50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Haverstraw

“Finding QUALITY AUTHENTIC mexican food is hard in Rockland. But this place checks all the marks. No random peas or lettuce in dishes that dont have it. Great salsa verde (sometimes it is a bit spicy, so careful folks). Delicious chilaquiles. Great torta. Hand squeezed orance juice. This is a hidden gem. Somewhat easy to park.“

“Top notch Mexican food at a great price. Aquas frescas are amazing, authentic, and at least 20 fl. oz. Prices are perfect. Small dining room, but they do not cramp the tables together. Spanish-language talk shows or telenovelas on a 50" screen blare their Central- and South-American equivalents of nonsense TV. It all makes for a perfect combination of a good lunch somewhere.The food is top notch, with the chips/salsa plentiful. Want guac? It's homemade and, if I recall, $8 for a ton of it. Their plates will overwhelm you, again, for a reasonable price. Plus, seasonings are spot on.You have to go there. Tip well. I know I will again after a luncheon there once upon a random time.“

“Great tasting tacos. In Haverstraw my go-to used to be Marianitas, but as of late I've been going to Sabor de Guerrero. Great customer service, and very reasonable prices and deals. 15 tacos for $20. I also love how their tortillas aren't drenched in grease.

The restaurant is clean, and their workers are very nice. Shoutout to my man Samuel.“

“Delicioso muy buen sabor“

“I don't come for the food so i can't review the restaurant, but i heard it's good. I'm reviewing more for the night life on the weekend. There is a dj and they play Hispanic music; reggaeton, cumbia, bachata, merengue, and salsa. Great vibes and good drinks. Dancing gets going around midnight so don't be surprised if it's a little dead early on. Wait until later and it will be lively with a fun crowd?“

“Always do take out , never disappoints ! Best Tacos in the Area

Update :

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We’ve been here before and every time, it just gets better. This visit we had the torta and tacos de lengua, and they were absolutely phenomenal. The torta was packed with flavor and perfectly toasted, and the lengua tacos were melt-in-your-mouth tender. The customer service is always so friendly and genuine.
Out of all the spots we’ve tried in Rockland, this one is literally the best. No question. The quality, the flavor, it’s unmatched. If you haven’t been here you’re seriously missing out. Do yourself a favor and try this place !“

“Great company, food and service. We got the Sea Bass Ceviche which was delicious and fresh with a decent amount of heat, but could have used more sea bass in it. Guac and sampler salsas were good. Potatoes greasy but super crispy and soft inside. The short ribs were excellent. The favorite item by consensus with companions was the unique and scrumptious corn cake. All items were gluten free and separate fryer and menu made this restaurant an easy choice. Our server was Alice who guided us on selections with humor and confidence. She hustled and we appreciated her!“

“Amazing food and great hospitality. Definitely gives you that family feel.“

“Walked the Tappan Zee Bridge from Rockland to Westchester and made our way to the Taco Project for awesome Chicken Tacos and some Mango Margaritas! After all we earned it! 😉 Will definitely be back again and will recommend to all my friends!“

“We love this place! I am from the Southwest and haven’t had tortillas like this in ages! We will be back! So fresh! So good!“

“The Food here is the same as there other locations but this location is more of a restaurant they have nice interior with a neutral blue and white color scheme as well as there packaging. The employees are polite and make sure everything is taken care of, if your missing salsa or if something is wrong and needs to be changed overall 10/10 for Don Chuy’s Tako“

“I love this place for the Delicious Authentic Mexican food .. the atmosphere is fun & alive. And let’s not forget the Staff they are accommodating & friendly. Great music takes you away just a fun place all around!“

“Best tacos ever . I’ve been a client since the Sombrero truck on Market St in between Checkers and post office . Then they moved to union blvd . I’ve taken my immediate family ,taken friends , when my outer states visitors come is the first place they get taken to also!! Really everything is made fresh and there’s not one dish I can pick over another !! Can’t wait to get back from Puerto Rico to get some real tacos !!! Pa alante !!!“

“Don’t go to the new Chipotle across the street, go here. They greet me with a smile every visit, food is prepared well, and the sauce options cannot be beat. With Taco Bell prices rising, this is your best bet for Mexican food by a mile.“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“Quick service, good prices, fantastic food. If I lived nearer I'd be visiting multiple times a week.“

“Excellent food service in an unassuming area - highly recommend !“

“Great food and great service!“

“Walking into Mariana’s restaurant was like a trip from cold New York to warm Mexico. I loved the ambience, the sound of Mexican music, colorful Mexican decor, a wonderfully accommodating waiter, Jose, coupled with delicious authentic-tasting Mexican food was a treat for my senses. The generous portion of food was bursting with flavor. The entire experience at Mariana’s Restaurant was well worth the ride from Manhattan. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mariana’s Restaurant. You will be seeing me again, the sooner, the better.“

“★★★★★

Raíces Modern Mexican is an absolute gem! From the beautiful atmosphere to the welcoming service, everything about this place makes you want to stay and enjoy the experience.

But the Steak Frites… WOW. Easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. The steak was incredibly tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor, while the fries were crispy, seasoned perfectly, and the ideal complement to the steak. Every bite was better than the last.

You can tell there’s real attention to detail behind the food here. The flavors are bold, the presentation is beautiful, and the whole experience feels like a step above your typical Mexican restaurant.

The reviews are definitely right about this place—the food is flavorful, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff make you feel welcome. If you come to Raíces, do yourself a favor and order the Steak Frites. It’s a MUST.“

“Delicious food & drinks. Super friendly staff. Saturday & Sunday brunch is incredible. The place is always decorated for the holidays. We’ve been going there for years. Even though covid shutdowns, years of road construction blocking their entrance, they never gave up. They still decorated the place, had specials, and it seemed the portions got bigger & better. We’ve had some really fun parties & great times there. We support them every chance we get. Highly recommended!!!“

“Gabriel was our server and he was incredible! The food was amazing and the drinks were awesome! Our new favorite Mexican restaurant. We will become regulars!! 😊 thank you, Gabriel!!!!!“

“Amazing trays of 30 tacos and all veggies on the side! Plus we grabbed some Empanadas too! Today was the perfect day for us to try them since we were right at the mall! The owner was too sweet and brought us all kinds of things to try while we were waiting! The Biria was to die for and he brought us this Mexican Pizza absolutely mouthwatering! It is inside the gas station across from the Palisades! Seriously such good authentic Mexican food! He says you can even call and ask what his special is. He tries different things every week! Let's support a small local business! La Fondita Jarocha“

“Great views, atmosphere and staff. Most importantly the food is super delicious, reasonably priced and good size portions. What more can you ask for.“

“The best and most authentic Mexican food there is. Their carnitas and carne asada are so flavorful and juicy. Everything they serve is amazingly delicious. My go-to food for comfort. It’s a diamond in the rough! We love it!! DELICIOUS!“

“I finally made it over to Carlitos Tequileria, and it completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was modern, colorful, and so inviting.The food here is next-level fresh. We came after a show for some drinks and tacos with handmade tortillas were absolutely bursting with flavor. But the real showstopper was their new specialty tequila cocktail ‘El Don’! It was perfectly balanced—smooth, refreshing, and crafted with top-shelf tequila that packed just the right punch without being overly sweet.Fast, friendly service and an amazing atmosphere make this the perfect spot for date night or hanging out with friends. If you haven't been here yet, you need to check them out! 🍹🌮“

“Just discovered this place last weekend after seeing a movie at Regal. The tacos were delicious and reasonably priced, and the service was incredible. Allen made us feel welcome to what was to us a new place. Looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Dined in with 4 adults and 2 8 yr old boys and it was great. Good service and delicious food. The drinks were also great-traditional margaritas & something with Hennessy. Ambiance even on a Monday was very cool. Well done Yuka’s! Your parking lot is always crowded so I knew you were good.“

“The food is always fresh and unlike other Mexican restaurants in the area, they listen to you. I like my food on the spicy side, no gringo American for me!! Lol“

“Just had ours delivered to Bear Mountain Lodge. Delivery lady was very nice and the food was fresh and delicious!! There was so much that we couldn't even finish it. Highly reccomend! Will come back :-)“

“Absolutely loved this place definitely a hole in the wall. Be prepared to EAT they do serve heavy, recommend come with an appetite. Prices are fair $40 for a large drink that serves two, Quesabirria that truly serves 2 and tacos de res (beef tacos) that serve 2. Overall ambiance is great makes it feel like home. Overall 10/10

Gracias por todo, muy rico y Espero poder volver pronto“

“Margaritas…Wednesday, be there or be squared.“

“To start off, this place is authentic AF and the portions are very generous so don't get freaked out about the $30 to $40 range that I just put this place under. You start off with nachos and amazing homemade salsa on the house along with a cheesy tortilla melt to whet your appetite even further. I highly suggest the Margaritas or the sangrias -- we added the guacamole which was more than enough for 4 ppl. Everything comes with rice and beans! And they even add a fried banana taquito on the house with a scoop of vanilla ice cream plus a shot of tequila as a night cap. They make you feel like you're part of the family and you just got invited to dinner with grandmother's cooking. All I can say is I took half my (shrimp) entree home and ate it again the next day. Safe to say, it tasted even better the next day! And I'm still craving more! Can't wait to go back with the whole family!! Thanks to everyone at Tua Cocina for a delicious meal!“

“This place is so legit. The people who I am assuming own and operate the spot are always the people I see when I come in. They’re so nice and I appreciate their entire energy and vibe. Food is killer. So happy to support this venue. Highly recommend. 11/10“

“This was our second time coming here as a family, and I almost never write reviews, but this place is such a gem that I wanted to spread the word. The food is spectacular, especially the birria tacos. Everything we’ve tried has tasted incredibly fresh and authentic, and the staff are always attentive, welcoming, and kind.

I love Mexican food and have been fortunate to enjoy it in Mexico as well as at countless Mexican restaurants across the U.S. After trying many places throughout Westchester and Manhattan, I can confidently say this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. We will absolutely be back!“

“Just came here for the first time. Ordered a Carne Asada Burrito and Guac and Chips $35 total. The Burrito was spectacular and so were the guac and chips! The atmosphere was very authentic. I felt like I was in a Mexican colmadon (deli). I loved the vibe. I walked from home. So this will be a local favorite of mine. Thank you.“

“Came here with my girlfriend loved loved loved the atmosphere and the tacos were excellent! Prices were great and so was the service we will be back!! 5 stars“

“Exelente comida recomendado....!“

“Me encanto , la música 🎶 increíble“

“I got something new, a Chiwawa- which is a giant ball of rice and cheese that they break open, add cheese sauce, protein (I got grilled chicken), sauce (Sriracha Honey), grilled buggies, black beans. It was very delicious, honestly 3 meals’ worth of yummy!!“

“good quality is very poor. rice was hard and chewy, meats were dry and overcooked...and it was 12pm. expected fresher and better quality. the veg options did appear and taste fresh. overall, ok once...but would not be a go to again for us Owings Mills, MD location“

“This is my new favorite for tacos, sopes & more, and they have Jarritos and my favorite sodas! Employees are very kind, the food is delicious and they made my day better!? Thank you!My new favorite place for tacos and they have my favorite sodas! The employees are very, very friendly, the food is very tasty! HhYou made my day better! Thank you very much!“

“Went here with a group of friends. They were very accommodating and we had great service. The decor is very rustic and the live fire and large comal is a nice touch as well as functional! They make fresh flour and corn tortillas for your order. I had the carnitas platter and it was perfectly cooked. Would definitely go back again. Mexican rice was in point and the salsa was hot but delicious. Fantastic Mexican spot that won’t disappoint.“

“We had excellent food and two great and amazing servers. Kevin is very hospitable and made our first-time experience very pleasant. Today, we had Alex. He did the same. Alex corrected a mistake without even asking. The food is delicious also.“

“Best chef ever!!!!! Good is authentic Mexican … very happy with the service.“

“Great service and food! Qull definitely be back! A+++“
