21 Best Mexican Restaurants in Queens

“We had such a wonderful experience hosting a semi-private event at Mayahuel for a 40th birthday celebration! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Marc was an absolute pleasure to work with; incredibly accommodating, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire planning process.

The staff was warm, attentive, and professional, making sure our group was well taken care of all evening. The food was absolutely delicious, the cocktails were fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect for our celebration.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! A huge thank you to Marc and the entire Mayahuel team for helping make such a special occasion so memorable. We can’t wait to come back and host another event with them. Highly recommend!“

“A true family-run gem! The food was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was warm and attentive. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. It’s always a pleasure to support a local family business that consistently delivers great quality and hospitality. Highly recommended!“

“Low key spot for authentic Mexican food! I got 2 tacos, horchata and flan. Tacos & horchata were very good. Flan was a bit weird the texture but overall great spot. Only reason why I’m giving it 4 stars is because my boyfriend got a quesadilla and he doesn’t eat sour cream but it didn’t say that there would be sour cream on it, on the menu. I would come back tho! Just make sure you ask what each item comes with if you’re allergic/can’t eat certain things“

“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.“

“We met with friends at this restaurant for dinner. we heard about this spot from quite a few people. Well, it was a winning. The crew were very polite and we had a fantastic feeling. The food was just great. We loved this restaurant a lot and we shall definitely come back again. We recommend this place to all.“

“😎Our go to spot for quick eats and very grateful that a gentleman helped me on Superbowl Sunday even though they were almost ready to close. Neighborhood spot to cherish 🩷“

“Now, I usually don’t leave a review but I took one bite and that shit took my soul out. I don’t know if I was extra hungry today or what, but I ordered the jerk chicken + creamy avocado sauce + chimichurri sauce and my god.. Was heavenly. Also got some wings too. Mango habanero 🔥“

“Pizza la Mexicana muy buena se los recomiendo“

“I got a salad made with rice and beans and I saw they offered roasted Brussels and sweet potatoes. I tried the Brussels, they were amazing and turn a lackluster airport meal into one of favorite of my trip. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-30“

“First time here!!!! the Alexia, Omar were amazing 😁🥰 the steaks, jalapeño, rice beans, salads plantains & margaritas were exactly the feeling of Mexico......my sister & came from Brooklyn to try out different flavor ......we will return 😊....to Queens .....Sunday was amazing !!!!“

“EL PASILLO is such a wonderful place. It's that rare bar for the working class, the type of bar that isn't seen that often anymore because of all those new "hipster/fancy" bars being created or old bars turning into that as-well. It's the type of place you go after a hard days work, to be able to relax, and forget all those struggles a day at your job may provide. It's might be a a bit small, but not lacking in comfort at the same time.It's not only that, it's a place where anybody who wants to have a good time and relax can go. It's a place unchanged by time, but sometimes that's what people need. Sometimes people need a place that they can rely on, and be sure will always be there when you need it/the way you need it. The owner takes care of his bar and the people who go there. He's there everyday greeting customers, treating them like family, while embracing new customers as-well. I recommend anyone who finds this is the best place for them, to try it out.“

“I love their burritos and elote! The owner is a very reasonable and professional person also. There was an issue with my phone number we had to discuss and he was very willing to chat with me regarding not being able to call in and order for pick up. I’ve been a very loyal customer to their other location and recently moved to the area and they did not let me down.“

“The food is great! I especially enjoy the chicken quesadilla. I have tried this at different restaurants, but none taste better than this establishment! Not only are the tortillas made fresh, but the grilled chicken is seasoned perfectly! Don't forget to ask for the red sauce because it just elevates the quesadilla ? Enjoy.

Parking: Parking is a hassle. But if you drive around the corner you may be able to find free parking. If you park on Queens Blvd, you will need to pay a meter.“

“Excellent customer service and greatly enjoyed the delicious tacos. Keep it up!!“

“The food is delicious, the best tacos, tlacoyos and soups, but also the fresh waters are delicious, my best place to pick up food and take it home and enjoy a movie.I recommend ordering for pickup because they are always very busy with orders, so you don't wait as long.But it's worth the waitThey always have specials ask about thatI hope my review is useful to you.“

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

“Can't complain about the food, but the lady who takes your orders be spaced out sometimes. You have to tell to get her attention behind the glass. But the food is fresh I usually get 6 steak soft tacos and 6 chicken soft tacos. Only true downfall is the parking its impossible to find a parking spot in that area“

“The restaurant's design choices feel intentional and cohesive. These workers delivered perfect service. You'll notice the freshness, good seasoning, and proper cooking immediately. The kitchen team knows food and the serving team knows people. Discovering this restaurant was fortunate!“

“Very good music, excellent customer service but the food is priced high for the very small portion of food, for example Salmon a la Plancha is a grilled salmon piece that if you picked it up you would surely see the other side of the street, the tongue in serious sauce tongue swimming in sauce 3 portion the size of a baby's hand... you won't see me coming to eat there anymore... thank you very much excellent taste... but small portion for the prices...“

“I've been going here since October of 2022 so far 3 times we always walk in and wait for the guys to cook it and it tastes so yummy I love the food and every time I visit my boyfriend I love to eat their food the prices are fair and the food is amazing thank you I enjoy every spoonful“
