5 Best Mexican Restaurants near Princeton

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“It’s so good! My favorite restaurant in the whole world! Their service was awesome and I’ve came so many times! I love their food especially their cheese enchiladas!
