50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Island Park

“Oh my god. SO good. We had some trouble finding them at first - a true hidden gem. A+ takeout spot, no notes. No frills, there is seating but it’s a casual deli.
Blows any other taco joint I’ve tried nearby straight out of the water. We’ll never go anywhere else now!!
We are so happy to have found this place. LEGIT food 👌🤤“

“I finally came here to try the famous crispy tacos, and my first bite was literally, “Whoa!” They were crispy, fresh, and so delicious. I also ordered a chicken bowl, which was very tasty with a generous portion.

I’ll definitely be back to try more items. I honestly don’t understand why the rating isn’t higher. Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, great food—a true hidden gem!“

“Excellent quality, excellent service, guac is not extra!

They treat you with respect and dignity. When you order triple chicken, they give you triple. They do not scrimp.

This is the only Mexican chain restaurant that I will go to. The other one's portions are disrespectfully small.

QDoba gets an A+“

“One thing I miss about living in Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap location, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while.

After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected.

However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper.“

“Buena comida las muchachas muy atentas se los recomiendo“

“Best Delivery Food Around! Food is always hot, delivery is extremely quick, people are great and the food is the BEST!!!!“

“The staff are wonderful...the food is great...and the drinks are insane....especially the Corona-Ritas! A little hidden gem in East Rockaway. Fun hangout on a Summer day for sitting outside and enjoying adult beverages.“

“Food was really good, the family pack had plenty of food for everyone. The prices are excellent“

“Honestly, the food here is great. My go to is Honey Chipotle Chicken. Every bite is enjoyable, the portion sizes are large (and cost effective) and the staff are all great to their customers. The small talk doesn't feel forced either.

There's no eating in anymore but honestly it's good that way and I'm all for the business interests so they can keep things running smoothly and I can keep coming back for years to come.“

“Our family hosted a luncheon for approx 25 people at Cabo in the atrium space at the rear of the restaurant. Angelo and his team were outstanding! The quality and diverse selection of the food was second to none! Not only were our meat eaters satisfied, but so were our vegan and gluten free guests. Angelo and his staff were so attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend Cabo for anyone looking for a private party space but also for that nice dinner with friends. Great atmosphere and value. Well done Cabo!!“

“First time there and the food and the staff were great. Bear tacos and the margaritas were excellent. Definitely will be back.“

“The food and staff are amazing, they are friendly and the food is authentic and delicious. Definitely try out their tortas and steak tacos. The Horchata is a must have. My only issue is that there was a smell of sewage that may have been coming from a busted pipe close their a/c unit. Once they fix that, I’ll visit again.“

“I love coming here. Great juices! Love it very much! ImThey have passion fruit juice, pineapple juice, coconut juice, horchata, and cantaloupe/melon juice etc.! 💕 It is delicious! My friend orders the Mexican hotdog and loves it. It comes with ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, onions, tomatoes. He said it is very good! My other friend orders the “ Tacos dorados” with chicken and they come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and sour cream on top. My friend says these are very good too. Maybe could use more flavor he says but still they are very good! Photos are attached! They have a good Mexican steak torta which is a steak sandwich that comes with Mexican cheese, beans, guacamole, a sauce, lettuce, tomato, it is very good and I like it!!! The yellow lemonade in the photos with the steak torta is not from them. I also love their brown juice which is “tamarindo / tamarind” !!! Their other juices are very good as well !!!! 😋“

I especially enjoyed the immaculate service provided by the supervisor, Andrew. He was so accommodating, so patient with my friend and I and he was kind enough to give us a dessert on him. Thank you for your wonderful service Andrew!“
