Mexican Restaurants near Howard Beach

“Do not let others experiences deter you from coming here, 9x out of 10 it is people who feel entitled and are essentially blowing things out of proportion. Portions are fair, customer service is great if you want more simply ask. Also looking at the reviews a lot of the employees are minors and this is their first job so give grace. It’s not that deep. Great establishment if you want chipotle this is the location to come to“

“Went here for halloween & the worker making the bowls was super sweet! complimenting and guessing costumes. he brought a smile to me and my friends faces !! really made my day. he was working super fast! worked very well and spoke at the same time providing great communication and customer service skills!! one of the workers whispered to him and i believe told him to stop talking but he was very quick with the talk and moved on to the next person. lwk upset me but overall the food was great!“

“Congratulations to the night crew! I can easily complain, so it's nice to be able to give a compliment. We ordered through Uber Eats, and our food was very well made, warm and delicious. Whoever prepared the food took their time and created a work of art! Not a tomatoe out of place! I would definitely order from there again, hoping to get the same staff who were on tonight!“

“Amazing food and service. 1000% recommend.“

“Truly the greatest dining experience you can have in the area. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is so welcoming and inviting, you’ll never want to leave. If you get a chance, Monica is also the best part of the whole experience. She made our night a 10 out of 10 to 11. Might have to come on a weekly basis moving forward.“

“Food was mad dope, got a chorizo burrito that made me see god. You will leave fed and happy. The waitress was very nice and helpful with giving recommendations for dinner and I definitely do not know her but I think her name was Joanna pic related: this was my face after eating the burrito followed by a quinoa bowl“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“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....“

“Carnitas Ramirez is one of the most authentic taco spot I tried on the East Coast. We went there on a Saturday night and tried six different type of meats, all flavorful and melting in the mouth, with a special mention for the crispy pork belly. Do not hesitate to try the most unusual cuts! These are among the most surprising and delightful one.“

“💥💥💥💥💥 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!“

“Delicious and unique items available on the menu. The staff, food, and environment and overall experience were 10/10. Definitely check it out!“

“I really loved this place. It has a nice indoor and maybe an even nicer outdoor area. The staff was very kind too. I came here with a mission. 😎 I’m a huge fan of tripa so of course i tried the TRIPA taco and i chose ASADA too with steak. I really loved both, the textures, the flavours, everything was great. I loved the texture of the tripa tha most!!! Oh and the texture of the tortilla… wow, i loved that too. 😋“

“Had the most wonderful experience here. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. From the drinks to the appetizers and entrées. And you definitely can't forget the delicious flan for dessert! Every dish was full of flavor, and the service was excellent.
I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone looking for excellent Mexican food!“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“los mejores tacos al pastor!!!!!👍👍👍👍“

“Very creative dishes like the ceviche & other delicious fish dinners. Of course the churros are great.“

“I visited this taco spot and the food was amazing! I wasn't entirely sure what I ordered because of some unfamiliar terms on the menu, but except for the quesadilla, we tried 6 different items and every single one of them was delicious.
However, the seating is quite limited and not very comfortable. If you live close enough that your tacos won't get cold on the way, I’d highly recommend ordering takeout instead.“

“So delicious and authentic! Wonderful service :)“

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

“5 stars all the way for an excellent experience at Jajaja. Their range of vegan dishes capturing the essence of Mexican cuisine is excellent for all. Portions were good, food was great and service was courteous, and fast. The decor and the ambience of the restaurant is bright and colorful. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

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

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“Wow. Can’t even find the words to express how amazing this was. 100% worth everything. The service was amazing, such a sweet woman. We were well taken care of and the food is delicious. Will definitely be coming back next time we are near LIC!“

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

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

“So fabulous! Delicious food! Amazing service! If you are any where near Brooklyn, it is a must!!“

“I’ve been eyeing this place for a while and excited to go: it’s extremely cute, the ambiance and staff are great, the atmosphere is nice overall.
Unfortunately, the prices and the food you get do not level out: the prices are high and portions are small, as someone already mentioned, expect to walk out hungry with a $100 check per person if you skip desert.
I might come back for the bar happy hour but the dinner was underwhelming solely because of how little you get for the price.“

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

“Service was great, friendly and the dishes came pretty fast. The horchata tasted fresh and made with love, not watered down like other restaurants I’ve tried before. I ordered the octopus tacos and didn’t have high expectations because most restaurants don’t cook octopus correctly, but THIS PLACE NAILS IT. It was perfection. SO SO SOOOO good. I will definitely be thinking about this meal for a while and will come back to try more dishes!“

“Absolutely one of the best bars I’ve ever been in!! Walked into a random Dodger Heaven and thank god I did!! Great owners, terrific service and wonderful employees!! Mariachi Band, KMET stickers, free beer, amazing bus ride, and beautiful people!! Thank you!!!!!“

“The food was great and tasted delicious 😋“

“My wife and I celebrated our 35th anniversary here last night. The entire experience was amazing. The peking duck caritas were outstanding. The service was excellent and it was the best mexican food we have ever had hands down! Recommend the Corn Husk Meringue for dessert. Also had a fantastic mezcal margarita (X2). Will definitely visit again. Price was $$$ but we felt it was worth it.“

“Amazing food and service!“

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

“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food good portions and great drinks it was great from start to finish Ava was attended and friendly nothing but good vibes would definitely come back again.“

“This was my first time trying this place out I was unsure of what to get everything looked good.Our sever Esteban was very friendly and he even gave us some recommendations we had the Arabic tacos and brisket tacos .For drinks we had tamarind margarita,Dusk in Oaxaca.Overall good service staff is supper nice I would recommend thank you estaban for your hospitality.“

“I always enjoy stopping by for happy! The food and drinks never disappoint!! We had the steak, Al Pastor and shrimp tacos. We also had the paloma and classic margaritas. Everything was delicious. We also ordered their chicken taquitos, a must!“

“Abbiamo cenato da Rosie's in NY ieri sera! una bella atmosfera, locale molto curato e pulito, ottimi piatti tipici di cucina messicana! ottimi margarita! personale gentile e cordiale, sono stati molto attenti alle allergie alimentari dei nostri commensali! nonostante la distanza da casa ci hanno fatto sentire a casa, consigliato vivamente! un grande grande grazie a tutti e alla titolare!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of NYC. I go about once a month before or after catching a movie at the Regal Essex, which is just two blocks away. The food and drinks are great, the the food is terrific, the prices are totally fair, and the staff are all super friendly. It's also easy to reserve a table, so please ignore this great review because it needs to stay a hidden gem!“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“
