50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Queens

“The best Mexican food I've had in New York. Great nachos, great tacos, quesadillas, really everything I've gotten has been great.

My wife and I come here for taco Tuesdays and everytime we're in the area.

Solid date night, solid chill bar, solid dinner spot.“

“Saludo banda estoy aquí Las chilangas les recomiendo que la quesadilla 🌮están súper delicioso vengan ah pasar con sus familia y el servicio es espectacular.“

“My favorite place. I love to go there everyday.“

“When we review restaurants it should be in the context of what they are, and what they are for. This is a beyond serviceable lunch spot that seems to invalidate existence of the nearby chipotle, and possibly even the nearby sweet green.

The food is fresh, the prices are reasonable and the portions are immense. The staff is friendly and the place is clean.

The food is also, by the way, quite tasty.

There are a lot of lunch options in the neighborhood but this is clearly one of the best if you are seeking a chipotle style meal.

I feel as if given the context I have no choice but to give this place five stars“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Service is okay but not great but food is very good“

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

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Quick eats spot that I think is underrated. Amount of food is reasonable for the price and not to mention delicious. I ordered takeout but there are about 3 tables in the restaurant for dine-in. Also, it’s a mom and pop shop and their daughter works the register. They’re super respectful and sweet. You should definitely go support them and try their yummy food!“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! The meat is juicy and flavorful. Really hit the spot. It’s hard to believe we have authentic Mexican cuisine in east queens. But this place hits. We will definitely come back

Huge bonus to the service and free tortillas chips & salsa

There special items on weekends such as Taco de oreja and Taco de lengua“

“One of my favorite place to grab lunch during lunch break. Usually like their burrito bowl. Like the food but front cashiers behavior is not nice. All the time they make faces as if they are tired and not at all welcoming.
Need to work on that.
Thanks“

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

“awesome menu items great service“

“Muy rico 😋 todo las bebidas son muy exotica’s 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻“

“It was a great evening celebrating my mom's birthday. The appetizers, entree, and dessert were great. The service was attentive, friendly and informative. The only thing I would change is that all the entrees should be served with the sides of rice and beans.“

“This cute quirky Mexican deli / restaurant. It's not really the place to sit but kind of is a place to sit and have a really good meal. It's a reliable place to grab and go. I like it cuz it has a place to sit and I need a place to sit and eat my egg potato bacon platter...It's got a deli atmosphere with teeny tiny tables drapped in Mexican tablecloths topped with authentic food served by cheerful people who cook it. They smile when they serve it to you. Unlike the overpriced diner on Broadway where she's just about throws it at you well she's looking at the next table.I like my toast almost burned and here I get it exactly the way I want it slathered and butter. They're super friendly and professional. I enjoy watching the regulars come in with their unique order. They have amazing Mexican food. You can also get egg on a roll. This place is squished into the first floor of a corner shop and does good business. They play good music and have good vibes! They have fair prices“

“We sat by the bar, where our bartender recommended an amazing seafood appetizer special for the night; it blew our minds. We also ate the broccolini and steak and were amazed at the flavors of the dishes. The drinks and dessert, also recommended by our bartender, topped off the night. Treat yourself to an amazing meal with friends or family where you’ll be in for a memorable experience.“

“Great find near our hotel in Long Island City. The atmosphere was warm and lively, service was friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. From the chips and guacamole to the main dishes and great drinks. The food was flavorful, well-presented, and honestly exceeded expectations.

The only reason for not giving five stars is a very important safety detail. The churros are listed on the menu as being served with chocolate, but what was actually served was Nutella. Thankfully, my partner noticed immediately, as someone in our party has a tree nut allergy. This could have resulted in a hospital visit if it hadn’t been caught in time. He mentioned it to the manager on our way out.

We really enjoyed our meal overall, but menu accuracy with allergens is critical. Hopefully this is addressed, because aside from that scary moment, the experience was excellent and this place has a lot going for it.“

“Absolutely a gem! The service by Katherine was amazing! So sweet! The food was muy delicioso! Fresh guacamole and shrimp tacos! Strawberry margaritas and Micheladas! Exceptionally clean! Will be back when I visit NY again! May be back before I head home to MD once my daughter gets home tomorrow!

feliz acción de gracias
Happy Thanksgiving!“

“First time here, got to try the carne asada tacos and carnitas chalupas, they were great! Juicy and tender. Our only issue was when we arrived there wasn’t any music playing for a while and out of nowhere loud music started playing which threw us off as we were sitting by a speaker. Will probably do take out moving forward because these tacos are definitely seeing me again.“

“We tried Taco Express for the first time today. The food was delicious. The staff is very courteous and friendly. We informed them that this was our first time at the restaurant and they made us feel like at home. I highly recommend trying them out. You will keep going there again and again.“

“The menu had so many great options! The food is great, we ordered beef tacos, a mixed platter, mango mock tails and a boba tea. The man who helped us was friendly and welcoming! My family and I had a great time. We will be visiting again!“

“Lovely quaint restaurant next to the train station. I was interested in a cecina plate, which was not on the menu, but the owner graciously cooked to order for me. The mole veracruzano was different, unique and strong in flavor; unlike the mole I grew up eating. The mole enchiladas had plenty of shredded chicken. Very pleased with the service too. Would recommend, stop by!“

“This bar/restaurant is the best. Great drinks. Great food. Great people!! Do not miss Lime & Salt!!“

“Edit: 12/2025 We came back and had another amazing time. As always the food is great and good portions. We left feeling great. Also the Jamaica drink was delicious.

We had a wonderful experience with dining, service and food. We will definitely come back with the rest of the family to enjoy this restaurant.

Tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa con la comida, el servicio y la comida. Definitivamente volveremos con el resto de la familia para disfrutar de este restaurante.“

“Order one of everything and have a tamale fest. everything is delicious.“

“Fabuloso Lugar la comida Es deliciosa tengo años de venir a este restaurante se los recomiendo👍“

“Today I celebrated my daughter’s graduation at Blue Tijuana & Barzola House of Ceviche. The service was excellent! The staff is polite and attentive, going above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience. All the guest loved the food. They made our event memorable. We will be back.“

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

“Las mejores chalupas !!!sin duda volveremos muy pronto 😋🥰“

“My go to birria spot!! Found it here at 36th ave near my school. A family run restaurant with a variety of authentic Mexican foods that are fairly cheap compared to other spots. The atmosphere is subtle and comforting; cleanliness is not bad— but also not perfect. The service is very nice and the food is always made fresh. A nice hidden-in-the-wall type of spot.“

“La comida súper rica 100% recomendable“

“My family and I ordered a quesadilla mixta, a chicken quesadilla, and tacos with carne asada, al pastor, and birria plus chips and guacamole and everything was absolutely incredible. Every item tasted fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Easily a 100 out of 10. I usually order for pickup, but this was my first time trying delivery and it arrived in just 20 minutes. Fast, fresh, and seriously delicious. We’ll definitely be ordering again!!! Un review de una familia Colombia que aprecia la comida Autentica Mexicana, Muchas Gracias!“

“Absolutely delicious food!“

“Some of the best tacos we’ve ever had!“

“I wanted to share a great lunch spot I just discovered. I stopped by for a quick bite and was really impressed.

I had a burrito bowl with chorizo, and the quality of the food was delicious. If you're looking for a quick and authentic Mexican meal, whether during work or just passing by, I highly recommend checking out this place.“

“Wonderful place to eat good food. Is respectful and friendly most of all well attended.“

“Karaoke, dinner and drinks always makes a great time better.“

“I love coming here. Great juices! Love it very much! ImThey have passion fruit juice, pineapple juice, coconut juice, horchata, and cantaloupe/melon juice etc.! 💕 It is delicious! My friend orders the Mexican hotdog and loves it. It comes with ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, onions, tomatoes. He said it is very good! My other friend orders the “ Tacos dorados” with chicken and they come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and sour cream on top. My friend says these are very good too. Maybe could use more flavor he says but still they are very good! Photos are attached! They have a good Mexican steak torta which is a steak sandwich that comes with Mexican cheese, beans, guacamole, a sauce, lettuce, tomato, it is very good and I like it!!! The yellow lemonade in the photos with the steak torta is not from them. I also love their brown juice which is “tamarindo / tamarind” !!! Their other juices are very good as well !!!! 😋“

“Exelente lugar y buen ambiente 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Not too long ago I came here and ordered the molcajete, and it honestly blew me away. It came out sizzling hot, packed with steak, chicken, shrimp, and cactus in this smoky, flavorful sauce. Every bite was delicious, rich, tender, and perfectly seasoned.

You can tell the food’s made with care and love. The staff was friendly, the vibe was relaxed. I’m still thinking about that molcajete. definitely something I’ll be coming back for.“

“Weekends bring such crowds that reservations become necessary. Their employees checked on us regularly. They used special components and served quickly. They focus on consistent quality and friendly interactions. The complete meal was excellent.“

“This was a very last minute option for me and my girlfriend and we wanted tacos so bad. We found this spot by northern blvd and the first impression we got was how the team were so welcoming, then we knew that we were in the right place!!
The tacos and the tortillas were so delightful the food was fresh and the sauces proponerle made!!
Definitely will come back for more!“

“Im at 5 burros always an awesome time. Can you say CHULETA? Chef Jaime has outdone himself.This is the most badass awesome chuleta I have seen in my whole life.“

“They follow up properly when they bring new dishes. Enhancing everything else, the staff was approachable and helpful. This place offers reasonable costs for where it sits. You can discover flavors that feel invented here. My review is complete.“

“We had a great experience tonight at a Fiesta in East Bridgewater. Our Waitress, Jenny, was was exceptional! She was so friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were outstanding and everything was so clean and inviting . We will return!“
