50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Pearl River

“Just moved to River Vale from Astoria Queens and tried this on my way home from the Gym (Retro in PR). First off I came in 15 mins before they closed and they were about to close the kitchen and reopend it to make my tacos so kindness already wins! However, the most important part …The Food. If you are expecting Michelin Star tacos then you should go to a Michelin Star restaurant. For anyone that says the food is not good is just bsing. This is a solid taco spot and good to eat on the go or for a quick lunch or dinner. I have had plenty of good tacos being from queens having some of the best taco spots in the world in my boro. This place would definitely compete has a solid neighborhood spot in Queens. Definitely worth going and eating. Plus the five tacos for 15 bucks is a pretty good deal in an inflationary world. Don't listen to the haters that say this food isn't good.“

“This is a good Mexican Burrito spot in Middletown, good quality food, good service.

I ordered a Make-Your-Own Burrito and it was delicious, reasonably priced too, it all depends on what kind of protein you choose that will determine the overall cost for your order. And the atmosphere of the place was solid to dine in.

The menu has a good variety as well, more so in comparison to Chipotle I have to say.

Overall a good Mexican Burrito/food, spot, I recommend giving it a go if you are in Middletown, Pearl River area. Would order/visit again.“

“Best Mexican place in NJ and PA combined. I’ve had lots of Mexican food from many places and this place blows all others out of the water. Genuinely a perfect 10/10 authentic Mexican food restaurant. The employees are also very kind and willing to converse.“

“Walking into Mariana’s restaurant was like a trip from cold New York to warm Mexico. I loved the ambience, the sound of Mexican music, colorful Mexican decor, a wonderfully accommodating waiter, Jose, coupled with delicious authentic-tasting Mexican food was a treat for my senses. The generous portion of food was bursting with flavor. The entire experience at Mariana’s Restaurant was well worth the ride from Manhattan. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mariana’s Restaurant. You will be seeing me again, the sooner, the better.“

“La comida deliciosa , servicio excelente muy limpio muy buen servicio 💯 recomendado !!😊😊“

“Finally!! Ramsey was in desperate need of good Mexican food. Guacamole & chips were fresh and delicious. Our Burritos were stuffed and yummy! Our toddler loved the quesadilla. Will be ordering again soon! 🥑😍“

“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“

“What do you do when your son eats your leftover enchiladas on Friday night? You go back on Saturday! Husband had the steak salad. Lots of steak.“

“The food is always fresh and unlike other Mexican restaurants in the area, they listen to you. I like my food on the spicy side, no gringo American for me!! Lol“

“the best mexican food. exelent service!!!!“

“Recomiendo la calidad de la comida , siempre con un sabor exquisito y lo mejor de todo la comida siempre fresca , yo lo recomiendo altamente y es atendido por sus dueños que tienen un trato muy cálido y amable .“

“2nd time here, not disappointed!“

“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.“

“Absolutely the best Tacos, Tortas, Nachos, Papas Locas, And everything they cook and prepare is great!!! This is my go to spot in Rockland County for Tacos!! Hands down the best, their Sauce is 🔥🔥🔥. This is a taqueria, not a restaurant, a taqueria!!! Straight street food! Mexican!

Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos!!!“

“We ordered pizza on Easter Sunday for dinner. The food tasted really good and the employees were super nice 👍🏼 I would highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Real Mexican food not Tex Mex !The food was excellent. The service was excellent too. Todo deliciosa , la comida y el servicio excelente 😊👌“

“Food was amazing. Top notch. Very kind people. There’s one night I was starving, and ordered from this place. Maybe the restaurant about to close, they gave me extra drink and small guac. That just made my night. Thank you again, appreciate your kindness“

“Very good environment and nice spacing between seats. Good atmosphere and delicious food! Employees are hard working and caring!! Highly recommend !!“

“I stopped by Taqueria the other week for their grand opening, and I think I've found a new favorite taco spot. The place is vibrantly decorated, super clean, and the music was on point.
Anthony, the manager, walked me through some of the menu options even though there were digital kiosks available—that’s rare these days, so it was nice. The steak was cooked so perfectly in my tacos and burrito box, I was back for more within the week!
Anthony mentioned I should try the chicken next time, so that's definitely my next order. Will recommend to friends!“

“me encanta la comida tiene un sabor muy bueno pero lo que megusta es el ambiente familiar de como te tratan le doy 5 estrellas“

“Food here is amazing and reasonably priced. The margaritas are equally good and it has a relaxing atmosphere, scenic outdoor dining and always friendly service. Don't always get up to Piermont, but when I do it's delicious Mexican food and a yummy drink at this awesome spot!“

“The place had been closed for a while but the reopened and the carnitas tacos are still excellent. Highly recommend. Best tacos in the world. So far the best tacos I have had in Yonkers. I always get the carnitas tacos and they are always so flavorful and the place is simple but nice and clean. The carnitas are always tender. I also get the horchata. This is the place I always go to for Taco Tuesdays. Hands down the best chimichanga in the area, the service is great and the people are very friendly. I've been here several times and never had to wait long for my food. A must of your looking for good authentic Mexican food.“

“Shout out to Bubbakoos in New Paltz NY. I forget to hit submit on my online order so when I went in to pick up there was no order for me. When I saw my mistake they made my order right away. That was so awesome of them. I really appreciated the awesome customer service- especially when the error was all mine.“

“First time here ,so glad We went. From the moment you walk in the door We were greeted. The guy in the blue shirt didn't get his name must be the manager or maybe the owner Had such enthusiasm I told him I've never been here before and he went through everything with me even though he had A-line of customers.. The food was absolutely amazing I Had the chicken and shrimp burrito and my husband had the Steak and shrimp burrito. We also ordered the curly fries with Bacon and queso And for dessert we ordered Fried oreos with powdered so good we ordered a second batch.. Would definitely Recommend this location . Might take my mom there today That's how good the food was and the whole experience..“

“the food is awesome n the staff as well.“

“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.“

“I wanna give a big thank you to our waiter Carlos we had a party of 13 ppl and we all enjoyed ourselves the service was an amazing experience!!! We will definitely go there again everything was worth it:) THANK YOU CARLOS“

“As a Hispanic person in a predominantly white town like Westwood, the rate on this store does not match their true authenticity. This is what a true Mexican restaurant is like and the ambience matches that as well. The food is incredible and despite its look I promise you this is as close as you can get to a perfect taco. I recommend a classic bistec taco and a tall glass bottle of coke. This is extremely refreshing to feel and see my culture up close and feel close to home even here in Jersey. Again I’ve been eating tacos my ENTIRE life and can confirm this place deserves 5 stars. You don’t need an extremely fancy set up or overpriced anything to make the food taste better. This is overall the one of the best Mexican restaurants in the county.“

“Outstanding atmosphere, more open and airy feeling than El Bandido days, and absolutely savory offerings, done perfectly. THANK YOU, and VIVA ZAPATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great food, friendly staff. I had the super nachos, they were.“

“From the first time I walked in I was hooked. I know the cooks from another establishment, I love the ladies that work there. I'm like family and they treat me with lots of love and respect. I enjoy myself each time.“
