I got the beef brisket plato, and my wife got 3 different types of tacos because they had a special. The meats are slow cooked for 16 hours. Yes you read that right. And each taco is LEGIT loaded with juicy, tender, flavor packed meat. My wife was full just eating two!! (She had to save room for the Mexican street corn.) Alright ill stop tacoing about this place now

Welcome Carlito's to Lyndhurst! So glad we decided to give them a try today!…read moreWe ordered the brisket and pulled pork platos sans the beans, a chicken taco, Mexican grilled corn, and a pineapple agua fresca to go. Everything was moist and smoky and the additional sauces and cilantro onion mix put it all over the top! The Mexican street corn was a favorite of the whole family - you definitely need to add that on! The pineapple agua fresca was lightly sweet with a smooth pineapple flavor- not acidic at all. Very refreshing! Staff was super friendly too! Loaded with flavor you must give them a try!

From its pre-Columbian origins to its merger with Spanish and other culinary traditions, Mexican…read morecuisine has a fascinating history and a unique flavor configuration that sets it apart from other cuisines. They are renowned for their vibrant flavors, bold spices, and diverse dishes catering to all tastes using ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, garlic, and cilantro. Authentic Mexican food is more than tacos and salsa. The Garden State is hailed as one of the most diverse states when it comes to food, hosting some of the best Mexican restaurants on the East Coast. Whether one desires a quick taco or a full-course meal, my friends and I were craving rich and bold tastes from Mexico and decided on this family-owned establishment for an early Cinco de Mayo dinner. The reservation was easily made by calling Mariachi Grill, located on Ridge Road in Lyndhurst. Upon arrival at this popular spot to locals, with its cozy and casual interior decked out in traditional Mexican vibes, we were greeted by the staff and immediately got a table by the entrance, but they also have outdoor dining, weather permitting. The menu selection is much smaller than at other restaurants. We decided on the Cheese Enchiladas, Beef Enchiladas, California Burrito, Beef Burrito, Chicken Fries with Fries, and Shrimp Fajitas. Some meals are accompanied with a small portion of rice and black beans. Complimentary house chips and salsa started our meal. As the restaurant is working on their liquor license, it's BYOB. One can bring your own tequila or wine, and the staff will mix it with their sangria or margarita mixes. We washed our meal down with a pitcher of sangria. The presentation was very good. The food was made incredibly fresh, well seasoned, deliciously tasty, and generous. The price was very reasonable for the area. Our server Lisa with her outgoing personality and her desire to make our visit enjoyable, which we didn't feel rushed. Good experience overall, which we can recommend.

The decor was really colorful and the seating was comfortable. For drinks (not pictured), my husband had the margarita and I had the freshly squeezed lemonade. Both were really good. I ordered the Mexican pork ribs, which the waiter recommended. My son had the kids meal. The Mexican pork ribs had pork ribs sautéed in tomatillo sauce, which added nice acidity to the dish. It was also served with rice, beans, and corn tortillas. The kids plate had chicken with rice and beans. He absolutely loved it, I had some of his chicken it was juicy. This place is the definition of home style meal. It just tasted like something your grandmother would make. It was super satisfying and filling. We also took churros to go. They were very crispy and came with chocolate and a light dulce de leche sauce. The restaurant was clean and the waiter was very nice and attentive. Everything came out quickly. I didn't see the bathroom. Prices were reasonable, I think for the plate size, it was a good price. We're really excited to try their brunch menu!

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.

It's about $3 per taco for vegetarian tacos without tax so it's reasonable. I paid about $15.50 total with tax for 4 tacos so it was enough food for a hungry dinner. No place to sit so take out only.

They are a couple of outdoor tables too if you prefer to eat outside. We ordered the Birria bowl and the AL pastor bowl which came out pretty fast. Before that a basket of chips and salsa were given to us which hit the spot too. The bowls were flavorful and really filled us up. Rice, black beans, all the fix-ins and some birria sauce on the side for me to drizzle all over the meat. This I would consider an authentic Mexican restaurant in the middle of North Arlington.
