50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Saint James

“This place is absolutely amazing. I came in just to grab a quick bite to eat but everything looks so delicious.

I don't know what they call it but I tried a cactus leaf and it was delicious. It has such a flavor that is similar to I guess an artichoke but also very different at the exact same time.

I had two chicken tacos and one chorizo. I love the fact that they have a bar where you can add as much salsa and toppings as you want.

So delicious.

The place is so clean and spotless it's not even funny. Guys behind the counter are awesome and I already be back.“

“Absolutely amazing spot! By far the best tacos on Long Island. The food is authentic, the service is excellent, and you can really taste the difference with their house made tortillas. This has become my go to taco spot. The outdoor seating is a great bonus and makes for an even better dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“At first glance you see this taco truck but when you notice that the line is long it could only mean that the food is delicious and it was waiting about 7-10 min but they give you a pager so you can wait in your car or outside they do have seats to eat or wait right there at the location will be going back soon“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“Maria’s is and has been our go to local restaurant since they opened in 2003. I recently hosted a 70th Birthday party for my husband there with 30 guests and everyone had a great time.
Maria, the owner, Meghan and Erin assisted with the planning and were very accommodating. The party menu was extensive with many choices for appetizers, entrees and desserts. They even created a menu to put at each table setting for guests to choose from. Our waiter and all the staff did a great job, always with a smile on their face. The food and drinks were all delicious, and most guests had leftovers to take home with them. One of the highlights at Maria’s is when celebrating a birthday, all the staff come to the table to sing and make music. It really adds to the festivities.
Our sincere thanks to Maria and her staff for going above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday party special and one to remember!“

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“this place is a gem. the food is fresh and tasty. the people are friendly. variety of food...burgers, tacos, halal (tasty chicken over basmati rice with lettuce and toppings) ....too much to list.... we've ordered from here twice and will be going back often!!

We’re grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood!“

“We come here often for lunch. The buffalo and Vanessa burritos are our favs plus the quesadillas are the best around and huge. This review is specifically about catering order I placed over the weekend. We made a very last minute order for a taco party pack and Avocados went out of their way to accommodate. The food was great and large portions as always.“

“I have lived in Patchogue for 25 years. I remember when there was no Mexican Food in Patchogue at all! Lindo Mexico is a *special* place. There's fancier, there's more festive... but Lindo Mexico is *special*. If you want off-the-charts deliciousness that is authentic, go to Lindo Mexico. Proud to have this restaurant in my village. It is an authentic Mexican Food experience that will make you feel like you are there: in Mexico. That is the highest compliment I can think of. Thanks, Lindo Mexico!“

“I've come here a few times . Every time the food is great . I've had huaraches , chicken tacos , baleadas , papusas , rice and beans , and avocado salad . The owner speaks English so it's easy to communicate what I want and he's friendly. The prices are good too ! I eat at a lot of latin food places to compare .“
