“ Been coming here for years and realized I've never left a review. Except for a Mexican restaurant in Secaucus, you won't find much better Mexican food in the area besides Mariachi Grill. We haven't dined in since pre-C19 when they still had the long bar along the right side of the restaurant. There's definitely more seating now, which is a great thing. Parking is street-only but you can normally find a spot pretty easily. Service has always been attentive, fast, and friendly. But the food is chef's kiss! The complimentary chips and salsa are fantastic. Definitely better when you get them fresh and in person versus driving them home 15-20 minutes away when you do pickup. I normally stick to chicken fajitas or empanadas, but this time, had the shrimp fajitas. Decent amount of shrimp, but it's honestly pretty hard to mess up fajitas. I've never had a complaint about them. My GF usually likes their quesadillas but ever since she had their green sauce, she can't get enough of the enchiladas, which are covered in it. I think if she could buy a 5-gallon container, she would. I highly recommend Mariachi Grill. I used to drive here from Secaucus, and now I drive here from Montclair (because there's no good Mexican food in Montclair, especially at this price point). ”

“ For Taco Tuesday, I stopped at Mariachi Grill and got dinner to go. I ordered online, which was a very smooth process and everything was ready when I got there. There is street parking only, so this could potentially be a problem but wasn't for me in this particular case. Everyone was very helpful when I got there and they even called me fairly quickly after I ordered as they had to alter something slightly. We started with the chips and guac, the flautas and the al pastor tacos. Both my wife and myself got the chicken burrito. Guacamole was very good and a very generous portion. The flautas were interesting. Not something I would get again but that's just because it really wasn't my thing. The tacos were very good. The burrito was excellent. Extremely tasty. So why 4 stars opposed to 5? The chips that came with the guac had melted cheese which hardened by the time I got home. It was just very odd. Also, the burrito just came as a burrito in a takeout tin. No rice or beans. Again, I just found that very odd especially being that the price kind of made sense if it came with rice and beans. All in all, a very solid place for Mexican food. I may try it again and eat in the next time. Everything was solid all around. There was just a few weird things that threw me a curveball. Burrito...... VERY TASTY. Just add a little side of rice and beans and it'll be a masterpiece. ”

“ This very casual, brightly colored Mexican BYOB restaurant located on Ridge Road in Lyndhurst was an unexpectedly good dining experience. Mariachi Grill offers terrific service and generous portions of authentic Mexican cuisine - specializing in traditional burritos, fajitas, chicken and steak entrees, seafood, and salads - at a reasonable price. Based solely on Yelp reviews and ratings, my dining companions and I stopped by Mariachi Grill for dinner on a recent Friday night after a visit to a nearby microbrewery in Carlstadt. To be Frank, we were somewhat worried about our decision to try Mariachi Grill after we walked into a completely empty restaurant at 745pm on a Friday. I think this an establishment caters to locals rather than being a 'drive to' destination and the rainy weather that night kept most of the regular customers at home to order take-out or delivery (which seemed to be happening a lot while we were there). At our server's recommendation, we added an order of the guacamole to the complimentary tortilla chips and freshly-made garlic-forward salsa served as soon as we sat down, which was freshly-made and very tasty. I had the Mariachi Chicken Mole ($23), comprised of a generous portion of thinly-pounded chicken breast smothered with mole sauce and served with a side of rice and beans. The homemade mole sauce was very tasty and the portion size was very filling. My regular dining companion initially said she'd wanted something light but opted instead for the Camarones in Garlic Sauce ($24), a dish comprised of sautéed shrimp stewed with peppers and onions in a red garlic sauce and served with a side of rice and beans, which she enjoyed very much (and cleaned her plate). Service was very friendly and attentive but not overwhelming. Pro Tip: Mariachi Grill doesn't have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of on-street parking off Ridge Road. ”

“ Had a craving for some Mexican food so we decided to make our way over for dinner one Thursday at around 8 PM. There were a few tables dining and some takeout orders at that time. To start, they give you some complimentary chips and salsa, which I really appreciate. We ordered some tacos al pastor as an app, and these were pretty good. For my main, I had the chorizo quesadilla. It's a pretty big portion, which they cut into four pieces and since I had already eaten 2 tacos, I ate one piece of the quesadilla and was already full. The chorizo was good. It wasn't too oily. Hubby had the wet burrito with beef. I don't like soggy burritos, but he seemed to enjoy it. Overall, it's a pretty good Mexican spot if you're looking for a sit down/date night and not just casual tacos to go. Tip - there's no lot but there's plenty of street parking outside ”

“ Ordered takeout this weekend and ended up ordering a bunch of stuff. My favorites were the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce and the shrimp tacos. My husband enjoyed the chicken wet burrito. I ordered over the phone and they said it would take around 25 minutes. But it was done faster and they called to let me know it was ready which is nice. Definitely a place to check out! ”

“ Consistently good food at mariachi! The salsa and homemade chips are some of the best. I recently had the Al pastor burrito. The pork was juicy and the pineapple gave the food a slightly sweet flavor - perfect combo! I also enjoy the decor and it's lively colors. FYI: place is byob! ”

“ Food was really good Ambiance - it was decorated very nice There were NO OTHER people in here. Normally we would have left but we stayed and we are glad bc it was good Salsa is a little strange - Guac was good Service was very good ”
