You've got to check out Little Tijuana in Newark, New Jersey - it's seriously something else! When you walk in, you can feel the good vibes right away, thanks to the live music that's always jamming. It's like a party in there! Now, let me tell you about the place's style - the decor is on point. It's like they took a slice of Mexico and mixed it with some modern flair. You'll love it whether you're just hanging with friends or celebrating something special. And the food, oh man! They serve up these banging Beyond Meat nachos that even a carnivore would crave. Plus, the fish tacos? They're out of this world, perfectly spiced and wrapped in soft tortillas. But here's a little tip for you - bring some cash! The ATM inside charges a whopping $8.00, and if you're swiping your card, there's a 4% surcharge. So, make sure your wallet is ready. Oh, and here's the kicker - they do cash-only hookah. It's a cool extra touch for a chill night out. In a nutshell, Little Tijuana is where it's at if you're into live music, awesome decor, and food that'll make your taste buds dance. Just don't forget that cash, and get ready for a memorable night! read more

My friends And I when there for brunch and some of the girls wanted the $59 bottomless option that they make mandatory that everyone at the table must have the same thing. what a huge mistake. The minosas tasted most like are orange juice, the margaritas were extremely embarrassing for a place like that to be serving thinking it's OK so we order a shot of teqilas to add to our drinks that cost us $13 each individual shot! super water down and when we Mention something to the manager she said well too bad that's how we make it here. She did get my friends and I laughing when she said I can buy you girls around of margaritas... We look at each other and said " it's already included in our package lol". We should had order our individual meals and order drinks as we go because once the bottomless was over (1 hour and 30minutrs) and we got regular drinks from the bartenders they were way better. The food was good too and the bartenders were nice and friendly, We just felt super cheated with our brunch options and the manager didn't care or was genuinely accommodating whatsoever. Lesson learned. read more

Vibrant Flavors and Fun Vibes at Little Tijuana Little Tijuana delivers a colorful and upbeat dining experience right in the heart of the city. The vibe is lively, the decor is eye-catching, and the music keeps the energy high, perfect for a night out with friends or a fun date spot. The menu has a great variety of flavorful bites. I tried a few favorites like the birria tacos, nachos, and their popular quesadillas. The elote is also a must-try, and their fries come loaded in all the right ways. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Service was friendly and on point, though the place does get packed, so expect a little wait during busy hours. Still, the overall experience was great, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu. If you're looking for bold bites, good music, and an energetic vibe, Little Tijuana is worth checking out! read more

This place is absolutely stunning! It's one of those restaurants that's just as enjoyable to look at as it is to eat at. The interior has a really nice vibe, and it makes the whole dining experience feel special. I had a great time here -- the atmosphere was definitely the highlight for me. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the music was just perfect. It set the mood without being too loud, so you could still have a good conversation while enjoying your meal. As for the food, it was decent for me, though I'm sure others might find it more to their taste. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it wasn't bad either. However, the overall experience really made up for it. The atmosphere, the music, and the service were all top-notch. I would definitely go back again! It's a great spot to relax and enjoy a nice evening with friends or family. read more

Such a horrifying experience with the bouncer at this establishment! Definitely will not be returning until management does a better job at hiring their bouncers/security staff. my husband and I traveled an hour to try this spot out for the first time and all we went is for dinner and left with a traumatizing experience! We walked out with a cup of ICE which we wanted for our ride back home. my husband told him it was just a cup of ice and continued to walk out. The bouncer then ran behind my husband and got in his face stating he was not afraid to break his face even with all the cops there were on the street. The bouncer continued to push and shove my husband calling him a faggot and threatening him to "break his face". No matter the situation, this is completely unacceptable! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at little Tijuana last night and was blown away by the service of our waitress, Nicole. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made sure that we had everything we needed and that our meal was perfect. Another thing that I appreciated about Nicole was that she was very patient with us. We were a party of four and we were all trying to decide what to order. Nicole took the time to answer all of our questions and help us make our selections. She even gave my aunt a wonderful birthday surprise which made her whole evening special Overall, I had an amazing dining experience and it was all thanks to Nicole. She is a true asset to the restaurant and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for great service! read more

I had passed by this place many times and didn't know what a charming place was hidden in the Ironbound. Drinks were amazing the hookah was wonderful and the place was just spectacular. Different vibes, its divided up, the bar from the rest of dining areas (was confused at first we wanted drinks and a hookah and thats only in the main dining area, not on the bar).Our server was Brianna, I believe that was her name. She offered us an enjoyable experience and was very helpful in providing her recommendations which were spot on. Cant wait for better weather to experience the food on the rooftop. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEEEE this place. It's perfect for a fun dinner with the kids as well as without. Then when you put them to bed come back out and party with the hottest DJs that will keep you dancing all night. Since they started their brunch day parties on Saturday and Sunday, let's just say I should own stock in this place. Food is delicious drinks are unique and sooo good. Ask for James he's the head manager and awesome plus his number 2 Alicia is super friendly and makes sure everything is perfect for you. RUN don't walk tell them I sent you! read more

I Came to little Tijuana last Sunday with my girlfriend while in town and I was pleasantly surprised. First, let me start by saying the food was amazing. The bartender recommended the cauliflower tacos and they were absolutely to die for! Of course I had to wash it down with a couple of magaritas which were spot on. Angel was so great, I told her I would be writing a yelp review referencing her (which I never do) because she was the sweetest, plus she said she was new! Anyways, Little Tijuana I will definitely be back next time in town. read more

Little Tijuana in Newark is a fantastic Mexican restaurant with a lively atmosphere and plenty to see. The menu, though not extensive, offers high-quality and creative entrees and appetizers, including some unique items. However, the bartender was aloof and inattentive during my early visit, and the Margaritas could have been better. Despite this, the place seems like it would be great when busier. Highly recommended overall. read more

Came here for my friends birthday. Abree was super attentive with us. I manage a restaurant & large parties of drunk people can be difficult to handle & she did it with grace.

I will definitely come back. read more
