50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Island Park

“Insanely good food. I usually get the birria and pastor tacos - the birria is so rich and beefy with a delicious consomme sauce, and the pastor is sweet and flavorful. You get so many sauces with each order and they're all amazing and the prices are really reasonable. The quesadillas are great, too. The tacos are loaded - no skimping. Margarita's is wonderful!“

“The place is very well put together. the food was very good and the service was great. we stopped in for a quick drink and stayed over an hour and had lunch.“

“Very delicious food. I work in East New York, and I saw many truck drivers, workers stopping at lunchtime. I went to the restaurant, the vibe is so cool, and the tacos I ordered had different and good flavors. Fresh food, tasty, and good customer service.“

“Enjoyed brunch today w/ my daughter we both enjoyed everything!!! Definitely going back the horchata was AMAZING!! So was the service !“

“Would highly recommend coming to try the Happy Hour menu and Taco Tuesday tacos/margaritas and sit outside to enjoy the beautiful view of the water. There was a bit of miscommunication about the Happy Hour specials on Fridays (no longer available on Fridays but are on other weekdays), as others have mentioned, but Wilmer was responsive over email and generously resolved the issue, which we appreciated. The outdoor bartender Matt, was friendly, kind, and super helpful - he made the visit 5 stars for us. Raw Oysters and the shrimp taco were both good. The birria taco (sauce quite spicy), ribeye taco, and corn ribs were excellent. Chips and salsa were great too. The menu has a lot of creative options and we look forward to trying more items.

“Guac Time Mexican Grill provides an excellent modern twist on classic Mexican fast-food staples with a completely halal menu. The build-your-own bowls and burritos are packed with fresh ingredients, crisp toppings, and very generous portions of meat. The guacamole is remarkably smooth and flavorful, making it a highly recommended addition to whatever you order. The store layout is clean, bright, and casual, offering a highly satisfying option for a quick and wholesome dinner.“

“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.“

“❤ My husband and I love Curbside in South Hempstead. Their crunchwraps are big enough to share. Our favorite is the Cowboy Crunchwrap with extra sauteed onions. I could eat only this for the rest of my life, provided, of course, we have sour cream!“

I MEAN IT!!! The drinks too are the bomb and they don’t skimp out on the feel good drinks if you know what i mean. Carlos is usually our waiter when we come and he makes sure to take care of us! LOVE THIS PLACE“

“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.“

“I often order chicken steak and shrimp nachos to get all proteins and it's pretty delicious to me. But they can get soggy fast if you don't eat it fast enough. Their tacos are surprisingly low key good especially birria beef tacos and crispy chicken tacos. I would say the overall price is medium or a bit higher but worth it.

Also been a regular at this restaurant for years and pretty hyped that they came up with new things including sushi tacos like (shrimp tempura sushi taco, coco-pastor chicken sushi taco)

Took a pic so you can see what those unusual foods look like“

“The best Mexican food in Long Island Definitivamente 100% recomendado la mejor comida mexicana en la isla“

“Mesita hosted my wedding yesterday. The staff were incredibly helpful from start to finish. And the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! 10/10 recommend!“

“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+“

“Buena comida las muchachas muy atentas se los recomiendo“

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

“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“

“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 !!!! 😋“

“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.“

“Todo lo que se vende en tacos mi Poblanita es muy delicioso no se detenga haga su orden 516 750 5066 y recoger al 706 Jerusalém ave en Uniondale no se harrepentira de comer de todo lo que pida“

“La comida muy buena y el servicio“

“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.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“My wife and I enjoyed Cinco de Mayo with dinner at Margaritas Cafe in Merrick. First, our server was one of the best we seen. Patient, not pushy and doing almost every job in a restaurant all with a smile on her face!!
Our shrimp fahita's were delicious with large tasty shrimp! The Margaritas were 2 for 1 and priced very reasonably. We'll definitely be back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Their tacos are delicious, the tortillas seem to be made by themselves, they are very kind to their customers, their desserts are also delicious and there are also a lot of Mexican products and some handicrafts such as their coffee cups, I loved it.“

“I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the outdoor seating option. It’s spacious and clean and the servers were friendly. 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!“

“This is the only Moe’s I frequent, the ladies will remember your face! I have never left disappointed and everything I order always comes fresh and well portioned. Esmeralda and the other ladies are super attentive and kind! Whenever I’m craving Moe’s, this is the spot I’ll take the trip to go to.“
