Mexican Restaurants near Hightstown

“Twice I’ve ordered food from here for takeout and didn’t get any utensils or napkins. Their food is MESSY so you can’t eat this without some backup. I wasn’t born in the dark ages. Why would I get rice and beans with no way of eating it or cleaning up after myself? The food itself is fine but stock up before you go. Make your 2024 better: TacoRita is out, Taco Bell is in.“

“Stopped by for lunch and ordered the shrimp tacos that were on special to find out this place serves authentic and excellent food. The pico de gallo was freshly made and the guac was equally good. I recommend giving them a try when you’re near or in town.“

“Great food, we ordered cheese Quesadilla and Guacamole with chips and strawberry milkshakes. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, the Guacamole in particular was one of the best I have had. Would definitely return here and try some of the other items on the menu.“

“DELICIOUS! From the outside, the place does not look very appealing. In fact, there wasn’t a single car in their parking lot and no other customers inside which made me think that the food might not be great. Even as a line began to form at the ice cream place next door, no one came into the restaurant. However, don’t miss out on this spot! The food was phenomenal and tasted fresh. The chicken empanadas as an appetizer are to die for—SO tasty and crispy. All the main food dishes were also fresh and hot. Even the kids chicken tenders, which I assumed would probably be regular frozen tenders that were fried seemed homemade and seasoned well. This was probably some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The only thing I’ll say is that the complementary chips at the beginning and the sides dishes of rice and beans were kind of cold (my guess is that they might have been sitting out for a bit), but the rest of the food was very tasty. If you’re in Jamesburg, give this place a try, you will not regret it!“

“We had lunch here for the first time today and had delicious Biarrias tacos. The homemade green sauce was drinkable! Service was friendly. We will certainly be back!!“

“My go to place! Elijah at the Princeton Market fair location by the AMC Movie Theater is fantastic! He knows and remembers me, my usual order and makes it right. Hope your give him a raise!Vegetarian options: Am vegan, not vegetarian but you can order vegan and vegetarian easy!“

“A warm weather day calls for an outdoor dinner at Maria's! Got my usual go to which is Maria's Burrito. A regular burrito but drenched in their mole sauce. Then I add their la diabla sauce on top to make it spicy. Chefs Kiss. The shrimp la diabla is also a good go to and that thing packs heat! The residential cat was out and about. I'm pretty sure I saw it last time I dined outside too. The cat is real chill. It just roams. A side note: they updated the look of their menu. Reorganized the flow of items, text size, and prices.“

“Whenever I am in the area, this Mexican deli is my go to stop! Lots of my Mexican restaurant only give three tacos in the order BUT this place does four. It has been years since I found a place that does 4 tacos in a order! 100% recommend the tacos from this place and picadas. The only down part of this place is the dining, there are only a couple of tables and in the weekend it is usually hard to find one. I have been very lucky and have always found a table but I have seen others. The owner of this restaurant shows great hospitality and is attentive to customers.“

“The best Mexican food and service!!!“

“Food was delicious and authentic. I ordered tacos al pastor, tacos de carne asada and my children enjoyed tostadas with beans, cheese and rice. Server was friendly and attentive. Will return for more delicious food.Kid-friendliness: Booths, high chairs, kid friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp available“

“Tasty, a tad pricey for what you get, a little loud to dine in (like... kind of strange lol), all fresh, tinkering on the edge of authentic. Anything you get is going to be good. Everyone in my orbit LOOOOOVES the brussels sprouts tacos/burritos. IMHO, you can't go wrong w a burrito. That fat little sucker rivals the weight of a newborn baby. lol“

“My boyfriend and I go here often and they never disappoint! Today for dinner he picked up the Philly Cheesesteak (which they packed with steak) and I got the Chicken Gyro (which was honestly the best thing I ever ate.) We also picked up a Body Armor drink, which i’m glad to see that they carry with all of the other great selections that they have. I would recommend this place to anyone for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I promise you it’s well worth it :) Oh and the customer service is impeccable, Willy, Sam, Azim and all of the other staff are always very nice and patient !“

“We've been waiting for this place to open for a while because we haven't found good Mexican in the area. We just tried this place for the first time today and we'll definitely be coming back! Ordered the quesa birria tacos, el pastor tacos, chicken enchiladas, chicken quesadillas, and rice and beans. Everything was really full of flavor! So excited they are opened!“

“The best in town and anywhere near year after year! Jennifer, Lucia and the rest of the crew are the best people around! Guacamole Nachos, chips & salsa, creamy chicken chipotle, carne asada… and much more. All great!Parking: If the lot is full, you can find street parking or go a block away towards 206 to a large park parking lot.“

“I had to pick up a package at the UPS Customer Service center across the street (which this UPS's posted hours are different than on the UPS website and they didn't open for another hour) so I grabbed lunch here while waiting. The restaurant looks new and VERY clean with a spacious seating area. An employee took the time to explain to me what they serve and I ordered a Burrito Bowl ($12). The portion was HUGE and I was happy that I could custom order it as I like (mixing in both types of rice, mixed beans and mixed protein and lots of toppings to choose from). All the ingredients were fresh (including the lettuce and guac), tasty and nicely seasoned. The chicken was tender chunks and not grisly or chewy. I really enjoyed the bowl; it tasted like it was homemade and I had enough leftover to save for later. I'm not a fan of Chip-NO-tle and wasn't sure how this would be, but I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back when I'm in the area again.“

“Went tonight for the first time with a friend and everything was amazing! From the atmosphere, to the service, to the food. ? Connor, the manager, was super friendly, attentive, funny, and a great conversationalist. We ordered the MexiTotz (highly recommend), chips and queso (also highly recommend) and each got a burrito. I couldn’t choose between steak, chicken, and shrimp for my burrito, so I asked to do all 3 and the server/manager obliged without any issues and never charged me any extra to mix and match! The place is BYOB and conveniently has a liquor store right next door ? highly, highly recommend and I will definitely be back!“

“Just had the best experience at this location- thanks to Delina & Kaila. These two are seriously the sweetest souls behind the counter. Not only did they whip up some amazing food, but their kindness made my day. Big thanks to them for spreading those good vibes!“

“I ate at the Monroe store today. I had never been at a Buubakoos before and did not know what to expect. I had the pork burrito and it was off the hook. The place was spotless and the service was spot on. The manager came over and introduced himself as John and asked if everything was satisfactory, and it was more than satisfactory. You would think John was the owner not just the manager, he cared as if was his own business. It was good to see that. I will be back for sure, my new go to place.“

“Grabbed lunch from here today and enjoyed my food. First, the restaurant is cash only but there's a nearby ATM if you need to use it. I ordered one of the specials that used skirt steak (sorry, my Spanish is pretty much nonexistent so I forget the exact name) and it was prepared in ~10 minutes or so. I could tell it was fresh, so no complaints there! I took my food to go, and I have to admit that it was pretty challenging to cut up my steak with the provided plastic knife and fork. Granted, I'm not really sure what the solution is - it's not like they're going to give out a quality knife and fork for a take-out order. The steak was definitely tasty and tender for skirt steak, and the sides (rice, black beans, and pasta salad with a jalapeño on top) were all high quality as well. Finally, they offered some side tortillas which were decent but didn't blow me away. The whole meal was only $10, which is extremely reasonable for Princeton. Overall, I was really happy with my experience at Chapin. All of the food was good (with the exception of the side tortillas, which were only decent). I do think that the restaurant could offer a little more information on the ingredients of the specials (I had to use Google!), but I guess I could have just asked the reasonably friendly staff and he would have answered my questions :) But it's nice to just be able to read it off a menu. Anyway, I can definitely see myself coming back!“
