50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Pelham

“This was a jewel find. We are from out of town and noticed this restaurant had GF selections. A small cost atmosphere. Despite not having reservations they squeezed us in. Entirely kind staff, great cocktails, scrumptious food. I will be back again if ever in the area. Fab place!“

“Found this restaurant by accident on Friday and we love it! In fact, we went back Saturday for Churros and Sunday for dinner again. On Friday we had their Street Tacos and today we had their Tako Bowls! This may be a small place, but their flavors are not!! Amazing food and great portions! The entire staff from front and back of house are very friendly. So glad we found them and looking forward to going back! We HIGHLY recommend them!“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ALL AROUND!!!
Such incredible food and drinks. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The Pozole was amazing. We sat at the kitchen bar and watching the chefs execute each dish was absolute food porn. RECOMMEND!!!!!“

“My first time eating here! The horchata is the best I've ever had! I’m now able to differentiate between authentic Horchata and mid horchata thanks to this restaurant! This is a small restaurant but so festive and beautiful! They cooked the food with love. Me and my wife had the Birria Pizza. The meat was cooked well and the pizza stood in tact.“

“Taqueria Tlaxcalli is absolutely delicious!“

“I like their food and service.
A group of young men putting the work. The place is nice and clean, their food is very good. Those guys really tried. I used to order online, today I decided to walk in eventhough it took them a lil time to have my order ready once served I was very pleased with the food. 10 out of 10z.

Athmosphere, could be a little better.“

“Chill location in Bronx, near Arthur Ave.

Tacos were perfect, frozen margarita were from another league and churros were amazing.
To add, service was fast and you always feel like your being served by a relative and not a stranger.

To add it all, pricing is a great value with respect to quality and service.

100% would come back“

“So happy I decided not to go home and cook. I live close by and wanted to try this restaurant for so long. I finally did it. I had the tortilla soup and the flautas. And of course chips with salsa and guacamole. Everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and attentive. Ambiance is very nice and the music… I was singing and dancing waiting for my food. Loved it!!“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

“Comida súper autentica, deliciosa, sabrosa y los precios súper accesibles! 100% recomendado“

“I looked up what foods in the area were top rated and this little restaurant popped up. So I went for a try. Got the steak nachos and WOW. Everything taste fresh and even the chip were crispy fresh and taste homemade. The crema, beans, steak well seasoned, guacamole all paired wonderfully and perfect portions of each. I hate getting nachos with 80% chips, 10% beans and barely any protein. This place knows exactly what they’re doing and I can’t wait to try other stuff on their menu. Also it’s a very small restaurant with limited seating. I took my food to-go and it was well packaged and hot.“

“Atmosphere was sophisticated especially compared to neighborhood Mexican restaurants. Service was attentive. But the food was disappointing. House salad was nice, with a touch of unexpected mint, but the Vegetarian Chili Rellenos with winter vegetables really missed the mark. In hindsight I should have returned it as it was warm but barely cooked. Every vegetable stuffed in the poblano chili, including the chili itself, was still crunchy (almost raw) rather than what I am sure the head chef would have intended. Also, The carrot pure sauce was a bit too heavy on the cream. I had high expectations, so was disappointed.“

“The customer service is wonderful, from Adrián specifically, and the food is even better. It manages to maintain the authentic cuisine of Mexico and at the same time provide a touch of modernity. Plus the party music and colorful lights simply bring a great atmosphere!“

“I loved my experience here. Now I should warn you, this place has a lot of character. If you want something a little boring and sterile, this is not the place. Victor was an incredible host and the food was fantastic.
I won't forget it. Such a nice time.“

“Los mejores tacos que he comido en mi vida!“

“This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back“

“Was here for the first time Awesome all around - everyone friendly - great food - great entertainment !“

“Came in here today at random and got a green smoothie and a chicken pastelito. 10 across the board. Workers here are super friendly, place is clean and smells good and the food is amazing! Love they made my juice natural and the chicken in the pastelito is so good and moist.“

“The food is delicious, they always accommodate my needs. They have excellent wines, The atmosphere is calm, perfect for eating and relaxing for a moment, free from the stress of everyday life, the young woman who serves simply has a good attitude, is friendly and always serves with a nice smile. It's my favorite place. 100% recommended.“

“Loved this spot! Great food and service!“

“Nice atmosphere, lovely wait staff. Aesthetically pleasing presentation of wonderfully delicious food! Will definitely return to try more dishes!“

“So this place opened up less than a year ago.Me and my husband have definitely been here at least 4x ... Let's start with the bartender ( same guy every time) his personality is absolutely amazing.The whole atmosphere is insane.Lee literally like a breath out of the Bronx for a minute... I can't stress their shrimp tacos enough... it is my ultimate favorite but I also had prime rib taco's last time & beyond ?... Me and my husband have date night at least 2x weekly & if you want an intimate atmosphere that's décor is beautifu. l.Music is mexican music which is very fitting but know this "you're gonna spend money" for 2 ppl a shot and a Margarita each then an entree. y appetizer is gonna.
Cost you around $200 and it's worth it every time!!!“

“Me and my daughter, enjoyed this restaurant so much during our Mommy and Me weekend! The atmosphere was laid back and quite relaxing. The service was superb and the food was so good, we had to order food to bring home. I would give this establishment 6 stars if I could. We were both very pleased and we will be dining here again very soon. If you have not been here, you should definitely give them a visit. Peace and Love, Chele from the Block.“

“Had an amazing GF experience! Service was top notch and so friendly. All the tacos and sides were the kind you never want to end. Even got some in lettuce wraps. Recommend: Everything! Stand out tacos: Mahi-mahi, shrimp, short rib, friend calamari. Sides: street corn, rice & beans, charred broccoli. Dessert: Churros!“

“Featured on Binging with Babish. This is an excellent breakfast burrito, we tried both the bacon and chorizo burritos. I slightly preferred the chorizo - hints of lime, big chunks of avocado. This is a hefty meal at a very good price. Excellent service, kind and friendly staff, and perfect to take to the park“

“Had such a relaxing evening here. From start to finish everything was perfect. They made the guacamole fresh infront of us. Albert our sever was fantastic he could not do enough for us. Carlos on cocktails made the best mojitos we have ever had! Cannot recommend enough. Best Mexican we have had in NYC!“

“Genuinely the best Mexican food I’ve had in Westchester, maybe even New York. And that’s saying something from native Californians! Tortillas and ingredients were very fresh and authentic. Prices were beyond reasonable. We’ll definitely be regular customers!“

“💖Always a delight to eat in a Cozy restaurant with fresh homemade food.“

“The food and service is great every time I stop by. The shrimp Tortas is chef’s kiss, the fruit, the breakfast!!!! But the star is the Cafe De Olla. If you’re ever in Astoria, definitely stop by and grab a quick meal you won’t be disappointed“

“Every time we dine at El Kallejon we are delighted with exquisite botanas from Mexico. The cocktails are great and the desserts too. The ambience is very cozy and decorated with art and colors from different places of Mexico. You can enjoy dinner with your friends and family. My son enjoys eating shrimp tacos, chilaquiles and churros. I enjoyed as well every signature dish and every artisan craft cocktail from El Kallejon. Also, El Kallejon hosts every year a Day of the Death Event where you can celebrate this tradition with music and folk dance. El Kallejon is a piece of Mexico in East Harlem. Nestor, chef, and owner is friendly and humorous. He describes his passion for his culture, food, music and traditions. Visit el Kallejon in East Harlem.“

“My first time here but definitely won't be my last. Great place, owners are so friendly and accommodating. Band was great. Well worth the drive from Jersey.“

“Great food/lovely authentic Mexican decor“

“💕❤️buen servicio 😍😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤 😇“

“Have been going here for 20+ years now. Food is always fast and consistent and they have the best chimichangas anywhere. I've been unable to find ones anywhere else that come close! I used to live nearby but now that i moved out of state, i always make it a point to stop here when back in the area.“

“1st times a charm. 3rd time back again! I stumbled upon this hidden gem last Saturday evening. Immediately floored by the hospitality, authenticity and of course the food! If you happen to be in New Rochelle. Please pay homage to the Mexican Corner.“

“I needed a quick lunch, so I tried this place. I had a chorizo taco and a tinga de pollo quesadilla. The taco was awesome! The sausage was cut into tiny cubes and grilled, not soaked in oil and grease like some places. And the tinga was excellent, not dry, and had that great tangy flavor I love. Everything was fresh, and the prices were very reasonable. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll definitely go back.“

“Easily one of the best Mexican spots in Westchester. We brought the kids and they couldn’t get enough of the tacos, pupusas, and tamales. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The food is super flavorful and authentic, and the whole place has a friendly, laid-back vibe. Great for families or anyone looking for a solid Mexican spot. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had!
I found this restaurant through a TikTok video that mentioned they serve barbacoa de chivo (tender goat meat) on weekends—so I decided to take my dad here for Father’s Day. We ordered the birria tacos with handmade tortillas, and let me tell you… those tortillas are a 10/10—absolutely worth it!

My dad got the ribeye, and he gave it a solid 10/10 as well. Of course, we came for the barbacoa, and it did not disappoint. Words can’t describe how good it was tender, flavorful, and unforgettable.

The drinks were also amazing. My mom loved the tamarind, and I personally went for the Jamaica. Both perfectly refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness to complement the food.

To top it all off, we had the homemade flan and churros absolutely delicious.

But what really made the experience even better was the outstanding service. Shoutout to Alex and Paulina for taking the time to explain the menu and make sure everything was perfect from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Their hospitality was top-tier.

This is a family-owned Mexican restaurant that I would 100% recommend to anyone in the area—or even if you have to make a little trip. It’s so worth it! 🙌🏼🌮🇲🇽“
