Mexican Restaurants near Hillside

“Ok, normally Taco Bell wouldn't pop up on my list of good places to eat. However, the Taco Bell at this location is different. The cantina bowls are HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! And the Happy Hour Ice Drinks are a chance to treat your inner child ???. The prices are budget friendly. It's quiet and clean inside which is a plus when you're talking about a fast food establishment. If you're in the area stop in or take a quick trip through their drive thru. You'll definitely find yourself going back again and again.“

“Delicious and great atmosphere“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“Came to this place not knowing what to expect but saw lots of great reviews and I can absolutely say it lived up to its ratings. Me and the fam got to try the tenders(hugee), ribs, rotisserie chicken, burgers, general tsos and chopped cheese sandwich and OH MY was it DELICIOUS. The people here were also very friendly and accommodating, they also had good music playing in the background. Definitely recommend this spot to anyone in or out of town. I will be coming back for more as it seems they updated their menu with some great new stuff that I can't wait to try. Small but tasty restaurant!Vegetarian options: Veggie Panini, Veggie Wrap, Veggie Burrito and Veggie BurgerKid-friendliness: Very Friendly and have kid options.“

“buena atencion y rica comida mexicana“

“We have ordered food here many times for our family. The food is always delicious and the staff is excellent! The owner is very supportive of the community!!! If your organization is looking to fundraise, please reach out to the owner of Bubbakoo's Burritos in Livingston.“

“The vibe is amazing as soon as you walk in. Staff is friendly to the T. Food's worth what you pay for, 8/10 in taste. Me and my girl go for dinner, a quick session at the bar or something to go. Overall, I vouch for Johnny's. No pictures because I'll be back.“

“I’ve been here on multiple occasions and the food is always delicious and fresh. It’s so good, I would compare it to my grandmother’s cooking. The gentleman who’s typically the waiter is very nice and recommends the best dishes. The staff in general is very welcoming. I read through the reviews and have this to say: if you don’t understand true Mexican cuisine, culture and ambience, go to this restaurant and find out for yourself. It’s an experience, it’s something Rutherford needed, and it will be my new favorite spot. Taste is subjective but it’s clear some people don’t understand the hard work and effort that goes behind making this place possible. Keep up the good work Nacho Libre team! You gained a loyal customer.“

“Passing through Cranford and felt the itch for good Tex-Mex. Follow the reviews on Yelp and parked across the street in convenient parking. The weather was nice today but, we decided to eat indoor. The place was exceptionally clean with a pleasant atmosphere. We ordered and were quickly served with some of the best dishes we've had in a while. The food was prepared and presented in an exceptional way. Judge for yourself on these pictures. Stop by and enjoy. I loved the Salsa Verde on my strip tacos!“

“Even if the restaurant looks a bit unusual from the outside right next to the laundromat: don't miss out on a visit! Super friendly, attentive service and absolutely delicious, freshly prepared food! Absolute recommendation! we'd love to come back! Thanks!“

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“Such a cute spot! I love the decor and the service is great.The tacos are freshly made and taste like they’re made with quality ingredients.The green and red salsas are soooo good!I also really loved the mint lemonade.My only gripe, is I wish they served the tacos with lime instead of lemon and I wish the birria meat and consommé had more robust flavor, but they were still good!“

“Muy buen servicio y la comida fresca y muy deliciosa“

“The family at Los Hermanos is a quality group. The meet you with a smile and their space is delightful. Nice for a quick bite whether that’s for a breakfast quesadilla or a lunch entree. A great addition to the 4th ward of Montclair. Also, side note - they wear gloves while preparing your food and it’s a very clean establishment.“

“I have eaten here many times and when they had the food truck .. everything I had was amazing. Would recommend 10 out of 10“

Really loved the "sopes" which was an oblong open-faced tortilla dish with fillings.Parking: Was able to park on street right in front.“

“Earlier today, I ordered the bistec torta and an order of Grilled steak which came with rice and beans, a side of tortillas and yummy grilled cactus ?it was all very tasty, I would’ve preferred less lechuga on the torta but other than that I would definitely order again.????“

“Very cool ambiance. Food and drinks were both super delicious.Sign says you can only stay at the table for 1.5 hours I think?Parking: Small parking lot on the side of the building but it was completely full. Can find parking on some of the streets nearby for not more than a 5 minute walk.“

“First, welcome to this New Mexican Restaurant located at 704 Jersey Ave Elizabeth 07202, second, I want to say that I have been to more than 15 Mexican restaurants and with all the respect they deserve. I love this one specifically. For the quality of the food, the texture, the great service, the good attention. The food is fresh and the amount they put is an excessively large amount. Congratulations, great job. I will always be back. I like that there are all kinds of traditional Mexican drinks.“

“Stopped by this local dot because I was HUNGRY! Lol. Also needed to get something before heading to my next appointment. I walked in and although the place was empty, the employee at the front was patient, helpful and friendly. I liked the decor and cleanliness of the establishment. You could tell they worked hard to keep this casual spot warm and inviting. Down to the flower vases on each table. I ordered the pupusa and chicken tacos. The food was flavorful and ingredients fresh. Even the radishes and cucumbers as garnish was fresh. I'll be back again. I love finding local spots with great food! Let me know if you have any to recommend.“

“Had such a good experience here - not only the food was amazing and great value but the service was so quick and helpful! My friends and I got the nachos with chicken (loved the taquitos and thick chips), Huitlacoche quesadilla, tacos el pastor, and the bowl. All so so good! My personal favorite were quesadilla soooo good and filling!“

“I was looking for a restaurant that serves Mexican food ? due to the face the only other one I been too is like 40 minutes away so we decided to find one closer to home before going to work n honestly I was amazed how nice we were treated and the food was delicious I mean I still full and the serves and cook ask if we would like veggies in are food due to the fact we don't eat meat and the price was cheap so thank you for serving us a delicious meal I will be coming back againVegetarian options: They can make anything Vegan-friendly if you don't eat meat.“

“I would pass this place on my way to work and I was very interested to see what they have to offer. First thing was the atmosphere, it's cozy intimate and feels like home. Walking in there the music wasn't loud, everyone in there looked like they were having a blast. The servers were attentive and so sweet. I've never been in a place in NJ where the servers are kind, very welcoming and you can tell every staffer gets along. Growing up in the US and having the authenticity of Mexican food, they did phenomenal. I'm mexican and the food were top notched. I just loved everything this place has to offer. I cannot wait to come back with more people to see how amazing this place is. I love it 10 out of 10.“

“We had a great meal at LaColina Mexican Cantina. We got seated pretty quick but we did get there by 6… got a little more crowded at 7 on a Saturday night. Food options were great as well as the drinks. Atmosphere was great also and there was a good amount of people there on a Saturday night. Just one down side… I don’t like that they automatically add on 20% tip on the bill. Tip should be based on great service and at the customers discretion.“

“These are the BEST quesabirria tacos I have EVER had! They taste like home ?? tacos come with cheese and a very delicious consume. It was not too salty nor too watery, but a perfect consistency. The carne was seasoned to perfection, and it was a nice amount. They were not cheap with the portions! You get 3 nice big tacos.This is definitely a Hidden Gem in the East Coast ! Restaurant is extremely clean and staff is really friendly. You have to give them a try!“

“I recently order takeout and was blown away by the amazing food, generous portions, and top-notch customer service. Every dish was bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection, leaving me fully satisfied. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. I highly recommend – it’s definitely worth a visit!“

“Awesome place. Food is great!“

“Real authentic Mexican food. Delicious all l kinds of tamales!“

“Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had! Steak burrito is excellent and shrimp tacos are AMAZING! My husband and I prefer the truck food over the physical restaurant location, the food seems more flavorful. The prices are great and the service is very friendly.“

“Todo muy bonito y las personas q atienden a los clientes muy buenas personas muy humildes recomiendo este restaurante ❤️❤️“

“Loved the futbol game playing in the background, how homey it felt to eat there. Split birria tacos and tacos dorados with a date. Both were amazing, even dipping the tacos dorados into the birria consume. The horchata was okay. But the space was perfect for a cute calm date. Would definitely go back.“

“Fandango’s street tacos are awesome. We took a tray of these to a New Year’s Eve party in Glen Ridge and they were a big hit!“

“Great place, food and atmosphere.“

“I have been a customer since opening day way back when. Today, I was a bit disappointed. Jose's rice was extremely salty. 2 of us could not eat it. I am disappointed in the nachos. You used to have fabulous flour tortilla chips. Not any more. They are corn. Overdone. Not a fan. Tortillas were great, especially the duo of skirt steak and chicken. Go back to the old flour tortilla nachos!“

“Es una persona muy amigable“

“Wifey and I have been talking about going to Fat Fish Taco for eight years - since they opened - but we FINALLY made it last night. And we. Both agreed we were idiots for waiting so long. This place reminded both of us of being in a Jersey shore restaurant - pleasing and simple decor, friendly people, and good food. They were mostly filled when we got there, but we were seated immediately and started looking over the menu. We opened our wine (yep, it's BYOB) and they brought us some glasses. It was pretty tough deciding what to have. First we considered an appetizer and a couple tacos each, but then the table next to us got their nachos and we decided on those and one taco each. We ordered the nachos with chicken, Wifey got the Baja taco and I had the Blackened Sole taco. Man...it was all good. Kudos to the owner, Steve, and the wait staff. The tacos were delicious and everything tasted so fresh. The nachos were great too, though I would have liked more chicken on them. The chips tasted fresh and everything on top was just amazing. We finished off the evening with a slice of Key Lime pie with two spoons. It's not a stretch to say this is the best Key Lime pie I've ever eaten...anywhere. Could not have asked for a better meal...as Wifey said, it was an "Unexpected Delight. Took us 8 years to finally come here...won't be 8 years til our next visit, that's for sure. Worth every penny.“

“I like to go to this mexican / tex mex restaurant. The food is always fresh and they quick on serving your food. Also the flavor of the dishes are really yummy. And the breakfast is a kick to start your day. Specially the torta de milanesa which is my favorite“

“We went to Alfonso’s following my parents’ wedding for a small dinner. The service was absolutely incredible, all the servers were so attentive and friendly. They went above and beyond to create a fun and memorable experience for us. They cut and served a wedding cake and also played the wedding song for my parents. We had the best time and truly were so grateful to the servers for their attentiveness! We all loved our meals. The tacos were a hit and so were the quesadillas. Drinks were also tasty and they were very accommodating to offering vegetarian alternatives as well! I will absolutely recommend Anthony’s to anyone wanting to have a delicious dinner and memorable time !“

“I've tried hundreds of Mexican spots all over the country. Im from NJ... been to mexico 5 times. This is literally my favorite spot that I have tried in the states. The owner cares so much and makes everything "home made". Try it and see for yourself.“

“This is my 2nd time coming here for a quick local eat. While i was waiting for my food, i got toasted hot chips with salsa. I got the chicken fajita and it was really good. Enough flavor without it tasting like only salt was added. The portion is huge! I also got a mexican corn, 3 carnitas tacos and quesadilla to go. I will definitely come back to this hidden gem again as the service was great. Lady greeted me with warmth.“

“The best Mexican I’ve had outside of Texas or California. I’m so glad I wandered in.Funny story: I was looking for a place to drink while my wife ate. When her food came and I tasted her birria torta, i had to get something myself. I got the chicken enchiladas suizas.Very greasy, fatty and delicious. Perfect hangover food.“

“Tienda Valentina's Restaurant was a lovely Mexican store and restaurant. They had everything you could think of, from coffee and sweet bread to Carne enchilada to groceries. Today, we bought 3 beef empanadas, one order of Huevos Ala Mexicanan, and one Torta de Jamon (with everything). The food was extremely tasty, flavorful, and rich. The portions were big, the Oaxacan cheese on the whole was a beautiful touch, and the empanadas were stuffed full! I am so happy to have come along this quaint and conveniently located restaurant and store. We will be returning very soon.Valentina's Restaurant Store was a lovely Mexican store and restaurant.

“Dinner was delicious! The food came quickly and the kids were thrilled with their quesadillas. Guacamole was good. Chicken enchiladas verdes was great. Service was pleasant and attentive. If we lived in New Jersey we’d go back for sure!“
