50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Nyack

“Umm I come about once a week now. One of the employees almost knows my order on site. LOL does that mean I go too often? The food is soo good & the service is spectacular. My only issue is deciding which day of the week I'm going to go. Give them a try I promise you'll love them.“

“This place checks all the boxes for an authentic, family run, home-cooked experience. The menu is a mishmash of printed page and handwriting, the staff and clientele are nearly all Spanish speaking, it is spotless for dirt and there is Mexican football on the telly. The food is good. It's not fancy, and that should keep the snobs away, but it has the essential combination of scent, visuals, taste and the inner warmth a cook who loves a dish can make. You can do the El Typico half chicken, tacos which my sons say are rocking, steak platters in all their various combinations, and these wee Jammie cake style pupusa things. A novelty for me, very popular in Latin America apparently, they are enclosed buckwheat pancakes with a choice of fillings. Some of which you've never heard of, so try them. This is grass roots cooking, and I am a fan. In a low sodium World, the tropical propensity for salt is punkette, the spice combinations are unfamiliar but pleasing. Part of the meal I ate was a little dry, but that's what the excellent salsa is for, and everyone at the table is coming back. There is no booze, which is a good thing in working mens establishments playing football, and the while the drinks selection is authentic it is limited. Expect to pay fifteen bucks a head per adult, leaving plenty of opportunity for a jumbo tip. Don't go if you are stuck up.“

“Just finished dinner here. It was beyond delicious. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. The food was fresh and the portions were huge! It was hard to decide on what to order because the whole menu was amazing. We will definitely be coming back!“

“I have been looking for a mexican restaurant since I moved to Rockland and I have found it. The food was delicious and drinks were amazing. I can't wait to go again and try another dish. Bartender was super friendly and made our drinks fast and delicious. See you soon Pancho Villa Taqueria y Cantina aka my new favorite place.“

“We came here for an early lunch. It was just us (4 people) and another table of two. The waiter was really nice and quick with our drinks. We all enjoyed our food. Although it’s somewhat dim in there, I could still see lots of dust on the decor.“

“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. We had the tacos, regular bowl with carnitas and fajita bowl with steak and pina-mango drink. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Will come back to try El Pastor. Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.“

“This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant at this moment. The food is delicious, even our toddlers devour the food I love the steak quesadillas!The drinks are also top notch. The beat Frozen Passion Fruit Margarita, hands down!You don't want to miss this place! They will treat you like family!“

“Really an excellent place! I highly recommend you go here! Diego and his family were really welcoming. It's a family run business, and you can tell - the food's great! You can find parking easily on the street. The flavors were excellent, especially the home made sauces. Everything was good! There's seating inside, too.“

“Finally a really delicious taco place in the area. The service was great, the lady at the register was so nice, friendly and helpful. We ordered to take home, had planned on eating inside but there was no heat inside. My wife had Birria Tacos and a Quesabarria, she really enjoyed them both, especially the Tacos. I had the crunchy Taco and Quesadillas, both were very good. The crunchy Taco was so good, this place really knows how to make Tacos. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend trying. Also ordered churros, but didn't try yet.“

“Visiting family in Westchester from Los Angeles - Molcajete definitely passed the bar. The shrimp was big, juicy and fresh, the steak (we got the Molcajete, so it came with everything) was a nice cut and well cooked. Salsas were all super tasty and the guac was legit. Only slight LA pickiness is that it was missing the nopal.“

“Taco Taxi has undoubtedly earned its reputation for serving the best tacos in the world, delivering a culinary experience that transcends expectations. From the moment you take the first bite, you're transported into a world of explosive flavors and authentic Mexican craftsmanship. The tortillas are soft and pillowy, the meats are succulent and perfectly seasoned, and the toppings are a symphony of freshness and zest.

It's not just a meal; it's a journey into taco perfection that sets Taco Taxi apart as a true gem in the world of culinary delights.“

“A very pleasant surprise. First time we went for dinner, it was an experiment. Very happy with the food and service. They gave us a free appetizer and desert. The food was amazing and a great selection with reasonable prices. The drinks were excellent. This is how a restaurant should be. The owner makes sure everyone is properly taken care of and makes you feel welcomed. We came back a week later for more. Highly recommended.“

“So good; priced right. I've never eaten in the restaurant itself but I've ordered and the food is always good. The food is delicious. The service is great! Go now get good Mexican food that's for once not overpriced! Have the burrito they rock!“

“We came here based on the reviews after an appointment and upper Westchester. This is actually after our second visit.We actually sat in the lounge area by the bar, where it was happy hour and enjoy the music, the energy of the surrounding people and of course the food is excellent. The fusion of Latin and modern cuisines is so ingenious their drinks are phenomenal. This is definitely one of our go to spots when we want to have a blend of delicious fusion and healthy mix together .“

“Stopped here on a lazy Saturday evening still looking for really good Mexican food. Everything we had was excellent. Tacos, guac, horchata and pambazo which I had never had before. I wish the restaurant was closer to home. Service was good but we were the only ones in the spot. Would definitely return again.“

“After a miscommunication with our reservation time for 15 of us, Eliseo went out of his way to accommodate us as best he could. Dinner was wonderful, everything everyone ordered was delicious. I had the Korean tacos and they were so good. They also make the guac right in front of the table and was delicious, you get to choose if you want spicy or not. Highly recommend this place if you want to indulge in some Mexican food with a Mariachi band that takes requests on a Friday night. Our server Jay was a delight and he was extremely attentive to our every need. The decorations were beautiful! I loved it here and will be coming back soon!“

“This is above average Mexican food. Not only is the quality and taste a cut above, but the menu has the standard fare plus a bunch of authentic Mexican dishes. The night we were there a tequila company was sponsoring margarita samples in various flavors, so we got about 7 (small, free drinks) - icing on the cake!“

“2/7/2024I have never been to a Bubbakoo's location, so my friend and I did not know what to expect. Walking in, the space felt very welcoming, and were greeted by smiles by the staff! I decided to get the Mango Habanero Salad with the hard shell base. It was love at first bite.. the salad had the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and the juices from the meat were very savory. My friend got a quesadilla with chicken; she is sensitive to spice.. and the staff were very understanding and avoided adding any spice. I took a bite of her quesadilla and I loved it!I regret not asking for their names, but the man with the arm tattoos went above and beyond with his customer service! He even gave us a free dessert- and that was also very delicious!As you may note, I have never written a review.. that is how amazed we are by the service this location has given to us. Bubbakoo's has gained two VERY LOYAL customers to their New City location.. and I hope everyone gets to try the very delicious TRULY Mexican Fusion and meet the very friendly staff! THANK YOU!!!!“

“Really amazing food, nice kids menu. Food was amazing. They give really good nachos and salsa. Informal but great service, incredible food and affordable. Tastes like genuine Mexican cuisine. Highly recommended!Kid-friendliness: Went with my son, had a great affordable kids menu with big delicious portions.“

“You'll leave this place struggling to walk, they give big portions! Also, this is AUTHENTIC Mexican food. We've done lots of traveling and that's something hard to come by away from home (California). The woman who served us was helpful and made sure we had all we needed. This place is on the smaller side but there's some tables where we can sit down and enjoy your food fresh. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing trays of 30 tacos and all veggies on the side! Plus we grabbed some Empanadas too! Today was the perfect day for us to try them since we were right at the mall! The owner was too sweet and brought us all kinds of things to try while we were waiting! The Biria was to die for and he brought us this Mexican Pizza absolutely mouthwatering! It is inside the gas station across from the Palisades! Seriously such good authentic Mexican food! He says you can even call and ask what his special is. He tries different things every week! Let's support a small local business! La Fondita Jarocha“

“We've been coming to this 100% Gluten free restaurant for about a year now. The food is always delicious. The service is fantastic. They provide great service with a smile and relax atmosphere. My son needs to eat Gluten free and he loves coming to eat here. The burrito, enchiladas, and yucca fries are delicious. The chicken and steak fajita is very good. My son loves the chicken tenders and fries, my daughter loves the beef tacos. This is a great GF restaurant. I definitely recommend.“

“I went earlier today(01/15/2023), and this has become my most "NEW FAVORITE HISPANIC FOOD PLACE." The service and hospitality are extremely outstanding. The staff is patient and understanding if you're new and friendly enough to suggest some of the locals' favorites. They have some amazing specials. I loved that the staff was open to customization and embraced my creativity nature. Despite me currently visiting from Las Vegas, NV, I was blown away by the burrito I customized. Granted, it isn't my own creation, although a recreation of an already well-known burrito with accommodation due to my lactose intolerance. It still impressed me for a California style burrito to taste so flavorful without any cheese or sour cream. Even the complimentary chips and salsa were beautifully made. I can't forget about the Orchata as well. It is the best damn Orchta's I ever had! This place is definitely a locals hidden gem that wowed me away. You can tell that a lot of care and love definitely goes into each meal that is created in their kitchen, and this is rare to come by nowadays! I plan to come back before I fly out to. See you soon and keep up the marvelous work! ( :“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“Excellent alternative to Chipotle!80% of the time I get their Nashville hot chicken burrito or bowl. This is better than Chipotle for following reasons.1. More flavors/options for your tastebuds.2. I like their reward program better than what other similar chains have.3. Excellent digital experience, easy to use app and on-time pickup. A notification about the ready pickup would be a nice to have.4. They give good portion of meat in your order.5. They also serve wings and deserts.Place is clean and is located in a nice small strip mall..!“

“Our friends, family and I (group of 12) went there on Sunday evening. It was our second time and it was even better than the last time! Friendly service, and great food! Everything we ordered was yum all the way to the desert. We already promised to ourselves we will be back next month already. Worth a trip! (We drive approx 40 min) Michas gracias ?“

“I had lunch yesterday with my daughter and her toddler. Valentino was our amazing server. He could not have been more helpful, kind, or quick (which was very appreciated)! The food is always excellent! I’ve had both lunch and dinner there and have always been very happy. I highly recommend it! ❤️“

“Fun atmosphere & Delicious Authentic Mexican food..Kid-friendliness: Kids are Welcomed & have Yummy deserts for kids..Parking: Beekman, side street non paid parking..Wheelchair accessibility: It’s street level.. Easy in & out..“

“Amazing! Did not expect to visit New York and find some of the best Mexican food I've ever had! Enchiladas are my favorite and every new restaurant I try, I always get it; these are likely the best I've ever had! So much depth and flavor. My husband loved his wild mushroom quesadilla and the sauce with it paired so well. The churros and sauce were perfect! Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“TEN STARS!! My brother goes there often and told us about this place and he was right! Our waiter, was incredibly attentive. The food!!!! was incredibly fresh and really flavorful. Can't wait to go back! By the way very kid friendly and the drink are “

“Very impressed! Dined here tonight and I was blown away with the quality and flavor of the food.I ordered the Guajillo rub chicken and it was great. The chicken was extremely juicy and flavorful. The presentation was amazing and the flavor hit different. Definitely more intricate and delicious flavors here compared to your standard Mexican restaurant. From the way the food was presented you can tell there is a great chef putting passion into the cooking.The chocolate lava cake was a hit to end out the dinner.Definitely give this place a try, I will be back for sure. The passionfruit mojitos were a hit as well!“

“Absolutely top-notch authentic Mexican food. Outdoor seating when the weather permits. I am blown away by one of their ceviches called “Vuelve a la Vida”. I order it every time.Be sure to order a dish that comes with rice and refried beans. Their refried beans are to die for! This is a 6 star review, but Google only allows me to put 5 stars. The food is consistently delicious and I always have a great experience at Gardenia’s.“

“This place just opened up and its so clean and cozy inside. Everyone is so friendly. And the food? Absolutely delicious. It was authentic and very fairly priced. I had the burrito bowl and you get more that what you paid for!! I am certainly coming back for more.“

“We stopped in for lunch after not having been in for many years. No reason other than we seldom think of it because there are several other Mexican places closer to us. We really enjoyed it. It's not a large menu, but it's got enough variety. The food and drinks were excellent, and the service was comfortable - attentive without being rushed or overbearing. Atmosphere seems authentic and is also very comfortable. We enjoyed a terrific lunch for a around the same price we would have paid for a sandwich and fries some place else. We left very satisfied and looking forward to our next visit.“

“5 stars for offering super healthy food in the Rivertowns! The menu has expanded and now includes fajita bowls served in lovely earthenware. The atmosphere has become cozy with soft lighting and beautiful flower filled vases on each table. Great value and service. It was busy on a Tuesday evening; this is good news for anyone searching for healthy delicious food in the area.“

“Not familiar with the area so I just picked from the phone map app. Brought us to a busy street, with a lot of eateries and so much Halloween decor. Coco's is a small place, with 3 tables and a window seating area for 3 people. But, so many people going in and out. Luckily, there was a table when we got there. We ordered at the counter and someone brought the food to our table. Pretty big menu so we tried some food which were new to us. Pancita is a red, spicy soup with tripe, served with soft tortillas. Seemed like a soup with a lot of chili-type oil so wasn't for me; I just ate the tripe pieces with rice and beans and I liked that better. Chimichanga was fried, filled with a lot of shredded beef and cheese - a bit salty so needed to eat with the salad and rice and beans it came with. Lengua tacos were ok, no distinct flavor or texture for me. Elote de la esquina was boiled corn (not grilled) with a generous amount of cotija cheese and red pepper but was neither too salty or too spicy, which was good for me. Smart to put in a tall plastic drink container.Street parking - we were lucky to find one nearby though.“

“The food is deliciously, amazing salsa & chips, Margaritas Fantastic my husband had the fajitas , I had the flautas yummy yummy The Service we got from Mr Jose wow exclusive friendly Attentive I frequently go out to eat the service we got from Don Jose I say it with all respect Thank you Thank you , The owner of this fantastic Mexican restaurant very Lucky to have an employee that loves his job thank you again Excellent Service , Food“

“The Taco Project is a cool restaurant. Loved the vibe and the food was pretty good.Food: So, let's taco 'bout this place! I dove into the Chili Shrimp and Mexican Corn Tacos, while my buddy tackled the Birria Bowl. The shrimp had some killer flavors, especially after I added a squirt of salsa verde for that extra kick. Only gripe? Wish they offered singles so I could mix it up. And those tortillas? Super tasty, but man, double 'em up next time to avoid the messy "blowout" situation. He loved the Birra Bowl. Super filling and satisfying. I also like that they have Margaritas, a nice surprise.Now, onto service: These guys were the real MVPs. Despite the fast-casual setup, they kept tables clean and were all over the dining area like pros.Vibe-wise? Cool as a cucumber. Digging the décor and that sunny corner spot, even on a gloomy day. Great place to chill and chow down.They have one in Stamford, where I have a client, so I will give that location a try as well.Date of Visit: 20 March 2024“

“The food was the best. As a hispanic this is extremely authentic food and it is cooked to perfection. The service is extremely good and me and my family loved it. The waitress was the nicest guy out there. To be honest, I ordered a burrito and it came out so good. I I could I would eat there every day best Mexican food in the area?“

“Finding QUALITY AUTHENTIC mexican food is hard in Rockland. But this place checks all the marks. No random peas or lettuce in dishes that dont have it. Great salsa verde (sometimes it is a bit spicy, so careful folks). Delicious chilaquiles. Great torta. Hand squeezed orance juice. This is a hidden gem. Somewhat easy to park.“

“This small hole in the wal restaurant serves excellent authentic Mexican food. Mostly a take out spot due to them having only a handful of tables inside. That being said the staff is friendly and welcoming when eating in house. We got an order of guacamole, tacos and chicken mole, all of which was fabulous. The kicker was the home made tortillas which were to die for ! Will be coming back to try more of the menu.“

“Great little Hispanic deli, just finished their lunch special w chicken that was priced fair. "Think it was 13 or $14 with a drink". If your a hot sauce guy, ask for their red sauce, they must make it there, but my God it hits a spot“

“The team in your park ridge location always treat me with much live and they always make sure my food is hot and ready as they make it! They always ask if everything is ok because if it’s not they will definitely fix it for you!Parking: Where they’re located is in a shopping plaza. So there is plenty of parking available when needed.Kid-friendliness: When I brought my babygirl she loved it“

“We love this place! Super authentic Mexican cuisine where you always feel welcome! The people here are so friendly and helpful. Margaritas are so good!! I got the spicy and my husband got the classic.Food was fantastic! We loved the enchiladas mole poblano, the cheese enchilada, bean burrito, and chicken flautas! Not to mention the starter mini cheese quesadilla, and dessert banana chimichanga. Everything was super fresh and absolutely delicious.We will definitely be back!! Muchas Gracias!!Dietary restrictions: Super accommodating“

“Top notch Mexican food at a great price. Aquas frescas are amazing, authentic, and at least 20 fl. oz. Prices are perfect. Small dining room, but they do not cramp the tables together. Spanish-language talk shows or telenovelas on a 50" screen blare their Central- and South-American equivalents of nonsense TV. It all makes for a perfect combination of a good lunch somewhere.The food is top notch, with the chips/salsa plentiful. Want guac? It's homemade and, if I recall, $8 for a ton of it. Their plates will overwhelm you, again, for a reasonable price. Plus, seasonings are spot on.You have to go there. Tip well. I know I will again after a luncheon there once upon a random time.“

“There were two other locations. The one in north Yonkers unfortunately closed but the Riverdale site (and this one) are still going strong. Great happy hour, solid plates, and great service. Drinks are well done. Parking can be a problem and there aren’t many tables when the place is popular, but worth it.“

“We visited this place on a Saturday, we tried Birria con arroz y Frijoles, and this was one of the best Birria in town ever! We also had Tacos arabes, the meat, seasonings and the salsa roja were beyond delicious. I have to say that costumer service is one of the best we have ever had. We highly recommend you this place, don't go with the fact that is a small establishment. You won't regret it“

“The best Mexican restaurant in rockland county. The place is clean and the food is always fresh. You must eat at the place to enjoy a different experience. Don't feel shy about going or talking with the workers they are really great and friendly.“

“I am going to try my best to put how I feel about this restaurant into words. I grew up a block away from this place, and every Sunday after church I would go with my family. It's one of those spots where you could order the same thing each time and NEVER get tired. Located in a corner of a plaza across the street from Walgreens in Spring Valley, this spot is conveniently located in the center of the city. The Biztec Tapatio is great if you like a little spicy kick, the ceviche when you're craving something fresh, and the fish. I'm getting hungry just typing it out. Now the service... you can TELL that the family has poured so much of their love and effort into this restaurant. LOVE THIS PLACE, highly recommend if you are looking for AUTHENTIC Mexican food“
