50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wood Ridge

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

“Hidden gem in wood ridge. We didnt have much expectations coming in for a quick bite but the food was superb. We ordered a hot pastrami sandwich and a chicken burrito and both came with great sides (freshly fried thick cut fries, macaroni salad, chips, guac, salsa). Food was piping hot and buttery. Not overly seasoned and the portions were very generous. I would pay extra money for this quality and portion.“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. The sliders are delicious. The shrimp tacos are bonkers good. The quesadillas are amazing. The wings are SO yummy! We've had trays of sliders for parties and everyone loves them. We've been coming here for years and the quality has always been phenomenal. 10/10.“

“Whewwwwweee did I enjoy myself!

First of all, it's gorgeous, so sunshine-y and green. We sat at the bar and the service was great. We ordered the cantaloupe slushies and they were so, so good! They weren't overly strong + they mix them themselves, just a few ingredients. The guac was a little small but delicious. The pork tacos were pretty expensive for 2, I thought, until I tasted them. WOW, so good. We were so busy catching up, we didn't realize they'd closed to get ready for dinner. They emphasized we hadn't overstayed our welcome, we could stay as long as we needed.
And the disco-themed restroom + playlist? Excellente“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“omg Sophia was absolutely amazing! She catered to alllll my allergies. And it was my boy's bday and she made it extra special. Totally recommend to anyone in Chelsea!“

“Great Mexican restaurant the food is delicious“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“This is a fully vegan restaurant, and I found the food delicious. I could definitely recommend the enchiladas suizas—they were very tasty, but also extremely spicy, even after asking for the hot sauce on the side. I feel that if they hadn’t been so spicy, I would have absolutely loved them. The churros come with a delicious white sauce, and the coconut cake is a great option if you’re a fan of coconut.“

“Great evening here with beer and margarita monday , Cucumber, classic and passion fruit absolutely brilliant. smashing service from bar man Trevor was top class and so welcoming....“

“Small but fresh menu made it perfect for making decisions and also means the food SHOULD be great across the board and they did not let us down.

Calm atmosphere was perfect for intimate gatherings and a focus attention on your party.

The chips and salsa was a great way to start opening the pallet to different flavors paired with
The Amarillos aguachiles which was light, sweet, and refreshing

Tostada de atun was mouth watering, fresh, flavorful and my personal favorite of the night but a tough 2nd pick was the branzino we order which comes with a nice pineapple salsa. The fish was cooked perfectly and also so fresh.

Everything here is fresh and packed with flavor, perfect for hot summer night, light dinners, or parties with friends.“

“Absolutely incredible place I even got to meet the manager. The guy was awesome. I recommend this place completely to anybody else is off the hook fantastic“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“The food & service were great! Will definitely return.“

“Hermoso restaurante de comida internacional música tragos espectaculares y ambiente súper agradable“

“Accidental find on way to Bermuda!!! Such a fun, vibrant and clean place! The drinks and food top notch. The service even better. @danny helped guide me through menu to get some delicious choices! We will be back!“

“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.“

“Great location right in the heart of Manhattan. Wonderful Mexican food and delicious Margaritas. Had a great time there.“

“Nizuc isn’t just a restaurant it’s a full sensory experience. The space is stunning: lush greenery, artful details, and music that sets the perfect mood without being too loud.

The menu is a celebration of bold, modern Mexican flavors. From the creamy guacamole with house-made chips to the slow-braised birria tacos, everything tasted fresh and carefully crafted. I also loved how the dishes were served ,presentation was beautiful but not overdone.

The drinks were just as memorable. Their signature cocktails blend mezcal, tequila, and tropical flavors in unexpected ways . I had a passion caliente that I’m still dreaming about.

And honestly, the staff made the night. Warm smiles, great recommendations, and the kind of service that makes you want to come back.“

“Cosme is a true celebration of flavor and elevated Mexican cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance—elegant, warm, and thoughtfully designed, with well-spaced tables that allow for comfortable conversation without overhearing your neighbors.

The service was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive. Our party of six ordered everything at once and shared family-style, and the pacing of each course was spot on.

We started with all the appetizers, and it was nearly impossible to choose a favorite. The scallops al pastor, the corn, and the bass were each exceptional in their own way—beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor.

For mains, the standout was the duck carnitas—tender, rich, and perfectly executed. An off-menu tomahawk ribeye, served with house-made salsa and fresh corn tortillas, was another highlight—arguably better than what you’d find at a top steakhouse.

Although Cosme offers a thoughtful wine list, we found ourselves captivated by the cocktails. The spicy margarita was a favorite, and the mezcal flight was both fun and expertly curated.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert—but that only gives us another reason to return. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.“

“When to celebrate a birthday with family. We had great time! We chose the Sunday's brunch menu, trully recomemded it for a large group. Drinks and food were really good. The host did a great job and we got tequila's shots on the house from the manager :)! Everyone loved the new theme of the restaurant. We will come back for sure!“

“U planned my birthday party at La Contenta LES and would highly recommend everyone do the same! We were a table of 8 - and the offer for a prix fixe for that side group is great. They worked with me to select a menu and it was very easy to communicate with them. The night itself was great, everyone was so nice. The food is always excellent (I’ve been many times already), and the portions were huge! Would definitely celebrate another occasion here.“

“Great meal - drinks extraordinary. Definitely coming back.“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Excellent restaurant serving a variety of Mexican and Mexican-inspired dishes, and some Sinaloan options like aguachile. It's hard to go wrong with any of the guacamoles, starters, or tacos. The aguachile and ceviches we've tried have been good. Was pleasantly surprised by their cocktails. Particularly like the Fridita and the Paloma. The couple that runs the restaurant is very kind. Nice ambiance too“

“The birria tacos were delicious! Excellent service.“

“We had a group of forty here for a work function and it was perfect for the evening. The restaurant coordinated flawlessly with our planner; had a preset smaller selection menu, starters and desserts were all designed for a table share style and the drinks were perfect for us all after a long few days of a training conference session!“

“I have been frequenting this place for a little while now they've always been very good to me and my tastes, tomorrow is my birthday so I mentioned it and by chance I was granted with my usual meal complimentary on the house, just showing even further how much humility the people in this establishment have. 10/10 recommend this eatery (try the seared fish!)“

“I pass this place often in my travels so I finally decided to give it a try. Initially when I walked in and saw the prices of everything I almost walked out because everything seemed overpriced. But I figured since I was already there I may as well give it a try. And thank God I did The food and service were amazing and made my trip and the money worth it.“
