Mi Pequeno Mexico
Visitors to the Newark area looking for authentic Mexican need look no further than Mi Pequeno Mexico, which has been in business since 2000. Located in the historic Ironbound section of town, it is within walking distance of the local train station. It's not all burritos and tacos here, either; one of their more unique specialties is a Mexican style sandwich, such as the Huevo and Chorizo, which is egg and spicy Latin style sausage served on Mexican rolls. They also have delicious soups, such as tripe, chicken with Guajillo pepper, beef soup with a variety of spices and vegetables and Pozole, which is a traditional Mexican soup with pork. Mi Pequeno Mexico's 3 tacos deal is an attractive option, ranging in price from $6.25 (with beef, salted beef, spicy pork, fried pork or chicken filling options) to $7.25 (for beef tongue.)

Fresh Tortillas Grill
The food is cheap, delivery and take-out are available, and that's about all Fresh Tortillas Grill has going for it. That being said, the tortillas are quite filling. Oddly enough, in addition to Mexican food, they also serve sushi and other Japanese specialties. Still, Fresh Tortillas Grill is the type of place you only want to bother with if it is too late to go elsewhere and you happen to be staying in the area.
