50 Best Mexican Restaurants near College Point

“Súper riquísimo todo y el ambiente laboral muy bien“

“This cool place makes me feel I’m in El Salvador. The music they play overhead, the strong ac as it’s hot and humid outside, the ambience inside, the wide mirror, green color walls, clean wooden benches lining the walls, and their authentic delicious puspusa is excellent. My husband and I just love this place. The guy who served our meal is sensitive or understands that we needed 2 spoons for the soup. Overall, I recommend to try this place and I give 5 stars for making me so welcome and cool and rested. The price is also reasonable.“

“I have to say this restaurant was absolutely delicious!! So glad we tried the only Mexican Michelin star in New York!!!

We went here for our anniversary and were very pleased! Our reservation was for 9 and our table was ready exactly at that time.  Service was fantastic! Our waiter was really friendly and very knowledgeable about all the food items.  He answered all of our questions about flavors and portion sizes quite thoroughly which made our decisions easy!

Their tequila and mezcal varieties were very extensive and they had great cocktail options as well! For appetizers we decided to choose the smoked mangoes, tuna tostada, and the punta verde caesar.  All were so tasty and had such amazing flavor, we even ordered another tuna tostada!!  I would say we felt the mangoes were more of a snack/dessert and not an app but we were not mad about it at all because the smokiness they were able to get into the mangoes was amazing!

For the main course we went with the lamb and swordfish tacos (it comes with 2 each).  They are average sized, nothing too big or small especially since we ordered so many appetizers between the two of us!!  Both dishes were so flavorful!! I would highly recommend trying everything you have room for since the choices we made were bursting with so much flavor!

We chose the Oaxacan chocolate cake and the tres leches for dessert.  The cake and ice cream had a strong espresso flavor, maybe because I don't drink any coffee/espresso at all but it was still very tasty.

Overall this was a very affordable Michelin Star restaurant and we were extremely pleased with every aspect of our dining experience.  We would absolutely return to try more menu items and highly recommend paying them a visit if you are a fan of big, bold flavors!!

(The photos are not great sorry.)“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“Great value for the amount of food you get! I highly recommend - it's fast and very reasonable when it comes to price. It's a seat yourself type of restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating - very casual.

Vegetarian options: Eggplant tacos“

“First time eating here, the food is amazing! I have a shellfish allergy and the server had so many options for me. The chips and salsa sooo good, the tostada atún soooooooo good, I’m currently still here about to eat fish tacos. Also the mock tails are soooooo good!!!! 20/10 rating. Will come again!!!!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I like their food and service.
A group of young men putting the work. The place is nice and clean, their food is very good. Those guys really tried. I used to order online, today I decided to walk in eventhough it took them a lil time to have my order ready once served I was very pleased with the food. 10 out of 10z.

Athmosphere, could be a little better.“

“Taqueria Tlaxcalli is absolutely delicious!“

“Excellent atmosphere. Amazing Mexican food. I especially love their moles.“

“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 )“

“Since our first visit to this location, the food has not been a disappointment. The food is always really good with the perfect portions. We can’t wait to try out more of the options on the menu. The customer service is also something we always come back too. They treat us so kind. Thank you!“

“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!!!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“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??“

“Had the pleasure of dining here over the weekend. Lets start with the ambiance, perfectly lit warm and inviting. The service was impeccable from the host to our server everyone knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Now to the food, arguably some of the best Oaxacan cuisine I have tasted outside of Mexico. The crudo was so fresh and vibrant the short rib memela was one of the best dishes I have had in a very long time. Everything was fresh and tasty. Thanks to everyone who made this meal such an amazing experience. Truly looking forward to my next visit!!!“

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

“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.“

“It's a nice chill spot for a couple or group of friends. The food is really good and it comes to your table quickly. The people are very nice. They also have take out..there is street parking and a rest room. Wheel chairs are ok since it's on the street level. With no ramp. And small outdoor dining space

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes a wheelchair can get into the place. It's ground level, no steps. They can dine-in or take out.“

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

“Braulio our bartender was amazing, knowledgeable and provided exceptional service ?. The octopus and steak were delicious, tender, and had the perfect char. If you're lucky you may meet the owner Chris and Owner/Chef Gerardo who are warm and welcoming and great conversation ? Going back for brunch soon. The Mezcal sangria is chef's ?“

“Exelente servicio y la comida muy rica“

“This place is incredible. The food is outstanding and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The nachos are a must - probably the best nachos I’ve ever had. Also, the huevos burrito with the chipotle sauce was great. I wish I had tried the churritos for dessert. Excellent spot in Williamsburg! Updated from previous review on 2025-03-31“

“Fabulous food, drinks and service!“

“I looked up what foods in the area were top rated and this little restaurant popped up. So I went for a try. Got the steak nachos and WOW. Everything taste fresh and even the chip were crispy fresh and taste homemade. The crema, beans, steak well seasoned, guacamole all paired wonderfully and perfect portions of each. I hate getting nachos with 80% chips, 10% beans and barely any protein. This place knows exactly what they’re doing and I can’t wait to try other stuff on their menu. Also it’s a very small restaurant with limited seating. I took my food to-go and it was well packaged and hot.“

“We had a great experience at Xolo! We started off with the guacamole and chips and the ahi tuna tostadas, so fresh! All of our entrees were filled with flavor and some of the BIGGEST burritos I ever seen! Margaritas are amazing too! Deff try this place 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.“

“lovely hidden gem on Avenue A between 13th and 14th streets. The place is family owned and operated and the food is to do for. It is reasonably priced, I often find myself trying to figure out if I want a tamale or a shredded beef or pork taco.“

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

“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.“

“Great food! enjoyed the experience....“

“Super amazing what highly recommend the Ramen was my most favorite place in the churros were amazing with the caramel dip. I feel like other people should go to this place too and I feel like this is just the best restaurant I ever been in New York City.“

“delicious food and drinks. i came for the happy hour solo and sat at the bar. the service was super friendly and i have no complaints. i had 2 passion fruit margaritas and enjoyed the nachos with chicken. i came here from harlem and will definitely be back with friends next time!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Hungry looking around for a place not too pricey to have a quick made me come across this little Mexican restaurant.
Nice atmosphere with Banda music which is classic to Mexican restaurants (I don't mind it as long as it's not too loud)
Our waiter was a kind gentleman. He could've been a tad more attentive in refilling chips or just give updates from the kitchen but, I'm not really bothered.
Food was delicious it just took a good minute for us to get it.
Things to note: no parking, they charge extra for paying with a card.
Overall, I will probably come back. Just because new York is too large to explore. You really need to make a good impression to have repeat customers without seeing other options first.“

“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“
