50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Garfield

“Everything was good. The only complain i have is they give you only 90 min to eat and drink. After that time they just bring the check with out us asking and they refuse to keep serving you. They said they have others reservation and people waiting outside for your table. I think they should let you know when you do the table reservation or when you arrive to the place so you can have that on mind. We Drove 1 hr just to get there with a party of 6 and we were consuming all the time . So basically they kick us out.“

“Just tacos. Maybe tacos and a little bit of everything else.
Food was delicious and Enrique was awesome very hospitable made the whole experience even better.
Served hot and wait time was no more than 5-10min for our food.
To be completely transparent a bit on the pricier side but overall 8/10 all around.“

“The chicken lo Mein here is Delicious🥰 as well as the chicken wings, ribs, and pork fried rice just to name a few. I have ordered from here for years. We recently had a fundraiser at our school Garfield School #7, and May didn't hesitate to donate to make the kids experience that much better. She is a very kind person, and her love for her community is shown in her food. Thank you China House!!“

“Accidental find on way to Bermuda!!! Such a fun, vibrant and clean place! The drinks and food top notch. The service even better. @danny helped guide me through menu to get some delicious choices! We will be back!“

“Great evening here with beer and margarita monday , Cucumber, classic and passion fruit absolutely brilliant. smashing service from bar man Trevor was top class and so welcoming....“

“They have the best tacos and burritos“

“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“

“Absolutely incredible place I even got to meet the manager. The guy was awesome. I recommend this place completely to anybody else is off the hook fantastic“

“Talavera did it again! This was my second time visiting this beautiful and cozy restaurant on 10th Avenue, and the experience has been consistently excellent. The service is attentive and thorough, while the food and drinks are delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with great attention to detail. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Taqueria on 10th was honestly an incredible dining experience! The food was absolutely amazing, authentic, flavorful, and you could immediately tell that the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. We ordered the carnitas tacos, steak tacos, nachos, elote, and churros, and everything was delicious. The tacos were packed with flavor, the nachos were loaded and perfectly balanced, and the churros were the perfect way to finish the meal.

The margaritas were INSANE and definitely some of the best we’ve had in NYC. A huge shoutout to Cesar, our bartender, for making such amazing drinks!

But what really made our experience stand out was the service. Louis, our server, was phenomenal—so attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely made us feel so welcomed throughout the entire meal. Excellent service can make such a difference, and Louis truly went above and beyond.

Between the incredible food, amazing margaritas, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service, Taqueria on 10th is absolutely worth visiting if you’re in Hudson Yards. We will definitely be back!“

“😍 I Love ❤️ their chicken and steak 🥩 tacos 🌮 and their Melanesa steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 🥰❤️“

“Delicious and unique items available on the menu. The staff, food, and environment and overall experience were 10/10. Definitely check it out!“

“This was the best Mexican meal I've ever had outside of Mexico City itself. Note that the food here is based on the cuisines of two Mexican states in the southern and central western parts of Mexico: Oaxaca and Jalisco. Two friends, my wife, and I really loved the tuna tostados, truffle esquites (street corn), arrachera, veggie tacos, and churros that were all part of the Power Lunch menu. We also enjoyed their Sangria and Gringo drinks. Our server, Sharon, was very frinedly and knew the menu well. My only minor nit was that she asked us how our appetizers were before we had even touched them. I highly recommend Kahlo to people who like flavorful food and would like to try a different kind of Mexican food.“

“Hermoso restaurante de comida internacional música tragos espectaculares y ambiente súper agradable“

“Très bon restaurant, le personnel est chaleureux et très attentionné ☺️ j’ai adoré mon repas 🤤🤤“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“So delicious and authentic! Wonderful service :)“

“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“

“A neighborhood gem if you want a low key dinner. We had the vegetarian tacos and the Bahn mi chicken samdwich. The tacos were great but the Bahn mi was a knockout..nice bread, tasty chicken, crunchy vegetables and an amazing spicy mayo sauce. Out waiter was very nice and the atmosphere is just the right amount of funky.“

“What a delightful surprise tucked away in a lovely side street in Union City. On a dog walk in the neighborhood, I wandered by only to return that evening. This menu is by no means standard, it introduces elements of northern Mexican cuisine with nuanced flavors to deliver a sophisticated plate. The same attention given to the culinary side of things is repeated throughout what I like to define as Spanish bistro. The owner Yannin and her son Justin have imbued their space with original touches, hidden nooks and happy, unobtrusive music; altogether a lovely experience whether in company or alone. A neighborhood treasure.“

“Excellent food good portions and great drinks it was great from start to finish Ava was attended and friendly nothing but good vibes would definitely come back again.“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“Playa Betty's has great tasting tacos and the staff and atmosphere is awesome! ❣️ frm:🇯🇵🇺🇸“

“Hubby and I needed a quick place to eat before back to school night in town. This place is absolutely DELICIOUS! We ordered the chicken birria tacos, and the “Al pastor”, and we shared them. The pineapple in the steak and the cilantro and fresh lime to squeeze over was fantastic. The birria sauce was so tasty! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Love the place,love the service and the lobster tacos 🌮 were amazing.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“We stumbled in and it was the best decision ever! The cocktails were phenomenal and all the juices were fresh and you can tell. The salsas were just as great as the drinks. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Tequila, the food and of course, Amanda!“

“went to the west 43rd street location in Manhattan. huge portions and excellent food“

“The birria tacos were delicious! Excellent service.“

“A minimalist place, deserving of special occasions when you want to focus on the company without the food getting in the way but facilitating the connection.
Guac is well conceived, just ask for a side of salt flakes to enhance the flavors. The avocado squash is rather unique. The most unique branzino experience I've had, with a lat am flare. Don't leave without capping off with the merengue dessert. Summer Aqua fresca was a welcome novel alternative to an alcoholic beverage to complement dinner.
Last but not least, many thanks to the kind and dotting staff for bringing their craft to the table!“

“Definitivamente las mejores quesadillas de Tinga al carbón.“

“Ate at Ponche Taqueria yesterday with a friend before seeing a show. Great food, and freindly service! Menu is basic, but offers plenty. Guacamole was delicious as were the taco combo plates! Get off the beaten path a bit & you will be rewarded!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and interesting menu offering plenty of delicious options. We will be back for sure!“

“Ronny was absolutely amazing and made our visit to Chevy’s a great experience from start to finish. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine personality immediately made us feel welcomed. He didn’t just provide great service he made sure we felt comfortable, respected, and truly cared for.
What impressed us the most was the way Ronny treated my mom. He went out of his way to make sure she was happy and had everything she needed. His patience, positive attitude, and thoughtful way of helping made her feel special. My mom left Chevy’s with a big smile and kept talking about how wonderful Ronny was and how much she appreciated the way he treated us.
People like Ronny are what make a place stand out. He brings great energy, kindness, and dedication to his work, and it shows through the way he interacts with customers. He made our experience memorable, and we are truly grateful for the excellent service he provided. Chevy’s is lucky to have someone like Ronny on their team, and we look forward to coming back again because of him. THANK YOUUUU SO MUCH RONNY❤“

“Casa Carmen is a wonderful neighborhood favorite. The food and drinks are delicious, service is excellent and the restaurant space is very attractive with a beautiful bar. Our favorites are the hibiscus mezcalita on the rocks, the manzanita spritz, the sea bass in sauce of tomatoes, olives and capers and the rib eye and carnitos tacos. The guacamole is also delicious as are other dishes. Super lovely staff all around from entering the restaurant to leaving. Thank you to you all!“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“Best bar in NYC hands down! Best fishbowls I’ve had to date! For great food and creative drinks, located in the heart of NYC, it’s a must go!“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Delicious and the best service by far in NY.“

“This place is a hidden gem! I’ve been coming here for over a year and every single time I have a great experience. The people are super nice, and friendly. You can really tell they like what they do. And the food.. It is always AMAZING, very flavorful, authentic, and portions are very generous. The empanadas and burritos are my favorite but all items are great! Every time I get the chance to, I recommend it to friends and family!“

“Best tacos in Jersey that I’ve had so far. We ordered chicken tacos Birria style and they were so good. The girl taking orders was really kind and helped us with our order and brought our food to the table. Their salsa verde is good too. $35 for 7 tacos and a jarrito.
Clean bathroom!“

“Un lugar muy hermoso 🤩 y encantador ☺️“

“This was our first time visiting Qdoba, and it certainly won’t be our last! Jenna was beyond friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. She took the time to engage with my granddaughter, which made the experience even more special for our family. The customer service was exceptional, and to top it all off, the food was absolutely delicious. We had an amazing experience and can’t wait to come back!“

“Great meal - drinks extraordinary. Definitely coming back.“

“Writing this in the middle of my meal, it’s that good. The design language, vibe, and quality are top tier. The staff went out of their way as a solo eater on a busy night to make sure I wasn’t waiting.

Huge recommend, so glad I stopped in.“
