23 Best Mexican Restaurants near Pleasant Valley

“I'm not one for writing reviews. My wife and I tried this place last night and we think this is hands down the best place for Mexican food for miles. I loved the birria tacos. They were packed not only with meat but with flavor. These beat the ones I've had in San Diego by a long shot. My have said the carne asada was the best she's had in awhile. The place is clean and bright with counters to sit at. Order at the register, pick up when they call your name. Nothing fancy, just great food.“

“Best Mexican food in the area. Isiah was one of our servers and took care of us. The entire staff was attentive and made sure our drinks were full and that we had everything we needed. It was our first time here, we will definitely be back. Chips and salsa came out hot and fresh.“

“Sabor has quickly become a family favorite. The food is amazing - flavorful, fresh, and substantial portions. There’s always enough for lunch the next day if you have enough willpower not to eat the whole delicious meal. The restaurant is tiny but clean and consistent with the quality of the food. Don’t miss this hidden gem!“

“Really homey local bar owned by a brother and sister combo. The sister was there and really personable and informative. They kept the decor ( mostly) from the prior bar and that is a huge plus. Food was good, I had the wings which were done perfectly and my wife had the reuben. We will be coming back!“

“Everything we had was delicious! The fried quesadillas were like lighter, tastier versions of an empanada and we loved them! Really enjoyed eating a full meal that felt light at a Mexican restaurant. Will definitely be returning whenever we're in town!“

“I have been coming to Salsa since I was a toddler. My family would come every Saturday night and always had the best time here. Now, as an 18 year old, I bring all of my friends to experience this welcoming and comfortable environment. The owners are always so kind and even remember my order! The fiesta tacos are my favorite :).“

“I used to work in a Spanish neighborhood and would get tacos and authentic food. Tortilleria exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Chile Rellenos. I also got the Mexican cheese in the case on the counter for my chips and it was delicious. You will not be disappointed. So yummyFantastic food“

“I guess we are becoming regulars at this place. Food and service are consistently good. Portions are huge and very affordable prices! Last time we went our son wasn't in the mood for Mexican food but we dragged him anyway and he end up getting chicken wings, and I tell you, oh, my, those chicken wings were great! Very crispy and tasty! We had ordered in the past steak tacos, guacamole (we ask less on onions), different enchiladas, steak. I only didn't like pork tacos.“

“We had a FANTASTIC lunch today at La Porta Azul. The food was SPOT on. Best wings I have ever had - we had habanero and barbecue. The tacos were delicious (Baja shrimp, mahi and steak. And the steak burrito wowowow! Drinks were also delicious. This didn’t disappoint - loved every last bit of food we ate.The owner was awesome. A gentleman, fun, personable and outgoing. He made great recommendations and was beyond accommodating to me and my family as I had my two young toddlers with me. I was reassured multiple times it’s okay, they’re kids and that was really nice. The bathroom and dining area were clean and fresh and my boys really enjoyed the cooks/chefs giving them little apple slices when they walked by the window. A double whammy with the on the house ice cream for them as well. THANK YOU!We really enjoyed ourselves and we plan on making this our new go to for date nights. We are 40 mins away, but we’d drive farther to go here.“

“I freaking love this place! It's really good food that's not too pretentious like other places on main. There's a lot of good food in Poughkeepsie and el Azteca is among the best ones.They have a daily special that can really save you some money too. It's a shame they don't sell beer otherwise I would eat here ALL THE TIME!I had the flan!“

“We discovered this little gem two years ago on New Year's Day, after a round-trip walk on the Walkway Over Hudson, and have wanted to come back ever since (we live an hour's drive away). Their food was delicious, fresh and with generous portions. Their free salsas are so tasty you'd want to buy some by the pint. This New Year's Day, we did the same routine - Walkway then El Paso. The food is just as delicious, the portions just as lavish, and the owner just as cheery, helpful and generous. Very few eateries are open on NYD in this little township, but any open door is a heartwarming place! We'll be back next New Year's Day!“

“Two words: Pozole and Mole. Go. Try both for a wonderful explosion of flavor. The Pozole was chock full of hominy, pork, cabbage and more with a rich and spicy broth. The chicken mole had a deep rich texture that lingered on the taste buds. Service was excellent and the bill was very reasonable.“

“My wife and I had Flores cater our wedding in October. We had the best food experience with the Flores team. We absolutely feel in love with the menu at our tasting and the food at our wedding was cooked to perfection. We got married at Locust Grove, which has a full kitchen setup.Our guest raved about the food for weeks! (We’re still hearing about it from friends and family). The beef tenderloin was fantastic, our guests raved about how perfect it was cooked, a true feat especially when prepared in mass (150 guests). Everyone loved the chicken empanadas, the mojo chicken, the charcuterie cones, and the tuna tartar. We opted for a vegetarian pállela for our vegan/vegetarian friends and it was a hit. The deal was sealed when everyone lined up for seconds of dessert, Flan and Ice Cream.The staff was also exceptional and we want to shout out Melissa and Danielle for making it the best day of our lives. Thank you Austin for making it the best meal for us and our guests. We highly recommend going with Flores for your wedding our other events.“

“I'm originally from new mexico, I know what good authentic Mexican food taste like. Even though there may be many Mexican restaurants in the area and Beyond, this restaurant is close to home for me. I would definitely recommend the atmosphere inside makes me feel right at home. The beautiful tables the paintings the colors reminded me of home I'm addicted and I can't turn back“

“This was my Boyfriend and I first time trying this place and it was absolutely amazing the staff is very friendly and we went at a time were it wasn’t so busy .I have to say this was the best Mexican food we have ever had. We will definitely be going there again “

“I was seated immediately and served promptly. I ordered a fresh strawberry margarita, and the strawberries in the drink were fresh and real. I ordered huaraches Pastor, and it was absolutely delicious. Anybody who thinks this food isn’t great , clearly doesn’t know the difference between Americanized, Mexican food, and the real deal.“

“We stopped by here super randomly on our way home from camping. Beautiful flowers and very well kept garden got our attention. Food is beyond amazing, serving sizes are just perfect and prices just right. What really impressed us was a dessert tho - we didn’t eat better churros in a while. Absolute perfection. Seems to be small family business, the lady working there was beyond kind and helpful. 10/10 recommend, and get churros for sure!“

“Qué comida deliciosa! I just enjoyed the best gorditas I've ever tasted, along with a very tasty batida of mamey (sort of like a milkshake, and mamey is a pinkish-orange tropical fruit with a mellow but exotic flavor). This place is easy to miss because it's just an unassuming little spot without a lot of garish signage, located on a stretch of Main Street that has seen better days. But you'll notice that it's usually well attended by local people in the know who like really good authentic Mexican food. There's a reason it's so popular: the food is amazing. Es lo mejor!“
