50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Westchester

“The wonderful lady at the register was kind and respectful. I really enjoyed the chicken and how it was cooked. The presentation of the tacos were nice and appealing. It was quite place but I was obviously there around lunch time so I good portion was men getting lunch while working. Good place to stop by for a good and decently affordable meal.“

“Went all in and got the Cheez-it crunch wrap.I had heard it's got a shorer life span than the tostada based one. In the app you can customize it so did easy sour cream and nacho cheese to help it (added some jalapenos) $7.65 with tax.It was good, a novelty really, I can see why it gets soggy, the cheezits pulverize under the slightest pressure, the crunch wrap gets put through a panni press to toast it. I gobbled it in the parking lot before running some errands and it was as I described. Get the jalapenos, get the extra lettuce. All and all a tasty treat.“

“I loved to food here, I found the place one TikTok I personally do recommend the food especially the shrimp burrito, ts was bomb ngl it was so good especially with the salsas that they have complimented it so well, I also recommend the tripa tacos I loved them and they didn’t over cook it nor undercooked it, overall the service was good and the staff was every kind, if you go here be ready to be mind blown with the food, I do say you have to go here with time because the food is freshly made.“

“Birria muy buena y Ahora tienen TACOS de Machitos y es de lo mejor que eh probado 💯% , Te mantienen bien atendido todo el tiempo“

“What can I say other than this place feels like home! Lulu is so welcoming and energetic, she could put a smile on anyone's face with her demeanor. The food hits every single mark. Fresh vegetables, tender meat, amazing stews and soups. I had ordered a feast and left with a clear table, a happy heart, and a full stomach. Gracias Pueblo Nuevo for what you give to the community“

“Oooooorale’! We found another hidden gem! (Well not really hidden, lol) este restaurante está riquísimo! For all of you non-Spanish speakers, this place is delicious! It looks small from the outside, but it’s enormous in flavor! It’s a very cute and nicely decorated place. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. But the food… it rocks! We ordered the Orden de Quesobirria and a Carne en su Jugo and a Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus water) and a Horchata (rice water). The Carne stew was delicious! So many levels of flavors. The birria was fantastic! Levels and levels of flavor. Will definitely be back for the Menudo this weekend. See you all here!“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“Needed to kill time while my girlfriend's car was being worked on...we saw this place and decided to stop for breakfast.
This is one of those moments where wonder happens when you least expect it!
The diner counter style seating let's you watch all the action. The, obviously, fresh ingredients that were being piled upon my giant tortilla were becoming a Mt Everest size stack and made me wonder if the chef could possibly wrap it up into a breakfast burrito.
She did...and it was amazing!
I could only eat one half.
Air was enormous whilst only carrying an 11.00 USD price tag.
Absolutely outrageous!

I wholeheartedly recommend Santa Masa!

BTW... everyone was so kind and full of smiles.“

“Fresh and good flavor. Not a big menu but burrito was outstanding.“

“love this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“Excellent food! Menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining. It can be pricey to some, but worth it and they do different deals on different nights so it’s worth checking them out. If this venue was in the #Pilsen area, you would def need a month or two reservations. The chef is #Michelin rated – say no more. Highly recommended. Next time in Chi-town I would def make this a stop. #exceptional #FineDiningMexican“

“Fantastic authentic Mexican food. Highly recommended.“

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“Soooooo goooddd! Best asada taco I’ve had in a while!“

“The ONLY bad thing about this taqueria is how long it took me to realize #1 how close it was to my house, and #2 how DELICIOUS all of their food is!!!

This last summer I couldn't wait to sneak out of the house for a quick taco and a good book and their cute little patio section, which I did every chance I got. The staff are all super sweet. They are a cash only establishment.

My three go-to tacos are:
#1- The Texano - Shrimp cooked with chorizo with cabbage.... the shrimp is always fresh and tasty, and never rubbery
#2 - The Arriero - Steak, black beans, peppers, cheese, and nopales, all a perfect combination with one another!
#3 - The Happy Taco - Pork with onions, jalapenos, and zucchini

My husband loves their burritos, but I almost ALWAYS get one, two, or all three of these options when I go. Two tacos generally fill me up because they do a great job of not skimping on ingredients. The inside sit down area is very small, and looks like it could maybe accommodate 3 people at the window area. Still a perfect to-go spot when it's cold. I know I saw another location not too far away, so I'm curious to check them out as well. I usually walk over, but parking finding street parking doesn't seem to be a huge problem either.“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

“Terrace Cantina is hands-down our favorite Mexican restaurant, and it has been for years. It’s one of those truly underrated gems that makes you wonder how more people don’t know about it—especially when it’s so much better than any chain restaurant around.

The food is consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels like comfort food you crave and something special at the same time. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, perfect whether you’re out for a casual dinner or celebrating something.

What really sets Terrace Cantina apart, though, are the people. The owners are wonderful, the servers are attentive and kind, and you genuinely feel appreciated every time you walk in. Even our toddler loves it here and begs to go after daycare—which says a lot. They’re patient, friendly, and make dining with a little one feel easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food in a place that feels like a community favorite (not a corporate chain), Terrace Cantina is it. We’ll keep coming back—just like we always have.“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

Lady that was serving us explained it was her and her family’s business and they are extremely kind and accommodating. It is easily one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend. Enchiladas estilo Jalisco and flautas are my favorite. We can’t get enough! We hope they stick around for many many years to come.“

“Unique outlay of the restaurant, and a lovely salsa when you first sit down!!! Haven’t had warm salsa in a long time. I was also delighted with the cup of soup before the meal!!! Everything about our visit was fantastic. I’m especially glad to support businesses like this one.“

“This place was good. I came here for lunch and ordered the 2.50$ chicken tinga lunch special taco. It was very flavorful and a good serving of the meat, also ordered the horchata since you need to order it with a drink. The service was great, people were very friendly and attentive.“

“I love it 😍 El México a Chicago“

“Son Los Mejores Tacos Que E Probado y Apesar de que están Muy Ricos Son Muy Limpios y Te Atienden Bien“

“Called ahead to place an order late morning on a weekday, worker proved to be fast and efficient. They get VERY busy on the weekends may have to wait a few minutes. Champurrado was pretty good. Personal favorite tamales GREEN CHICKEN & RAJAS 😋🔥Nice local taste of home!“

“The food was amazing. The staff was amazing.. what i did not like was that in the menu it stated that party of 5 or more gratuity is included 20% we were a party of 4 and they automatically included it the tip was $60 and some change although everything was great it was not a $60 tip the bus runners came to our table more than the waiter did. That's illegal... We still paid because I was just in a good mood and the food was great but it shouldn't be allowed and if that's something the restaurant is allowing and making them do than that's crazy and one day someone will make a real complaint“

“Everything very delicious try the quesabirrias!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh—seriously, even the water tasted super refreshing, which is a rarity!

I decided to try the marlin ceviche, and it was a game-changer. The marlin was perfectly marinated, bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. For my main dish, I ordered the huevos rancheros, and it did not disappoint! The eggs were cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich and savory sauce that tied everything together. Both dishes were so good that I found myself savoring every bite.

I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a great meal, I highly recommend visiting restaurant! You won’t regret it!“
