We got shrimp & beef tacos. They were amazing! Four tacos per order. Lots of cilantro & onion & extra salsa verde. We dined outside because of COVID precautions but the building provided shade so we were comfortable even though it was a super hot day. We almost missed it when we first were driving up towards it because it's smaller and not super flashy in appearance, but the food is BOMB! Classic tacos. read more

Almost on par to the best Mexican food I had in Texas since I left. Go here hungry folks you won't be disappointed.

I got the carnitas tacos 4 for $12. I got it to go. It was packaged excellent. It was pretty good. Nothing I can complain about. I've had better tacos but these were still great. Def worth a try. I see myself going back because they are close to my house. The girl behind the counter was friendly and was very helpful when I asked for suggestions. read more

I'm a fan of ethnic foods and very particular about quality, so after reading the rave reviews of this place, I had to check it out. Everything is true. The pork tacos (Alpastor) are delicious: tender, perfectly seasoned, and mouth watering. Green cilantro sauce is perfectly piquant. The chips and guacamole are homemade and delicious. Definitely a gem! read more

Went here and sat outside for lunch. Waitress was nice enough to move us to the shade, service was good as well. Food came out fast and was delicious. Will definitely be coming back here, everything was fresh. I had the steak tostadas and my boyfriend had the spicy pork tacos and we loved it. Will come back to try different things!!! read more

Who knew a bike ride could uncover such a gem! I had just finished riding my bike around Warinaco Park when my stomach announced that it was quite empty and would I please mind putting some food in it. Riding back to my dad's house, a Mexican flag in a small storefront window next to an open door caught my eye. I'm a fool for authentic Mexican and I've always found that the most unassuming places have some of the best food around. Antojitos Mexicanos delivered on assumption this in spades! First of all, the people working there are super nice. They let me bring my bike inside the restaurant and moved a table so I could rest it along the wall while I ate. The food of course is why I came though, and one word sums it up, tamales. These bundles of deliciousness are only available on Saturdays and Sundays but it's worth a special trip on a weekend to eat them. I had the pollo roja and pollo verde tamales and the chicken was perfectly flavored and fork tender and the masa was just the right combination of firm and soft. The salsa verde that came with them was equally amazing and I hope they'll sell me a bottle of it the next time I come in. At $1.50 each, you can easily feed two hungry people for less than $10 worth of tamales here. Oh, and just to reinforce my point about how friendly the people working there are, they'll let you call ahead on the weekend and set aside tamales for you, just to make sure that you don't miss out on their greatness. Go, go now and go often, if you love authentic Mexican food you can't go wrong here. read more

I stopped here on the way home from Roselle Park because I was craving my Taco Tuesday fix and it had very good reviews. There was parking in a lot off to the side of the store, which I was happy about. I ordered the carne asada tacos and DAMN were they good! The flavor was very good, and I especially enjoyed the cilantro on the tacos and green salsa that was included. It had just the right combo of flavor and spice! The tacos come 4 to an order. My only complaint would be about the location and not the food: it's a bit of a pain to make a left hand turn out of the parking lot. I would definitely go back for another Taco Tuesday! read more

Food was average but the service was great. The ladies behind the counter were very sweet and accommodating. This is only about 2 miles away from my apartment in Cranford - closer than my usual Mexican take-out place - so thumbs up to that. The good: Spicy pork tacos (with homemade tortillas A+) Salsas - verde and medium spicy, just as I like 'em Arroz con frijoles - black beans and yellow rice The OK: Guacamole - lacked salt and lime but easily fixable. Generous on the cilantro! Chips - a little too thick for my taste but made from fresh tortillas so that's ok. The Meh: Chicken flautas - too dry and definitely overcooked. Had to eat through to the middle of the flauta before I got any meat that was not fried and was moderately juicy. Flautas are my faaave so was disappointed in the execution. Overall, I would go back again. Maybe the flautas was a one-off. Liked everything else! Parking is easy and the people are nice! Tip: There is a latin bakery across the street that sells dulce de leche Tres Leches for $3.25! read more

This is a 5 star place if ever there was one. I am a Mexican food snob, and this place is the real deal. I travel a lot and make it a personal quest to find good Mexican food. Pretty hard to do outside of California. I bought my house in Los Angeles because it was conveniently located next to one of my favorite taco trucks (back when that was affordable). Since moving to Brooklyn its been DISMAL to say the least. The only saving grace is tacos el bronco (the taco truck in sunset park). Otherwise it's pretty sad for the most part. If this place were in Brooklyn it would be swamped all the time. I for one would eat here everyday. I had the chicken and spicy pork tacos, and chips and guacamole. The spicy pork was insanely flavorful and kind of crispy. Not too greasy, very fresh and surprisingly light. The tortillas are made there and taste great. The green salsa was very fresh and tasty, the right amount of heat and flavor that brought out the tacos. The chicken, which I usually avoid at most restaurants (usually dull and dry) was seasoned nicely and was not dry at all. The guac was really fresh and limey, not too salty. Chips were also house made and not salted. They obviously care about all elements of the food, from the quality of ingredients to the seasoning of each meat. I just ate 6 tacos and tons of chips and guac and I feel great. Not heavy at all and just super good. This place is extremely underrated and I'm coming back when I'm in the area on Saturday. read more

A true gem. My only reservations in giving a high rating is that it might encourage the elites from surrounding Westfield to venture here and affect this lovely find. A shuttle driver for a car dealer in Linden shared his secret place with me. His mom is Mexican and they have been coming here since the place opened. Most of the menu and board postings are in Spanish so unless you know the language or recognize the items, you're stuck with what's familiar. We ordered two chicken burritos, guacamole, and salad. The burritos are huge, delicious and not your typical contents. We ordered for two but enough food for 3 or 4. Our server made the guacamole fresh to order. A real winner. Our server was Laur Perez. Lovely woman. And the price was reasonable, especially for the quality. Dinner was $30 and we had plenty to eat. Also, place is immaculate. Parking next to the strip of shops. For the fearful people in Westfield, you're practically next to Roselle police station. We'll be back. read more

Review Summary: Great food and friendly service I was on a business trip and wanted to stop in at a Mexican place before getting to the airport. It is a little out of the way but highly worth it. The food reminds me of several places I have eaten in Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. It is well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We had the flautas and gorditas. They were both excellent and the portion size was huge. Their black beans are far from bland and the house made verde salsa had the perfect blend of heat and seasoning. I highly recommend you eat here and I wished I lived in the area so I could return. read more

Amazing food, authentic and flavorful. Best mexican food I've eaten and I used to live in Queens. read more

See all

We were really hoping to like this place but the consensus on our large takeout order was that every dish was pretty soggy and bland.

The tacos al pastor were amazinggg!! The only thing missing in them are the pineapples!! Los tacos al pastor estuvieron deliciosos!! La unica cosa que la faltaba era la piña por encima!! read more

Wow. Just finished a wonderful meal from this place! Fresh, super tasty, authentic, amazing, Mexican food! Fresh made corn tortillas are perfect. We got the carnitas tacos (very very good) the carne Asada tacos (pretty good) and the Mexican chicken platter (very good). The rice and beans were fantastic. The green salsa was very tasty and the side of lime and radish was a nice touch. Highly recommend this place. Don't be fooled by the outside or the location. Go in. Order a lot of food. Take home or eat there and enjoy! read more

I haven't even tasted the food yet, because I've been waiting 40 minutes already for 2 orders of tacos and 1 torta. Other people have come and gone since I've been here. Fast forward... Tacos were not great. Meat was dry across the board and not a lot of flavor. Spicy pork was the best but it wasn't spicy at all. Pastor was next best. Had to force myself to eat the carnitas and chicken. The only bright spot was the torta arabes. The search continues read more

Took 40 min to get my 4 tacos and the meat was cold and the tortillas were a bit stale. Not real Mexican food but they try. It would of been better of at Taco Bell at least the meat is always served hot. read more

I had to wait almost 40 minutes for my burrito order. Nobody talked to me during the wait. Other guests we're waiting about the same time. Be ready for infinite wait. The positive thing is you'll learn couple Mexican songs by hard read more

Real deal Mexican!!!! Great prices Good service. All food is freshly made!!! Plea to of parking

The most amazing Mexican food you will have. Super authentic, very friendly staff, clean, and just plain old delicious. The al pastor tacos, guacamole, fresh chips, and diablo shrimp are to die for! My partner and I will pick this place over other restaurants any day. Give it a shot! read more

The food here is very good. Around the area it's the best in its class. Also the price isn't too bad either. I advise you to call and get your order because it can't get really busy at times and have to wait long. read more

Love it! This place has been right under my nose for too long, and now we love it. And their tres leches cake is a must have !

Amazing fresh, authentic tacos. These is not your fake Taco Bell fare. Flavorful, tender meat, freshly chopped onion and cilantro and a delightful thick green sauce on the side. Definitely call ahead for takeout, as the tacos are made to order and you will wait about 20 minutes. I have also tried the flautas, the chicken wings and the tostadas. Nothing has disappointed! Also added to the five stars is the fact that the place is quite clean, which appeals to my well-closeted OCD. read more

Delicious and authentic Mexican food. I would suggest to call and order ahead of time. I ordered Sopes, chips and guacamole; everything was fresh and very tasty. read more

I've been eating their tortas here for a while now and I just had to write a review. They are the best! Chicken milanesa is my favorite, they are packed with all kinds of stuff (refried beans, avocado, cheese, and more) and are always warm and fresh with so much flavor. I always order with everything but remove the peppers before I eat, that way I still get a little kick of spice but I can still eat it. They are nice and friendly, I have not tried anything else but I'm hoping to add the fifth star once I try more stuff. read more

Well it looks like I just found a new lunch spot when I stop in at my office in NJ. I had a chicken burrito and it was amazing. This place is a real Mexican eatery and it had that whole feel to it as well. As me and my partner waited for our food we both looked at each other and said this is taking to long, I said they are probably cooking it from scratch. My suspicion was correct. The food was well cooked and fresh. When we got to the office to start eating everybody stopped talking lmfao. Yes it was that good. read more

This place is the Truth. If you like Mexican Food, try this place out. I ordered a Carne Asada Burrito and the chips with Guacamole. The portions are very generous, so generous in fact, that I couldn't finish my whole meal in one sitting. I had to save the rest as a snack for later. -- Also, the employees are very kind. read more

I found out about this restaurant by accident on Yelp's app. After reading the positive reviews, my husband and I decided to go to Antojitos Mexicanos for a late lunch last Saturday. The guy at the counter was very friendly and helped my husband and I decide what we wanted. I am Hispanic but I am not Mexican so I wasn't familiar with all of the foods and what sauces were spicy. I ordered the soft tacos with chicken and my husband ordered the enchiladas platter. Both orders were delicious! Good food, affordable and conveniently located. A +++ read more

I've been on a search for Mexican food and am pleased to say that I will keep coming back here for food. Their food is authentic and delicious. Love that they have delicious tortas by far the best I've had and their tacos are perfect. Not the best to dine in but I don't mind taking out. read more

Some of the most authentic Mexican around. Not a place to go for the ambience, but the carne asada and pollo tacos were delicious as were the rice and beans. Cheese flautas were good but not great. Excellent guacamole and salsa verde read more

The wait can be very long even when you call ahead of time. I ordered spicy pork tacos and got strips of pork on a tortilla and nothing else. read more
