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.“

“❤ My husband and I love Curbside in South Hempstead. Their crunchwraps are big enough to share. Our favorite is the Cowboy Crunchwrap with extra sauteed onions. I could eat only this for the rest of my life, provided, of course, we have sour cream!“

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

From the moment we sat down, Sam was friendly, attentive, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was exceptional, and Sam went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable.

It’s not every day you come across someone who genuinely cares about their customers and takes pride in providing great service. Sam made us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout our entire meal.

“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....“

“Wow what a fantastic find! We decided to try this new Mexican place, and it did not disappoint. Every single dish was packed with flavor. The tamale was perfectly moist and savory, and the taco Pescadero was fresh and perfectly seasoned. We also devoured the steak quesadilla, which was cheesy and full of tender steak. Don't even get me started on the empanadas—both the chili empanada and the chicken and cheese empanada were phenomenal. We can't wait to go back and try more!“

I MEAN IT!!! The drinks too are the bomb and they don’t skimp out on the feel good drinks if you know what i mean. Carlos is usually our waiter when we come and he makes sure to take care of us! LOVE THIS PLACE“

“Come here daily for salads, burrito bowls, Greek bowls. Pop Salad and El Diez menus are a great deal under 10 dollars (guacamole is free) they even have a combo with chips and drink for $10. Portions are big. You can customize everything, and it tells you in the app if anything has gluten, dairy, or nuts. Hard to review a restaurant that has this level of variety, but the healthy dishes are definitely as good as anywhere else for less money and faster service. The fast pass subscription gets you money discounted on every order automatically so it pays for itself if you come regularly which isn't a problem at a place that has everything and is open until almost midnight every day. The benefit of Wonder having everything is that the entire family can get whatever type of food they want from one location and you don't have to agree on what to have for dinner or lunch anymore. No need to wait on a line at Chipotle anymore.“

“We had a great experience at El Mercadito! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented with vibrant colors. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

The portion sizes were excellent, giving great value for the price. Everything we ordered was full of flavor, and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommend El Mercadito if you’re looking for amazing food and outstanding service!

My only feedback is that there is just one restroom shared by both men and women. The restroom was very clean, but personally, I would have preferred separate restrooms.“

“Adobo always has wonderful service, gracious portions, and the student discounts are so convenient for college students and high schoolers. My boyfriend and I are regulars and have never had any complaints. A nice and easy atmosphere for grab and go, even at late hours. The workers are always welcoming and genuine. Manju is such an inviting worker with a kind smile and sweet greeting every time we walk in. Highly recommend adobo for filling but healthy meals.“

“Excellent service great food“

“I just stopped by this location for the first time, as I normally go to the East Islip location. One of the owners cashed me out at the register and was so kind and welcoming! The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service was exceptional. I had such a great experience and will definitely be back! 😊“

“Excellent quality, excellent service, guac is not extra!

They treat you with respect and dignity. When you order triple chicken, they give you triple. They do not scrimp.

This is the only Mexican chain restaurant that I will go to. The other one's portions are disrespectfully small.

QDoba gets an A+“

This was a great find, Added to our favorite place to eat in LI. Coming back soon.“
