El Mejicano

I have only had delivery from El Mejicano, but as a mother of a new baby it is definitely convenient. There are times when I do not want Chinese or Italian. It is nice to have this option.
We have ordered from here a few times. The food is usually good!
They did mix up our order once and it took about 1.5 hours to get our food. However, the other times the delivery has been okay.

Good food good atmosphere and nice employees. They hold their own in an area that’s saturated with Spanish restaurants.

I have passed this small shop for years, wondering if it was any good. Often, the lights were dim and then I pondered if they were even still open. Feeling hungry for Mexican food, we ventured over a few days ago and found them open and were greeted by a friendly person who seemed to be the owner.
The interior décor was bright and very clean. As we scanned the menu, a generous bowl of salsa and basket of chips arrived. I noshed on them but was a little disappointed since, unlike other non-​chain Mexican places, the chips were cold and the salsa mild to the point of being bland. Hmmm. The first red flag.
I asked for a recommendation and the burritos and the Mexicano chicken were the suggestions. My wife had the vegi burrito and I had the chicken.
My dish had a soup or salad option so I had the tortilla soup and it was hot and good — a unique dish I would have again. My wife said her burrito was very good — lots of vegetables and not too spicy (depending on who you are, that may not be good).
My dish was another story. The chicken tasted like it was from a pack of frozen meat from Cosco and the spice, non-​existent. If this is their signature dish, they need a handwriting lesson.
The competition for good Mexican food is fierce so maybe we caught them on a bad night. However, I’m probably going to head east next time I need a Mexican fix and eat at Maddys in Parsippany. A quantum level higher in quality.

How in the world does this place NOT have 15 stars!!!
I live in town… pass by El MeJicano 5x/day…I always think to myself, «I’ve gotta try that place»…but never do. FINALLY, this Saturday, after hours of Christmas shopping, I had the pleasure of stopping… and sooo glad I did. I will quickly become a regular here!
I stopped in, but took the food to go… however, I will bring the family for an eat-​in night real soon. The place smelled wonderful… very cheery décor… spotlessly clean… what more could you want, besides in-​freaking-​credible food? They’ve got that covered too.
The woman who took my order (I’m sooo bad w/​names — she introduced herself, but I totally forgot her name — grr), was a sweetheart! She gave me suggestions & was so patient when I changed my order around a dozen times.
We ordered crunchy beef tacos, soft beef tacos, rice & beans, steak burrito, shredded chicken burrito, & deluxe nachos. The burritos came w/​yummy pico de gallo, to-​die-​for guacamole, lettuce, tomato & crema. I swear, the burrito alone, weighed 5 lbs! Forcing myself to limit, I could only eat half — which worked out great for lunch the next day. The nachos were made w/​insanely delicious, homemade chips… the refried beans were… orgasmic. 5 of us shared the nachos & we STILL had leftovers! I didn’t get a chance to sample the tacos… my extremely hard-​to-​please daughter had them GONE (not even crumbs left) by the time I was ready for a bite — same w/​my hub (he had the soft tacos) — but they both RAVED about them. My daughter begged to order from them for dinner the next day (& we would’ve, but they are closed on Sundays!)
I am soooo excited to try EVERYTHING else on the menu! We will, in fact, be ordering from them again tonight! I’ll post some pics this time… if I can stand not immediately diving in to the deliciousness!
I am sooooo glad I finally stopped in to El MeJicano! This place is a KEEPER! If you want absolutely delicious, filling, 5-​star food… be sure to visit El MeJicano… you won’t be disappointed!
Ooooops! I forgot to mention that everything is made-​to-​order! You won’t be getting food that was prepared yesterday & sitting under a heat-​lamp, waiting for a forever-​home. You can taste the freshness in every delicious bite!

Have gotten take out from here and just ate lunch there, absolutely great Mexican food. The taco salad was excellent but I wish the lunch portion was a little larger. Have also gotten burritos and a few other menu items, everything is great. Owner is very nice, would recommend checking this place out.

There is not much special about this place.
I give three stars cause food is pretty good, cheap and they have delivery for when I don’t feel like going out.
But the best is the fresh made guacamole
