22 Best Mexican Restaurants near Slingerlands

“Their staff: top notch. Atmosphere: gorgeous, fun and welcoming. Food: consistently delicious, take out OR dine-in. Drinks: For truly authentic margaritas, your favorites and more you can never go wrong. The best part about this place is their obvious commitment to excellence, and dedication to their customers' experience. My favorite part: They have so many gluten, dairy free and vegan options. For authentic and absurdly delicious Mexican fare, this alone truly sets them apart. And their options continue to expand! I have a problem with tolerating a lot of unusual ingredients and they even go out of their way to omit garlic and onion in my dishes. (You can imagine the extra burden on the restaurant and my simple ask of the possibility led to them always going out to their way to make sure my orders are gluten, dairy, onion and garlic free (and still just fricking amazing, 2 extra meals in leftovers). Their social media director (?) Is brilliant, and all their events, social engagement are impressive and I'm just thrilled to have this gem of an establishment here to patronize.“

“We had a group of 8 for brunch for my mother’s birthday and our server today was William. He was attentive, had great energy, and made fabulous suggestions for drinks. I will ask for him next time we come and if you’re able to request a server, request him. They were also very kind to put the football game on the tv. The food was great as always. Thank you William for helping to make her birthday wonderful!!“

“The atmosphere, menu selection and food was good. There is quite a wide variety on the menu. The only reason why 4 stars for food is because the taco salad and dessert was small and tacos should come with sour cream included. Overall, I would go again.“

“We’ve been coming here since we moved back to NY in 2017. Food is AMAZING! Servers are AMAZING! Margaritas rock.“

“I ordered a Chicken Chimichanga and my husband ordered a burrito. Both were delish !“

“Had a late lunch/early dinner yesterday. I ordered the “Langosta El Mariachi”. OMG!!! It was beyond delicious! The lobster tails were stuffed with shrimp and scallops with a creamy white sauce and cheese... the green beans seasoned perfectly with fresh garlic, the rice was cooked to perfection. The meal was perfectly plated and resembled a piece of art. I enjoyed every morsel. The lobster,shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant has a wonderful and warm ambiance and it is very clean. I highly recommend everyone to experience their own dining experience here. You won’t be disappointed. Thank You ElMariachi !!!!!“

“I've come here twice now and quite literally these are some of the best tacos I've had in my life!! I got the birria, al pastor, and carne asada as well as the pollo the second time and can't imagine ever getting tacos anywhere else. It takes a bit of time since they're making it fresh, but the wait is worth it. Highly recommend!“

“Yum. The guac made at your table is the best!“

“El Patron is truly a beautiful place. I love the vibrant paintings and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant; it really creates a unique and inviting experience. While I’m personally not the biggest fan of the food, I must say that the service more than makes up for it. It’s definitely an experience worth having.

I admit I may be a bit biased because I prefer authentic Mexican cuisine. However, my partner, who isn’t a huge fan of Mexican food or the Americanized versions, genuinely enjoys what El Patron offers. As they say, "different tastes make the world go round!" It’s great to see how a place can cater to varying preferences and still create a memorable experience for everyone.“

“I’ve only been here three times so far and have never eaten in but my pickup experience has gone well every time! In comparison to the one on wolf road, this location prepares our pickup orders much faster (sometimes even before the estimated pickup time!) and gives much bigger portions!! A few months ago we got burritos from the wolf road location and were shocked at how tiny they were, it was so disappointing. But each time we have come to this central ave location we have gotten humongous burritos! I also really like the chipotlane option, driving up and picking up the orders is so convenient.“

“Is the Rennslear store going to reopen?“

“Super Friendly Staff…Great Atmosphere with Tasty Food and Generous Portions to match…“

“The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, except we experienced a really obnoxious drunk guy named Mark Maurer.“
