Guacado Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Paterson

So happy to have finally found a halal Mexican spot in North Jersey, and Guacado Mexican Grill does not disappoint! The food here is absolutely amazing — packed with flavor and made with care. We tried the bowl with honey chipotle chicken and it was a total standout. The chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and they don’t skimp on the protein either, which is a huge plus.

The tacos were phenomenal — fresh ingredients, great texture, and just the right balance of spice and flavor. Everything tasted authentic with a creative twist, and you can tell they really care about quality.

On top of the food, the service was excellent — friendly, quick, and welcoming. The space was also super clean and well-maintained, which made the whole experience even better.

We’ll definitely be coming back. North Jersey needed a place like this and Guacado delivers in every way....

First, there was a serious language barrier. It became difficult when trying to create my rice bowl and ask questions because the person assisting me didn't speak English. Secondly, I ordered the tres leche cake, and you can tell it had been sitting in the refrigerator for quite some time because the top layer of frosting was cracked, and the liquid started to dry out. When I requested a new one, the manager who came out to address my issue didn't understand what I was saying but offered to get me another piece. When he brought out the new piece, there was no leche and was just a piece of white cake. When I asked for a refund, again he didn't understand what...

This spot opening near our house has been a blessing - ordered off uber eats twice so far, ordering a burrito and a bowl.

The burrito was one of the thickest burritos I've seen in a while and was packed well with meat and side options. I always feel kinda ripped off with burritos, but not this place - tasted great and was well-portioned.

The bowl was also amazing - paid for extra meat and they did not disappoint. It was packed to the brim, portions are definitely better than other spots. Will definitely be coming back here -...
