Mariposa - BOW

Mariposa is simply outstanding. I reside in the Bay Area, where there are very few restaurants that can match the quality of Mariposa.

We've been coming here for years for the tacos, and they recently added some fantastic new items to the menu. The tamales are delicious, just like the gorditas, and when paired with fresh horchata, it's the perfect lunch. The new owners are wonderful, and their cooking skills are impressive.

We visited Mariposa in Edison on Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a lovely meal outside in their garden seating area. We ordered Mol and Gorditas, along with a wet burrito plate, and enjoyed some tempache to drink. The food was delicious! The Gorditas had a perfect combination of crispiness on the outside and softness in the middle, and they were quite substantial. The fruit was fresh, and the tempache, made with pineapple juice, orange juice, mango, and cinnamon served over ice, was refreshing—though I believe traditional tempache is generally fermented; I'm not sure if this version was, but it was tasty nonetheless. If you appreciate a good mixed salsa, you'll find it here as well. My only critique would be that my hot food could have been hotter. The service was good, and the outdoor seating was perfect for a summer dining experience. Overall, the food was excellent, and we will definitely be coming back!

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant, and I can confidently say it's some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. The burrito was absolutely delicious. Our entire group enjoyed the meal so much that we ate in silence, and we all ended up saying, "Wow, that was good!" It truly hit the spot. Thank you, Mariposas Lindas!

Delicious, interesting, healthy Vegi option. The order came out quickly even though they were busy. Great space with spread out outdoor seating. Really nice staff. Can't wait to go back!
