Mi Mariachi Taqueria: Authentic Mexican Flavor in Jersey City

All food I order I add photos here .. that all food awesome

I came across this while looking for Mexican food. I feel so lucky to find this place. It was served more food than I thought and the food was really fresh and delicious. I want to try all kinds of tacos here.

One of the best authentic Mexican Restaurants in Jersey City, a classic spot still delivering great taste, portions and authenticity. Mi mariachi continues to be a great Mexican restaurant, their food continues to be great. The food here is always great, the amount of food you get for the price is outstanding. I mean Tacos, Tostada, Sopes, Burritos, everything taste great. I've been having their Birria Tacos on my last two visits, and they've been delicious. They offer take out and pickup if you call ahead of time. I suggest you try - Tostadas de Tinga, al pastor - Birria Tacos - Tacos al Pastor - Bistec de Palomilla with rice, beans, avocado You'll thank me. They also offer delivery, staff is always friendly.

A small but welcoming part of Mexico. Serving traditional mexican dishes with the latin touch. We've been there several times and tried many options. The recommendation, try Pork Fajitas, Tacos al pastor, Huaraches and Tostadas. The best of them all. Portions are big so go there hungry. There are not many options on drinks low or with no sugar. Only Tamarindo they have is a bottled one. "Se habla español", and that's very much appreciated.

Once you visit, you’ll end up going at least once a week. The food is great and truly delicious. The red and green sauces are fantastic. I swear, it’s the best restaurant within five miles.

If you're looking for great Mexican food near Journal Square, Mi Mariachi is as good as it gets. This restaurant is a family owned business. Just a few blocks away from the Journal Square Path train. Inside, they have seating and you can usually see a Mexicana abuela in the kitchen on the grill, so you know it's authentic. They typically have waitress service for dine-in. Everyone is generally very nice. Ive only had a few dishes here, but everyone single one tasted excellent from the tacos, to the burritos, and oh boy the fajitas are my hands down favorits. You can typically expect a 10-15 minute wait for dishes to be prepared, which is well worth it. And the prices here are all fair, fajitas run $10 -$14 depending on your choice of meat. With that said, they only accept cash bills and quarters. Yes, that means no dimes, nickels, or pennies - go figure. Overall, Mi Mariachi has the best Mexican food for the money you will find anywhere near Journal Square.

We ordered tongue tacos and they were delicious. The first time I tried it was in Bronx and I didn't care for it, but this Mexican restaurant, Mi Mariachi, cooked it so well that we went again and ordered it again. This time, I ordered also champurrados to compare with the Filipino champorado. They were delicious but a little too sweet. Other than those, I would go back and try other things on the menu. I'm sure they're just as delicious.

My fiancé and I met back in 2019, and this place quickly became a staple for us. We spent so many early days getting to know each other over meals here. Even though we don’t live in Jersey City anymore, we still travel from NYC just to do takeout. That’s how special this spot is to us. The staff are incredibly kind, hardworking, and genuinely good people. Their chicken tacos are an absolute must. We’ve had tacos from different places but never as good as Mi Mariachi.
