17 Best Mexican Restaurants near Elizabeth

“I ordered lunch from here for the first time using grubhub. I was quickly called to confirm my taco toppings, or should I say the lack thereof. I explained I like them on the simpler side for toppings. I am not sure if I spoke to the owner or not, but she was very kind. So apologized as one of the toppings I selected was currently out of stock and the drink I selected as well. She offered to replace my drink and even said she would send 2 with my delivery! I was shocked I wasn't expecting it, I understand things happen. Once my order arrived, it was just as I wanted, and upon inspection, there was a small gift card for the out of stock items to come back and try again. I am speechless they went above and beyond, especially for the price point of their food, which was delicious and really made my day better. I will now be taking my husband to try the place soon!“

“Always super clean and super fresh! I shop there at least once a week, often twice, now a lot of my dishes and sauces are inspired by healthy Mexican cuisine. People usually buy in bulk at the meat counter but when I asked for just a half pound of chorizo to season my sweet potatoes and greens the gentleman was just as nice as could be about it! In my kitchen I blend cultures, a lot of beautiful things happen. Thanks Las Palmas!“

“Can't wait to go back - and it will be soon! The tacos were wonderful with tender meats; asada, birria, lingua, and el pastor. Sides of cilantro, onion, salsas, and lime were served. The elote was delicious and with the just the right amount of fixings. We stumbled across this place on the afternoon of the eclipse and the weather was nice enough to enjoy an outside table. The street was so quiet, with very little traffic except for the street cars that ventured by so we enjoyed the sunbathed table whilst we enjoyed lunch and watched the eclipse. The service was friendly and attentive. This place took us back to the great places we frequent when in Mexico. We're so lucky to have this authentic place here in Pittsburgh. Don't miss out on this gem.“

“Absolutely overjoyed to have authentic mexican in my neighborhood! As I was born and raised in California, I know the real deal when I taste it and everything we had was truly the best I've had in the 18 years I've lived in Pittsburgh! We look forward to when the dining room opens but in the mean time we will continue to take out and try everything!“

“As much as I love ?? Mexico, I'm not very brave when it comes to Mexican food. So since it was a ⛪️ Friday during Lent, I decided to try the fish tacos ?? from Mexi Taco in Charleroi. Wow, delicious! ? Light, not overly-fishy, and perfect with a little hint of lime. I also got to meet Victor, the owner, and I am so excited to visit his local establishment again soon! ?“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always really good. They have specials on margaritas during the week. Definitely get the queso to go with the chips and salsa! I usually get the enchiladas, but the fajitas are also up there on my list too.The staff is very polite and quick with the margarita refils. They all take care of all the tables so you can easily flag someone down if you need anything. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!“

“A little hole in the wall where the Mexican locals go. Both of us ordered the green enchiladas, with rice and beans, they were delicious. The food is more authentic and closer to actual Mexican food than anything I've found in the eastern part of the country. Price is very reasonable and service is excellent. I'm definitely stopping by when in the area.“

“This place is as good today as the day it opened under a different name all those years ago. The food is flavored well and always tastes fresh. The staff is always courteous and helpful if you’re unsure.In a world where there is so much uncertainty in good food service, Mexican Flavors is always a good choice. I highly recommend.“

“The food is average. I got fish tacos and the fish was more breading than meat and the rice was kinda hard. Other Mexican restaurants are way better HOWEVER the drinks are good as hell. I got mojitos and my friend got margaritas both came in strawberry and mango. Kinda expensive like $10 or more a drink but that’s average for these places. The bartender was amazing and super sweet. She was also fine as hell but that’s beside the point lol id go back for drinks but would probably eat somewhere else.“

“This was a true delight! The atmosphere was very authentic. My server recommended my meal and it was great!!! I had the El Salvador Pupusas! We were there during Happy Hour. I had a 20 oz Margarita, yummy! My husband partakes in the taco Tuesday event. He enjoyed thoroughly! What we loved the most were the prices!!!
