THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Elote - DELICIOUS. Whole corn was perfectly grilled and each and every bite was addictively tasty with the chili powder, queso fresco and mayo mixed in. + Guacomole & Salsa - Verrry, verrry good. Possibly some of the BEST guacamole we've ever had. It wasn't super thick and was so smooth, which made it easy to dip the chips in. Unfortunately, we had a surplus of chips compared to guac so we definitely could have used a larger serving. + Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla - Perfect for our kids. Quesadilla was simple, but delicious and hot right off the grill. Plenty of chicken inside too. + Shrimp Fajitas - Delicious. There was a lot of ingredients mixed in - roasted peppers, onions and lots of melted cheese on top. Only knock was that there were just 2 large tortillas. We could have used 1 more large one or a bunch of smaller ones. + 3 Tacos - Chorizo, Carne al Pastor and Bistec tacos were all excellent! There was sooooo much meat pouring out from each one, so to say the amount of meat in the order was generous is understating it. ==== The Chorizo was actually sliced pieces of sausage, which was good, but I do love the ground version more. Nevertheless, still super flavorful. ==== If you love a good kick, the Carne al Pastor is for you. A bit too spicy for me, where it overpowered the flavor of the meat. ==== The steak actually wasn't really seasoned, which was a surprise. However, in a strange way, it worked considering all of the ingredients mixed in - onions, scallions. BUT, if you were to just eat the steak outside of the taco, you might find it disappointing. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Waiter was friendly, however, he always seemed very busy, so it was tough flagging him down when we needed him sometimes. + Despite it being very busy on a Saturday evening, food arrived very quickly after we ordered, THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Located right in the heart of the Rutherford downtown area where there are plenty of other restaurants. + No private parking lot, so street parking is your only option. + Spacious restaurant and beautifully decorated inside, especially in the back half where the tables and chairs have designs on them. + Music was constantly blaring, some traditional Mexican music, but they also mixed in reggaeton, which was interesting considering that it was a Mexican restaurant. + Relatively clean interior. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- + Was busy on a Saturday evening at 6 PM and as early diners left, more folks just kept coming in, so we KNEW we made the right decision coming to dine here.

Came with side of lemon wedges, green and red sauce, container of chopped onions and cilantro. We added on diced pineapple and supplied our own avocado and sour cream. We had plenty leftover for another meal which we vacuum sealed and froze for later on! Only caveat was I prefer flour tortillas and that was an up charge of like $18! I can buy a huge pack at supermarket for $3. Overall much cheaper than what it would have cost us to make everything from scratch! Highly recommend and looking forward to trying other options in future!

A hidden gem for authentic Mexican food in NJ!…read more I recently visited The Mariachi Grill and was blown away by the flavors and portions. I tried the birria tacos, fresh guacamole with chips, avocado salad, mixed seafood in red sauce, churrasco, chicken flautas, and chicken enchiladas -- all served with rice and beans. Everything tasted homemade, especially the salsas, which added that perfect kick. The patio is lovely, great for dining outdoors, and it's BYOB, which is a huge plus! If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with great service and a chill vibe in Lyndhurst, this place is a must.

I wanted to support a small business, but the food and service declined with each visit. There's frequently an issue with the card reader, and one time, another customer even ended up with my card--so be careful. Many of the positive reviews seem to come from friends and family, and I've never seen the place busy. While the owner is friendly, he doesn't come across as professional, and even his wife no longer comes around. I wouldn't come back, even if it were free.
