50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Far Rockaway

“The food was delicious ?, went back twice in one day and was definitely satisfied each time. The restaurant's atmosphere is nice as well, upbeat music and nice decor. The service was decent, not bad at all. Overall I would definitely recommend this place!“

“I love every bit of my experience. The fact that they make all orders fresh was very refreshing. They had this strawberry lemonade with chia seed that was soooo delicious. Although I took my order to go there was a family enjoying a meal and the manger came to check on them as well.“

“We love ordering from Sunny! Food is really delicious and price is just right. Our favorites are the hibachi chicken and steak with the fried rice and the chicken and steak quesadillas. Depending on the time of your order, delivery can sometimes take an hour, but on a not so busy hour, can be delivered at your door in 30 minutes. Definitely recommend ?“

“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“

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“Simply the best….. better than all the rest. Our go to spot for authentic food and it always delivers. Family owned, not some soulless chain. Support a local eatery today!“

“The menu had so many great options! The food is great, we ordered beef tacos, a mixed platter, mango mock tails and a boba tea. The man who helped us was friendly and welcoming! My family and I had a great time. We will be visiting again!“

“First time visitor of Girasoles. Small neighborhood restaurant in the Jamaica area. There are a handful of seats, some bar style and a table or two. It’s summer so it’s a bit warm in there even with the AC running. (Sit in the back, AC feels better there.) The lady that took the order was pleasant. Decent service, suitable for the establishment.

I tried the Steak Quesadilla as my introduction to their cuisine. The steak was tender and flavorful, the Cojito queso was new to me but added to the meal perfectly. My platter came with shredded lettuce, one small tomato slice (could have used a few more) and a little bit of guacamole. This didn’t seem like restaurant quality. It was better, more like mom or abuela was back there preparing dishes. I added a Coca Cola, the cool glass bottle ones that taste just a little bit better than the others you buy. (IYKYK)

Reasonable prices, really good food. Will be back to try another dish.“

“This bar/restaurant is the best. Great drinks. Great food. Great people!! Do not miss Lime & Salt!!“

“Great atmosphere and vibe. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Our waitress, Jahira, was wonderful. She was quick to pivot when we needed something less spicy. Everything was cooked well and delicious. There were lots of birthday celebrations with staff singing. Great place for family dinners or date night. The non leche tres leches was dynamite“

“One thing I miss about living in Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap location, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while.

After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected.

However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper.“

“Rica la comida y muy buena la atención 👍recomendable 💯“

“Went there around 9pm we ordered the food the place was clean but we decided to take the food to go , when we came home the food didn't taste fresh at all the meats tasted like it was sitting out for hours. I had Mexican food before and to be honest in my best opinion the food was disgusting. A huge dumbs down..“

“I love coming here. Great juices! Love it very much! ImThey have passion fruit juice, pineapple juice, coconut juice, horchata, and cantaloupe/melon juice etc.! 💕 It is delicious! My friend orders the Mexican hotdog and loves it. It comes with ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, onions, tomatoes. He said it is very good! My other friend orders the “ Tacos dorados” with chicken and they come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and sour cream on top. My friend says these are very good too. Maybe could use more flavor he says but still they are very good! Photos are attached! They have a good Mexican steak torta which is a steak sandwich that comes with Mexican cheese, beans, guacamole, a sauce, lettuce, tomato, it is very good and I like it!!! The yellow lemonade in the photos with the steak torta is not from them. I also love their brown juice which is “tamarindo / tamarind” !!! Their other juices are very good as well !!!! 😋“

“Our family hosted a luncheon for approx 25 people at Cabo in the atrium space at the rear of the restaurant. Angelo and his team were outstanding! The quality and diverse selection of the food was second to none! Not only were our meat eaters satisfied, but so were our vegan and gluten free guests. Angelo and his staff were so attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend Cabo for anyone looking for a private party space but also for that nice dinner with friends. Great atmosphere and value. Well done Cabo!!“

“awesome menu items great service“

“I have been to this restaurant with friends at least 8 or more times. (Mostly recently was a few days ago.) Without fail, the service is simply outstanding. The wait staff are so courteous, accommodating, and polite to a fault.

The food is good and reasonably priced. The setting is very inviting, whether inside or outside. The owners obviously have great pride of place. The restaurant has beautiful flowers in window boxes all along the perimeter. This makes for a very pleasant setting. The flowers are obviously lovingly maintained.“

“They follow up properly when they bring new dishes. Enhancing everything else, the staff was approachable and helpful. This place offers reasonable costs for where it sits. You can discover flavors that feel invented here. My review is complete.“

“Súper higiénico, rica comida y saludable buen ambiente social, amables“

“Mesita hosted my wedding yesterday. The staff were incredibly helpful from start to finish. And the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! 10/10 recommend!“

“Come in, sit down and enjoy some Mexican food.“

“Very good food & great service, 5 stars hands down, & MOST IMPORTANTLY!! ITS CLEAN IN HERE!!, the Birria & quesillo hero comes exactly as advertised including everything else on this menu, I’d eat another if I can 😂 if you guys haven’t tried this or anything else your missing out ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll continue to eat from here“

“The taco choices are amazing and delicious“

“Small place mostly pick up or delivery with huge selection of items. Burritos are very tasty i Bought both pork and beef burritos, They also had fried chicken salted beef spicy versions of all and will serve hot sauces on the side. The portions are huge and very tasty.“

“I stopped by here last week and was surprised at how empty it was when I arrived. It’s hard to say if that was because they were nearing closing time or if it’s just a quieter spot during the week.

I ordered the shrimp burrito, and it hit the spot. I wasn’t expecting them to be so generous with the shrimp, but they really packed it in and I appreciated that. It was filling.

One thing that did catch me off guard was the price of guacamole. When I asked to add some, they told me it would be an extra five dollars. Personally, I think that’s a bit excessive, so I ended up asking them to leave it off.

On the upside, I noticed they’re open later during the week than a lot of other restaurants in the area, which is definitely convenient if you’re grabbing a bite later in the evening.“

“I discover this hidden gem a few months ago and have since visited a bunch of times. It’s become my to go place for authentic Mexican tacos and sopas. Everything they make is delicious and tastes as if made by someone’s grandma. This last time, had their pork pozole …. It’s probably the best one I’ve had in NYC. Their burritos are humongous and their tacos are great. This is a must visit if you like Mexican food.“
