Find parking near Dario's Tex Mex

Dario's Tex Mex at 20 Academy St is a long-standing downtown Newark favorite, known for its fast, affordable Tex-Mex classics like burritos, taco bowls, and quesadillas that draw office workers, students, and locals throughout the day. Its central location near major campuses and businesses makes it a convenient stop for lunch or an early dinner, but also means the surrounding streets can be busy with cars, buses, and pedestrian traffic, especially on weekdays when many visitors are competing for limited curbside space.

Street parking in this part of downtown is typically metered with time limits, and spaces can fill quickly during peak lunch hours, so arranging parking near Dario's Tex Mex in advance helps avoid circling the block or risking tickets. Planning ahead for secure off-street parking is especially useful if you are unfamiliar with Newark’s local parking rules or expect to stay longer than a quick meal. Before you travel, always review the latest information from official city and parking authorities, as local regulations and enforcement practices can change.
