32 Best Mexican Restaurants near Green Island

“This is an order-at-the-counter type place. It was packed with folks picking up takeout and some door dash folks. We were one of the take out orders. Got street tacos and they were legit. Also ordered the chicken mole, rice and beans. My socks were knocked off by the rice and beans and the chicken was delicious. We went back the next day for more. They also had an assortment of vittles (savory and sweet) at the counter.

Update: been there three times and have never been disappointed!! Ordered the chorizo burrito. Good heat level on the sauces that come with it, delicious chorizo flavor. Rice and beans are AMAZING as well. Picked up another couple of tamales de pollo for lunch as well. Great place!!

Vegetarian options: Not sure if there’s animal fat in the beans.

Parking: Lots of space in the lot. Strip-mall look.“

“Had a late lunch/early dinner yesterday. I ordered the “Langosta El Mariachi”. OMG!!! It was beyond delicious! The lobster tails were stuffed with shrimp and scallops with a creamy white sauce and cheese... the green beans seasoned perfectly with fresh garlic, the rice was cooked to perfection. The meal was perfectly plated and resembled a piece of art. I enjoyed every morsel. The lobster,shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant has a wonderful and warm ambiance and it is very clean. I highly recommend everyone to experience their own dining experience here. You won’t be disappointed.

We have yet to have a bad meal here, which is rare in a restaurant. The consistency is remarkable, and the quality never wavers. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for everything you get. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste authentic, and the flavors hit just right. I highly recommend!“

“Lo mejor de Mexico 🤗🥰😍😘🔥🌮“

“AMAZING oxacan cuisine. Amazing green green salsa and thicker tortilla chips . It's very spicy with lots of flavor. We had chicken mole y chicken quesadilla. FANTASTICO . great Mexican flavors . Rich mole que ricoooooo. Will definitely come again. Waitress was beyond nice and inviting. Good quality togo containers, too, for the large portions. The coffee is very unique and has chocolate taste. For the price, you get a LOT OF FOOD . Great munchies for later. Rice and beans cooked perfecto. I didn't even get a picture because we ate it up so quickly. I would say the quesadilla is more on a drier side, but it didn't bother me, really. It still had good seasoning and flavor. I also got corn tortilla, but you can get flour. Very fresh ! Looked homemade. The chicken was beyond tender for the mole. Stewed just enough to stay on the bone but literally fell apart with the touch of the fork. I'm so glad an amazing Mexican place took over the Troy kitchen spot. It's a well-deserved restaurant for how amazing Troy Kitchen was. The only thing was it was a bit cold, and the lighting was dimmer, but they also just opened it. It really doesn't bother me that much bc the food was just 10/10. The decorations are very traditional, and the napkins are folded cutesy into triangles. A lot of love is put into the whole restaurant, and you can tell. It literally made my morning to walk in at 10 am and get delicious oxacan. I do wanna say if you are not used to more authentic Mexican, you might be very surprised what you get . This way, it is more traditional and not Mexican American.“

“Had a much needed bite to eat after Christmas shopping all day. The atmosphere was great, the food was fantastic and the service was just right😊“

“Yum. The guac made at your table is the best!“

“I run a social group for adults with developmental disabilities. We went to the Cinco de Mayo Buffay at ponchos restaurant. The owner and staff there and over backwards to give us a good time. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was phenomenal.“

“Go here, get one of everything, shop the grocery, get ready to live. the 518 is lucky to have a place like this.... tacos, sope, elote, torta etc...all amazing!“

“El Patron is truly a beautiful place. I love the vibrant paintings and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant; it really creates a unique and inviting experience. While I’m personally not the biggest fan of the food, I must say that the service more than makes up for it. It’s definitely an experience worth having.

I admit I may be a bit biased because I prefer authentic Mexican cuisine. However, my partner, who isn’t a huge fan of Mexican food or the Americanized versions, genuinely enjoys what El Patron offers. As they say, "different tastes make the world go round!" It’s great to see how a place can cater to varying preferences and still create a memorable experience for everyone.“

“Elli was amazing this afternoon serving on a busy lunch service. Food was delicious! Great portions . Great buzz around afternoon lunch time. Second time eating here and will be back !“

“Is the Rennslear store going to reopen?“

“We love the RB, going there, the music, etc. Food is very good, great pizza. Recently did take out of 2 melts, delicious. Couple things though... 1) really really irks me when anyone i'm paying doesnt say thanks, thank you, etc. It was take out, I even gave a nice tip. Say thank you - goes a long way. 2) fries were Ok, not great, pasty and just eh, 3) salad greens were disgusting. Inedible, tasted like they were in dirty water, and 4) parking lot was thrashed. this was sat, so cleanup from friday should've been done. Empty bottles, cans, etc. Gross. We'll go back, but it will be a bit.“

“I heard about the restaurant on 93.9 WABY and was excited to try it out. The other night we tried it and we were VERY HAPPY. The food has such an amazing taste to it, everything was a great price and the server was attentive and kind. If you go here and they have the enchilada soup GET IT!!!!!!! Great job, can't wait to go back“

“Super Friendly Staff…Great Atmosphere with Tasty Food and Generous Portions to match…“
