Mexican Restaurants near Forest Hills

“The food here was absolutely delicious! Erica provided such a great customer & she took such good care of us for our catering order as well! Definitely would come back for the great customer service she provided us and she recommended to try some of the new wings which I’m very excited about.“

“Elote and horchata. Oh. My. Goodness! This was our first time here and we are already planning our next visit. I saw the Elote sign in the window and HAD to go in. My hubby never had either so I knew it would be a treat for him. Let me just say, the elote was SO good that we each got another order! Make sure to get it with Tajin (we got it with our second orders and hubby LOVED it). Isabel took our orders and served us; she is so sweet. The restaurant is very neat and clean which is important. Oh yeah, the horchata was the best I've ever had. 😁“

“We went to Chipotle in Austin Street and the food was good. Service was quite fast and the staff is friendly and accommodating. I think we went in between cleaning shifts of the restaurant for I found it somewhat messy. Their bowls and salads are always plentiful. The service team was truly busy but did a great job serving us.“

“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!!

“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“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“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!!!!!“

“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“

“Phenomenal Mexican food and a fun atmosphere“

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

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

“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!!!“

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

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

“La Contenta is really amazing! Great food, fabulous drinks, a small quiet restaurant, and Alejandro makes everyone feel welcome and happy! Everyone - try the Nachos with chorizo. Best in NYC! Can't wait to try their sister restaurant Vallarta Tropical!“

“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.“

“We came here on the recommendation of a friend and even with her glowing review, we were still blown away! Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were a steal. Our family had the truffle quesadillas, the carne asada tacos, and the langosta tacos. We shared an order of guac and the kids had the flan and churros for dessert. Great dinner; we can't wait to return!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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??“

“After finishing the New York marathon we arrived at this lovely restaurant. They served us very kindly. We had to sit at the bar and that was excellent. Pablo and Daniel served us, they are friendly people. We had a super delicious spicy tuna dish for dinner and the fish of the day, which was fantastic. IPA beer on tap and a Margarita. Dessert and espresso. Totally recommended. The chef is an artist, and the bartenders too!“

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

“💥💥💥💥💥 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!“

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

“Fabulous food, drinks and service!“

“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.“

“Everything we tried was good, would pretty happily eat here again. Service was good and interior was cute. Portions felt slightly small for the price, but I suppose you’re not supposed to get stuffed at lunch. We visited with two non-vegans who also seemed pretty satisfied Updated from previous review on 2025-02-09“

“Exelente servicio y la comida muy rica“

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

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 🙏🏼👍🥰“
