Mexican Restaurants near Briarwood

“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.“

“Amazing food and service. 1000% recommend.“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“We have eaten here many times, so I surprised myself when I realized I haven’t reviewed it yet!
Oso has consistently great food and service
We’ve never been disappointed in any dish!
Our faves are the chips and guac, burrito, and of course the tacos.
This is real Mexican, not the Tex-Mex most Americans are used to: Clean, fresh, flavorful, and healthy
The staff is always welcoming, friendly, and professional
Never been there for dinner, only brunch, simply because we usually cook dinner at home
But I have no doubt that the dinner menu is at least as good as brunch
Highly recommend!“

“great wait staff.. even better food“

“I really like this place. It's cozy, the service was excellent, the food really tasty and not so pricey. Recomendado 👌🏼. Taste like authentic Mexican food and michelada 😉😉. The red hot sauce was delicious: hot 🔥 but not so much, depending on how much you can add to your food. Also so.rthing Super important: the Restaurant is so clean !“

“I don't often review fast casual spots but I am passionate about Tacobees. The staff are great, it is always super clean, and the food on the line is fresh every time I go. They are running a super tight ship. Can't recommend enough.“

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

“The best Mexican food I've had in New York. Great nachos, great tacos, quesadillas, really everything I've gotten has been great.

My wife and I come here for taco Tuesdays and everytime we're in the area.

Solid date night, solid chill bar, solid dinner spot.“

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

“Drove all the way here from New Jersey and it was worth the drive!!!!!!! 20/10 food & customer service! Luz was very welcoming and gave great recommendations. The guac and chips didn’t last for too long as you can tell by the picture. but the quesabirria, enchilada and tacos are a must buy!! i’ll probably be back to eat tomorrow lol“

“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.“

“It was a surprise to find this little restaurant in Harlem. There were no tables, and we took the last two seats at the bar. While we waited, I surprisingly felt at home. The aroma of the food, the care with which Karina prepared each of the dishes, and the kindness and joy they served us. By the time our table was ready, we didn't want to take it anymore; we ate much more than we planned to order because we didn't want to miss out on their delicious food. I have dietary restrictions, and I was surprised to see that everything from the exquisite tortillas to the delicious tres leches dessert was prepared right there, gluten-free and preservative-free. I hope to return soon.“

“We checked into our hotel nearby and needed some food while we waited on our room to be ready. We found a hidden gem! The service is outstanding and the enchiladas were delicious!! The vibe is like a typical hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Definitely recommend!“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

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

“Taqueria Tlaxcalli is absolutely delicious!“

“If my friends drag me to greenpoint I will stop here before hitting any bar 100% of the time. Every single thing I’ve ordered has been delicious you can’t go wrong, seriously. Great salsa options and roasted peppers for us pepper heads. I literally cannot be in the neighborhood without stopping here. Thanks guys!“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious!“

“The loaded fries are amazing reminds me of my home town California has some of the best Mexican foods and this make me feel so close to home foreal… I think I order these at least twice a week eventually I’m going try something else because I know it’s good well I have tried their churros and those was really good“

“My favorite place. I love to go there everyday.“

“Service is okay but not great but food is very good“

“this place is the best, the food, the atmosphere, the drink!!!“

“When we review restaurants it should be in the context of what they are, and what they are for. This is a beyond serviceable lunch spot that seems to invalidate existence of the nearby chipotle, and possibly even the nearby sweet green.

The food is fresh, the prices are reasonable and the portions are immense. The staff is friendly and the place is clean.

The food is also, by the way, quite tasty.

There are a lot of lunch options in the neighborhood but this is clearly one of the best if you are seeking a chipotle style meal.

I feel as if given the context I have no choice but to give this place five stars“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Esse Taco keeps things simple, and it works. I tried the chicken taco — juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a fresh tortilla that held everything together nicely. The flavors were balanced without being overcomplicated, letting the quality of the ingredients stand out.
The space is small and casual with mostly standing tables, but service is quick and the focus is clearly on the food. A solid spot if you’re looking for a straightforward, well-executed taco.“

“weekly Mexican. quality ingredients lovingly prepared. and all the staples attended to (e.g. rice is perfect, fluffy and flavorful even on its own. guacamole and tortillas stars on their own. care in the daily details many others simply rush and brilliance in actual dishes from chili relleno to enchiladas)“

“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!“

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

“The music is always on point. Come on a sunday if you are into Karoke, it is a vibe.“

“Such a great spot! Not just because of the quality masa, delicious fillings, and casual atmosphere, but they also carry great agave spirits (I had some Amatiteña blanco during my last visit, and even the price point was... *Drum roll ... On point (Thank you! I'll let myself out).“

“Great place! I went for brunch and got myself some chilaquiles and a michelada, the perfect hangover combo.

The chilaquiles were the real deal, like the ones I had in Mexico, perhaps a bit spicy, but that was part of the experience. Buenísimos.

Shout out to Beto at the bar too. He’s such a friendly guy.

Now I need go back for some mezcalitos.“

“I lived in Chicago for like 15 years and Chicago by-and-large has better Mexican food than New York. This is one of the first spots I've hit that really impressed me. Really enjoyed the food and the vibes were nice. We shared guacamole which was excellent, really well seasoned and with great texture. I got the birria tacos, and I went with people who got (IIRC) shrimp tacos and fish tacos respectively. Everybody was happy with their order. Will go back, no doubt.“

“This is a hole in the wall kind of space but I had an Al Pastor Burrito from here and I see why this place is 4.8 Stars as of this review. They put LOVE into their food. Ever since I went to Mexico City, I have HIGH STANDARDS for Mexican food and I have to say that this place ranks top 5 for me in the CITY. If you are ever around in the area, I highly recommend. I will be back!“

“Lo recomiendo por el hambiente porque el servicio de las meseras es pesimo y la comida y los tragos tardan mas de una hora en entregartelos despues de ordenarlos y aunque ya tengas reservacion toda via tendras que esperar en la Estrada del restaurante un buen tiempo.“

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

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“This is one of those places where you have a favorite dish but it pains you to order it because the rest of the menu looks spectacular. The food is fantastic here, and great value. Staff is attentive and professional. Great blend of cafe/brunch options and full featured entrees for lunch/dinner.“

“Kaur & Sunita were very kind in greeting me & my friend. They both were patient and gentle in preparing our meals. My veggie quesadilla was delicious and made exactly as I asked.
Veggie Quesdilla: sprinkled with light cheese, bell peppers, lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, red cabbage, spinach, & tofu.

I'll be back from New Jersey.“

“Where do I start? The food was on point. The tacos have a hearty feel to them. They dont fall apart and the flavor melts in your mouth. The appetizers are all good. They all pair well with the drink selections. Signature drinks are well curated and thoughtful. The ambiance is bring a friend, a date, some friends and come have a good time. Hospitality is top notch and professional always. I would definitely be back for another night on the town. Thank my cousin for suggesting this place. Cantina 138 needs to be put on the map!

“One of my favorite place to grab lunch during lunch break. Usually like their burrito bowl. Like the food but front cashiers behavior is not nice. All the time they make faces as if they are tired and not at all welcoming.
Need to work on that.
Thanks“

“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…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“Me and my friend had a great experience dining at elNico on a very cold Thursday bight in January. All the dishes we tried were tasty and flavorful from the elote to the guac & chips, the cauliflower tacos were amazing, the main fish dish (it was fried cod) really good. We also enjoyed their version of margarita. Nice and kind server, Bryceon and manager Arianna.

The winterhouse set up outside was cool but way too cold to be there.

Overall good experience.“

“Quick eats spot that I think is underrated. Amount of food is reasonable for the price and not to mention delicious. I ordered takeout but there are about 3 tables in the restaurant for dine-in. Also, it’s a mom and pop shop and their daughter works the register. They’re super respectful and sweet. You should definitely go support them and try their yummy food!“

“So so good! The service was great, they are super friendly! We had two quesadillas (carnitas and steak) the Esquite and 2 margaritas (coconut and blood orange) 🔥 🔥 . Everything was delicious and affordable. No complaints! Must go!!“
