The first time I went there. The food was good. The prices is very high. There is no parking lot. Have to find parking. Services also good.

We had a party of 12 for an engagement party. Called a few days before to let them know. We had a great time, food was amazing and service was awesome. I would like to thank everyone there. I suggest visiting them for great food.

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.

Been coming here for years and realized I've never left a review. Except for a Mexican restaurant in Secaucus, you won't find much better Mexican food in the area besides Mariachi Grill. We haven't dined in since pre-C19 when they still had the long bar along the right side of the restaurant. There's definitely more seating now, which is a great thing. Parking is street-only but you can normally find a spot pretty easily. Service has always been attentive, fast, and friendly. But the food is chef's kiss! The complimentary chips and salsa are fantastic. Definitely better when you get them fresh and in person versus driving them home 15-20 minutes away when you do pickup. I normally stick to chicken fajitas or empanadas, but this time, had the shrimp fajitas. Decent amount of shrimp, but it's honestly pretty hard to mess up fajitas. I've never had a complaint about them. My GF usually likes their quesadillas but ever since she had their green sauce, she can't get enough of the enchiladas, which are covered in it. I think if she could buy a 5-gallon container, she would. I highly recommend Mariachi Grill. I used to drive here from Secaucus, and now I drive here from Montclair (because there's no good Mexican food in Montclair, especially at this price point).

Ordered online to be delivered. Saw it was going to be close to an hour but was delivered in roughly 30 minutes (sweet) We ordered carnita burrito, chicken tacos and sweet plantains. Absolutely delicious! Beyond what i expected. Definitely will order again.

For Taco Tuesday, I stopped at Mariachi Grill and got dinner to go. I ordered online, which was a very smooth process and everything was ready when I got there. There is street parking only, so this could potentially be a problem but wasn't for me in this particular case. Everyone was very helpful when I got there and they even called me fairly quickly after I ordered as they had to alter something slightly. We started with the chips and guac, the flautas and the al pastor tacos. Both my wife and myself got the chicken burrito. Guacamole was very good and a very generous portion. The flautas were interesting. Not something I would get again but that's just because it really wasn't my thing. The tacos were very good. The burrito was excellent. Extremely tasty. So why 4 stars opposed to 5? The chips that came with the guac had melted cheese which hardened by the time I got home. It was just very odd. Also, the burrito just came as a burrito in a takeout tin. No rice or beans. Again, I just found that very odd especially being that the price kind of made sense if it came with rice and beans. All in all, a very solid place for Mexican food. I may try it again and eat in the next time. Everything was solid all around. There was just a few weird things that threw me a curveball. Burrito...... VERY TASTY. Just add a little side of rice and beans and it'll be a masterpiece.

Service, Food, and Ambiance all wonderful. Cute, cozy, very clean, small restaurant on a main road of town. Food was yummy. Will definitely come back again.

The food came out hot and delicious, had the wet burrito with green salsa. They had other dishes that I want to try.

This very casual, brightly colored Mexican BYOB restaurant located on Ridge Road in Lyndhurst was an unexpectedly good dining experience. Mariachi Grill offers terrific service and generous portions of authentic Mexican cuisine - specializing in traditional burritos, fajitas, chicken and steak entrees, seafood, and salads - at a reasonable price. Based solely on Yelp reviews and ratings, my dining companions and I stopped by Mariachi Grill for dinner on a recent Friday night after a visit to a nearby microbrewery in Carlstadt. To be Frank, we were somewhat worried about our decision to try Mariachi Grill after we walked into a completely empty restaurant at 745pm on a Friday. I think this an establishment caters to locals rather than being a 'drive to' destination and the rainy weather that night kept most of the regular customers at home to order take-out or delivery (which seemed to be happening a lot while we were there). At our server's recommendation, we added an order of the guacamole to the complimentary tortilla chips and freshly-made garlic-forward salsa served as soon as we sat down, which was freshly-made and very tasty. I had the Mariachi Chicken Mole ($23), comprised of a generous portion of thinly-pounded chicken breast smothered with mole sauce and served with a side of rice and beans. The homemade mole sauce was very tasty and the portion size was very filling. My regular dining companion initially said she'd wanted something light but opted instead for the Camarones in Garlic Sauce ($24), a dish comprised of sautéed shrimp stewed with peppers and onions in a red garlic sauce and served with a side of rice and beans, which she enjoyed very much (and cleaned her plate). Service was very friendly and attentive but not overwhelming. Pro Tip: Mariachi Grill doesn't have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of on-street parking off Ridge Road.

Had a craving for some Mexican food so we decided to make our way over for dinner one Thursday at around 8 PM. There were a few tables dining and some takeout orders at that time. To start, they give you some complimentary chips and salsa, which I really appreciate. We ordered some tacos al pastor as an app, and these were pretty good. For my main, I had the chorizo quesadilla. It's a pretty big portion, which they cut into four pieces and since I had already eaten 2 tacos, I ate one piece of the quesadilla and was already full. The chorizo was good. It wasn't too oily. Hubby had the wet burrito with beef. I don't like soggy burritos, but he seemed to enjoy it.Overall, it's a pretty good Mexican spot if you're looking for a sit down/date night and not just casual tacos to go.Tip - there's no lot but there's plenty of street parking outside

Wow! The service was superb the food was even better. We had the chorizo nachos, large portion which we completely finished between the 2 of us. I had the chicken enchiladas with rice/beans and I can tell you its one of the best in Bergen County. Flavorful and I had leftovers to bring home too!
