50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Garnerville

“The food is always fresh and unlike other Mexican restaurants in the area, they listen to you. I like my food on the spicy side, no gringo American for me!! Lol“

“First time visit with friends and we LOVED IT! From the food to the service to the atmosphere, everything was so amazing. Jose our waiter was so professional and friendly and great service was given to us! The food was great, we had chicken fajitas and enchiladas. We also loved it that the restaurant was playing Mexican music which went with the whole atmosphere.“

“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.“

“We love this place! I am from the Southwest and haven’t had tortillas like this in ages! We will be back! So fresh! So good!“

“I’m sorry I have no photos of the three best tacos I’ve probably ever had (camarones, pollo, and carne asada), the beautifully simple and fresh side salad (complete with onion, radish, tomato, and avocado), or my husband’s carne asada enchiladas verde—we were both too busy inhaling them. Do your tastebuds a favor and stop here. If we lived closer, we’d be weekly regulars. We used to live in NYC and hubby called it the best Mexican food in New York state. Gracias, Viva Mexican!“

“Great food, very friendly staff. Definitely recommend tacos de bistec!“

“The owner and staff were great. The burritos were delicious. My burrito was so filling that I ate half one day and the rest the next day. I DEFINITELY will go back. I do recommend and just talk to the staff about what you like and what they recommend.

I did and the choices were great.“

“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.“

“Very impressed! Dined here tonight and I was blown away with the quality and flavor of the food.I ordered the Guajillo rub chicken and it was great. The chicken was extremely juicy and flavorful. The presentation was amazing and the flavor hit different. Definitely more intricate and delicious flavors here compared to your standard Mexican restaurant. From the way the food was presented you can tell there is a great chef putting passion into the cooking.The chocolate lava cake was a hit to end out the dinner.Definitely give this place a try, I will be back for sure. The passionfruit mojitos were a hit as well!“

“Walked the Tappan Zee Bridge from Rockland to Westchester and made our way to the Taco Project for awesome Chicken Tacos and some Mango Margaritas! After all we earned it! 😉 Will definitely be back again and will recommend to all my friends!“

“the best Mexican food around!!!“

“What a fabulous treat! Great food, friendly staff, entertainment, loved the drinks! Will be back!“

“2nd time here, not disappointed!“

“Excellent food service in an unassuming area - highly recommend !“

“Amazing trays of 30 tacos and all veggies on the side! Plus we grabbed some Empanadas too! Today was the perfect day for us to try them since we were right at the mall! The owner was too sweet and brought us all kinds of things to try while we were waiting! The Biria was to die for and he brought us this Mexican Pizza absolutely mouthwatering! It is inside the gas station across from the Palisades! Seriously such good authentic Mexican food! He says you can even call and ask what his special is. He tries different things every week! Let's support a small local business! La Fondita Jarocha“

“Great food. Nice people. But the speed of their food delivery is not the best. I ordered a chicken burrito an hour ago and my food still hasn’t arrived even as I leave this review. Just sitting here hungry. I’ll go and get it next time“

“I used to go to the one in Middletown, NY when I was a kid. The inside decor is fun 🤩 with a nod to theme restaurants of the past. I very much enjoyed my entree with a jalapeño sauce and a white sauce, the margarita was a bit sweet, the guacamole 🥑 appetizer was excellent and freshly made. We will definitely go back to with our kids. Prices were fairly high from $25 to $35 per entree, but I understand in 2023 with inflation at a time highs, everything has increased in price. Overall, a fun and authentic restaurant which is oriented to celebrations.“

“The best and most authentic Mexican food there is. Their carnitas and carne asada are so flavorful and juicy. Everything they serve is amazingly delicious. My go-to food for comfort. It’s a diamond in the rough! We love it!! DELICIOUS!“

“Best chilequiles I have ever had. Great service, very clean, quick, friendly, and best of all the food was authentic. The chips and salsa were also fantastic. Highly recommend. The owners even came out and talked with us. One of the best Mexican places around in an area with many to choose from. If you're in the area, stop by!!!“

“Great views, atmosphere and staff. Most importantly the food is super delicious, reasonably priced and good size portions. What more can you ask for.“

“Margaritas…Wednesday, be there or be squared.“

“I was visiting the area for a youth sports event. Looked up close options for food. This place was fantastic. Cute window drawings and the inside is beautiful with amazing paintings. Clean! And the food... Fresh salsa, guac and chips were delicious and everything was spot on. When I come back to the area I will be back to try something new“

“A little gem for authentic Mexican food.Servers are friendly and accommodating! Atmosphere is not so good but gives a Mexican vibe that we see in TV series based in Mexico :)We tried them out seeing the reviews and we loved their foos. Tried our several times and food was consistently good!The only negative point is if you ask for extra green salsa when doing take out, they are quite reluctant to give you that. But you get that unlimited when dining in.“

“We went to check it out during the end of the COVID lull. The food was great as was the service. I will definitely go back!“

“Finding QUALITY AUTHENTIC mexican food is hard in Rockland. But this place checks all the marks. No random peas or lettuce in dishes that dont have it. Great salsa verde (sometimes it is a bit spicy, so careful folks). Delicious chilaquiles. Great torta. Hand squeezed orance juice. This is a hidden gem. Somewhat easy to park.“

“Top notch Mexican food at a great price. Aquas frescas are amazing, authentic, and at least 20 fl. oz. Prices are perfect. Small dining room, but they do not cramp the tables together. Spanish-language talk shows or telenovelas on a 50" screen blare their Central- and South-American equivalents of nonsense TV. It all makes for a perfect combination of a good lunch somewhere.The food is top notch, with the chips/salsa plentiful. Want guac? It's homemade and, if I recall, $8 for a ton of it. Their plates will overwhelm you, again, for a reasonable price. Plus, seasonings are spot on.You have to go there. Tip well. I know I will again after a luncheon there once upon a random time.“

“We love Casa del Sol! Best guac, salsa, margaritas and chicken fajitas! Love that it is kid friendly but still a fun atmosphere for adults!“

“In my party, two of us had tacos, one beef and one shrimp. Both of us found those delicious. Another member of our party had chicken burrito, which was also enjoyed. In particular, we loved the homemade hot sausage. Well I preferred the green, my husband loved the spicy. Absolutely! We recommend this restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: When we entered the restaurant, a man was there with his young toddler. The owner was welcoming to him as well as to my son.“

“This burrito is gigantic, as the name would suggest. I got the Cold Steel at their suggestion and I am shocked how good the brisket with coleslaw combination hit. I asked for it to be extra spicy and the added chilies complimented the creamy habanero sauce.“

“Super vintage town area this restaurant is ... I’ll recommend to try it“

“Very nice restaurant! Friendly staff ! Excellent and fast service ! Tasty food ! Will definitely visit again ♥️♥️“

“Exelente comida recomendado....!“

“me encanta , quiero volver“

“Great variety of mixed latin american dishes. Generous portions and good service! They also Deliver.“

“Delicioso muy buen sabor“

“I could say that the best restaurant, the customer service is the best... the food was 100%, the price was super affordable, those beans were so delicious with handmade tortillas that made me feel like I was in my little ranch in Chiquimula.“

“One of the best spots in Rockland for late night tacos! I go there after work or late night craving and there is always a line waiting to order or pick up. The service is alway great and their tacos are so yummy! I’ve also order their quesadillas and tortas and never disappoint ???“

“I'd give this place a 10/10 the food is always on point, I eat from here at least 2 times a week, the best and I mean the best genuine Mexican tacos I've had around here, the girls on the counter are super friendly and follow instructions really really well, I'm very satisfied with this place, a hidden “

“Came here with my girlfriend loved loved loved the atmosphere and the tacos were excellent! Prices were great and so was the service we will be back!! 5 stars“

“Had 6 people for lunch and it was a good time!!“

“Love finding these small places. The tacos were amazing, I had the steak, son had the pork and wife had the Mahi. Everything was extremely flavor full, the guacamole was fresh and had a great flavor. Really small and very busy. Would 100% eat here again (without kids)! Thank you!“

“Riquísima comida la mejor en su torta huarache todo lo mejor es un lugar limpio y agradable para comer en familia 🌮🌮🌯🍤“

“Pretty good food. Looks like a family owned business. I loved the vibe of the restaurant, walking in to what seems like a bodega in Mexico. The lady (might be the mom) was very attentive to all of the customers, she came by our table almost every 5 minutes asking us if we needed anything at all. The free salsa was pretty good. I would def come back when I’m in the area. We ordered a lot of tacos. The carnitas was OK but the spicy pork, al pastor and the sausage tacos was really good. Good food for a very decent price!!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, we were very happy to find out they serve authentic Mexican food, and the ambience was very enjoyable as well, the workers were all very welcoming and friendly, would definitely recommend and will certainly be back.“

“I've been getting my mexican food here since I could walk. My bf is picky but he likes mexicna food so I took him here and we got two Entrees. He loved the food and he doesn't like alot of stuff, it's always well seasoned and they're always so nice. Recently they stopped delivering but I'll make my way there just for a Torta or anything!!!!“
