Not much to look at from the street, but the food is LEGIT. Best Mexican I've had in a long time; fresh and delicious. You can mix and match proteins and the portions are generous for the price. We had a fabulous meal. Be forewarned they are cash only. No biggie for us, but might be for those who don't carry cash.Only downside (again, nothing w/the service or the food) was that we could have done without "The Hunger Games" playing on the TVs in the eating area - turn them off and just put on some music!

Looks like a "hole in the wall" but don't pass it by! Most authentic Mexican we've had in a LONG time. So fresh and delicious and generous portions for the price. We were able to mix and match proteins (so in an order of 4 tacos, 2 chicken, 2 pastor) and that was great. So happy we found it. Be forewarned it is CASH ONLY, not an issue for us, but might be for those who never carry cash.

We decided to find the best tacos and due to the ratings we chose La Mixteca. Wow. We were so happy to be here. Walking in it looked like take out only but there is a very pleasant side seating area that offers a really nice dining experience above your typical small store front place. We ordered beef, pork, shrimp and pork skin tacos. Can't decide which were best but possibly both pork choices. Mildly flavored and the two home sauces - both green and red were delicious. We ordered chicken empanadas to try and a huge order of 4 came out. Delicious then, later that night, and reheated for lunch the next day!! A few patrons were eating these huge bowls of soup. Found out it was a shrimp soup and a daily special pork soup. Next time we will try - looked delish. Also found out they do a lamb special on Sundays and will try that next as well. Service was impeccable. The young man who helped us was super friendly and attentive and answered all our questions. This place is better than good. Its a gem and the closest to eating in Mexico that I recall ever having in the states.

Food is great and prices are great. I can’t stand that half the time I want to eat here there isn’t a person who speaks English that answers and takes the order. Messed up my order and dietary restrictions several times.

this is one of the best authentic mexican restaurants i’ve ever been to. my family and i make the drive all the way from Netcong to here to eat here. The food is delicious and fresh, and the service is awesome, they’re so friendly! i love coming here for the tacos, but all of the food is good, and prices are reasonable! keep in mind it is cash only

Authentic for sure! Feels like you're eating at someone's Home. Quesadillas are Great and You have to try the Home made Guacamole and Chips.

A safe bet for Mexican! I always get the tacos or the enchilada verde which is spicy. But we love it it's always a good idea!

Horrible service. Last time we ate here one of the men working there accosted us because we mentioned politely that we had received the wrong order.

My first time here. I had the best Birria Tacos in this area. Looking forward to trying more dishes.
Food is always great! Service is great as well! Chicken quesadillas are my favorite from this location. Second choice would be the chicken Huaraches! Highly recommend over any other local Mexican restaurant.

This place is legit and lives up to its reviews. and it's like eating in Mexico. It's real authentic food. I stopped in on a Thursday afternoon pretty busy. I had chicken and steak tacos really good. Staff was very very nice as well. Whole experience was nice. Great hot sauces. We would definitely recommend it .
