50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Locust Valley

“Stopped in here with my wife today. It was 3:30 on Friday, we were the only ones in there, as we expected at that time. It was nice to see a family run restaurant. The owner was the chef, his wife and daughter the servers. Food was really good. We started with the guacamole and we ordered the mussels. The chef came out and said the mussels came in a little small today and asked if we would like the clams instead. We said why not. The broth in this clam dish was fantastic. Then he came back out and asked if we want to try his carrot soup. One of the best soups I've literally ever had. Then we finished with steak fajitas and the flautas. Both great dishes. They were really friendly and nice people. We really appreciated their service and kindness. Also don't forget to get the red sangria it's amazing.“

“Golden Service!!! Beautiful shop, Amazing Food and Churros to die for!!!!Divinely led to Don Chuy’s Tacos. Amazing Street Corn and Guac your world. Taco Bowl salad was divine with Shrimp and a chicken Quesadillas deliciously Made. Overall Amazing!!!!!!“

“Shared 4 assorted tacos (fish, lengua, birria & carnitas) with my wife for snack, craved for more. I don’t usually get Lengua (tongue) because of funky after taste from previous experience. At Mala Madre, lengua was so tender, butter and beefy. Will definitely come back for more.“

“Everything is so fresh and homemade! The guac is a must-have. Each portion is made to order. They even put the pit in there to prove to you that each order has a full avocado in it that they just cut open! My family loves this place and we are regular visitors. One of our favorite local small businesses!“

“This is surprisingly good BBQ for long Island! The service is excellent: really friendly and everyone seemed proud of their food -- I love seeing that. The is good (not amazing), but if you're nearby, definitely stop in. The smoked porchetta is incredibly tender and unique.“

“This place is sooooooooo goooood! The food is extremely delicious ? perfect portions and the sauce is delectable! We love the tortas here! They come so quick and are very fairly priced. The agua de jamaica here makes me crave another cup. My new weekend favorite!“

“First I visited the restaurant when I was on my way to Texas then I saw this this place and there were a lot of food options then I ask for the recommendation and they told me that the burrito ball is really good because I can put anything in it or you can say that it is more like a custom ball, then I take there there recommended food and it was really good and it is more healthy so I gave it 10/10 specialty with there white and chipotle sauces so I recommend you guys this place for healthy and value for money food.“

“A unique restaurant offering Mexican and Italian cuisine. My partner and I started off with a delicious Greek salad and then both had fajitas. There was an abundance of the chicken and steak in the fajitas. They came out sizzling hot and were seasoned nicely and flavorful. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is not large and has a friendly and family atmosphere. Definitely check it out!!!“

“Excellent Mexican food at a very good price. The place is not fancy, but if you want authentic Mexican food at a great price, this is the place for you. We ordered 4 tacos, the mixed grill entree, 2 sides, and a natural juice. Everything was delicious even after being reheated the next day. The service was prompt and attentive. We will definitely be returning.“

“We were a bit skeptical at first since it appeared to be more of a commercial side and we usually prefer authentic Mexican cuisine. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was not only delicious, but also authentic and well-portioned, all at a reasonable price.“

“Tried their burrito bowl with honey chicken option and tacos with steak/chicken. All the protein were seasoned, cooked well and served hot. Veggies were fresh. One of the servers was really helpful with making great recommendations!Would highly recommend give this place a try!!“

“That girl with glasses and smart hair is really rude when serving, whether or not she is part of the owners, whatever, she should not be rude when serving people, she has a bitter face and that's the same with her service, you ask about some lemons and looks at you as if you are asking him to go take them down from the tree... such a service is in bad taste when one tries to eat in peace“

“Top Mexican restaurant of all time. We don’t get tired of the place nor the food. Top notch! The manager Cesar is incredibly welcome, so attentive, and keeps the place organized. Adan also greets you with a smile and always makes sure you are well taken care of. Paola and Darwin at the bar makes you have an amazing experience with any drink and their customer service is just top. Overall, we love this place and always recommend it to family and friends.“

“Nice local owned restaurant serving Mexican and Peruvian cuisine. The server was very sweet and friendly. Definitely try their local inca drinks. Mine was made with Passion fruit. It was so refreshing and good. Loved their ceviche had a great kick of spice and lemon to it. Also the salted steak was very good too. Portions were large so i wrapped half of my meal to take home.“

“Went there for the first time yesterday for my lunch. SO GOOD! The Mongolian beef tacos are UHHMAZINGGG. Loved the carne taco. The Thai chicken taco was okay but it just wasn’t my favorite. Their pineapple salsa is SLAMMINNNN. I also got a chicken taco that was good too. I will definitely be going back soon :)))“

“It is a beautiful restaurant. Food is great. Service is always good. They have music. They have Latin night. You don’t have to be Latin to enjoy the music and the lively crowd. I’ve been here for dinner, large group gatherings, and a guest in their party rooms. Alway top notch food and service“

“My Fiancé l live in Huntington Beach about 15 minutes away from Owen’s Tacos. We decided to try this place and as soon as we arrived we were greeted by the person behind the counter who was very attentive, probably the owner. Any ways, with so many things to chose from we decided to try the steak nachos and hamburger with fries. Let me say that we were very impressed with the service and quality of food. The nachos had good size pierces of steak and the whole plate was delicious. The hamburger you could tell was seasoned inside and it tasted amazing, you will not be disappointed if you like Latin American style hamburgers. We also had the Horchata drink which is a typical Central American grain based sweet water drink. Amazing!“

“Curbside Mexican Grille is where Mercy Hospital’s Labor and Delivery department order from days in a row that’s how I knew I needed to try it. Went with my boyfriend and we ordered a Gringo burrito, Birria Tacos, and an order of 2 Beef Empanadas/2 Beef and Mac and Cheese Empanadas. The food was AMAZING! Great service and explanation of the menu. My boyfriend keeps talking about how he wants to go back already. Can’t wait to go again!“

“I discovered this gem via a google search and needed a same day order for 16 people. They open early and when I called they were SO helpful and confirmed they could have the food ready later that day. The food was neatly packaged and hot when picked up. The group loved everything - burritos; tacos; quesadillas; guacamole; and pico de gallo. Food was authentic and delicious - highly recommend!!!“

“Amazing authentic Mexican/ Salvadoran cuisine. Three of us tried: 1) torta milanesa - chicken was tender and the bread was soft, very filling, we brought half home, 2) seafood soup- so much seafood (crab, fish, shrimp, mussels, squid, clam) and huge- very big, good to share among 3 people if you're sampling lots of dishes, 3) birria tacos which were flavorful and fresh (didn't come with consommé), 4) al pastor tacos, touch of sweetness, 5) pork, cheese, beans papusa (very filling, we shared 1, 6) guacamole which was presented in a traditional bowl and wasn't too spicy and 7) a elote tamale but haven't tried it yet bc we were so full so we packed it to-go. Service was good and the place had fun music videos playing. We would gladly come back. Everything was fresh, tasty and affordable.“

“Another restaurant, Another creation by Chef Carlos but same authentic, same taste. Used to go hicksville restaurant on regular basis. Last night visited this location but missed to meet the Chef Carlos. It's beautiful restaurant, beautiful ambience, beautiful setup of tables. Bar is excellent addition. And food as I said earlier, is mouthwatering delicious ?. Service is great. Must try this location. Definitely going back again.Chicken burrito and shrimp burrito with mama's way, it super delicious. Perfect balance if all ingredients.“

“It doesn't look like much from the outside but this place is very good. My wife and I live down the street and we come here at least once a week. We try to make it down for taco Tuesdays they have $3 Tacos and they are delicious. My favorite is the Al Pastor, and maybe the chorizo at a close second, but they are all super tasty. I also love their home made Sopes tortillas and the quesadillas. In addition to the delicious food the owners are so nice so it makes you want to keep coming back. Get the jalapeño margarita if you can handle the heat. You won't be disappointed.“

“The best most cleanest place in new hyde park ! Wow the food is out of this world, ive tried the bowls, the burritos , the salads and everything is absolutely delicious ! I wish they had one around my house ? the food is so fresh and you can taste how homemade it is. 5 stars for sure .“

“Quality service, delicious variety of tacos. Authentic tortillas were a plus. Forgot to ask if they were made in house. We tried buffalo cauliflower, barbacoa, pastor, carnitas, carne asada (truffle sauce was delicious), tuna (wasn't crazy they were served in lettuce, no thanks, I'm here for tacos!), and shrimp. Great option to get 8 for $50 to try a variety. A little pricey to not even include some beans or rice but yummy. Desserts were tasty having churros and flan. We really wanted to try the spicy chocolate cake on the menu but we were told they discontinued it and they need to update their menu. Waiter was attentive. The staff was professional and kind. The water glasses stayed filled without having to ask. Decor was on point. So creative and attractive . Great logo design and the painted parking spots are so original! Music was great. Acoustics were really loud in the place and it was very hard to talk, had to shout at each other the whole time but if that loud busy vibe is what they're going for they nailed it. The owner treated our family very well and we appreciated it. Check them out. Can't wait to visit when the weather is nice and patio doors are open.“

“Very nice inviting decor. Service was just ok. The server was basic, didn’t tell us it was happy hour? Nor did she mention and food selections. For a new establishment I guess I was expecting a bit more … maybe ask if we had been there before? Check back to see how our food was( it was outstanding), we got more help from the water girl Had to ask to clear table. Had to ask for check from the water girl? The server had much support. Seems she took our order and disappeared. But the server assistants were on point. Dinner was really good. We will go back… because of the food. Even the manager walked pasted us a dozen times. There were 6 tables.. perfect time for manager to mingle… just saying. Place is very nice, great menu too. Just left feeling ignored. Nice music too. Maybe the server was having a bad day? Like I said we will go again !!! Great food.“

“we ordered takeout and were so impressed by the food. we typed out a lot of modifications and they were all correctly applied, and everything was absolutely delicious. highly recommend the quesadillas and burritos! will definitely come again.“

“Hubby and I like to experience new restaurants. We were in search of a new Mexican Restaurant-good drinks, good food, great atmosphere- this place had it all. From the background music to the chips and guacamole- the entrée was the cherry on top. The service was great! The food was delicious! We ordered the queso fundido for appetizers it was delicious! Very cheesy and just perfect the drinks- they were amazing! We had their cranberry margarita and regular margarita.It was a wonderful date night. And yes! I would definitely go back againParking: Parking is in the back of restaurant“

“Excellent place to go for legit Mexican food after a show. The staff is super friendly and are highly accommodating. I really recommend their Molotes and other vegetarian options. Their vegetarian tacos are amazing. Overall a really good placeTo dine and the prices are really reasonable too.Vegetarian options: Molotes, vegetarian tacos, cheese enchaladas, jugos.“

“The food was delicious. Homemade corn tortillas, homemade salsa, carnitas street tacos, and fried Yucca were authentic and delicious. The owner Lourdes was very nice and took time to serve us. Would definitely come again for authentic Mexican food.“

“It's great that this company requires name tags. Angie was amazing. I don't need employees to smile but I know most customers do and she did the whole time and her speed should be commended. So much faster than the local Taco Bell and they are actually selling real “

“Really like this place. Food is always good and the price is very reasonable. With so many food options in this area. I feel Ike this is a go to place for MexicanParking: Not a big parking lot , but have not had a issue finding a spot before for lunch.“

“Yummy, the food here is very delicious. Fresh vegetables and white chicken in tacos. The guacamole is delicious too. Hot green sauce is nice too. I would try this place in Great Neck. Tostada's are also very good. We ate there and get to go sometime.“

“Thier food that makes you crave coming back for more. From the incredible birria tacos to burritos and guacamole; everything is fresh and delicious. Beautiful restaurant, perfect for a business meeting during the workday and family in the evening. Looking forward to dining in their new outdoor seating areas as the weather gets warmer.“

“We have been dining at Jalisco since we moved to Glen Cove 1 1/2 years ago.The food is delicious and is always served hot.The atmosphere is is so welcoming and upbeat.The waiters, waitresses and bus boys are friendly and always willing to answer questions.I must mention Oswaldo, who has waited on us many times and he is always polite, friendly and eager to help us decide what try.We bring friends here as well and they too love Jalisco!Wheelchair accessibility: My husband used a walker and Jalisco is easily accessible.“

“I had tripe tacos, which were big and tasty. The server took a few minutes to take my order, and the restaurant was cold, but the temperature was corrected after a while. The TV was also loud. I had only eaten there once, but I would definitely return for more tacos.“

“Always passed this place and finally stopped in as I was in the mood for a burrito and wow I am disappointed in myself for not having this sooner! The burrito was a size and comes with some chips and salsa. I had the pinto bean and cheese burrito and added chicken and it was outstanding! The chicken was very flavorful and the beans and cheese were perfect and it hit the spot! Chips were perfectly cooked and salted and salsas were very good as well. Didn’t know they have been around 30 years and to be in business that long you know it’s good stuff and it definitely is and definitely something you must try!“

“Met some former colleagues here for lunch. Used to frequent this place back in the day. The owner still remembered me. Great place to meet old friends, have a great meal and a good time. Good food and plentiful portions at reasonable prices. Fun atmosphere and never felt rushed, this time or back in the day. Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food.“

“The food is the best. I ordered some shrimp tacos and I almost had a religious experience with those tacos. I totally recommend it! The place is not elegant at all, but the service makes you feel at home. Go and try it, you won't regret it.“

“The food and service here is absolutely incredible! Truly the best tacos I have ever had at a great price. We ordered the carnitas (my personal favorite) and bistec tacos, cecina burrito, and Cubana torta. Everything is so delicious and made to order. Never disappoints, can't wait to return!“

“My family and I came here for lunch -- I liked the vibes in here -- you sit at picnic tables and everything gets served in paper baskets, so it's definitely casual bar-esque vibes. The food came out pretty fast, and I would say our favorites were definitely the boneless wings and rice bowl - wings are wings and the rice bowl was full of toppings and a decent sized portion. The cornbread was a bit of a disappointment because we expected it to be more fresh, but it came out cold and dry. The loaded nachos were decent but pretty average.“

“Amazing experience at this restaurant. The drinks are excellent, the food is fresh & tasty and the service is super attentive. The skirt steak is a good size made to your order, chicken fajitas is a good portion and shrimp enchiladas are delicious. The only negative I have were the prices of desserts, which was a little high. Dessert should be $10 or less not $14 to $15. In all a very good place to have a few drinks and get some good solid food.“

“Best in this area so far! I ordered on Uber eats and Uber mixed up my order! So I needed to go here in person to get my actual order and this place was tiny and actually so cute and well done. I even posted it on my story :) I'll definitely stay for lunch next time. The foods yummy and authentic and the workers who I've spoken to were really patient and great with me they were warm hearted and apologized for any mix up even though it wasn't technically their fault they took the loss. Will be back and back and back. Viva la raza lol“

“OMG one of the best hidden spots in long Island, New York. They have DJ nights and dance parties which have absolutely awesommme ambience. The Dj was soo good , we danced our hearts out. The food was good too, recommend to try out the Mexican food here.It opens a bit late , around 10 pm so be mindful of that . We didn't know and ended up going early and waiting in the parking lot.“

“My two favorite things in the menu are the hand made quesadillas and the Birria ramen. I love the face that these are freshly made to order so steak is juicy and very very tasty best quesadillas and tacos in port Chester for sure. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND“

“(Translated by Google) This place is fantastic, for a long time I have tried a lot of Mexican food both in New York and Connecticut, but this place has that unique touch, I definitely recommend it, my wife and I ordered tacos and tortas everything was very good, the tacos good portion of meat, the exquisite Milanese cakes, it is practically located in port Chester New York and the place appears as there is Jalisco but now it has another name(Original)Este lugar es fantástico, por mucho tiempo e probado mucha comida mexicana tanto en New York como en Connecticut, pero este lugar tiene ese toque único, definitivamente lo recomiendo, mi esposa y yo ordenamos tacos y tortas todo estaba muy bueno, los tacos buena porción de carne, las tortas de milanesa exquisitas, prácticamente está ubicado en port Chester New York y el lugar aparece como hay Jalisco pero ahora tiene otro nombre“

“Yummy yummy yummy! Tostados are fresh and crunchy! Pizzas are yummy too!! Their white pizza and regular pie with pepperoni! I have been in Glen Cove for 7 years and this was the first time we had sampled the food as visitors from out of town dropped in with two pies !! Great go to place and opened late!“

“Great hidden gem! For what it is, 4 stars is fitting. Small and outdated but man can you get amazing food here. Love being able to watch them cook. Can never go wrong with the chilaquiles or huevos rancheros! (Verde for me). Pick out your own drink and enjoy the meal!“

“Welcoming, New Peruvian Restaurant in Byram, right on the Greenwich CT and Port Chester NY border. Greeted by a smiling hostess asking how she could be of assistance. I ask for a take-out menu and was guided to the dinner menu. Wanting to stay with Peruvian food I was familiar with, I went with: Chupe de Camarones; Ceveche de Pescado; and Saltado de Camarones.The shrimp soup was a little different, but as good as, any that we have had in this area. The broth had a little more milk than others and I don't believe I've ever had a couple of small pieces of chicken in the soup either.The "stir-fry" shrimp, with scallions, tomatoes, and peppers over French fries w/a nice side of white rice was very tasty.The marinated mixed fish was extremely fresh and properly marinated at the same time. It is one of the very best Ceveche's we've had in a very long time!Will we be back.....?We can't wait to sample the rest of their menu.“

“Up here working on a job since last January, first Mexican restaurant I've tried. Nothings ever like your favorite place back home, but it wasn't bad. I was concerned at first, dinner time, and I was the only customer in the place. Made me wonder why. Up here from Tennessee, little costly! More like twice the price.“

“Generally like this place. Food is good. Help is friendly. But it was a bit cold for the back patio with no heat lamps on cinco. A little disappointing. I think they were overwhelmed and understaffed. But a good place and I’ll still go back.“
