Food is always so fresh and flavorful and the owner and his team are always pleasant and great

What an amazing find! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Tacos come 4 per order but for $1 more you can pick two types. If you order a burrito you actually get two of them so again you can get two different ones. Their chips are sooooo good. Greasy but to die for. I am actually happy when we finish them because otherwise I would keep on eating them. The guacamole is super fresh (ask for fresh jalapeños in it if you want it spicy) their normal spicy just has the green salsa in it. read more

Delicious guacamole! Red salsa is fantastic! Generous portions! Everyone working is super kind! Dine in available. Cash only!

Quick and delicious authentic Mexican food. Friendly staff and generous portions. Cash only spot so bring paper.

Cash only! They do not take cards, so come prepared! There is a small ordering area in front and there is additional seating on the side. Really nice staff. Ordered the pastor tacos. Absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The green salsa that comes with the chips are NOT mild. I like spice but it was a tad much even for me. read more

Just a heads up, La Mixteca is cash only! After doing two short hikes at Silas Condict Park, my friend and I came to La Mixteca feeling quite peckish... my friend ordered bistec (steak) tacos, which came with 4 tacos for $10. I ordered two chicken tacos and two chicken empanadas. We sat in the adjacent dining room and the food was brought out within a few minutes. The guy who we assumed is the owner or manager even brought out two cups with ice for us to share our bottle of Jarritos when I just asked him for a cup, which was very considerate! Our food was DELICIOUS - the meat was so tender and flavorful in both, and the green and red hot sauces that were brought out were so good. The empanadas were my personal favorite. The portions were great and we were stuffed despite barely eating breakfast that morning. The guy who was working there was so sweet and my friend and I wish we spoke more Spanish to be able to talk to him conversationally. Regardless, we would probably be back here weekly if we didn't live an hour away! read more

Ordered empanadas! The chicken was great The cheese? Need to avoid.I was some plastic looking white stuff that they referred to as 'moszarella" It was definitely not that read more

We've eaten here for takeout at least 5 times and i'm blown away at how good they are, if you want authentic Mexican in the butler/ bloomingdale area without the overpriced American influence ( LoL) then this is your game. This is reminiscent of the taco joints I frequented in the spanish neighborhoods in Queens, the Lengua tacos are great and are as the Birria tacos which they serve with consommé , some of the best flavored of its kind. With all of the restaurants around my area closing or changing ownership this is the only consistent choice right now! read more

Came here for dinner with 2 other guests and the restaurant wasn't to busy inside but the take out was busy. It seems take out is where they really thrive but I enjoyed the sit down experience as well. The dining area is small, maybe about 10 tables but the service was good and he the waiter was attentive. I got the tripe soup, and grilled chicken platter, my gf got the birria tacos, and her son got the quesadilla, we also shared guacamole and chips. The chips were really good, you can tell they were freshly made and was hot, the guacamole was tasty too. My dinner was great, the soup had great flavors and the tripe was tender. The chicken was flavorful and came with rice beans. Everyone else enjoyed their dinner, I even snuck a piece of the birria and it was really good. The meat was tender and the broth was delicious. Definitely would recommend this place for great Mexican dishes. read more

We were in search for a Mexican place and oh boy did we hit the jackpot! This little gem has a great flavor in their dishes. I felt like grandma was back there making the food. The portions are generous and their green sauce goes great with everything. We will definitely be back. The horchata was home made and just what I thought it would be. A hint of cinnamon and just enough sugar. read more

The best Mexican food around butler tacos excellent they always have lunch special's prices is not that expensive I love this place.

My wife and stumbled across this humble looking spot, and we are so happy we did. We both had the lingua tacos, which we try all over and definitely top 3 we ever had. Do try them out read more

10/10 Don't go anywhere else for your next Mexican meal. La Mixteca is it! Don't let the small storefront fool you. These folks know what they're doing. Everything was fresh. Flavorful. So good. What we got: - guacamole and chips: suuuper fresh and such good flavor. We ordered it spicy; I wouldn't say it was spicy per se but had a great flavor. Chips were crispy. Amazing combo. - steak tacos: 4 to an order. So simple but soooo yummy. Flavor was bomb. - chicken quesadilla: 3 giant pieces. Tortilla was crispy and the cheese was gooey. What more do you need? I normally like to (sometimes have to if the food isn't that good) use a ton of sour cream to enjoy my Mexican food. But not here! I didn't even use it. The food didn't need it. La Mixteca is now our go-to Mexican spot, replacing another one a little further away that we've been getting (but not really enjoying) for far too long. CASH ONLY. Staff is super friendly; placing a takeout order on the phone was super quick and easy. Some street parking if you need to run inside and grab your order. I saw two small tables inside but my take is that this is a definitely to-go order spot. Enjoy! read more

Tacos, sopes and burritos are DELICIOUS!!! The people here are so nice. Cash only but reasonably priced

Excellent food. Inexpensive. Soccer on TV. smoked pork chops with peppers. Amazing green sauce. Tasty huaraches (these are like little Mexican pizzas). Bring Ramstein beer from brewery nearby. read more

Authentic for sure! Feels like you're eating at someone's Home. Quesadillas are Great and You have to try the Home made Guacamole and Chips.

Looks like a "hole in the wall" but don't pass it by! Most authentic Mexican we've had in a LONG time. So fresh and delicious and generous portions for the price. We were able to mix and match proteins (so in an order of 4 tacos, 2 chicken, 2 pastor) and that was great. So happy we found it. Be forewarned it is CASH ONLY, not an issue for us, but might be for those who never carry cash. read more

We decided to find the best tacos and due to the ratings we chose La Mixteca. Wow. We were so happy to be here. Walking in it looked like take out only but there is a very pleasant side seating area that offers a really nice dining experience above your typical small store front place. We ordered beef, pork, shrimp and pork skin tacos. Can't decide which were best but possibly both pork choices. Mildly flavored and the two home sauces - both green and red were delicious. We ordered chicken empanadas to try and a huge order of 4 came out. Delicious then, later that night, and reheated for lunch the next day!! A few patrons were eating these huge bowls of soup. Found out it was a shrimp soup and a daily special pork soup. Next time we will try - looked delish. Also found out they do a lamb special on Sundays and will try that next as well. Service was impeccable. The young man who helped us was super friendly and attentive and answered all our questions. This place is better than good. Its a gem and the closest to eating in Mexico that I recall ever having in the states. read more

Friendly staff. Great tamale. Go early on weekend to get them. The tamale can be froze my and are still good after a week. Next time I am going to buy all they have . The price is great. read more

A safe bet for Mexican! I always get the tacos or the enchilada verde which is spicy. But we love it it's always a good idea!

La Mixteca is a casual and authentic Mexican restaurant in Butler. You order at the counter, and there is an adjacent and spacious dining area where you can sit. The tacos are delicious and you can mix and match options (4 total). I've tried al pastor and chicken. On Sundays, they offer birria tacos. Tortas are equally good. The quesadillas come with 3. Their chips are freshly made from cut tortillas, and guacamole can be prepared either mild or spicy. Overall, the food is delicious and an excellent value. Highly recommend. Cash only. read more

La Mixteca - Tacos, chips and Guacamole, quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Butler, New Jersey

Most AUTHENTIC Mexican food in the area! If you're looking for fancy, this is not it. If you're looking for casual and they type of food that makes you keep going back for more, look no further. Mixteca is an awesome little "hole in the wall" that serves the best Mexican food my tongue has ever tasted. Everything is fresh, homemade, super filling, and at affordable prices. I really recommend trying their tacos. If you're a picky eater, steak and chicken can never go wrong. If you like to live life on the edge, there's even tongue tacos (mmmm). Saturdays are great because they have fantastic Caldo de Mariscos (seafood soup). This is one of those mom and pop places that are actually ran well. The whole family is super down to earth, and it really shows in the way they treat their customers. I've been coming here for a couple months now and don't plan on stopping anytime soon! read more

Great Mexican food! Most authentic Mexican food I have had in NJ. Food is made to order and always fresh and great flavor! On weekends they have homemade Tamales which are must try.

Trust all the high-star reviews. La Mixteca is a great little Mexican restaurant. The menu has plenty of choices, the food is tasty, and portions are generous. Service is friendly, and orders are served quickly. Ten of us stopped in for lunch on a weekday, and we were seated and served promptly - no confusion, no incorrect orders. Great find! read more

Wow I don't know how this place stays in business with the amount of food you get for your buck! I ran in her last week to grab some take out. Got the steak and onion dish. It was a generous portion and came with rice, beans, and homemade tortillas for $9!! I also asked for an order of empanadas which was maybe $3. How could you go wrong? Small dining room with a TV. I assume they do mostly take-out. When I got home I unpacked the food and found they had also given me salt, pepper, utensils, napkins and 2 different types of salsa. Also when I opened up the container with the empanadas they were on a bed of lettuce with half of sliced avocado and queso fresco sprinkled on top. I'm all about nice presentation. Food was good too. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other menu items! read more

I want to try this place but there's never any parking in front on the street! The owners aren't smart enough to park somewhere else! It's the same white SUV's in front every day! The parking is limited so if you make the parking more accessible it may be good for business!!! Or maybe you just don't care. read more

Treat yourself to authentic Mexican food made with love and pride! I have been enjoying their incredible food for years now, can't believe that I haven't reviewed them before! Super generous portions, fantastic house salsas, and real flavor in all their dishes. I'm addicted to their tostadas with Tinga (heavenly shredded chicken and sweet onions in a gently spicy chipotle sauce piled High on top of handmade fresh fried corn tortillas and topped with crunchy lettuce and fresh white cotilla cheese). You really can't go wrong, order whatever sounds good to you and you won't be disappointed, I never have. Their prices are amazing considering the quantity, quality and freshness. Go on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings to get house made tamales!! read more

Their tamales arre out of this world but I think they only have them sunday & you gotta get to them before 1 pm or they'll be sold out. Authentic amazing tacos, I love the carnitas! read more

Don't be fooled by the humble look of the place, it has become a local favorite for good reason. We come here frequently because their food is consistently delicious and the service is friendly and warm. Our favorites are the tacos and huaraches (chicken, steak, chicken tinga, and longaniza are out of this world.) Start your meal off with chips and pico de Gallo for the table and you'll be very full and satisfied. The prices are great and unexpectedly their hot tea is really perfect for a cold night. Truly an unsung gem in the area. read more

This is probably my favorite local eatery. Chicken/beef tacos (with those salsas) and large horchatas--they always hit the spot!

This place is amazing. The amount of the food you get is tremendous. Went here for lunch and ordered the steak burrito, one order actually comes with two large burritos ($10). Also the guacamole was delicious. The price is beyond reasonable. This is true authentic Mexican food. The service was great, I will be back here for sure soon ! read more

If you want authentic, delicious Mexican food at a great price, this is the place to be. Everything we ordered was authentic and delicious. The fresh guacamole, enchiladas, tacos, empanadas were some of the best I have ever had. I tried cactus for the first time and loved the unique flavor and texture. The staff was friendly and the whole experience was terrific. It is a small place with big tastes! I am so glad I stopped by and I can't wait to do back! read more

The people that work here are all so nice. The food though, A+. Delicious, generous portions. Good prices. Cash only.

I love this place. If your looking for plain authentic tacos this is the place. I am sure the rest of the menu is great but I just get the tacos and rotate which meat I'm getting. $8 for 4 tacos is hard to beat. So if you're looking for that classic taco with cilantro and onion. La Mixtecs is hard to beat. Defiantly try the green sauce (Salsa verde) read more
