15 Best Mexican Restaurants near Long Valley

“I came here with a party of 6 and 2 little pups after a hike in HackleBarney Trails - they were very friendly and accommodating. We sat in their outdoor seating area and it was very cute and cozy. The food was also really good. We had Quesadillas, Carne Asada, Bistec Encebollado, and Fajitas. We all cleaned our plates! Everything was delicious and our waitress kept checking in to make sure everything was going well. Def would come here again if I'm in the area!“

“Blown away by the delicious food I purchased! Everything was fresh and homemade/authentic. The nachos never got soggy, stayed crispy and fresh for hours after. The taco plates we purchased were flavorful and top quality. I will definitely be back! Yum!“

“We road the Columbia rail trail with our e bikes, 22 miles round trip. Stop to ask a man and his wife about a good place to eat around there. They suggested El Patron. Not only did they recommend they join us for an early dinner. The food was awesome. We will stop by there again on our next trip to this area“

“I was super impressed by the steak fajitas. The steak that was prepared was excellent quality, cooked perfectly medium-rare as requested. I feel like usually lower-quality steak is used for fajitas at your typical LatAm restaurant, so I was pleasantly surprised when I received a high-quality steak that could’ve been it’s own entree as the meat for my fajita. The cocktails were also fantastic! We had a paloma, a batanga, and a mojito. And the service was perfect as well.“

“This place has charm and the very welcoming lady and gentleman that might be the owners made it even better. The food was tasty and the prices were fair for the amount of food you get. Would totally come back. And their ají de árbol is delicious. Always a joy to try and support the local restaurants. Totally recommend.“

“Walk off the streets of Chester and be transported south of the border! This quaint but vibrant "joint" provided rich and quality dishes of hearty proportions. Between the intensely intimate dining floor, the authentic music & decor, and the friendly service, Aztec Mexican in Chester, NJ, is an excellent lunch/dinner option for those who enjoy a flavor of South America and "hole-in-the-wall" styled dining. noteables: - reasonable pricing - BYOB“

“I had the Chimichanga. It was excellent. The oil used to fry it was definitely fresh. Fried to perfection, golden color, and crispy. The owner was very nice. My only complaint would be that it would be nice if there was a small scoop of rice and beans in the container. I thought there was or I would have ordered a small side. I won't assume next time.“

“Love this Pancheros! The burrito fillings are mixed well and tortillas are delicious. The taco salads and quesadillas are also quite good. I usually like the steak or tofu options. The saucier the better flavor. The staff is usually pretty nice.Now for my standard comments as of December 2023. Location is kept clean and seating is both comfortable and spacious.“

“We ended up getting takeout tacos from here to bring across the street to Buttzville Brewery. It was pretty quick from when we ordered to when our food was ready to pick up our order. We got an order of steak street tacos, an order of chicken street tacos and guacamole. The tacos are quite small, but it was nice to get a couple different options to share to try multiple flavors. The tacos came with a green and a red sauce - both packed with flavor but the red one was SPICY in the best way and kept getting spicier after you swallowed. The guacamole was fantastic with lots of chunks of onion, cilantro and tomato. Truly a perfect sharable snack to bring to a brewery and share with a small group.“

“Service was great. I was going to tip 20 percent so that would have been 10. Service was so good I tipped 30 ! Nice kids thereParking: No problemKid-friendliness: They would have loved kids if I had them. Staff was awesome but the food was too !“

“Great food and drinks with exceptional service. This is an authentic Mexican restaurant that serves real Mexican food rather than bland Tex-Mex. I love this place and have never had a bad dish. Friendly, family run, spotless, and a gem in Lake Hopatcong.“

“Food was delicious but the gorditas had barely any meat. Seemed underwhelming compared to all the photos you see online stuffed with chicharon. But, everything else was solid. I would not eat there again not because it was bad, but because it wasn’t memorable for any reason. Worth the money but for one time only.“

“The food is amazing! Authentic and delicious. The best frozen margarita I've had. The place is nicely decorated. It wasnt over the top. The bartender who served us was super nice. When we left every staff member out said bye. Just a very warm and pleasant experience. The prices are on point. We live in PA about 30 minutes away and it's worth coming back, which we will!“

“This cafe is a great little spot along the main drag of Hackettstown. I have always gone for lunch and the food has been consistent and delicious. I typically get the beef empanadas and a chicken quesadilla. The service is quick and the environment is welcoming.“

“Honestly the most legitimate tacos I have ever eaten, and I have been to many authentic and famous Mexican restaurants. Hands down the best!! Dangerous as now this will become my new cheat meal, LOL. Muchachos no cambien absolutamente nada, esta perferto!“
