Mexican Restaurants near Fresh Meadows

“Good food reasonably priced. Don’t like that too many teenagers hang out there without purchasing any food or drinks and there’s no space for paying customers to sit and eat. Management seems to take a blind eye to this.“

“Keepin it real out here in Fresh Meadows
Idk why ppl hate on this spot so much, been here 3 times and all been pretty decent. Large windows good lighting helps with the vibe. Lot of students so can get loud but was pretty under control. Chipotle Forest Hills absolute wack with their portion, just saying, here's decent“

“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.“

“César’s service was simply spectacular — out of this world. 🙌
The drinks he made for us, the food — everything was incredible. Very talkative, friendly, and with a super cool vibe — he truly made the whole experience even better.
He prepared a spicy mezcalita and a michelada that, honestly, not even in Mexico had I ever had ones that good! 🔥🍹
I 100% recommend César and his amazing service. Without a doubt, an experience worth repeating many, many times.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

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

“Chill location in Bronx, near Arthur Ave.

Tacos were perfect, frozen margarita were from another league and churros were amazing.
To add, service was fast and you always feel like your being served by a relative and not a stranger.

To add it all, pricing is a great value with respect to quality and service.

100% would come back“

“Taqueria Tlaxcalli is absolutely delicious!“

“Best Quesabirria!“

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

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

“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“

“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“

“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)“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“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!“

“Loved this spot! Great food and service!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Was skeptical about this place at first because I didn't want to pay $5 for one fish taco (shame on me) BUT after tasting it... I was hooked! Especially since they use cod and not tilapia like other places do.
The establishment is authentic and the food tastes like it with really reasonable prices and great food. Now fyi the guac and churros aren't the best by themselves. You should order the guac mixed in and the churros.. I don't know what to advise on that one but hey you might like it.. idk
The agua frescas are delicious especially the watermelon when in season.
I can definitely say try them for that quick casual local neighborhood spot that will satisfy your cravings for Mexican food. ❤️“

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

“Real homemade corn tortilla, lots of lime slices offered (which we appreciated🥹); it’s self service and you can choose for example, no onions or another option. Salsa and other sauces are available all you can eat. All in all, this is great honest food.“

“The new lunch menu Is really good! The burritos are very large and delicious. The tacos are quite small but tasty. The service is always friendly but it's slow because there's usually only one server who also acts as bartender and host too during lunch time. I've never seen it very busy yet. They charge a $25 hold for a reservation, which probably makes a lot of people not want to go because they think the place is going to be extremely high demand or fancy. This is a nice casual neighborhood restaurant and I think that if they took that off their website they would have a lot more business.“

“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.“

“Best molé I have eaten in years - and I’ve travelled to Mexico City specifically to eat. So good I HAD to compliment the chef. Complex, just the right amount of heat…what can I say except it’s REALLY good.

You sit on high wooden stools- so bring a seat cushion if you have sore butt issues but a few tamarind margaritas should help with that. A perfect pairing. Will return.“

“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…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“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“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! The meat is juicy and flavorful. Really hit the spot. It’s hard to believe we have authentic Mexican cuisine in east queens. But this place hits. We will definitely come back

Huge bonus to the service and free tortillas chips & salsa

There special items on weekends such as Taco de oreja and Taco de lengua“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“We had a great time here, everyone enjoyed their food. They backyard decor was so eclectic and fun. I had a vegetarian dish that was soo good, cheese and zucchini I dont remember the name. Everyone enjoyed their cocktail and their meal. We also got a dessert which was tasty too.“

“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.“

“I love coming to this place! Great vibes, great food and great music! They have bingos on Wednesdays which is a ton of fun and I highly recommend! Huge shoutout to Kevin, nice guy who’s very attentive, friendly, and always makes our meal a great experience!“

“I come here almost every week and I’m kind of obsessed with it. The decor is wildly eccentric — there’s an ice cream shop setup that never seems to be active, these indoor-patio-type structures, and a whole bar world in the back I’ve still never explored. You even pay at what looks like a candy-shop counter. It’s just fantastic.

It’s also almost always empty, which I truly don’t understand, because the food is great. The menu is mostly classic Mexican fare, but nearly every dish I’ve tried has some unique little twist that shows they’re really putting in the work.

I’ve gotten pretty enamored with this place. Highly recommend checking it out.“

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

“In a little deli looking storefront is nenes. Smallish spot but big flavor!Prepare to wait at least 20 mins for your order. Theres a ton of delivery pickups from online orders that's how popular they are. I recommend preordering online for pickup if you dont want to wait. Eitherway It was delicious 😋 and worth the wait.
I was happy i got to finally try their birria pizza with their consomme ($26). Easily can feed 4 people. Its cut into 8 slices but the average person can probably eat 2 slices.
Its 3 cheesy 12 to 14 in. tortillas packed with birria and guacamole, layered and toasted to perfection. The one time we didn't take a picture because we were so hungry after a long day, we just wanted to eat. They have a simple menu with tacos, quesadillas and even combo meals. All are worth trying.
Prices are very fair and especially for birria. Theres a small seating area like 6 chairs max for those who want to eat there. I prefer to have at home.
I cant wait to go back again for more.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“We had a great time at this location. The atmosphere was cool, the music wasn’t loud, the waiter were busy. For appetizers we had the “CORN ESQUITES” and it was delicious. For our meal we had a feast of food. We try different types of tacos (AL PASTOR, BAJA CRISPY FISH, BEEF RIBEYE DELUXE” and their burritos and it was great! The price of the tacos were steep, I ain’t going to lie. Also if you like American style tacos with lots of cheese and sauces, then these might not be the tacos for you. The alcoholic drink were good! The “Mexican” soda in the bottle was flat for us.

Street parking in this area is not the best.

The food was great.“
