About Mariposa Mexican

Mariposa Mexican, an eclectic Mexican restaurant located in downtown Newark, offers a unique dining experience. The restaurant features a few parking spots on the street and a small patio with about 4 tables. Stepping inside, guests are greeted by exposed brick walls that showcase the building's history. The layout includes around 10 booths or tables along the walls, as well as a large community table down the center, making it a perfect spot for larger groups.

The menu offers a variety of Mexican dishes, including the popular "any 3 Tacos for $10" special, which features chicken, carnitas, and barbacoa with consume. Customers have praised the homemade salsa, which is served warm and is described as amazing. The Mariposa margaritas and skinny margarita are also highlights among the drink options. While some reviewers have found the portions to be on the smaller side and noted that the taste is just fine, others appreciate the fresh flavors that stand apart from many Mexican chain restaurants.

Reviewers have remarked on the beautiful atmosphere and the amazing service, with servers going above and beyond to accommodate guests, including large parties. Mariposa's proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Great Circle Ceremonial Earthworks, makes it a convenient stop for visitors exploring the area. Overall, this little gem along the square is recommended for its drinks, atmosphere, and attentive service.
