New Mexican Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“Eggstravagenza is such a great food truck spot outside QBK Sports! We always stop by after volleyball drop-ins, and it never disappoints. The wraps—especially the avocado and California wraps hit the spot. Perfect post-game food. Simple, quick, and really good. Definitely a go-to if you’re in the area!“

“I went here and ordered nachos which consisted of homemade tortilla chips, melted with cheese, in a bed of black beans puree, topped with crema, guacamole and pico de gallo (and shrimps=one of the options to choose from) and I really loved it. I am back in the Netherlands after a visit to New York and still thinking about it. Thank you so much for this lovely culinary experience.“

“Taqueria on 10th was honestly an incredible dining experience! The food was absolutely amazing, authentic, flavorful, and you could immediately tell that the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. We ordered the carnitas tacos, steak tacos, nachos, elote, and churros, and everything was delicious. The tacos were packed with flavor, the nachos were loaded and perfectly balanced, and the churros were the perfect way to finish the meal.

The margaritas were INSANE and definitely some of the best we’ve had in NYC. A huge shoutout to Cesar, our bartender, for making such amazing drinks!

But what really made our experience stand out was the service. Louis, our server, was phenomenal—so attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely made us feel so welcomed throughout the entire meal. Excellent service can make such a difference, and Louis truly went above and beyond.

Between the incredible food, amazing margaritas, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service, Taqueria on 10th is absolutely worth visiting if you’re in Hudson Yards. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Solid breakfast burritos and great tortillas, which are like gold here. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet, but it’s just a matter of time - the salads look awesome. I moved here from Texas a year ago and love everything about the city (except for the rent), but I do miss Tex Mex and good tortillas. New Mexican is its own cuisine and sure hits the spot while also being healthier, and those tortillas are a game changer. So glad to have found this place, just had breakfast from here, and am already looking forward to going back.“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“Ricos los tacos ,,100 %recomendado el lugar para pasar en familia“

“This was the best Mexican meal I've ever had outside of Mexico City itself. Note that the food here is based on the cuisines of two Mexican states in the southern and central western parts of Mexico: Oaxaca and Jalisco. Two friends, my wife, and I really loved the tuna tostados, truffle esquites (street corn), arrachera, veggie tacos, and churros that were all part of the Power Lunch menu. We also enjoyed their Sangria and Gringo drinks. Our server, Sharon, was very frinedly and knew the menu well. My only minor nit was that she asked us how our appetizers were before we had even touched them. I highly recommend Kahlo to people who like flavorful food and would like to try a different kind of Mexican food.“

“The owner was so fun and kind, playing the best music and dancing with us. It was my friends birthday, so it was a perfect place to celebrate. Drinks were good and strong, food was delicious and hit the spot. We were nicely taken care of and there’s a cute photo area in the back. I had an absolute blast!“

“An excellent family run place. We had the horchata, burrito and the birria tacos deal and they were all excellent. Would highly recommend giving this place a go. There are a few seats for eating inside and out. The family who run it were lovely and very friednly. There were lots of people getting pick up too so you can order online.“

“Mi amigos! This place is awesome. Went to La Contenta first but they were packed but luckily Vallarta had some spots at the bar and everything was incredible.

Tacos pescado and Tacos carne asada! Woo. I preferred the carne asada but both made me feel like I was back in mexico. All the micheladas and cocktails we had were incredible. The happy hour too is off the chain. Great prices and great service.

I can’t wait to go back and try more. The nachos were also muy rico.

Gracias Vallarta! They also take blackbird (IYKYK and if you don’t know, ask me and i’ll get you a free promo :))“

“Es un súper lugar y la atención increíble. 😊“

“Lady Black Flower And Popcorn 🤘🏾The Service Was Amazing 🤩“

“So so good! The service was great, they are super friendly! We had two quesadillas (carnitas and steak) the Esquite and 2 margaritas (coconut and blood orange) 🔥 🔥 . Everything was delicious and affordable. No complaints! Must go!!“

“Low key spot for authentic Mexican food! I got 2 tacos, horchata and flan. Tacos & horchata were very good. Flan was a bit weird the texture but overall great spot. Only reason why I’m giving it 4 stars is because my boyfriend got a quesadilla and he doesn’t eat sour cream but it didn’t say that there would be sour cream on it, on the menu. I would come back tho! Just make sure you ask what each item comes with if you’re allergic/can’t eat certain things“

“We were in town for a wedding, and this was the place where they hosted a pre-wedding celebration. The atmosphere was exciting, and regardless of the large crowd, the servers did an amazing job. Everyone had such an amazing and memorable time.“

“I have been looking for great tacos and happy hour drinks in this neighborhood for a while, and this is the spot! Sit at the bar, order the Tacos del Dia (you can order a combo of different ones) and enjoy. Such an obvious pleasure that few places get right anymore.“

“Wow. Everything really exceeded expectations. Their fish and shrimp tacos were delicious. Their fish of the day was amazing. But I can't stop thinking about their Chicken Adobado. It's one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. I would probably get it again and again with each visit and try other dishes as well.“

“I'm an NYU student who just tried this truck for the first time. This is some of the best tacos I've had in NYC! I will definitely be coming back. Any NYU student should check this spot out for a quick, affordable, and yummy lunch!“

“Great food! we go every time we are in the city.“

“Excellent service and food“

“This spot is similar to Chipotle in terms of cuisine and concept. You can pick a bowl, burrito, or tacos and add whatever fixings you want. I got the Pollo Asado Bowl and added tater tots to try. Everything else was pretty standard - white rice, beans, chicken, salsa, etc. I like their sauce options to top off the bowl. I believe I got a Cilantro one in addition to sour cream. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the beans and tater tots in my bowl! Would def add again next time I visit.

Very spacious interior with a restroom for customers. Staff is great! Only downside is that their establishment door is HEAVY, so push/pull hard!“

“From the moment you walk in you feel welcome here. It was our first time in and they gave us complimentary nachos to start. We ordered the veggie tacos, jerk pork tacos, and corn, everything was fresh and delicious. We are going back again tonight.“

“This bar/restaurant is the best. Great drinks. Great food. Great people!! Do not miss Lime & Salt!!“

“I have had ALL of their tacos over the years, and I mainly recommend the birria and carnitas, also the mushroom & cheese for vegetarians. Their prices are great and the tacos I mentioned are delicious. I also tried their colada for the first time and it was amazing and extra strong. Shout out to Jacqueline for going above & beyond to make sure our orders are great.“

“Order one of everything and have a tamale fest. everything is delicious.“

“First time at Armandos and I really enjoyed their tortas and homemade horchata. Crunchy soft bread, good size and fresh. The lettuce was chopped which made it fall out but thats no issue- it left me feeling full and I got the tiramisu. Good balance on it and hit the spot for desert. Definitely coming back and especially to hear Andrea sing. There's good singers during karaoke but im not one of them lol“

“Delicious as always!! Highly recommended“

“Very nice Mom & Pop place to enjoy some real authentic food. At the time when I went there, They was only accepting Cash and Zelle, Zelle was the easy option for me to pay, the staff was very nice and helped me out with some of the food I was not to familiar with. The place is small but in a great spot for the neighborhood on the corner, This place has an ATM and seating inside with a TV to watch whatever is playing while you eat. I been back twice and I had the crispy taco bowl with steak and one with shrimp and the Birria tacos 🌮 very good“

“the food was great and delicious..people is very professional..the place comfortable“

“(Translated by Google) Delicious food. Excellent attention. I live near this place and have been lucky enough to visit it a couple of times. From the first time I went, my impression was excellent, they have an extensive menu with Mexican food, in addition to preparing exquisite natural Mexican juices, they gave us a try so we could decide which one to choose. The food is very well prepared, fresh. The environment is very nice with Mexican decorations and clean. I recommend you try.(Original)Deliciosa comida. Excelente atención. Vivo cerca de este lugar y he tenido la suerte de visitarlo un par de veces. Desde la primera vez que fui mi impresión fue excelente, ellos tienen un extenso menú con comida mexicana, además de preparar jugos naturales mexicanos exquisitos, ellos nos dieron de probar para poder decidir cuál elegir. La comida muy bien preparada, fresca. El entorno muy agradable con adornos mexicanos y limpio. Les recomiendo probar.“

“Great comfortable spot! Friendly staff. Delicious snacks!“

“Had a pretty decent meal at the Ivy Stark. A little cramped, but to be expected in this venue. The mahi taco bowl and the quesadillas were very good. It is a little pricey here, but this is in a touristy area by the Brooklyn Bridge Park, so no real surprise“

“Food and drinks were great!!!!“
