“This is a gem of a secret! You will be very impressed with the flavor in the meats! They have great authentic choices like el pastor and BIRRIA! The chicken in the quesadillas is better than any other! Messi is a great and cool guy! Check yummy taco out!“
“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.“
“I do eat here twice a week at least near by my job I love them chicken roasted with fries salad and rice for less then 14$ them prices fair specially happy hour drink 8$ that super good for upscale restaurantCustomer service is so great and professional I love the lights and the setting I’m loyal there lol“
“Absolutely amazing! My daughter and I had an appointment in the area today, and being not from the area I asked for recommendations on the Long Island Foodies page. You did not disappoint!! We ordered four tacos (the crispy chicken was my favorite,) corn, jalapeño poppers and drinks. Every single item was amazing! Then the staff - we are outside and from the first staff member we met to the last the service was top notch! Extra thanks to the gentleman who made sure to bring me out some Fat Boy Sauce, because I mentioned it was our first time he said “you have to have it.” He was right. We did! And Sal. Every restaurant should have someone as welcoming and lovely as Sal. He made us feel like regulars on our first time. My daughter has already asked to take the hour trip back again next week, and I’m thinking about it.“
“I was here last night around 8:30pm for the first time and my experience was 10 out of 10. I had the guava coconut margarita on the rocks and it was what I needed after working a 12 hour shift. I'll definitely be returning not because of the great food but because of how kind and pleasant the staff was!!!!!“
“It’s a owner operator business, Manuel, is a star! Went in for lunch with my good friend he was Very attentive. We had the shrimp quesadilla and chicken crunch wrap! Three different mild sauces and three different hot sauces . Their homemade hot sauce was excellent! Chorizos was spectacular! Nobody’s gonna run it the way you want it! Thank you Manuel!Parking: I had no problem parking in front of the business.“
“The food doesn’t have much of taste, over-prices and smaller in portions but the service is very good. Friendly servers. Indoor seating g is limited to two tables despite enough space. Well decorative witb quotes and stuff (irrelevant to a food post) Plus point is it’s HALAL.“
“The food here is beyond valid, I'd go ahead and say it was exemplary. Yummy food, super friendly service, everything is perfect. I've eaten from here a couple times, the tacos are my favorite tbh, but so far I haven't had a single disappointijg item from the menu“
“Been here a couple of times, and each time the food and the service has been amazing! Has definitely become one of my favourite spots for Mexican food in all of Long Island. I can’t wait to keep trying different items on the menu until I’ve tried everything they have to offer. This place is great in every aspect, and worth every penny! The photos are from the last time I went with my boyfriend, we got the birria tacos and el burrito chingon. Portion sizes were perfect!“
“Good food had a Al pastor burrito and tacos, and birria quesadillas. The chips were made there. I ordered picking up from DoorDash so I am not sure about the service but it was a they serve you what you want down a line kind of place too. They have a .75 per lb burrito and some lunch specials I am interested to try.“
“Authentic Mexican place in Floral park. Our kids found this place online and traveled here for good good. We’ve been here many times and tried variety of food.Birria tacos are so flavorful and authentic. Pupusa, nacho supreme, tacos (all kinds), fajita, burritos- all excellent!If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is a good place!“
“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.“
“The best birria tacos! Super juicy and loaded and they come with pickled onions on the side. Convenient location right next to parking lot. I usually get the meal (3 tacos and consome) and one or two extra tacos. Very filling. Staff are fast and friendly. Bring cash and don’t forget to tip.“
“I've been looking for a real good Mexican restaurant. This place is very good and ok. I found the tacos to be very good. They were tasty and I enjoyed them. The Enchilada meal was ok. The beans were good, but the enchiladas were just ok. Overall, I think this place is worth going to again. I do recommend.“
“We were utterly shocked at the delicious, authentic Mexican food served at this hole in the wall spot. The chips were hot & freshly made, & all five of us enjoyed our food. It’s a small space, though, & looks like it used to be a bodega/corner store, but it was one of the best Mexican meals I’ve ever had, & the staff is so friendly & considerate. So if you’re in the area, definitely give it a try.“
“Went here for the first time on 2/10/24. Quaint little mom and pop spot with great food, and a wide menu. I had the Burro Loco, which is steak and fries in a burrito, the Birria Tacos (shown in pic), and the chicken quesadillas. They were all AMAZING! Service with a smile as well.Run, don't walk!!!“
“Ordered a taco instead of a burrito they remade my order and gave me the taco with no issue, the owner is a great guy and you feel like family as soon as you walk in. Don’t forget about how good the food is as well! Would recommend this spot to anyone who likes a fresh authentic burrito!“
“when you enter the interior is kind of odd with one table inside along with a few window seats (two tables outside) but don’t let that turn you away. the food was fresh & tasty.I ordered the Chilaquiles & the grilled chicken caesar wrap. the Chilaquiles had a wonderful green sauce & lots of yummy cheese. the caesar wrap was jam packed with fresh crunchy lettuce, avocado, caesar dressing, & grilled chicken.(side note, the fries were delicious too! thin, crispy, & seasoned well!)it’s a small business folks…food takes time. this isn’t fast food mediocrity!the service was great & attentive. it’s a solid choice! Will come again :)“
“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!“
“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!!!“
“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.“
“Ive been to many mexican restaurants and this will ALWAYS come on top. going to Puerta Mexicana is a gift and something I always love to do with friends and family. This restaurant has opened my eyes to everything birria, and i’m never going back. The birria quesadilla is amazing and I love to get it with extra lime. The atmosphere is so cozy and decorated and i love Puerta Mexicana with all of my heart???“
“Delicious food!This is my fourth time going to the restaurant, I’ve always been greeted with a friendly smile and a hello.I ordered tacos al pastor, and i was amazed to see that they make the tortillas fresh in-house & not store bought ☺️I also had a torta al pastor and it was delicious and fresh. Over this beats any other taco place on long island, so much closer than queens when your craving some tacos and torta :)“
“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.“
“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“
“Everything was amazing!! I’ve been eyeing the place and always smelled their delicious food when walking by and they did NOT disappoint! So glad i tried it and look forward to going again. Only thing is the coconut rice needs to be toned down, I love coconut but that was overkill lol.“
“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!!“
“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.“
“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 :)))“
“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.“

“I am truly so impressed with our experience tonight!!! The food was great and fresh, portions were huge, prices were reasonable and our delivery was quick. My toddler loved it too! Thank you SO much. It was our first time and we will definitely be ordering “
“My family and I went in on a whim today and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was Amazing! And the staff were very attentive too and they got the order perfect! We cant wait to go again! Ps we got the burrito bowls, one chicken, one beef! Very fresh ingredients! Way to go, Guac Time!“
“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“
“I celebrated my birthday & my brothers; they went beyond for our celebration.If you want to feel special for your day, this is the place!Marvin & Chris were amazing! Definitely will come back!!!Rene the owner made us feel at home & went beyond for my birthday and my brother!Lucy the chef was amazing, her food was 10 out of 10!Definitely will be back!!!“
“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!“
“The burrito bowl was really good and at a reasonable price. The pickled onions really added freshness and pop to the dish. We felt a little rushed when ordering since it was our first time here and we were staring at the menu for awhile. However, they are generous with the toppings and the food tasted fresh. We waited way too long for the elote. They said a few minutes but we were almost done with our bowl. It's really good...but not $5 good. Will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu!“
“Very good tacos, good location, good service. Only downside to this place is the lack of seating and overall interior of the store. Would definitely be a lot lot better with more seating and an interior change, but I can get over that for some of the best local tacos.“
“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.“
“10/10! Flavorful authentic Mexican food.I had ordered 3 birria tacos with consome, 3 carne asada tacos supreme, and a torta Al pastor.The birria tacos were so juicy and the meat was tender and flavorful. The carne asada tacos were great with the side sauce added on (free of charge). And the torta was the best out of the three, the fresh avocado was amazing!They have a lot to offer here and I’d highly recommend you try them out :)“
“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.“
“I ate green chilaquiles with cecina and the truth, delicious!The compa Miguel is very friendly, the waitress is very attentive. Thank you for your service, the food and the attention have no complaints!A good place to fill your belly!Blessings Michael!!“
“Before I even get to the food, the service and staff at mesita (Rockville center location) was amazing! The manager Ruben and our waitress Alejandra were so attentive, considerate and went out of their way to make sure everything was as we needed it. It was evident that Ruben took pride in his work as well as having pride for his staff. The food was delicious, the drinks were delicious and still my favorite thing about the place was the wonderful and attentive staff - who even while extremely busy always found time to make sure everything was just right for us!“
“Food is getting better.. the service is okay but stable. The environment can use some help as the tables are often sticky. Getting expensive.Parking: Lots of free parkingKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure if the doors are automatic and there are 2 of them“

“Went here for a breakfast/brunch with my mom and we got the Mexican and Colubian breakfasts along with a coffee each. We also got the guacamole and jalapeños sauces.Coffee was very nice, not too strong and very smooth.My mom loved the Mexican breakfast. The beans were very flavorful and the egg scramble paired very well with pickled jalapeños. The tortillas were nice and hot and didn't break apart even when piled high with beans, rice, and eggs. Highly recommend.I also very much recommend the Columbian breakfast which came with an arepa with cheese, steak, and the same egg scramble. The steak was pretty good. While thin and cooked all the way through, it was crusty, well seasoned, and tender. I poured loads of the jalapeño sauce on top which was great. The arepa was also very nice, crispy bottom and nice gooey cheese.The sauces were also pretty good. I highly recommend the jalapeño sauce. A little kick balanced with a good sour and sweetness. The guacamole sauce was also pretty good, if a bit watery.The portions of the meal were perfectly good and filled you up but for $15 a pop, it's most definitely not an every morning meal.The highlight really was the service. Thr food arrived quickly and hot. The lady at the front desk was very nice and offered for us to finish our meals before paying. She seemed very enthusiastic and was happy to give me more jalapeño sauce when asked.The dining area itself was clean and cute. Nice music and vibes. The cushions on the seats were clean and not deflated and the tables were very clean.Overall, very nice place to eat with some damn good food. If you're looking for a great weekend breakfast/lunch, come here.“
“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 .“
“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“
“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.“
“Excellent traditional Mexican restaurant at moderate prices. Nice menu with multiple choices. Excellent mixed drinks. Compatible with other higher priced local Mexican restaurant, Bessito; but, prices at highly competitive. Highly recommend. There are other locations for this small chain…all are solid.“
