Mexico Restaurant - Waitress put 6 ppl when in reality is was just 4 ppl ... be careful with your receipt - Mexican Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

$2 tacos! Can't beat that! Decided to come here because they rated as one of the top taco spots in Jersey by @njdotcom. We went here around 3pm on a Saturday and they were packed! We waited no more than 10 minutes for a table for 4. Most of the tables are community tables. They definitely maximize all their space! I had a medium horchata to drink. Loved it! For a medium it was pretty sizable. The large is huge! We started with a large order of guacamole and it was more than enough for the 4 of us. We all overdid it with wanting to try as many tacos as we could. We shared an order of the birria tacos. These are the only tacos you can't order individually; you get 4 for $14.95. I ordered the carnitas (these are what got them ranked), steak and chorizo. I liked the chorizo best probably because of the kick they had! Overall solid tacos. I wouldn't hesitate to go back! read more

The hype is real!! As is the price! $2 tacos and they're delicious! I love me a hole in the wall. We spent less then $30 on a full appetizer, entree and drinks! I think this place Would take off if they added a bar. But for now I appreciate the casual vibes of it. The waiters were kind and attentive. I will return! read more

The chicken tacos were a little dry but tasty. It's worth $2. I was told steak ones were good. The horchata also pretty good. The service was fine but charged 75 cents tax which was over since I paid cash. The restaurant was nice and cool and music wasn't too loud. If I'm in the area I would stop by and try something else. However, I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

There's no special "Taco Tuesday deal" because there's no need to when Tacos are $2 everyday except the Birria ones which are about $14 for 4. There is a self ordering machine with pictures and prices or you can just order directly from the nice lady at the front. Their tacos are pretty authentic with a lot of locals there for their tacos and other varieties. Total worth it and they come out fast which as well. Not much nearby but there's street parking for 20 mins per quarter. Their horchata has just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for over 5 years and will continue to come back. It is a casual authentic Mexican food spot with delicious tacos for an amazing price. All the tacos are delicious but my favorite is the al pastor and chorizo. The green salsa is amazing and add a little bit of red salsa for an extra kick. I tried the pozole for the first time this visit. It was warm, delcious and had a deep yet clean broth perfect for the cold weather. I've tried their tostadas, echiladas, and agua frescas. Their horchata and in the summer the watermelon drink is my favorite as well. The servers are kind and the restaurant gets very packed. Parking is a little difficult but the tacos keep me coming back. I've also called ahead or ordered online for pick up and my experiences were smooth as well. read more

Todo bien y los tacos de birria are the best, me encantó el lugar y el servicio que tiene no se compara con otros lugares

Food is always good here, plenty of options to choose from, tacos are only $2 and they have food portions. Service is fair not that annoying waitress asking you every 3 minutes if you need anything else they are very attentive. Piñatas hanging from the ceiling and Mexican paintings on the wall, music and a good atmosphere. Parking is a nightmare you will have to park a little far unless you get really lucky and get a spot on the block, also there's always cars double parked they are picking up to go orders and just run inside to get something fast. read more

Mexico Restaurant - Tacos, 2 carnitas and 2 al pastor. - Mexican Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

Best tacos & aguas frescas, affordable & super delicious. The white pozole & arrachera are my favorites.

I found this place on Yelp because the $1.50 tacos caught my eye. So, we ordered a bunch of tacos for pick up on a Friday at around 5 pm. The tacos are now $2, but that's still really cheap. It's almost Mexico City prices, so can't complain there. It seems like an authentic Mexican place because they had more than just your standard chicken, beef, and chorizo. They had all the offals, which is rare to see - especially at this price. We had the al pastor, lengua, buche (pork stomach), cabeza, tripa, suadero. Most of the tacos were fine, though the suadero was dry. The al pastor was good but some pineapple could have put this over the top. But the star of the show was the tripa. I think they must fry it or something, because there were crispy bits in it, which really made the taco. At least, we thought it was tripe since we couldn't really tell what was what just by looking - but came to tripe as a process of elimination. I'll be back to make sure it indeed was the tripe, and next time, I'll be trying the ear, and pork skin tacos! Tip - they don't tell you this, but if you use credit card, there's a processing fee - which I found out after the fact. read more

Mexico Restaurant - four tacos in a styrofoam container - Mexican Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

This is a review of the tacos, I didn't try anything else. These were quite honestly some of the driest tacos I've had in my life. Tortilla was stale, and each meat (even the chorizo) were supremely dry. Al pastor, chicken, chorizo, and carnitas were tried. I wish I could say even one of the meats were spot on , but no chance. I also hate to say that taco bell would have probably been a better experience, and that's saying something because I avoid taco bell like the plague. Nice staff, even though they hung up on me twice when I tried to order. I guess English is an allergy now-a-days. read more

Baby let me tell you this, Mexico restaurant is a gem. GO THERE NOW. Immediately and urgently. The servers are so kind, the food is delicious; and the cost is literally a no brained. I had about 5 different types of tacos-- I can't even beefing to describe how tasty they were. PLEASE GO. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant in North Jersey! So many choices of tacos and very hard to find kinds. It feels like grannies are making them with centuries old recipes. We had: Cueritos - Pig Skin - this was interesting, I did like the gelatinous texture but i would have prefer it to be more tender Cabeza - Head meat - OMG it's so tender and delicious! Our favorite!!! Buche - Pork Stomach - it was ok, I've had better Suadero - meat from between the belly and the leg - this was tender and really good Al Pastor con Pina - this was good but I would not have the pineapple next time :D Lengua - Tongue - it was ok Tripa - Cow Stomach - this was good read more

Food is delicious! We've been coming here for years and we always enjoy it. The horchata is one of my favorites. It is real horchata, not the fake stuff! The service is incredibly fast. We are usually in and out without 30 minutes. The decor is loud and fun! It can accommodate small and big parties but it's not the biggest space. The food and the price is worth it though! Already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Esperamos 15 minutos para una mesa para 12 personas cuando fue la hora de sentarnos nos dividieron en 2 mesas, servicio lento por parte de las meseras. La comida esta bien pero no para 5 estrellas y las porciones son de buen tamaño. El ambiente esta bien. Regresaria? Tal vez pero en Passaic hay mucho otros restaurantes a considerar.. read more

So this is actually a 3* rating but they're getting an extra star just because of how cheap the tacos are. It's a small restaurant but we were seated right away. Service was very slow. We ordered 5 steak, 4 carnitas, 2 brisket tacos and 1 cheese quesadilla. The server repeated the order to us and then we only ended up getting 4 steak and 2 carnitas tacos. By the time the server came back to us so we can ask for the rest, we really weren't hungry anymore. So the tacos themselves are hard to complain about because they were like $1.25. The tortillas are THICK. Almost bread like, so I ended up just taking off the second tortilla. And the meat was pretty flavorless but all the sauces are there on the table. read more

Mexico Deli is currently my favorite spot for Taco Tuesday! Except you can go any day because the prices are $1.00 or $1.50 per taco, depending on which one you get. The space is small, and decorated in a kitschy Mexican theme. Fortunately the staff speaks English, so no worries about placing an order. I've gotten the lengua, tripa, cabeza, oreja, and buche tacos. I especially enjoy interesting cuts of meat, and all of these are still at most, only $1.50. They're served with cilantro, onion, radishes, and lime on a double tortilla. All the meats were cooked to the proper texture, though some were a bit under seasoned. But that's why there's plenty of salt and salsa on the table. I especially like their salsa verde, though the rojo ain't bad. Parking can be annoying, but the food and prices are worth the trip. read more

I absolutely love this Mexican spot because the tacos are $1.50-$1.75 and they are super authentic and yummy! Yup you heard that right! $1.50 tacos! Every time i want some cheap, delicious Mexican tacos i come here. The quesadillas are also amazing and huge. When you go in you can sit anywhere you want and then a server will come to you so that you order your food. If you get Tacos Al Pastor don't forget to add pineapples. It definitely elevated the taste. The agua frescas are also so refreshing and tasty. They have Agua de Jamaica, sandia, Horchata just to name a few. One time when i went they even had lemonade! I believe it varies per day. In this place you really get a bang for your bucks and i recommend 100%! read more

I decided to try this place because they have tacos de cuero which are my fave. I also got brisket, steak and chicken tacos. I was so disappointed when I took a bite into the first taco and it tastes like cleaning solution. The tortillas was old and stale. the limes are old and dry. The salsas were ok but kinda hard to enjoy them on their own. I would not go back to this place because for all these four tacos were about 30$ and a jarritos. I threw all of it out after taking one bite. Not fresh, not worth it. read more

You don't have to wait for a Taco Tuesday, the tacos here are a great price of $1-$1.50 each day of the week! This place has good authentic Mexican food at good prices. You can easily fill up two people for under $20. The seasoning can be a hit or miss (minus 1 star) so it's likely you'll want to add their red or green hot sauce for a little extra flavor. The restaurant is small on the inside so the 8-seater tables are ususally divided to seat different parties. If social distancing is a concern then you may prefer grabbing takeout. The menus are placed underneath a plexiglass at each seat of the table, so all you have to do is look down to see everything offered. No need to worry about scanning a qr code on your phone. The parking here can be difficult, which is typical for this area, so expect to park further away and walk it over. If anyone in your group has mobility issues then you may want to drop them off in front while you grab a parking spot. All in all, I gladly come here when I'm in the neighborhood for quick and cheap eats. I recommend you check it out the next time you want authentic Mexican tacos. read more

This place is consistently outstanding and one of the most authentic Mexican spots in my book. I wanted some mole and knew they would make it well and they did not disappoint!!! I'm amazed that 4 chicken enchiladas with mole was only $10!!!!! WHAT??!! My mom got the chicken alambre (no cheese) and she loved it. We also got 2 steak tacos which after the price increase are now and unfathomable $1.25. I'm so happy this restaurant is close enough I can go satisfy my cravings. read more

I live in southern New York, it's nice but it lacks the authenticity of Northern New Jersey. Northern New Jersey features one amazing ethnic enclave after another. Today my daughter found a thrift shop in Passaic, NJ and of course I jumped on Yelp to find a nearby restaurant. The Mexico Restaurant is clean and festive, the seating is communal with shared tables. We went around 2ish on a Sunday, it was full and we were seated after a brief wait. The waitress was very nice and professional. The food was served quickly and at the perfect temperature. After seeing another Yelp review, I knew I was going to have the pozole. After seeing the menu, I knew I was also having a bunch of tacos. My daughter had a huge portion of chicken fingers and fries. My wife had grilled chicken, yellow rice, and refried beans. They both enjoyed their meals. We added the small guacamole for the table. It is tremendously fresh, with solid chunks of avocado. It's also served with great restaurant made chips. The pozole was incredible! Delicious and rich chicken broth, punctuated with flavor from Mexican oregano, and chock full of tender hominy and pork. They serve it with lime wedges, onions, lettuce, and some of the hottest hot sauce I've had in a while. The hot sauce added a nice note to the soup. The pozole also came with two tortilla rounds with bean spread, cheese, and lettuce. Basically a ton of food. That said, I still needed tacos because I'm a gluttonous Yelper. I picked al pastor, chorizo, brisket, head, and ear tacos. (I wanted tongue but they were out, yet another reason to return) The tacos are super affordable and they don't cheap out on size or filling. The flavor is amazing and they're great with the green or red salsa. We also had the cactus. First time I had cactus and I found it to be tender and enjoyable. Washed all that down with a fantastic horchata and walked out satisfied! We'll be back. Tremendous and authentic! read more

The place is busy. On a Sunday afternoon, many families having a leisurely meal. For small group , you do get seated quick. The staff are busy. Yet they come quick with their pads to take order.

For a dollar a taco I formally state this challenge: If anyone can meat or beat the authenticity, value and quality of this joint... let it be known. I had the Cabeza (cow face taco), Al Pastor, Brisket, Carnitas, and Orejas (cow ear taco). Al Pastor was my personal fav... I went back for a second... the Cow face was fatty and tasty.. the ear was a first try for me, perhaps my last. An interesting consistency, but not my fav. The brisket was also a highlight, perfectly cooked. Not mushy, not tough.. Goldilocks baby!!! And the carnitas was a hit with my belly as well. I washed it all down with a passion fruit drink... and for 10$ it is obvious to me that what this country needs .. is NOT A WALL!!! We need a high speed train from the boarder to bring real tacos to the people!!! Not these 5$ hipster tacos with artistically sourced nonsense!! We need street tacos, and we need them yesterday. read more

It's been a few weeks, but I promised myself to write a review for Mexico Restaurant, because of their quality ---- not just in food, but in service as well. We had ordered a large order for Father's Day: 50 Tacos, 1 Chicken Quesadilla, 1 Chicken Tenders w/ fries, and Extra Chips + guacamole....all online, and we had requested it to be ready inabout an hour and a half! We made our way there, the food took an extra 10 minutes (understandable), and came home. When we got back, we were amazed at the amount of food and ate to our hearts content....it wasn't until Mexico Restaurant reached out to us and told us they had forgotten to put the Chips and Quesadilla into our bags! They were so nice and apologetic, that they said we should call them when we're about 15 minutes out, and they would make those two items fresh to order upon arrival. Dedication! When we got there, the workers were absolutely amazing, and even gave us two horchatas as a way of apology. We didn't mind. 5/5. 10 out of 10. Quality food and quality service! Don't sleep on them! read more

So disappointed! Found this restaurant through IG and my son asked me to take him for his birthday. We get there and we we're not acknowledge. I had to stare the lady down at The counter. That's when she told me to write my name down on a paper. I noticed other people put down how many and their phone numbers. There is no designated waiting area or any room to wait inside. I asked the lady at the counter if she would call us when our table is ready and she said yes so we waited in the car. 45 mins go by and we hadn't received any calls so I sent my husband to check on the estimated waiting time. They had a full table open for the past 10 mins before they decided to let him know we can come in! We sit down and everyone's just staring at us. Soon to find out they were closing and had nothing to drink but water! Sure enough, I LEFT! DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Mexico Restaurant - Chicken and steak tacos ($1.00 each) - Mexican Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

I started coming here a few months ago and I love it. I always get tacos when I come, except for once I got chicken quesadillas. My favorite tacos by far are chicken and al pastor, both with everything on them (what other way is there to eat tacos?) and the al pastor are great with pineapple too. They're wonderfully seasoned and a decent size, they also come with lime slices and radish, as well as the two different hot sauces. And the best part? They're only $1 each. My friend convinced me to try their chicken and cheese quesadillas one time, and I did not regret it. The quesadillas are filled with flavor and the shell is perfectly fried so you get a nice crunchy texture eating it. These come in at $7.50 for 3 (they're about double the size of tacos). I also enjoy getting a horchata whenever I come to a taco place. They make this really good here too, but at $5 for a large, I might skip this next time I go. For parking, you'll probably have to park a block or two away as it's a busy street and this place gets packed on the weekends and nights. If you come and there's a wait for seating, don't worry, there are other places nearby for tacos too. A plus of this place too is that the decor is nice, it's colorful and lively. Tl;dr: You could go to some random bar advertising "$2 taco Tuesdays! $5 margaritas," with inauthentic tacos, and not necessarily all that flavorful OR, hear me out - you can come to Passaic and go to Mexico Deli or one of the other taco places around there and get real, delicious $1 tacos. read more
