41 Best Mexican Restaurants near Jamesburg

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great little spot cheaper than any fast food around with a spanish twist ?Parking: Parking is in the rear of the building there is also additional parking if you follow the same little road behind the school can't miss it.Kid-friendliness: Small spot but very kid friendly they will even change the TV channel for the kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entrance is on a shared entrance with the Ice cream depot shop best ice cream in town ? ?“

“Delicious and always fresh. Haven’t had a bad meal here yet and I don’t think I will. I love the authentic Spanish music as well.“

“We eat here once a week, faithfully. Actually because we have such a big order, we order it for delivery to Piscataway. I ate there twice in the restaurant and was HOOKED! The flavors are so DELICIOUS! We’ve have our favorite menu items and a nice variety. Hands down best place to eat!“

“Ordered food for a family party and EVERYONE at the party loved the food. They delivered the food to our home and couldn’t have been nicer. I had never even eaten there before and decided to support a local business and I’m so glad that I did. The food was absolutely amazing and everything was fresh. HIGHLY “

“The food tasted great. The service here was good. Wish the best of luck to Edgar and Melliase.“

“Had a great time here for a family birthday dinner! They accommodated our large party easily and took such good care of us. The hostess made sure we had a place for our car seat at the table and the servers were so helpful.The food and drinks were good, I think the food could be like 10% more flavored but it wouldn’t deter me from coming back!The drinks are STRONG which I think is great haha“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Mexican food here is comparable to a border town restaurant and definately better than the rest in the area. The only thing missing would be the hand made tortillas.“

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“The best Mexican food and service!!!“

“Recommend: tilapia tacos*, salsa verde, campenchanosGood: tamales, barbacoa tacosOk: chicken flautas, arabes tacos, lengua (tongue) tacos, tripa tacos*Probably would have been a 3 star rating if we didn't like the tilapia tacos so much. They were definitely the favorite. The fish was tender and nicely seasoned.The seasoning and cook on other things were a little hit or miss. Barbacoa had great taste but too salty, arabes were dry, lengua was disappointingly dry and bland. The salsa verde was used liberally to save many of the tacos.The flautas were nice and crispy but the chicken inside was dry.The tripe had some crunchy bits that some people might like but I found them tough.The campenchanos in the flour tortilla were also a bit salty but I liked how soft the tortilla was.The tamales had nice texture, but the cheese stick inside was strange for me.“

“Really yummy food, great atmosphere, and service. I had the 3 tacos (Al Pastor - marinated port, Bistec (beef), and Camaron (shrimp)) and my husband had the Pescada ala Mexicana (fried fish with shrimp). Everything was sooooo tasty. Will definitely be coming back here!“

“Ordering pickup from El Mexicano is so GREAT! Starting with the AMAZING customer service when calling to order our food. The young lady answers very politely, understands our order and gets it right every-time! It is ready is a very timely manner. It is carefully packed, with salsas and chips. Most orders include a little salad, limes, and yummy chiles. We love the enchiladas verdes, pollo empanizado (breaded chicken cutlet). The arroz and fríjoles are DELICIOUS! The carnitas are so YUMMY too! Definitely recommend!“

“I LOVE IT I BEEN THERE TWICE AND WE DON'T SPEAK SPANISH BUT WE WERE HELP AND THE WAITRESS REMEMBER US FROM THE LAST TIME. THE SHRIMP IS TO DIE FOR. WILL BE BACK“

“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 experience. Tried to place my order, but was basically told what to get. I wanted an empinada one way, the lady told me the right way. Empinada was great. Burrito was HUGE and tasty, two meals. Highly recommend!“

“Fresh made to order tortillas. The best authentic Mexican tacos. Favorite is the barbacoa. I have had the chicken it was ok, needed more flavor and a little dry. Don't expect Tex-mex (ground meat) , this is the real deal and real steak. Guacamole delicious and made to order. It's a byob. Prices are great for portion. Ambiance is refab but very clean. Focus is the food.“

“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“

“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 !“

“A no frill restaurant. We weren’t sure if the server was fluent with English. The service was adequate.We had a burrito bowel, one verde con pollo (chicken w green sauce) tamale, one mole con pollo (chicken with mole) tamale, and a chicken tostada. For drinks we had jarrito mandarine and tamarind piña.The burrito was standard. The verde con pollo was delicious and the tostada was generous and tasty. The mole sauce was more bitter than sweet; it’s different from most places. The tamarind piña was good too.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a small place with upstairs, no good for wheelchairs“

“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!“

“I highly recommend this Qdoba location. Since it opened, I have eaten inside as well as done takeout on several occasions. The food has always been very fresh. And the portions are healthy. The service and the staff are commendable. The manager, Alex, is always exceptionally friendly and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend the Birria and the queso, as they are by far my favorites“

“Seemed like they only spoke Spanish, but Idk. Prices were fair, portion size was just right, food was fantastic. Served chips with salsa verde. The salsa was spicy in the best way. I got pollo el chipotle. It was perfect. Also got pupusas. Definitely authentic food made very well. So far my favorite Mexican place in New Jersey.“

“I was in the area on business and just googled restaurants near me. This place popped up quite small but the food was very very good and very reasonable. My whole meal was only $15 that was chips and salsa steak fajitas and a Coke. Definitely well worth the visit if you’re in the area.“

“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!“

“Tiny little place. Good food especially for the price. I got a pork special. Rice and black beans were really good. The small side salad was good including the dressing. Pork was thin cut and pretty good. For $11 this special was very much worth it.“

“I have ordered from there several times and everything has been great. I decided to try their catering for a party of 10. The food was excellent. The price was great and the portions could have fed 15 or more. I will definitely use them to cater in the future.“

“Food - the flavor of the food taste great but my food is always cold. There is no warmth to it whatsoever. Cold chicken, cold beans, cold rice, etc.Service - I’ve gone and had really good service. I’ve gone and the food service prepared sloppily prepared my food. Was rushing me as I’m telling them what I want on my salad. I was the only one in the restaurant; I didn’t understand their sense of urgency. Nor why they grossly put the food together like they did.Atmosphere - good/typical“

“VERY GOOD, fresh and authentic Mexican food. A Very friendly and welcoming gentleman took my takeout order. As a Black/African American Born and raised in New Brunswick, NJ, I have driven past this GEM countless times but TODAY was my first time dining. Stopped in quickly for takeout lunch because I was in the mood for GOOD pork tacos. Walked inside and immediately felt like I was in Mexico and I say that in a positive respect for the culture way. I immediately enjoyed the Very traditional atmosphere with locals enjoying lunch. Nothing fancy, just regular people enjoying GOOD authentic Mexican Food and there was a PLETHORA of selections on the menu. I can't wait to visit again and try new things.“

“My husband and I were just driving through and stumbled across this place. First off by far the best tacos I've ever had in New Jersey! I grew up in Southern California 15 minutes from the Tijuana border, this is the closest thing I've ever come across to real Mexican food. I'm sad I live an hour away and hope to have a reason real soon to drive down that way again!“

“Food us authentic and tasty. Prices are super competitive and fair in my opinion.The business is owned and operated by a fantastic family. This is my goto spot in North Brunswick. Please come check them out!“

“I came here for the first time after moving to the area and was so impressed with the food. Everything was fresh and delicious. The servers were understaffed (like everywhere else), but they did not stop running around and ensuring we had what we needed. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes.“

“Not bad ... their tacos from cabeza are goodMy favorite tamales here is the one that is called chileajo I am not a fan of the green tamales 'cause here i feel like it need salt in the green sause too sour... the mole is good yhis restaurant is a small place, i rather take the food home instead of seating there.“

“Muy buena la comida y todo pero pésimo servicio al cliente. Al tomarte tu orden por teléfono no tienen paciencia ni atención al cliente. Me llamaron dos veces para confirmar mi orden para que a última hora me la cancelaran. Muy mala experiencia.“

“Amazing authentic Mexican food, everything on the menu was good. I also loved my passion fruit juice. We accidentally spilled over the juice, the waitress gave us a free refill and cleaned the floor immediately for us. Such a wonderful dining “
