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.“

“Good to go anytime. Fast fresh and the way you want it.“

“Amazing and deliciously 🤤 addictive . The fundito with chorizo is so good !!!“

“Food was outstanding, just finished my meal and had to write a review. Hidden gem as another said. Probably ordering again Sunday.“

“So I only gave it a four, because even though they have some quesadillas that are made or corn like it is done traditionally they do sell a lot of Tex Mex style dishes . Their tacos of carnitas are pretty good. But I tried also their Al pastor tacos and they were a little bland. The sauces were awesome!“

“The food and drinks were delicious! I encourage you to visit and order with an open mind. Don’t expect the flavors to match what you’re used to because they won’t. The service was great, and we truly felt this is a place where we’d love to just relax and hang out.“

“Awesome food. So delicious“

“I brought the family here for dinner on Saturday. The place was peaceful and the food was excellent. Everyone cleaned their plates. Had some issues with the service, but the owner fixed it and everything else was great!

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

“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.“

“great food, fun atmosphere and great music!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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..“

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“

We had the mango salad and vegetable enchiladas (able to accommodate vegan request). Also had the Los Tres Mosqueteros (not vegan). We will be coming back for sure. You need to try this place!!

“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.“

“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.“

“The restaurant has a family-friendly environment. The foods are delicious. Not only that, but the portion size are neither too large or too small. The waiters are all friendly and helpful. The only issue is the seating. There are not many tables or seats in the restaurant. It is not too much of an issue as most of the meals are done in 15-20 minutes. However, I would recommend to plan accordingly.“

“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.“

“Best place I’ve ever eaten! Best of both worlds Mexican and Italian.“

“We went to Fat Boys for the first time today!! Adam suggested his favorite burrito with grilled chicken avocado cheese corn It was the most amazing lunch. It was huge. We shared it and he made the best presentation !! He checked on us many times to see if we needed anything. It id located In Bellmore and we will be back!!“

“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....“

“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-“

“good food , quick service“

“Visiting from miami im new to the chain and the attention to detail and variety is why this place is special. The hot queso sauce and tortilla salad where bomb!!!! This place would give chipotle a serious problem. Please to FL...I would be there regularly.“

“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 ??“

“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.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! Someone recommended I try Chalupas now it’s my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I’ve had their burrito bowls (steak and chicken) and the steak platter both were delicious. Everything is fresh. 1000% better than chipotle. I ordered online and came in to pick it up. The girl behind the counter that gave me my food was very sweet.“

“Friendly and informative sales persons !!!“

“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.“

“Might just be the best damn tacos in Long Island. Out of the world tacos, churros and bowls. The soft taco shells whatever they are, are outrageous. And oh great veggie selections.
