50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Oyster Bay

“The food was delicious. Homemade corn tortillas, homemade salsa, carnitas street tacos, and fried Yucca were authentic and delicious. The owner Lourdes was very nice and took time to serve us. Would definitely come again for authentic Mexican food.“

“Shared 4 assorted tacos (fish, lengua, birria & carnitas) with my wife for snack, craved for more. I don’t usually get Lengua (tongue) because of funky after taste from previous experience. At Mala Madre, lengua was so tender, butter and beefy. Will definitely come back for more.“

“Absolutely amazing! My daughter and I had an appointment in the area today, and being not from the area I asked for recommendations on the Long Island Foodies page. You did not disappoint!! We ordered four tacos (the crispy chicken was my favorite,) corn, jalapeño poppers and drinks. Every single item was amazing! Then the staff - we are outside and from the first staff member we met to the last the service was top notch! Extra thanks to the gentleman who made sure to bring me out some Fat Boy Sauce, because I mentioned it was our first time he said “you have to have it.” He was right. We did! And Sal. Every restaurant should have someone as welcoming and lovely as Sal. He made us feel like regulars on our first time. My daughter has already asked to take the hour trip back again next week, and I’m thinking about it.“

“It’s a owner operator business, Manuel, is a star! Went in for lunch with my good friend he was Very attentive. We had the shrimp quesadilla and chicken crunch wrap! Three different mild sauces and three different hot sauces . Their homemade hot sauce was excellent! Chorizos was spectacular! Nobody’s gonna run it the way you want it! Thank you Manuel!Parking: I had no problem parking in front of the business.“

“Been here a couple of times, and each time the food and the service has been amazing! Has definitely become one of my favourite spots for Mexican food in all of Long Island. I can’t wait to keep trying different items on the menu until I’ve tried everything they have to offer. This place is great in every aspect, and worth every penny! The photos are from the last time I went with my boyfriend, we got the birria tacos and el burrito chingon. Portion sizes were perfect!“

“Good food had a Al pastor burrito and tacos, and birria quesadillas. The chips were made there. I ordered picking up from DoorDash so I am not sure about the service but it was a they serve you what you want down a line kind of place too. They have a .75 per lb burrito and some lunch specials I am interested to try.“

“I was very skeptical of this place at first, but it was amazing. So the concept is Italian-Mexican food. It works. And it works very well.We ordered 3 tacos as well as the surf and turf quesadilla. I was absolutely blown away by the taste and quality of everything. The quesadilla was one of the best I've had in a long time. The steak was juicy, the shrimp wasn't chewy, and the flavors were amazing. For tacos, we got the ital-Americano, chicken parm, and maialino. Every one was tasty in its own way. The Ital-Americano was super juicy, the chicken parm was just delicious chicken parm in a shell, and the mialino was juicy with just the right amount of spice.I need to remember next time to sign up for the rewards program since I know I'll be back there a lot.Parking: Parking all over.“

“This is surprisingly good BBQ for long Island! The service is excellent: really friendly and everyone seemed proud of their food -- I love seeing that. The is good (not amazing), but if you're nearby, definitely stop in. The smoked porchetta is incredibly tender and unique.“

“Went here for the first time on 2/10/24. Quaint little mom and pop spot with great food, and a wide menu. I had the Burro Loco, which is steak and fries in a burrito, the Birria Tacos (shown in pic), and the chicken quesadillas. They were all AMAZING! Service with a smile as well.Run, don't walk!!!“

“Ordered a taco instead of a burrito they remade my order and gave me the taco with no issue, the owner is a great guy and you feel like family as soon as you walk in. Don’t forget about how good the food is as well! Would recommend this spot to anyone who likes a fresh authentic burrito!“

“Great experience and surprise! I loved my food choices recommended by one of the owners who is a ray of sunshine! Scrumptious warm baked bread with a spicy guava sauce! Shrimp Stroganoff with mushrooms rice and stick potatoes was delicious! Yucca fries were amazing. Cannot wait to come back!“

“This place is sooooooooo goooood! The food is extremely delicious ? perfect portions and the sauce is delectable! We love the tortas here! They come so quick and are very fairly priced. The agua de jamaica here makes me crave another cup. My new weekend favorite!“

“A unique restaurant offering Mexican and Italian cuisine. My partner and I started off with a delicious Greek salad and then both had fajitas. There was an abundance of the chicken and steak in the fajitas. They came out sizzling hot and were seasoned nicely and flavorful. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is not large and has a friendly and family atmosphere. Definitely check it out!!!“

“Delicious food!This is my fourth time going to the restaurant, I’ve always been greeted with a friendly smile and a hello.I ordered tacos al pastor, and i was amazed to see that they make the tortillas fresh in-house & not store bought ☺️I also had a torta al pastor and it was delicious and fresh. Over this beats any other taco place on long island, so much closer than queens when your craving some tacos and torta :)“

“We made reservations for 8:30pm, had to wait a while and got a both table for 7, the manager was very understanding and was able to move us to a different table to feel more comfortable- thank you btw. Food was good, atmosphere could use a little more space but great and drinks were phenomenal.Thanks “

“Went there for the first time yesterday for my lunch. SO GOOD! The Mongolian beef tacos are UHHMAZINGGG. Loved the carne taco. The Thai chicken taco was okay but it just wasn’t my favorite. Their pineapple salsa is SLAMMINNNN. I also got a chicken taco that was good too. I will definitely be going back soon :)))“

“Been here a bunch of times. Staff is always great.. Quality is always great. Food is always fresh and hot. Cool little vibe. Will continue to be a customer. Love the quesadillas, that’s my go to. My wife loves the shrimpy taco. Fair prices for great products.“

“Taste Haven fills a void in the area for healthy flavorful food. I really enjoy their paninis and smoothies and am excited to try more of the menu. I recommend ordering ahead and picking up because the food is made fresh and takes a bit. They also have online ordering, delivery and meal prep but haven’t tried that yet.“

“Excellent Mexican food at a very good price. The place is not fancy, but if you want authentic Mexican food at a great price, this is the place for you. We ordered 4 tacos, the mixed grill entree, 2 sides, and a natural juice. Everything was delicious even after being reheated the next day. The service was prompt and attentive. We will definitely be returning.“

“We were a bit skeptical at first since it appeared to be more of a commercial side and we usually prefer authentic Mexican cuisine. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was not only delicious, but also authentic and well-portioned, all at a reasonable price.“

“That girl with glasses and smart hair is really rude when serving, whether or not she is part of the owners, whatever, she should not be rude when serving people, she has a bitter face and that's the same with her service, you ask about some lemons and looks at you as if you are asking him to go take them down from the tree... such a service is in bad taste when one tries to eat in peace“

“We had a great time, both the hotel and the beach were very beautiful, the food was delicious, the staff was very kind and helpful, and there were many interesting activities (minigolf, Mediterranean city, Aquapark, etc). We will definitely come again :)“

“I am truly so impressed with our experience tonight!!! The food was great and fresh, portions were huge, prices were reasonable and our delivery was quick. My toddler loved it too! Thank you SO much. It was our first time and we will definitely be ordering “

“Amazing restaurant whether it's with friends or family! One of my best friends from college raved about this restaurant and it's easily a hidden gem! You wouldn't normally expect to have a Greek-Mexican fusion restaurant but this one is amazing! I highly recommend getting their stuffed poblano peppers (stuffed with Cauliflower as I'm vegetarian) - 11/10! They even have mocktails and I recommend the mango mule - which I absolutely loved! Will definitely be back here, but given today was Saturday, the restaurant was busy so you couldn't hear the conversation, but food and service are top notch! Also...Food Network...get here ASAP!“

“Top Mexican restaurant of all time. We don’t get tired of the place nor the food. Top notch! The manager Cesar is incredibly welcome, so attentive, and keeps the place organized. Adan also greets you with a smile and always makes sure you are well taken care of. Paola and Darwin at the bar makes you have an amazing experience with any drink and their customer service is just top. Overall, we love this place and always recommend it to family and friends.“

“My family and I went in on a whim today and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was Amazing! And the staff were very attentive too and they got the order perfect! We cant wait to go again! Ps we got the burrito bowls, one chicken, one beef! Very fresh ingredients! Way to go, Guac Time!“

“My gf and I were on the hunt for some good authentic Mexican tacos. We stumbled upon this place on a whim doing a quick google search and the reviews were very good. So we decided to stop in for dinner and we quickly realized why! Everything was on point from the customer service, to the food/food quality and the portions. We will return…“

“We came on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t too busy but the service was amazing and the food is delicious! The nachos with tomatillo sauce on the side was my absolute favorite. Everything is fresh and the sauces are made in house. We ordered the margarita flight which was not only an amazing spectacle but every flavor was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place! 10/10“

“My Fiancé l live in Huntington Beach about 15 minutes away from Owen’s Tacos. We decided to try this place and as soon as we arrived we were greeted by the person behind the counter who was very attentive, probably the owner. Any ways, with so many things to chose from we decided to try the steak nachos and hamburger with fries. Let me say that we were very impressed with the service and quality of food. The nachos had good size pierces of steak and the whole plate was delicious. The hamburger you could tell was seasoned inside and it tasted amazing, you will not be disappointed if you like Latin American style hamburgers. We also had the Horchata drink which is a typical Central American grain based sweet water drink. Amazing!“

“I celebrated my birthday & my brothers; they went beyond for our celebration.If you want to feel special for your day, this is the place!Marvin & Chris were amazing! Definitely will come back!!!Rene the owner made us feel at home & went beyond for my birthday and my brother!Lucy the chef was amazing, her food was 10 out of 10!Definitely will be back!!!“

“Curbside Mexican Grille is where Mercy Hospital’s Labor and Delivery department order from days in a row that’s how I knew I needed to try it. Went with my boyfriend and we ordered a Gringo burrito, Birria Tacos, and an order of 2 Beef Empanadas/2 Beef and Mac and Cheese Empanadas. The food was AMAZING! Great service and explanation of the menu. My boyfriend keeps talking about how he wants to go back already. Can’t wait to go again!“

“Very good tacos, good location, good service. Only downside to this place is the lack of seating and overall interior of the store. Would definitely be a lot lot better with more seating and an interior change, but I can get over that for some of the best local tacos.“

“Al pastor taco, side a guacamole and chips. Are always a must!! The burritos are so Bomb. Best taco/burritos in the area. They also have fresh juices they make daily. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Haven’t tried the carne asada that they recommended but I will be back.“

“It doesn't look like much from the outside but this place is very good. My wife and I live down the street and we come here at least once a week. We try to make it down for taco Tuesdays they have $3 Tacos and they are delicious. My favorite is the Al Pastor, and maybe the chorizo at a close second, but they are all super tasty. I also love their home made Sopes tortillas and the quesadillas. In addition to the delicious food the owners are so nice so it makes you want to keep coming back. Get the jalapeño margarita if you can handle the heat. You won't be disappointed.“

“Stopped in here with my wife today. It was 3:30 on Friday, we were the only ones in there, as we expected at that time. It was nice to see a family run restaurant. The owner was the chef, his wife and daughter the servers. Food was really good. We started with the guacamole and we ordered the mussels. The chef came out and said the mussels came in a little small today and asked if we would like the clams instead. We said why not. The broth in this clam dish was fantastic. Then he came back out and asked if we want to try his carrot soup. One of the best soups I've literally ever had. Then we finished with steak fajitas and the flautas. Both great dishes. They were really friendly and nice people. We really appreciated their service and kindness. Also don't forget to get the red sangria it's amazing.“

“I ate green chilaquiles with cecina and the truth, delicious!The compa Miguel is very friendly, the waitress is very attentive. Thank you for your service, the food and the attention have no complaints!A good place to fill your belly!Blessings Michael!!“

“Such an underrated gem in Seaford. They have both a nice patio in the back decorated to give all the island vibes as well seating out front on the street side, and of course indoor availability. Service was very personable and quick from drinks through the end of the meal. They certainly don't skimp on the variety of options food wise from starters, quesadillas, tacos to wraps etc. Drink wise I went with the "Mammacita Needs A Margarita" aka a Spicy Marg. Loved the addition of cucumber to the drink to balance it and give it a little refreshing aspect. Food wise we just got a smattering of tacos (Luger, Tropical Lobstahhh, Birria, Al Pastor, Carne Smack Dat Asad and the Cali-Flower) just to try and sample a little of everything. First and foremost, the portions are legit - they don't skimp out so you'll be full or even have extra to take home. Taste wise, my top 3 were the Luger, Lobster and Cali-Flower. All very flavorful and unique in their own way. Definitely will be back once the weather heats up!“

“I was here once before. I ordered The Carney asada taco,w/ onion's Cambray and nopal Onions are chopped very fine Tasted like I was eating a Spanish pork chop. This is the best little gem. Hidden in the back. Amelia the owner is very sweet. The bottles on the table The green sauce was a little watered down but OK the other 2 bottles meh. I decided to get two. $6.00 .“

“we ordered takeout and were so impressed by the food. we typed out a lot of modifications and they were all correctly applied, and everything was absolutely delicious. highly recommend the quesadillas and burritos! will definitely come again.“

“Food is getting better.. the service is okay but stable. The environment can use some help as the tables are often sticky. Getting expensive.Parking: Lots of free parkingKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure if the doors are automatic and there are 2 of them“

“Ordered from here and the nacho bowl was amazing! Everything was really fresh and the ground beef had great flavor. I ordered pick up and it was ready in less than ten min. They also give discounts for Uber eats pickup and in person orders! Definitely going back.!“

“I absolutely love this place! Their food does not disappoint. The portions are great. I love the chicken tacos, chicken burrito and steak burrito. Plus the guac is not extra in the burrito. The burritos are so big and filling. Support local business and come to taquitos grill and forget about chipotle and moes! This place blows them away!!!!“

“Before I even get to the food, the service and staff at mesita (Rockville center location) was amazing! The manager Ruben and our waitress Alejandra were so attentive, considerate and went out of their way to make sure everything was as we needed it. It was evident that Ruben took pride in his work as well as having pride for his staff. The food was delicious, the drinks were delicious and still my favorite thing about the place was the wonderful and attentive staff - who even while extremely busy always found time to make sure everything was just right for us!“

“I can't say enough good things about the staff at this location. Yesterday my daughter was car sick in the parking lot before we even came in, staff came out and checked on us, brought her water. so sweet! food was great! staff amazing! definitely recommend!“

“Hubby and I like to experience new restaurants. We were in search of a new Mexican Restaurant-good drinks, good food, great atmosphere- this place had it all. From the background music to the chips and guacamole- the entrée was the cherry on top. The service was great! The food was delicious! We ordered the queso fundido for appetizers it was delicious! Very cheesy and just perfect the drinks- they were amazing! We had their cranberry margarita and regular margarita.It was a wonderful date night. And yes! I would definitely go back againParking: Parking is in the back of restaurant“

“We stopped here after taking a course nearby. We're not from the area but we were craving some good Mexican food. This place satisfied that craving more than we could have anticipated. It lacks the distracting bells and whistles that most inauthentic lackluster Mexican joints on Long Island tend to have. The focus here is on the food and the passion behind it comes through in each bite.It's tucked away in the corner of a little shopping mall but dont let its lack of street presence keep you from giving it a shot. The horchata was spot on! Will be stopping here the next time we are in the area for sure.“

“Omg! Just what I was looking for! Since opening the new location, upgrades to the seating and big tv screens give this pace a wonderful atmosphere to eat in and enjoy! They have nintendo video games at each table with so many games for kids , teens and adults to choose from.while you wait .the food is delicious! I ordered the burritos, tacos and gauc with chips...omg...it was absolutely amazing..good portion sizes and great fast service..they also have shakesand specialty desert that are so creative! .this is definitely my new go to place, they have so much variety, burgers, tacos, wings..you can't go wrong! Go Here Nowww.....Thank me later ?Parking: Parking in the rear“

“Great food classic new york pizza as well as a couple different types I highly recommend the rolls or calzones it took a while to get the food but definitely worth the wait also the salads are insanely goodVegetarian options: If it's vegetarian it's mostly eggplant rolls and veggie pizza but they are huge“

“Spent the most amazing evening with friends - spontaneous get together!!Our friends suggested the time and my husband picked the venue - Besito Mexican!The ambiance is cosy - some might find it a little dark and music tad on the higher side - but it did not bother me as such.To begin with we had the chips and Guacamole - we requested them to make it a little on the spicier side.The different mocktails that we order were delicious and spot on!Now for the main course - I had the Shrimp Jalisco - this dish was very well presented and TASTY.. a little on the sweeter side, but Tasty!The rest of the dishes on the table were El Dorado, Chicken and Veg Tacos - everyone enjoyed their food but I think the Shrimp Jalisco stood out !!Let's talk about Desserts now - we ordered the Chocolate Pudding, Tres leches and the Churros - which we polished off during an hour long conversation - it was almost closing time - it was an amazing evening, time just flew by with delicious food, wonderful company in a beautiful place!!Thank you Lord!“
