Experience Ridgefield Park's Mexican food at these fantastic spots.
“Suburbs living means finding everything new again. I must say, we are so happy to have found a solid Mexican place!! We've been ordering take out from here for the past 2 years and every thing is always so great. Tacos: delicious, homemade tortillas, and a large portion. Enchiladas: so flavorful, delicious, and large portion as well. You name it, they nail it... burritos, empanadas, sope, sopas, and more! Wondering why I didn't give it 5 stars if I'm clearing raving about their food excellence.. honestly it's the service to a degree. Every time we call to order with either it's a pick up or delivery it always feels like they're rushing you, all over the place, or unsure of the address. It's almost comical because we don't end up having an issue with the food, but the actually interaction leaves you with the suspense of.. did they write down my order right or something has to go wrong... The place itself is a small hole in the wall with a few tables. I've seen some people dine in but it's definitely more of your take out restaurant. Either way, I'm here for it and truly enjoy ordering from them all the time.“
“First, the great: order the chilaquiles for brunch. It’s a great non-traditional “elevated” take that retains all the beloved parts of the dish: the soggy-crunchy texture, the fried egg. The twists made sense, from the creamy non-spicy salsa to the hearty beans and mole crunch. It appeals to Americans’ preference for creamy foods. Also, if you can handle a bit of heat, order anything with salsa macha, a slightly spicy smoky-nutty chili oil.The bad: temperature and texture. It felt like most of the food sat at the counter for a long time before they got delivered to our table, or they didn’t even bother to cook the food. The tuna tostada and spring pea tlayuda sat on a soggy, leathery base. The chilaquiles did not touch the stove, just a bunch of chips tossed in sauce. The tacos arrived pretty close to room temp. Flavors were pleasant, but I expected something more intense or interesting from a Michelin place.Overall, the food’s pretty darn good for the price despite the flaws.“
“Had a delicious long brunch today and loved every second! The food was absolutely delicious and so were the drinks. We started with frozen margaritas, I had watermelon he had mango. Then fresh guacamole with fresh made big chips. Amazing! For mains I had the huevos rancheros which were cooked perfectly. Loved it. For dessert I had the chocolate pudding and he had the tres leches cake which were both fantastic. The service was so wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!“
“I stopped by for drinks around 7pm on a Saturday with some friends. Thankfully there was a table available and we were seated right away. Bosco's has an extensive drink menu, and happy hour if you go during certain times on weekdays. The drinks were average NY prices, and were very good. I got the Sam Said So, while my friend got a Negroni. Both were very good! The service was great, and the decor was fun.“
“My all time favorite taco place in the city. Los Tacos No.1 was my favorite until I tried this place. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of their tacos but their pastor is my favorite. Whenever I am in BK, I will always make a stop here. Also try Tako Sando and Mallard Drake (al pastor hamburger) which is right down the “
“Went to Superbueno after the Bad Bunny conocer with my friends. We were able to be seated ride away, our drinks were tasty and pork belly tacos savory, rich with flavor. My mouth is legit watery thinking back about it. The music and vibe was popping. But what stood out to me the most was the service and workers, they looked like they enjoyed working there, all smiles and friendly. I love that. Would definitely come back!“
“Before I even lived in the neighborhood Jajaja was easily one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I have brought so many friends here because it is perfect from anywhere to a date night to a chill lunch/dinner to catch up with friends. Their cocktails are amazing especially their version of an espresso martini. All of the staff is so friendly and always make sure you're taken care of at all times. On top of everything and most importantly the food is AMAZING. Although I am not vegan anymore, I still can call this my favorite restaurant because they do everything on their menu so well and it's rare in my experience where vegan food is indistinguishable from non-plant based food and my favorite is the enchiladas mole. Highly recommend!“
“We walked by Sombrero Restaurant last night needing a place to eat before a 7pm show. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was clean and lively. The wait staff was friendly and the food/beverages were excellent. Prices were very reasonable. A great choice. Definitely recommend.“
“Had a birthday celebration here and the food was so delicious. Staff super friendly. The place itself was LES style, seemingly cramped but as a native I know that’s just how things were built back then. Glad my sister made the reservation to eat here ✨“
“Amazing tacos that are vegan! So delicious with good flavors and ingredients. We had the huilacoche, buffalo flower, and jackfruit carnitas. For drinks the popcorn y pasion was so smoothe, sweet and savory. Interior vibes was also so pretty! Highly recommend!“
“This is a super tasty food place, it makes me feel back in the days somewhere in Oaxaca. Dishes are very spicy, I love that but just letting you know, service was great, the place I would say it’s not like to hangout for too long but I feel it’s part of the concept.“
“Folks from California in particular like to complain that New York doesn't have good Mexican food, which is of course patently untrue. You just have to know where to look, what to order. I got the poblano mole here which I would definitely recommend. (I also had the handmade tortillas with this.) My husband got a burrito, which was fine, I think, but no "mission burrito" (IYKYK). Both of us had clean plates though -- the testament of a good meal I thought the salsas that came with the chips and salsa were all pretty good too. Nothing was mind blowing but the service was super friendly and I walked away with my food cravings pretty satisfied.“
“Best cuban food!!!! The elote was grilled and seasoned to perfection! The plantains were also crispy and soooo flavorful! Iris was very attentive and super kind! Service was fast and efficient! The spicy margarita was delicious! Overall, great experience, awesome good and outstanding service!“
“Love! Love! Love! I come atleast once a week for the last 2 years! it’s a friendly environment and the fooood is everything. Yonkers finest margaritas for sure I highly recommend ask for pavel she’s definitely the best bartender!!!! ???“
“Great vegan cuisine--their three dips are amazing, especially their cheese.Loved the two cocktails I ordered, and given their extensive Mezcal list, I know I'll be back for more. Wonderful service, servers and manager were so kind and accommodating! And don't forget to order dessert.Dietary restrictions: Our server asked right away as we ordered, if we had any allergies.“
“The place is awesome! My first time here. The experience of the colors, music, people and the atmosphere is everything a person can ask for IN ADDITION to the amazing flavors of the food.My waiter was Daniel, who I believe is also one of the bartenders. Super nice guy, friendly and very attentive.I’ll be back again and again and again!“
“After being delighted by our first Los Tacos No 1 experience, we headed to Los Mariscos for our last food stop before leaving NYC. We ate it on the bus, so my memories are a bit blurry.The ceviche especial ($7.50) was delicious! I loved the crispy tostada and the savory citrusy flavors. I think there could've been a higher seafood:vegetable ratio, but the flavors and textures made up for the sparse amount of seafood.I tried the tacos a bit past their peak, but they were still pretty good. Overall I think I prefer the meats I had at Los Tacos, but it's hard to compare since I didn't have the seafood tacos fresh.I definitely want to return and dine in!“
“Was on an afternoon walk with a friend. Stopped in and had a drink and had the Guacamole as an appetizer.. I gotta say they were both delicious. Only thing I wana say is that they added a credit card charge when I was paying cash. But was taken care of when I brought it to there attention. Otherwise the place was spot on.. Definitely gona try the Ceviche and the avocado margarita next time..P.s. they have backyard seating!!!!“
“We came here on the recommendation of a friend and even with her glowing review, we were still blown away! Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were a steal. Our family had the truffle quesadillas, the carne asada tacos, and the langosta tacos. We shared an order of guac and the kids had the flan and churros for dessert. Great dinner; we can't wait to return!“
“I'll keep this short and to the point: this is the best burrito I've had in the city hands down, and it's not close. Everything fresh and phenomenally seasoned, the lengua is succulent, the al pastor just the right spicy-sweet mix, I can't wait to try a few more meats. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out quick. As far as ambiance, getting in and out of there in record time is all you really want from a food truck. The best.“
“We enjoyed the food and amazing service here. The ambiance is cozy and perfect if you’re going in a date night.Also this is a BYOB place so you can get your own bottle.The Guac & chips were fresh and delicious.The tacos were good too.We also tried a new dish - Salta Patras Ceviche and it was delicious.Special mentioned to the Tres leches which wasn’t over sweet.Definitely try out this place. It deserves more spotlight.“
“Easily one of my favorite al vegan spots in Manhattan (and there are plenty to chose from). Went for brunch with non-vegan friends and family and EVERYONE loved it - clean plate club all around. Highlight for me was easily the corn ribs. Don't pass on the churros either. Family loved the nachos. Great atmosphere too, vibey without the music blasting so you can actually have a nice conversation. Definitely one of my favorite spots to date.“
“This is some of the best food of any kind l've had in my 45 years living in NYC. Honestly, it's amazing, chef Jose is delightful and his dishes are so nuanced and delicious. Octopus tostados are heavenly, I have no idea what all it consist of but they are delicious. There are three, I can't eat more than two but the last is always enjoyed by someone else at the table. Burrito are a staple for my lunch/dinner... so fresh and comforting. AND I'm not really a fan of most Mexican food but this is on a whole other level. I just finished a salad of shrimp, avocado, mango, cherry tomato, with paper thin fennel shredded on top. The shrimp are cooked to perfection, not rubbery at all but ever so slightly firm and succulent. I live in Manhattan and there isn't anything near me as delicious and fresh.It’s really a special place.“
“Ive been here a couple of times and as a LA native, this place definitely makes tacos that remind me of home. There is only outdoor seating so I would keep that in mind if you plan on visiting during colder weather. But The tacos were delicious and I got way more queso and chips than I was expecting. They were sold out the last time I stopped by so that should give you a good idea of the quality of the food.“
“Amazing food and service! We ordered the beef nachos to share and I got the taco with steak and boy do they bless it with the portions! I was visiting and a friend brought me here so definitely would want to come back next time I’m around!“
“Recent dinner at Tacombi definitely hit the spot. The tacos are packed with well seasoned meat, the crispy fish was nicely dressed with slaw and sauce, the salsa are delicious and pack a nice little punch. The tostada was crispy with a flavorful avocado topping and the quesadilla just barely visible under the mountain of Al pastor. My michelada was nice but I'd give the agave wine margs a pass if you're a marg purist. Juan Carlos took great care of us. On hand just when we needed with what we needed, friendly, and left us plenty of time to chow and digest before sending us on our merry way. We really enjoyed the little cabana - it's nice when the COVID inspired street cabana matches the good vibes indoors so even the dog can enjoy the night out.“
“This was a delivery order and it was my first time. Mexican food can be hit or miss, especially from city to city. This was a hit right out of the park. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with guacamole and chips, and one side of salsa and a side of guacamole. Portions were impressively large. The burrito was a 10 out of 10. The guacamole was also a 10 and the price for all of it was very reasonable, especially for NYC. This place is a game changer. Whatever you're doing... Keep on doing it!“
“This is my first time at this restaurant. My friend found it for us and he specifically picked it because he heard it had good cocktails. we ordered four different cocktails. All of them were pretty good. I wish I remembered the names of them but the blue cup with the pink outside was one that was my favorite. By far the ceviche was bomb. The guac a little bit of flavor for me, but mixing it with the ceviche made that even pretty darn good. Really enjoyed the fish taco over the other two pictured. we got the Maduros which were fresh and yuka fries. we also got the octopus which I thoroughly enjoyed. The chipotle, shrimp in the pineapple was honestly not my favorite. My friend really enjoyed it as he enjoyed sweet dishes, but it was too sweet for me. Overall, I definitely recommend a place. Definitely get the ceviche and the octopus! And I'm not even a big seafood person to say that. The service was great, and while we were there, the waiter even gave us a shot on the house. So check it out.“
“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“
“Mamsitas offers an authentic Mexican dining experience with vibrant decor and a lively atmosphere. The menu features standout dishes like handcrafted tacos and rich mole poblano. The service is friendly and efficient, making for a pleasant meal from start to finish. With reasonable prices and delicious margaritas, Mamsitas is a fantastic choice for anyone craving genuine Mexican flavors in a festive setting. Highly recommended for a casual dinner or a festive night out!“
“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“
“I've gone 2 times within the past 2 weeks and I'm hooked. You might not expect it walking in, but it's the perfect little gem for Hackensack. The taco tuesday specials are great but the delicious tacos make it more worth it. The margaritas are yummy too“
“Stop by for dinner without a reservation and The Manager and hostess were very accommodating on a very busy night . We had the fish empanadas that were deliciousA couple of MargaritasGrilled Branzino and fish schnitzelA wonderful experienceKudos to the CheffExcellent service, fantastic food and great atmosphere!Definitely a special place“
“Best tacos in New York CityWhen I come to New York, all I think about is Rostaco.It's really delicious here tooTacos and Consome are steamedIf you see it while passing by, be sure to try it!!!This is a really good restaurant that locals know!!!“
“We’ve come here a few times, and it gets better with every visit! The pickle pear margarita was outstanding and everything we ordered (guacamole, scallops, and rib eye) were all excellent. Our server, Chris, was super attentive and very helpful with the menu — just overall a fantastic dinner and experience. Looking forward to coming back soon!“
“Tacombi UES is the best Mexican on the upper east side. The food, service, and drinks are all oustanding. Mauricio is also one the best bartenders I’ve ever had. He is personable and attentive and makes fantastic drinks. Highly recommend tacombi UES to anyone looking for authentic Mexican street tacos and fantastic drinks made by Mauricio.“
“Sloppy and yummy Mexican tacos. So so so good! The taste was great, so flavourful. The soup next to it was perfect. I would highly recommend this place. Price was a little steep for my understanding but maybe that’s just the area. Friendly staff, cute atmosphere and great taste. What a dinner! Be prepared to get your hands dirty!“
“I have been going to G's for over 20 years. The food is excellent. I love the breakfast burrito with chorizo, and their tortas, and their flautas. Everything thing is outstanding. They make great coffee The service is awesome. Very nice.“
“lovely hidden gem on Avenue A between 13th and 14th streets. The place is family owned and operated and the food is to do for. It is reasonably priced, I often find myself trying to figure out if I want a tamale or a shredded beef or pork taco.“
“Absolutely excellent! This place did not disappoint AT ALL. Having multiple Mexican restaurants very close to their location they stand out for their authenticity to the Mexican flavors. Julio was an excellent host as one of the owners/managers. So happy I had that experience at mayahuel, definitely going back.“
“I love coming to this location! The service is always on point. Attentive waitstaff and fresh tasting food. The drinks are delicious as well. The ambiance is so nice and the music was a nice mix of Spanish music. If you're lucky enough to have Luis as your server he is 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.“
“Some clients took me here on a business trip. I'm from Texas and was skeptical about Mexican food in NYC but this place was amazing. Drinks were strong and food was absolutely delicious, plenty of options on the menu as well, highly recommend!“
“We were looking for a drink spot in Williamsburg with a nice sunset view and we may have stumbled on the best one in the neighborhood. People were very nice, the outdoor seating comfortable, our margaritas excellent but the reason to come here is for the amazing views. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and it's breathtaking from just about any vantage point. Expect this to become impossible to get into as the weather warms up - also curious to try the food, which looked the part but we didn't have a chance to try.“
“Service was really great, all of the different positions of staff were very attentive! Go for the guac and 7 salsas, will not disappoint. The criticisms, I had were surrounding the price points, and menu variety. The prices were absolutely too high for the portions! I understand a small, curated menu, but it was too eclectic for what it was!“
“This place is amazing! The food is always fresh, employees are very friendly and the prices are unbelievable. I can’t believe you get that much food for such an affordable price. I have been here 3 days in a row and the only thing I’m mad about is that I just found out about this place 3 days ago.“
“I have been dining at La Flor since they first opened a while ago. Chef Viko is very creative and does a regular menu plus seasonal specials. He uses farmer’s market ingredients and is very generous with the portions. Expect to see very colorful and tasty combinations. The core of the menu here is Mexican food with French and Italian notes. The home made pastries and desserts are a solid plus to the dining experience. The wine list has Ben carefully selected and the moderate prices don’t sacrifice the quality. In all, La Flor is one of my favorites in New York City.Vegetarian options: Salads, seasonal veggies.Dietary restrictions: The chef is very knowledgeable and kind and is willing to accommodate special requests.Kid-friendliness: Family place and everyone is welcome.“
“Embarking on a culinary expedition to this local taqueria, I found myself ensconced in a veritable fiesta of flavors and textures, a testament to the prowess of the owner, Jose, whose recommendations became the lodestar of our gastronomic journey. The Steak a la Mexicano Tacos were a triumph of generosity, with portions scoring a robust 9/10, each bite a harmonious blend of succulence and spice, though the freshness fluttered at a 7/10, leaving a slight yearning for the zest of just-plucked produce. The Chicken Fajita Quesadilla was a vibrant tapestry of flavor, meriting an 8/10, with the cheese melting into the well-seasoned chicken in a decadent embrace, though the ingredients, while robust, hovered at a 7/10, occasionally lacking the punch of peak harvest vivacity.The Barbacoa Soup was a simmering cauldron of comfort, its depth and complexity cocooning the soul in warmth, yet it too danced around the 7/10 mark for freshness, suggesting a slight detour from the garden's embrace. The service, however, was unparalleled, a perfect 10/10, with staff moving with the precision and grace of seasoned culinarians, ensuring every need was anticipated and met with a smile.Presentation was an 8/10, each dish a canvas where color and form played in delightful harmony, inviting the eye to feast long before the palate. Overall, the experience was a solid 8.5/10, a delectable sojourn that promises to beckon the taste buds back to its doors. This taqueria, under the sage guidance of Jose, melds tradition with a hint of modernity, crafting an ambiance where each visit unfurls new layers of culinary delight.“
“Nice atmosphere, really tasty and cheap meals. We had lunch, 2 people for $26 which is great for the area. Very generous plates and burritos, with drink included and little carrot cake for desert. Only if you really eat a lot will be able to finish the plate! Recommend!!“
“Suburbs living means finding everything new again. I must say, we are so happy to have found a solid Mexican place!!
