Colombian cuisine“

“This place is pretty good fellow foodies. It’s fairly price as well; not too pricey!!
•Nothing is really over 20 except the full Red snapper dinner @25.

•Normally I’d start the paragraph with the “bad” then go to the good!!,
But can’t really because of one time they rushed cooked it on the whole fish dinner and it wasn’t as seasoned and tasty as the other two(2) times!!

•It is home cooked meal style and not fast food profile!~~in terms of style and taste!
You will not be disappointed.
I saw a previous commenter above that said small portions were their curse;
Didn’t think so!!
I mean we could always sue more of a good thing right?

Vegetarian options: Didn’t make a list. I eat meat.

Parking: You’ll always find a space

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance from street! Totally great“
