50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Briarwood

“Super impressed with this place! I’ve eaten takeout Chinese food everywhere but this was solid! Prices are even cheaper than in other states and quality is better. Got general Tao’s chicken, string bean in garlic sauce, cheese wontons, and brown rice. Ordered for delivery but they forgot an item. When I called, the employee let me know they had caught their mistake and had sent another driver. Sure enough, within 5 min, the last part of the order was on my plate. Would definitely recommend due to service, quality, and pricing!“

“Its a tiny yet good takeout spot with a variety of chinese and mexican food and I don’t think they offer dine in. I called the store to order and the staff was really friendly to take my order. I tried their shrimp and mushrooms with the side of brown rice and hot and sour soup. I really enjoyed the food and the quantity was huge for the low price. Great addition to the neighborhood.“

“Al though is a small place where my expectations were low, I was quite impressed with the atmosphere and service here. The food has been great so far and the the young ladies who attend this place have been quite warming and charming! It's a must try and will definitely be coming back!“

“Whewwwwweee did I enjoy myself!

First of all, it's gorgeous, so sunshine-y and green. We sat at the bar and the service was great. We ordered the cantaloupe slushies and they were so, so good! They weren't overly strong + they mix them themselves, just a few ingredients. The guac was a little small but delicious. The pork tacos were pretty expensive for 2, I thought, until I tasted them. WOW, so good. We were so busy catching up, we didn't realize they'd closed to get ready for dinner. They emphasized we hadn't overstayed our welcome, we could stay as long as we needed.
And the disco-themed restroom + playlist? Excellente“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“Small but fresh menu made it perfect for making decisions and also means the food SHOULD be great across the board and they did not let us down.

Calm atmosphere was perfect for intimate gatherings and a focus attention on your party.

The chips and salsa was a great way to start opening the pallet to different flavors paired with
The Amarillos aguachiles which was light, sweet, and refreshing

Tostada de atun was mouth watering, fresh, flavorful and my personal favorite of the night but a tough 2nd pick was the branzino we order which comes with a nice pineapple salsa. The fish was cooked perfectly and also so fresh.

Everything here is fresh and packed with flavor, perfect for hot summer night, light dinners, or parties with friends.“

“Stumbled across Chavela's totally on accident(thanks maps for taking me to the wrong place.) The food, the drinks, the service, all so amazing. Our server, I think her name was Mary, was amazing and friendly. I can't wait to come back!!!“

“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“I am in awe how absolutely incredible the shrimp tacos were. When I was checking out at the restaurant I got a bit of sticker shock on how expensive it was, however it was well worth it. 100% recommend. Fast service and cute neighborhood vibe.“

“everything was delicious, atmosphere was fantastic, service was great. Highly recommended!“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ALL AROUND!!!
Such incredible food and drinks. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The Pozole was amazing. We sat at the kitchen bar and watching the chefs execute each dish was absolute food porn. RECOMMEND!!!!!“

“Let me emphasize this, NOBODY and I do mean NOBODY, makes a delicious bowl the way Tacobees do. I live far and order with extra charges through Ubereats because it’s just that good and worth every penny. I get burritos the size of a tiny baby. I should know because I’ve had tiny humans before and those burritos are at least 2lbs or more lol.

The way the burritos and bowls are made, is just so good. They don’t skimp out on anything. It’ll be full to the absolute brim. Their queso and guac is hands down the best out of all other chains (Chipotle, Moe’s and Qdoba.) The steak and honey chicken is just chefs kiss. I love how my delivery is also always warm and the most important part, correct. They just get me and can take my check any weekend!“

“My first time eating here! The horchata is the best I've ever had! I’m now able to differentiate between authentic Horchata and mid horchata thanks to this restaurant! This is a small restaurant but so festive and beautiful! They cooked the food with love. Me and my wife had the Birria Pizza. The meat was cooked well and the pizza stood in tact.“

“Taqueria Tlaxcalli is absolutely delicious!“

“Such an incredible experience . Tasting menu was amazing !“

“I had the pizza birria it was delicious ?. The service too & everything is made in front of you fresh love the salsa station. This is no restaurant is more like a Mexican Bodega with a Flat Top. Quick Tip Get Some Mexican Paletas ( Ice Cream )“

“An Absolute Gem in Astoria!
While visiting New York, I was introduced to MAYAHUEL in Astoria—and let me just say, it’s hands down the best Mexican restaurant I’ve had in a very long time. We sat outside and enjoyed an unforgettable dinner in a cozy, welcoming setting.

The queso fundido with chorizo and the guacamole with chips were beyond amazing—some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Then came the Enchiladas Suizas, and wow… the salsa verde was truly next level. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavor and made with care.

This spot is a must-visit for anyone craving outstanding Mexican cuisine. I’ll be recommending MAYAHUEL to everyone—and I absolutely can’t wait to return! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Every time I show up, the employees suggest the best food available, they are generous always. If the container is empty, they walk to the kitchen to refill for fresh food.
They have good attitude.
The food is always on point, it’s hard to find the right place to dine for less than $20 dollars.
Adobo - M G is a great place for take out and family.“

“The best tacos that you can eat is in this place! The real authentic mexican food ?? You can watch all your sports games, of course those from Mexico too!
The owner is super helpful and always makes sure you have a good time ?
Definitely it could be one of your favorite places??“

“Honestly, if you are looking for a really amazing spot to get a halal burrito or Mexican food, Guac Time is literally the best option. I have been coming here at least once every week since I found out about this place and honestly the food is so addicting. The service is great and employees are so welcoming.“

“Comida súper autentica, deliciosa, sabrosa y los precios súper accesibles! 100% recomendado“

“We had an amazing dinner here after stopping in to the nearby sculpture museum (also very cool). Good frozen cocktails, fantastic tacos and everyone on staff was kind, accommodating and quick! They had little hats for the kids which were so cute, and strong AC inside. Great place for a summer dinner out!“

“Atmosphere was sophisticated especially compared to neighborhood Mexican restaurants. Service was attentive. But the food was disappointing. House salad was nice, with a touch of unexpected mint, but the Vegetarian Chili Rellenos with winter vegetables really missed the mark. In hindsight I should have returned it as it was warm but barely cooked. Every vegetable stuffed in the poblano chili, including the chili itself, was still crunchy (almost raw) rather than what I am sure the head chef would have intended. Also, The carrot pure sauce was a bit too heavy on the cream. I had high expectations, so was disappointed.“

“Had an awesome time. Choose them for my birthday brunch and they did not disappoint. Great food awesome atmosphere and great service. Our waitress was the “Bomb” highly recommended 🙏🏼👍🥰“

“The customer service is wonderful, from Adrián specifically, and the food is even better. It manages to maintain the authentic cuisine of Mexico and at the same time provide a touch of modernity. Plus the party music and colorful lights simply bring a great atmosphere!“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

“Amazing food at a good price with great portion sizes! I always get the chimichangas and I love that you get rice, beans, a salad, and a couple plantains - it's usually enough food for me to stretch it to 1.5-2 meals, even though the food is so good I want to eat it all at once.“

“After an impromptu evening painting trash where the clouds were quickly blowing around & each moment in the sky looked like a biblical scene, I had the fish burrito 10/10, orange & red sauces 10/10. There are 3 beta fish on a shelf in the back that need attention, their tanks to be cleaned, to be kissed.“

“I don’t understand does this place not read the instructions of their orders ? Why do you always forget to add the sauces when the instructions specifically says to put in on the side. The sauces are one of your main attractions and the only reason I order. Or else I’m better off ordering from chipotle. Please get it together I will not longer be ordering from here.“

“New favorite Mexican in the neighborhood for date night - cocktails are great, food is delicious and generous portions. Staff is nice and attentive.

My fav part is their playlist, I’ve been 3 times now and playlist is just perfection“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“We were *obsessed* with our experience here. The food was incredible, the drinks were creative and delicious, and the views were stunning. The outdoor area fills up fast (we came in at 6:30 on a Tuesday and it was already full) but the covered patio area was just as nice. Whoever our server was in that area was such a gem. Such a lovely guy!“

“Was here for the first time Awesome all around - everyone friendly - great food - great entertainment !“

“This place is great! I couldn't find a reason to give it anything under 5 stars. Staff are kind and patient, atmosphere is nice, and food is so good I leave with my belly STUFFED every time lol! This place is turning me into a bigback. 😜“

“Los mejores tacos que he comido en mi vida!“

“This place rules. Favorite burrito in BK. It's a utility burrito, sturdy - you can eat it with your hands no foil and its heavy you're going to be catatonic after eating it. Quesadilla are also heavy heavy, they do not skimp on the meats, veggies, mushrooms, what have you. Favors are great, salsas are poppin, vibes are welcoming. Thank you Rancho, te amo.“

“Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“This spot is hands-down the best taco I’ve had in New York city. They make their corn tortillas from scratch and all of the proteins are out of this world delicious. I met the owner Carolina, she is absolutely delightful. The space itself is really cool, and word is definitely spread in as to how awesome the food is. Definitely suggest anyone in the Bushwick area to come swing by and give this place a try. It’s literally a perfect taco.“

“food is tasty and fresh. service is very pleasant atmosphere is welcoming I will be back“

“This is delicious Crown Heights street food. Open late if your ambling home from a bar and need some filling food to put you to bed. Or in our case, wanting a Sunday night 10pm taco after driving 8 hours. We had tacos al pastor and birrierria - EXCELLENT. Fresh little double corn tortilla tacos with the radish and lime. Also, excellent sauces. Loved the green hot sauce.“

“Saludo banda estoy aquí Las chilangas les recomiendo que la quesadilla 🌮están súper delicioso vengan ah pasar con sus familia y el servicio es espectacular.“

“The food is delicious, they always accommodate my needs. They have excellent wines, The atmosphere is calm, perfect for eating and relaxing for a moment, free from the stress of everyday life, the young woman who serves simply has a good attitude, is friendly and always serves with a nice smile. It's my favorite place. 100% recommended.“

“The food is absolutely delicious, and it is well priced in light of the good portion sizes. We ordered 3 soups, 1 of each kind that they offer. Wow, they were each *incredible* and we can’t wait to go back for more. We are very grateful that this restaurant exists and is in the neighborhood! We had been looking for authentic Mexican food in the area and it looks like we have found it!“

“What a gem. Got a chicken burrito and it was exactly what I wanted: plenty of chicken, loaded with rice and beans, good tortilla that they grilled just right. And the guys working the truck are super nice, overall great experience for the price.“

“Came in on a Friday at noon - the interior was welcoming and clean. I ordered the La Callejera and it was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Portion was big for me - ended up eating half and will be eating other half for dinner. Would definitely come in again. Order total was about 21 for the torta and a Mexican coke.“

“So this place opened up less than a year ago.Me and my husband have definitely been here at least 4x ... Let's start with the bartender ( same guy every time) his personality is absolutely amazing.The whole atmosphere is insane.Lee literally like a breath out of the Bronx for a minute... I can't stress their shrimp tacos enough... it is my ultimate favorite but I also had prime rib taco's last time & beyond ?... Me and my husband have date night at least 2x weekly & if you want an intimate atmosphere that's décor is beautifu. l.Music is mexican music which is very fitting but know this "you're gonna spend money" for 2 ppl a shot and a Margarita each then an entree. y appetizer is gonna.
Cost you around $200 and it's worth it every time!!!“

“Decided to treat myself to dinner and went to check out this place. Came in during a dinner rush and was seated right away. A nice dark atmosphere. I ordered the NY strip steak and I gotta say it was amazing. Cooked to perfection, melted in my mouth. Cooked like a real steak a perfect medium rare. So good on its own and didn't any sauce but it came with a delicious arbol chilli salsa. Great service with friendly staff. I can't wait to come back and try the lamb tacos amongst other things. I highly recommend a lovely dinner here“

“Enjoyed the delicious foods, lovely plating. Left happy and satisfying. Would recommend to anyone to eat there.“

“Me and my daughter, enjoyed this restaurant so much during our Mommy and Me weekend! The atmosphere was laid back and quite relaxing. The service was superb and the food was so good, we had to order food to bring home. I would give this establishment 6 stars if I could. We were both very pleased and we will be dining here again very soon. If you have not been here, you should definitely give them a visit. Peace and Love, Chele from the Block.“
