Atexquita Restaurant Mexican Grill Bar

Overall a pretty good restaurant to grab a bite and enjoy Mexican food in Newark. I?ve been here multiple times and have invited friends to eat here as well, especially during happy hour (and their margs are amazing). Probably going to visit again sometime soon!

This is probably one of the most underrated restaurants for authentic Mexican food. The tacos are affordable (3 dollars per taco) and they also have taco Tuesdays (3 tacos for 5 dollars). The place is clean, and generally not crowded at all (disclaimer: I have only been there for lunch on weekdays). The staff is friendly, and they leave you alone (which I prefer, instead of over-enthusiastic staff that keep coming to check on you). Music is nice, and the art on the walls is very interesting as well (see photos). Definitely recommended, if you like low key places that are not loud and serve simple, excellent food!

26 Aug 2022: solo dinner. Chile Relleno Y enchilada $12) and pineapple jalapeño margarita $11). 2 types of enchiladas were served pepper stuffed and cheese. I liked cheese better. Some fried rice and mashed beans with cheese were served as well. Everything tasted good overall. The margarita was refreshing with a little jalapeño kick. Recommendation: yes.

Food is always pretty decent. No complaints. Service can be a little slow at times, but I think that's due to the restaurant not wanting to over staff and having servers sitting around.

This is a great restaurant to enjoy some delicious Mexican food in Newark. I've been here several times and have brought friends along, especially during happy hour when their margaritas are fantastic. I’ll definitely be visiting again!
