50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Kew Gardens

“This place is definitely a sleeper. When you’re hungry Tex mex food just hits different. I won’t lie, they don’t do the best wrap jobs on the burritos and the meat be dry sometimes, but honestly the flavoring is good. The price is okay, they be wanting almost 4 dollars for a taco.“

“I just had the best lunch here. Very nice dining area, friendly service and very authentic Mexican food. My tacos were so so good. However you HAVE to have their Tres Leches cake. I am not really the biggest fan of that dessert but I had an urge to try it because it was presented so nicely. It's 10/10 the best tres leches I've ever had.

Great job!“

“Amazing food and service. 1000% recommend.“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“💥💥💥💥💥 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!“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“It was a surprise to find this little restaurant in Harlem. There were no tables, and we took the last two seats at the bar. While we waited, I surprisingly felt at home. The aroma of the food, the care with which Karina prepared each of the dishes, and the kindness and joy they served us. By the time our table was ready, we didn't want to take it anymore; we ate much more than we planned to order because we didn't want to miss out on their delicious food. I have dietary restrictions, and I was surprised to see that everything from the exquisite tortillas to the delicious tres leches dessert was prepared right there, gluten-free and preservative-free. I hope to return soon.“

“Saludo banda estoy aquí Las chilangas les recomiendo que la quesadilla 🌮están súper delicioso vengan ah pasar con sus familia y el servicio es espectacular.“

“great wait staff.. even better food“

“I really enjoyed this restaurant! It was my first time eating there and my friend and I loved our meals. The tortilla chips were fresh and came with multiple types of salsa, all of which were delicious. That was a nice surprise! We both got chilaquiles off the brunch menu and they were amazing. The service was fantastic as well and the vibe inside was great. I would highly recommend Mayahuel!“

“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. 😋“

“great tasting food also good service and environment“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

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

“Riley and Elizabeth did a great job helping us understand the scope of the menu and what we could enjoy based of our dietary restrictions. I can tell the restaurant is well managed and the servers/bar keep that same beat. This is a can’t miss spor“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love love love when I leave a restaurant and think… wow I was truly taken care of. But it’s not often I feel obligated to write a review. Start to finish, Lily was attentive, warm, knowledgeable of the menu and sincere. I can’t wait to come back.“

“I had a great experience here! The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly, attentive. The food was great too, but the outstanding service is what really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place!“

“Found this place online. We ordered chilaquiles con salsa verde , French toast & iced cafe de olla. The place gives a Mexican home style atmosphere. It’s a small space & got busy after 11:30am on a Saturday. We got seated quickly. The chilaquiles were shareable and had a mild spicy. The French Toast was MASSIVE and shareable. The crust was slightly too toasted making it a bit difficult to cut through. The arrangement of fruit was nice tho. They added mango which was a nice touch. The cafe con olla does well iced and definitely has the olla taste. Highly recommend the chilaquiles con steak y salsa verde. The staff were very friendly.“

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

“Nice cozy neighborhood spot good for drinks and appetizers and food great ambiance“

“The food was great and tasted delicious 😋“

“I love this place and am sure to take my friends here whenever they visit. The tacos are probably the best in New York. Very authentic Mexican. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and the colors are beautiful.“

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

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

“Fabulous food, drinks and service!“

“I would just like to say that I googled this restaurant. It was the first one we went for my husbands birthday. It was the best of FOOD was amazing. The Service was ex espectacular. Lorena was on top of everything. She was a great server, friendly, fun, very attentive, and we will definitely be going back. They also we celebrate my husbands birthday there with a sombrero . I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone. It’s out of this world. They go above and beyond to make you celebrate your birthday and have a great time. I want to send a shout out to the staff to the owner. Thank you for making this day. Very special for my husband. I thank you so much. Lopez.“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious!“

“I recently discovered this place, and let me tell you—wow! Literally sooooo yummy! The food is fresh and so flavorful, I literally had to call to let them know how good the food was!😭 The churros—soooo fresh and tasty, as well as the teriyaki burrito. 10/10 for me, no exaggeration!“

“A Great Cocktail Bar

This is the kind of cocktail bar that gets it right. It has creative, well-crafted drinks and an owner who genuinely loves sharing his cocktail knowledge and expertise. More importantly, it feels like a true neighborhood spot: welcoming to regulars, newcomers, and everyone in between. It’s about celebrating and catering to the community, not gentrifying it. Great drinks, great hospitality, and a place where everyone feels welcome.“

“The loaded fries are amazing reminds me of my home town California has some of the best Mexican foods and this make me feel so close to home foreal… I think I order these at least twice a week eventually I’m going try something else because I know it’s good well I have tried their churros and those was really good“

“My favorite place. I love to go there everyday.“

“Carlos, I believe his name was, he was amazing and kept the food and drinks coming!! I’ve been to a lot of different places where they offer bottomless every thing but, this is DEFINITELY the best place to go! Ask for, Carlos.. (I came up for a wedding and a birthday and I ended up have the best time ever)“

“I came across the El Tio Tamale cart on my way to a workout class in the neighborhood, and I’m so glad I stopped! Every tamale I’ve tried has been delicious, but my favorites are the red sauce tamale and the chicken mole. What makes this place even more special is the passion behind it. He told me that he and his family wake up at 3a.m. every day to make the tamales fresh, and you can truly taste the care and effort in every bite.

He’s also incredibly kind and welcoming. One day I was $2 short, and he simply smiled and said, “It’s okay, I’m here every day. Just give it to me next time.” 🥺 That level of kindness really stuck with me.

If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Highly recommend!!!“

“I was starving and near by and a burrito i knew would cure what ails me.

Got the birria burrito, thing was huge, came with consume and was amazing. Felt like it was made with love. Chips and a coke and I don't need to eat got the rest of the day.

10 out of 10, would totally stop by here again. Not even just because I am starving.“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“Esse Taco keeps things simple, and it works. I tried the chicken taco — juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a fresh tortilla that held everything together nicely. The flavors were balanced without being overcomplicated, letting the quality of the ingredients stand out.
The space is small and casual with mostly standing tables, but service is quick and the focus is clearly on the food. A solid spot if you’re looking for a straightforward, well-executed taco.“

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

“Great food and hospitality! Definitely try a Gringa Quesadilla and the Esquites!!!“

“I don't have enough good things to say about this place. I've been coming since they opened. They have a wonderful menu with a new age mexican feel. Food is excellent, as are the drinks, but what truly sets this place apart is it's wonderful staff. They are all kind, courteous and thoughtful. Soledad has a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere and I will continue to recommend it to anyone interested.“

“We came for Sunday brunch with family & friends March 8th. The renovations have taken the space UP several notches. And the food is better than ever. The Mexican vanilla latte sublime.“

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“
