50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Plainview

“Very nice inviting decor. Service was just ok. The server was basic, didn’t tell us it was happy hour? Nor did she mention and food selections. For a new establishment I guess I was expecting a bit more … maybe ask if we had been there before? Check back to see how our food was( it was outstanding), we got more help from the water girl Had to ask to clear table. Had to ask for check from the water girl? The server had much support. Seems she took our order and disappeared. But the server assistants were on point. Dinner was really good. We will go back… because of the food. Even the manager walked pasted us a dozen times. There were 6 tables.. perfect time for manager to mingle… just saying. Place is very nice, great menu too. Just left feeling ignored. Nice music too. Maybe the server was having a bad day? Like I said we will go again !!! Great food.“

“We came here on a thurs even around 6pm...Was pretty crowded but got a table in the middle..The sound level is pretty high at 3/4 capacity but somehow you seem to flow with it because of the atmosphere... People enjoying good mex food are more enjoyable to be around for some reason..anyway...lighting as with most place is difficult to read menu but once the order was in,alot of fun...I noticed the food to be very FRESH...I immediately tasted that in the beans on my Mexican special and the Flautas,chimichanga etc were all delicious stuffed and perfectly cooked!..Fajita steak was so nicely marinated and charred but med inside..Perfect!..Wait staff were all very pleasant....I enjoyed my visit and will defin visit during a slow day,maybe lunch for a lil more quiet....“

“Have ordered many times from Ole’s. The food is delicious and service friendly and warm. Today, decided to eat in so we could try the nachos crispy and warm in the store. They were amazing!!! The other items were also great, my kids loved all of it. At the end, we had a chance to meet one of the owners, Manny. He was very friendly and warm, chatted with my boys and then surprised them with a warm churro. Needless to say, we’ll be coming back even more frequently now. Yum yum yum.“

Parking: Free parking in the back lot. Enter the restaurant through the rear, which is a nice entrance.“

“great food, fun atmosphere and great music!“

“The meals are excellent 👌. The helpers are very friendly and work hard. But, I buy and eat at home.

The food is excellent, the help is friendly and works hard. I take out and eat at home though. Please don't make fun of my Spanish, I am trying. Enjoy!“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“Some of their food is not the same and I noticed that it’s on certain days when they have the younger ones working in the kitchen. They need to have quality control when the more experienced cooks are not working..“

“Love it there always a good time“

“Excellent service. Mute food was superb and the atmosphere was just right.
It was my sons’ birthday.
He actually did a search on google and found the place and we all really enjoyed it.

Thank you for a wonderful experience to the staff especially the waitress.

We will be back again and again.“

“absolutely love this place, been there multiple times with friends and always leave happy with a full belly. great music, great decoration, GREAT FOOD, great drinks. my only wish is that the servers checked in a little more frequently. Maggi helped us last time and made sure we had everything we needed!

Parking: there are usually spots out front, otherwise there is a lot in the back“

“Writing a good review I am running the risk the place will get crowded and I will not be able to get a table. Excellent authentic food, very good cocktails, friendly service, Mexico-like atmosphere, very reasonable prices. The staff makes you feel at home from the minute you walk in. Cannot wait to return.“

“WOW. Wow wow wow. Amazing burritos, the salsas are delicious and the price is super reasonable. Zero complaints! I was looking for a burrito spot close by to where I was driving through and this came up first. I didn’t realize till I arrived that it was inside the mall and it was so worth going inside for. 100% will be back!!!“

“I really enjoyed my experience at TACO EL CHINGON! Everything that appears in that bowl was amazing- it even reminded me of my abuela’s rice! The burrito el chingon was alright though. I got my food pretty fast considering the amount of people that were there at the time. I recommend this place to everyone, and will be back soon!“

“Excellent meal and wait staff“

“I’m obsessed with the new team at Nelly’s. Alba and her team are whipping up delicious food that we can’t get enough of. If you’re looking for well made Mexican, you have to give Nelly’s a shot.“

“Kitchen open till 2am great eats and atmosphere“

“This was a genuinely positive experience. This was the best mexican cuisine I've had in a while and the prices were amazing. I got a carne asada bowl for $14 that was large enough for dinner and lunch. I never write reviews but I felt compelled to because of how small the establishment is. The service is great and they genuinely deserve more business for the cuisine they offer at the price they offer. Significantly better than competitors (chipotle, qdoba) at the same, if not lower, price!

Parking: Side of the building in the shopping strip, usually open and not busy. Several free lots around if parking isn't available- all in walking distance.“

“Best Delivery Food Around! Food is always hot, delivery is extremely quick, people are great and the food is the BEST!!!!“

“It’s a small local place for a quick Mexican - no table service, just order at counter and use the table/seating to eat on your own. Not much for ambiance but great for takeouts. Food is fresh and good and reasonable. They have self serve sauces from mild to hot. Horchata is great.“

“Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Fat Boy Burrito Commack! If I could give Fat Boy Burrito in Commack more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment my husband and I walked in, we were greeted with the most welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The energy of the place is incredible, and you can tell right away that this is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place where customers truly matter. Now, let’s talk about the food—WOW! Every bite was an explosion of flavor. The burritos were packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and crafted with care. You can tell they put real thought into their menu, ensuring every item is packed with bold, delicious flavors. The portions? Generous. The quality? Top-notch. This is hands-down the best burrito spot we’ve ever been to! But what really set this experience apart was the incredible customer service, especially from the owner, Tony. He personally took the time to come over and chat with us, making us feel like family. It’s rare to see an owner so involved and genuinely invested in their customers’ experiences. Tony’s passion for his restaurant and his customers shines through in everything he does. He made sure we were happy with our meal, shared some great conversation, and left a lasting impression that will keep us coming back again and again. If you’re looking for phenomenal food, exceptional service, and an owner who truly cares, look no further than Fat Boy Burrito in Commack. Tony and his team have created something special here, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! We will definitely be back—again and again!“

“Might be a small restaurant but very clean, great service and food was delicious (so were the margaritas ?) Hannah was our waitress and she suggested her a personal favorite for the table and was awesome!! Thank you - I’m sure we’ll be back!“

“Love the food obviously 🙄 love the location delicious 😋“

“My burrito was the size of a 10 pound baby. All of the food was delicious! 🤤“

“Had amazing cinco de Mayo!! Thanks for the t shirts ! Great service great food best drinks and beyond great dessert.“

“I had stopped coming here for a long time as The kids working here had a very bad habit of shaking all the food off the spoon sort of like chipotle does now. I recently gave it another try, and I have to say the food was prepared Generously, the place was very clean, and the service, unlike before was now friendly. The place is under new management, her name is Vilma and she has turned this place around. Better food, better portions and great service for much less money than lousy Taco Bell.“

“I love this place. The food is so Fresh and Delicious and most importantly consistent. The owner and staff are very accommodating and there are plenty of Veg. Options.“

“#1 most important thing for me is cleanliness if i dont see them using gloves or if they operate the register then serve you the food thats a big no no for me. But none of that was going on they are clean! They have lime and steak, pretty good little spicy. I get the cilantro rice in a bowl 🥣 with toppings extra cilantro steak and some chicken. You know I need me some protein. Children meal includes juicy box and 2 adult bowls like 30 bucks split the boll and you have an awesome deal, lol. Lines are short but when it gets busy it moves fast. Can't tell you the condition of the bathrooms, though never had to use them. You can dine outside they play music . It's safe area and when your done you can hit up Starbucks, it works out. Good management I'm sure.“

“This is a Mexican grocery store with a small kitchen and hot plate area. It is not a dining destination. The staff is friendly and the food fresh. If you have a craving for tacos, tortas or a quick ethnic bite, then stop in and get your fix. If you want ambiance, the colorful themes and all the fixings, go elsewhere.“

“Went in for the first time on Friday and the food was fresh, homemade and delicious. They were very nice and welcoming. We went back tonight and once again they were helpful in what to order. The food was the same delicious and homemade. The salsa… just yummy!! Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Quaint little 8 table restaurant serving up some sizable and authentic mexican dishes. Doesn’t hurt it also offers a beautiful beach front view of Long Island sound.The cocktails are prepared well, appetizers fresh and if I must say, the carne asada is mind blowing good.I’ve been coming here for few years now and the friendly atmosphere makes it all worth while.It’s a bit out of the way, but trust me, they’re worth the trip.“

“This place is great for authentic Mexican food. I ordered a chorizo taco and Cubana sandwich. My friend ordered a couple tacos and and a tostada. (See photos)On a Sunday afternoon it was very busy, which I didn't really expect, but I took it as a good sign. My friend that took me there has been there several times, it is currently her favourite taco spot ??“

“awesome menu items great service“

“I moved away from LI and I think about this place allllll the time. The tacos are so juicy and delicious. I really miss it and next time I visit I'm def ordering some food from there!! I can't wait 😂“

“We came for Sunday brunch. The food was delicious. The drinks were just on par and we had to deep fried ice cream for dessert. Everything was great will be back again.“

“The best place for Mexican food. The guys that run the place are top notch.“

“RUN do not walk to Burrito Marriachi, Wantagh! This place has the most delicious burritos, tacos and quesadillas. I want to highlight their lobster burrito. Oh MY Goodness! This was the most delicious I have ever had! I’ve had this dish both in a burrito and a bowl, both were exquisite. Order a margarita (or 2) and thank me later :) The service is 5 star, and the family is soo sweet. The owner even gave us an order of churros on the house. We can’t wait for our next visit!“

“good food , quick service“

“This place has been here forever. It has very good food made by a great guy that works hard. The food is made fresh each time, so the taste is excellent. The atmosphere is more like his family home, very welcoming with his kids sometimes hanging out. There could be room issues for larger groups. Better for take-“

“The food is really 5 star, except that it is a little spicy. Most of the dressings, plus the guac and other items have a touch more jalapeño than I would prefer...but the quality and variety are GREAT!

Vegetarian options: I'm actually vegan and love the options! I just wish they were a smidge less spicy!“

“The food was great. Great seasoning on everything. Mashed yukka was a little salty but very tasty. When I first walked in, I was passed by several people with no acknowledgment, I finally asked someone if I sat myself, and she guided me to a table. After that everything was fine. Waitress was very attentive and personable. The food was awesome. I will definitely return with friends.“
