50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Medford

“Simply the best taco spot in the area for true street-style tacos. I used to drive all the way to Queens to get tacos like these, and now I’ve found this gem just 2 minutes from home.

I ordered the birria tacos and they were absolutely amazing. The meat quality was excellent and the portions were very generous. The birria consommé was perfectly seasoned and came with a grilled jalapeño that added the perfect touch. The tacos also came with fries, and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food.

I also tried the chorizo tostadas, and once again the portion size and flavor were incredible. The condiments were fresh and well balanced, and those came with fries too. There was so much food that it was easily enough for two people.

I can’t wait to go back and try more items from the menu. If you’re looking for authentic, delicious street-style tacos, this is the spot.“

Rickie the general manager was absolutely the highlight of my visit! Excellent people skills, attention to details and checking up on my as I wait for the food was the best service I’ve received than any fancy place I’ve been to! If you haven’t given him a raise yet definitely do!
He was also training new staff members while taking care of multiple customers.
I’d come back just to have a good laugh with him!“

I will definitely be coming back more often. Love everything about this restaurant!“

“I'm usually here once a week. The food is perfect every time ( No exaggeration, 50 visits, 50 times getting exactly what I asked for) I've tried everything on the menu and they're all good. **If you're ordering fries be prepared, it's usually and extra 3 or 4 minutes because they make them to order**. If I had to have one suggestion it would be more diet/zero sugar drinks, but that's because of MY preferences. Do not miss out on this place.“

“Deliciosa comida , sabor y fresco“

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“Delicious, always enough to eat! Fast delivery!“

“We come here often for lunch. The buffalo and Vanessa burritos are our favs plus the quesadillas are the best around and huge. This review is specifically about catering order I placed over the weekend. We made a very last minute order for a taco party pack and Avocados went out of their way to accommodate. The food was great and large portions as always.“

“I have lived in Patchogue for 25 years. I remember when there was no Mexican Food in Patchogue at all! Lindo Mexico is a *special* place. There's fancier, there's more festive... but Lindo Mexico is *special*. If you want off-the-charts deliciousness that is authentic, go to Lindo Mexico. Proud to have this restaurant in my village. It is an authentic Mexican Food experience that will make you feel like you are there: in Mexico. That is the highest compliment I can think of. Thanks, Lindo Mexico!“

“I've come here a few times . Every time the food is great . I've had huaraches , chicken tacos , baleadas , papusas , rice and beans , and avocado salad . The owner speaks English so it's easy to communicate what I want and he's friendly. The prices are good too ! I eat at a lot of latin food places to compare .“

“Fun night. Great drinks. Fab food“

“A bunch of us went after work to celebrate a couple of birthdays… food and drinks were amazing!! Portion sizes … well let’s just say… I will eat for 2-3 days!! We had a great time service was also great!“

“On busy nights when we want something quick, healthy, and satisfying, the CrossFit menu is a standout—chicken and shrimp always cooked to perfection, and the salsa and guacamole are always fresh and flavorful. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is just as reliable. Oscar, the owner, is exceptional—always attentive, efficient, kind, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience for every customer. We’re grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood!“

“Absolutely love señor taco! My husband and I order here often a good 4/5 times a month. Food is fresh, their salsa verde (green sauce) is made fresh daily and when we order we always ask for an extra big container of it. From their chips to their burritos 🌯 everything on the menu is worth trying it’s that’s good.“

“Me encantan las quesadillas mexicanas de hongos con queso!!!! Super rico todo!“

“Absolutely amazing food. Wonderful service. I go there often I highly recommend it“

“My Dominican wife and I have tried almost every Hispanic restaurant on Long Island. We love authentic Mexican, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Colombian, Dominican, Puerto Rican, all types of real Hispanic food. The food from this place is absolutely unbelievable. The el pastor taco was enough to make me close my eyes and block out the world. It was by far the most amazing taco I’ve ever had in my life. The octopus was also out of this world. The flavor and portions are unmatchable. I can’t say enough about how good this food is. You would never know it, hidden in this location. I swear on everything I almost got emotional eating this taco.“

“Came to write my review so fast. Chicken tacos were delicious. I got them doordashed and they were still so hot, double wrapped with a soft corn shell so they didn’t get soggy, and then individually wrapped in tin foil. I appreciate this level of care because tacos can get messy. The chicken was tender and juicy and the flavors were on point, and the tacos were filled well for the price! Highly recommend“

“I went there with my Latin friend she's Amazing ? and the people in there my Latin brother's made me feel so much at home ❤️ Even showed me some dance moves as well. I was the only black person I'm there but they welcomed me with open arm's, even met two cool men who we're coming from out of state at the bar, paid for our drinks, also another brother did the same ??? I definitely want to go back!!!!“

“I did Texas Taco in Sayville and jad their food truck the summer prior to COVID hit and it was great! They pulled right up to house for a few hours, you can pick from different plan options and prices. If I remember correctly I think I picked an option that had up to 40 people even though I had 30 to be safe incase anyone else extra stopped by. We picked out some menu items with the owner ahead of time to be served. We set a time slot( thenowner came with truck like an hour early to prep food and get ready ahead if my start time and each guest was able to go back and forth to the truck as many times as they wanted within the few hours the truck was hired to be here. Great service( the owner and one other guy worked the truck the whole time they were here) everything made to order fresh and very good. Nothing but compliments from all my guests that day. I tipped at end and even tho I did a final tip some guests were so impressed a few threw them a few bucks during one of their many trips to the truck in my driveway that day too, even though i said I tipped they were so satisfied they wanted to top a few dollars too. It was deeelish!“

“Last weekend we decided to have Moe's cater a gathering we were having. I wasn't sure what to expect. But I have to say I was very surprised. Everything was ready on time (and this was a big deal), the manager, Amanda was super nice and easy to deal with, and most importantly...The food was excellent. I can also say many people at the party commented that they enjoyed the food as well. I will absolutely use them again. Great job!“

“Food is SOOO good! They are making a lot of positive changes. This is definitely my new go-to spot for food. I also don’t see any drunk people or fights at this place and I’ve been here more than a few times. I always tell people about this place every chance I get! I’m obsessed with the steak tacos😍“

“THIS PLACE WENT FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST GEMS TO A PLACE THAT FEELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO EVEN SET A FOOT IN. I'VE BEEN TO THIS PLACE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, SINCE PANDEMIC HAVE NOT GONE. WE FINALLY WENT, THE MINUTE I WALKED IN THE PERSON AT CASHIER SAID WHEN YOUR READY TO ORDER YOU COME HERE, BLINDED BY IT AS IS A RESTAURANT NOT A FAST FOOD SPOT I LOOKED AT HER AND ASK FOR THE MENU SHE LOOKS AT ME AND POINTS INFRONT OF HER TO GO GET IT MIND YOU, THERE ARE 3 OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO WORK THERE .....I LET IT PASS AND TRIED TO GIVE THIS PLACE A SECOND CHANCE COMING BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK AS THE FOOD ACTUALLY WAS GOOD THE WEEK PRIOR. WELL SERVICE WAS ONLY WORSE THIS TIME AROUND, THE WOMAN AT CASHIER LOOKED BOTHER BY JUST BEING THERE TAKING OUR ORDER AS THE TIME PRIOR OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO ALSO WORKED THERE STANDING JUST THERE. WE GET OUR FOOD REALIZING I GOT CORN TORTILLAS ASKED IF THEY CAN BE SWITCHED TO FLOURONE OF THE EMPLOYEES RESPONSE WELL IF YOU DON'T EAT THEM THERE GOING TO THE TRASH AND I AM LOOKING AT HER LIKE OKAY IS FINE CAN I PAY FOR AN EXTRA ORDER OF TORTILLAS OF FLOUR. THE AMOUNT OF DISPLEASSURE THESE WOMAN HAVE BEING THEIR IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SERVED, ASIDE FROM THE FOOD FEELING SO RUSH THIS TIME AROUND AS WE GOT THERE AT 8 THEY CLOSED AT 10PM. I UNDERSTAND RESTAUTANT INDUSTRY IS NOT EASY BUT FOR ME TO GO TO AND SPEND MY MONEY IN A PLACE THAT FEELS SO FORCED TO WORK IS NOT WORTH MY TIME NOR MONEY.“

“Shout out to Avocado’s of Bayport! I placed a very last minute catering order which they delivered within 1 1/2 hours! The food was delicious and their party package is a good deal. Thank you Nelson for accommodating us and for a crowd pleasing lunch. We will definitely be ordering from you again.“
