50 Best Mexican Restaurants near South Ozone Park

“This is our weekend take out place. We order from this restaurant once a week and the food is always consistent. It is your typical Chinese Tex-Mex joint, with good Nachos and tacos. And the best part of this place are the prices! Service is also great…people are really polite over the phone. Only complaint is that their guacamole leaves a lot to be desired. Skip it!“

“I have to say this restaurant was absolutely delicious!! So glad we tried the only Mexican Michelin star in New York!!!

We went here for our anniversary and were very pleased! Our reservation was for 9 and our table was ready exactly at that time.  Service was fantastic! Our waiter was really friendly and very knowledgeable about all the food items.  He answered all of our questions about flavors and portion sizes quite thoroughly which made our decisions easy!

Their tequila and mezcal varieties were very extensive and they had great cocktail options as well! For appetizers we decided to choose the smoked mangoes, tuna tostada, and the punta verde caesar.  All were so tasty and had such amazing flavor, we even ordered another tuna tostada!!  I would say we felt the mangoes were more of a snack/dessert and not an app but we were not mad about it at all because the smokiness they were able to get into the mangoes was amazing!

For the main course we went with the lamb and swordfish tacos (it comes with 2 each).  They are average sized, nothing too big or small especially since we ordered so many appetizers between the two of us!!  Both dishes were so flavorful!! I would highly recommend trying everything you have room for since the choices we made were bursting with so much flavor!

We chose the Oaxacan chocolate cake and the tres leches for dessert.  The cake and ice cream had a strong espresso flavor, maybe because I don't drink any coffee/espresso at all but it was still very tasty.

Overall this was a very affordable Michelin Star restaurant and we were extremely pleased with every aspect of our dining experience.  We would absolutely return to try more menu items and highly recommend paying them a visit if you are a fan of big, bold flavors!!

(The photos are not great sorry.)“

“First time eating here, the food is amazing! I have a shellfish allergy and the server had so many options for me. The chips and salsa sooo good, the tostada atún soooooooo good, I’m currently still here about to eat fish tacos. Also the mock tails are soooooo good!!!! 20/10 rating. Will come again!!!!!“

“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“everything was delicious, atmosphere was fantastic, service was great. Highly recommended!“

“I am in awe how absolutely incredible the shrimp tacos were. When I was checking out at the restaurant I got a bit of sticker shock on how expensive it was, however it was well worth it. 100% recommend. Fast service and cute neighborhood vibe.“

“Let me emphasize this, NOBODY and I do mean NOBODY, makes a delicious bowl the way Tacobees do. I live far and order with extra charges through Ubereats because it’s just that good and worth every penny. I get burritos the size of a tiny baby. I should know because I’ve had tiny humans before and those burritos are at least 2lbs or more lol.

The way the burritos and bowls are made, is just so good. They don’t skimp out on anything. It’ll be full to the absolute brim. Their queso and guac is hands down the best out of all other chains (Chipotle, Moe’s and Qdoba.) The steak and honey chicken is just chefs kiss. I love how my delivery is also always warm and the most important part, correct. They just get me and can take my check any weekend!“

“Excellent atmosphere. Amazing Mexican food. I especially love their moles.“

“I had the pizza birria it was delicious ?. The service too & everything is made in front of you fresh love the salsa station. This is no restaurant is more like a Mexican Bodega with a Flat Top. Quick Tip Get Some Mexican Paletas ( Ice Cream )“

“Every time I show up, the employees suggest the best food available, they are generous always. If the container is empty, they walk to the kitchen to refill for fresh food.
They have good attitude.
The food is always on point, it’s hard to find the right place to dine for less than $20 dollars.
Adobo - M G is a great place for take out and family.“

“Honestly, if you are looking for a really amazing spot to get a halal burrito or Mexican food, Guac Time is literally the best option. I have been coming here at least once every week since I found out about this place and honestly the food is so addicting. The service is great and employees are so welcoming.“

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

“It's a nice chill spot for a couple or group of friends. The food is really good and it comes to your table quickly. The people are very nice. They also have take out..there is street parking and a rest room. Wheel chairs are ok since it's on the street level. With no ramp. And small outdoor dining space

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes a wheelchair can get into the place. It's ground level, no steps. They can dine-in or take out.“

“Atmosphere was sophisticated especially compared to neighborhood Mexican restaurants. Service was attentive. But the food was disappointing. House salad was nice, with a touch of unexpected mint, but the Vegetarian Chili Rellenos with winter vegetables really missed the mark. In hindsight I should have returned it as it was warm but barely cooked. Every vegetable stuffed in the poblano chili, including the chili itself, was still crunchy (almost raw) rather than what I am sure the head chef would have intended. Also, The carrot pure sauce was a bit too heavy on the cream. I had high expectations, so was disappointed.“

“I don’t understand does this place not read the instructions of their orders ? Why do you always forget to add the sauces when the instructions specifically says to put in on the side. The sauces are one of your main attractions and the only reason I order. Or else I’m better off ordering from chipotle. Please get it together I will not longer be ordering from here.“

“delicious food and drinks. i came for the happy hour solo and sat at the bar. the service was super friendly and i have no complaints. i had 2 passion fruit margaritas and enjoyed the nachos with chicken. i came here from harlem and will definitely be back with friends next time!“

“The customer service is wonderful, from Adrián specifically, and the food is even better. It manages to maintain the authentic cuisine of Mexico and at the same time provide a touch of modernity. Plus the party music and colorful lights simply bring a great atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Amazing food at a good price with great portion sizes! I always get the chimichangas and I love that you get rice, beans, a salad, and a couple plantains - it's usually enough food for me to stretch it to 1.5-2 meals, even though the food is so good I want to eat it all at once.“

“Me and my daughter, enjoyed this restaurant so much during our Mommy and Me weekend! The atmosphere was laid back and quite relaxing. The service was superb and the food was so good, we had to order food to bring home. I would give this establishment 6 stars if I could. We were both very pleased and we will be dining here again very soon. If you have not been here, you should definitely give them a visit. Peace and Love, Chele from the Block.“

“Hungry looking around for a place not too pricey to have a quick made me come across this little Mexican restaurant.
Nice atmosphere with Banda music which is classic to Mexican restaurants (I don't mind it as long as it's not too loud)
Our waiter was a kind gentleman. He could've been a tad more attentive in refilling chips or just give updates from the kitchen but, I'm not really bothered.
Food was delicious it just took a good minute for us to get it.
Things to note: no parking, they charge extra for paying with a card.
Overall, I will probably come back. Just because new York is too large to explore. You really need to make a good impression to have repeat customers without seeing other options first.“

“Came for my husbands birthday. Birthday card was at the table which was nice. Service was friendly the best deal for the price was the whole sea bass that came with 6 tortillas and a spicy green sauce. The ribs with pineapple chutney & the Beet salad were very delicious too. The portion size of the beet salad was worth the price. Did not get the tacos, $18 for only two tacos seemed too excessive. Desert menu seemed simple in comparison to the other food items so we skipped that and went somewhere else for dessert. Favorite cocktail was the ‘Cosecha’ beautiful stirred cocktail with lacto fermented honey, palo santo, Sherry, & reposado tequila! The non-alcoholic horchata could have been a bit sweeter or with more baking spice flavor but I still enjoyed it.“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food, beautiful decor, sophisticated chic ambiance, mood lighting, friendly service, and live Salsa music on Thursdays.

What's not to love?!

Reccos: their mocktails and specialty drinks; corn ribs; enchiladas, chicken, and fish entrees. So far we've loved everything we've tried.

Please let the staff know of any allergies and they will assist accordingly.“

“The food is 10/10 the service is 10/10 the restaurant it self is small but they provide great service and great food ! Their tres leches cake is to die for !!! My co workers and i eat here for lunch all the time . Only thing i do not like is that they charged for cheese, sour cream , lettuce to go on your tacos. The tacos normally come with cilantro and onions only. Guacamole is extra but that’s expected.“

“Fun place for a date. The tacos were really delicious (shout out to the al pastor) and the michelada and margaritas were tasty. Service was slow at times and the biggest knock is they're a bit overpriced. Overall, a solid spot and worth stopping by if you want good food in Forest Hills.“

“While the burrito was good, I paid $5 extra for barbacoa and it was pork, $16 is too much for a pork burrito. How can I tell? There was crispy skin and barbacoa does not have that.

*Update: the business clarified I was lamb - it did taste like pork to me but I don't eat Barbacoa often so I'll take their word for it.“

“Enjoyed the delicious foods, lovely plating. Left happy and satisfying. Would recommend to anyone to eat there.“

“This spot is hands-down the best taco I’ve had in New York city. They make their corn tortillas from scratch and all of the proteins are out of this world delicious. I met the owner Carolina, she is absolutely delightful. The space itself is really cool, and word is definitely spread in as to how awesome the food is. Definitely suggest anyone in the Bushwick area to come swing by and give this place a try. It’s literally a perfect taco.“

“food is tasty and fresh. service is very pleasant atmosphere is welcoming I will be back“

“The food is delicious, they always accommodate my needs. They have excellent wines, The atmosphere is calm, perfect for eating and relaxing for a moment, free from the stress of everyday life, the young woman who serves simply has a good attitude, is friendly and always serves with a nice smile. It's my favorite place. 100% recommended.“

“sabrosos tacos !!!.......“

“What a gem. Got a chicken burrito and it was exactly what I wanted: plenty of chicken, loaded with rice and beans, good tortilla that they grilled just right. And the guys working the truck are super nice, overall great experience for the price.“

“Came in on a Friday at noon - the interior was welcoming and clean. I ordered the La Callejera and it was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Portion was big for me - ended up eating half and will be eating other half for dinner. Would definitely come in again. Order total was about 21 for the torta and a Mexican coke.“

“So this place opened up less than a year ago.Me and my husband have definitely been here at least 4x ... Let's start with the bartender ( same guy every time) his personality is absolutely amazing.The whole atmosphere is insane.Lee literally like a breath out of the Bronx for a minute... I can't stress their shrimp tacos enough... it is my ultimate favorite but I also had prime rib taco's last time & beyond ?... Me and my husband have date night at least 2x weekly & if you want an intimate atmosphere that's décor is beautifu. l.Music is mexican music which is very fitting but know this "you're gonna spend money" for 2 ppl a shot and a Margarita each then an entree. y appetizer is gonna.
Cost you around $200 and it's worth it every time!!!“

“Los mejores tacos que he comido en mi vida!“

“Decided to treat myself to dinner and went to check out this place. Came in during a dinner rush and was seated right away. A nice dark atmosphere. I ordered the NY strip steak and I gotta say it was amazing. Cooked to perfection, melted in my mouth. Cooked like a real steak a perfect medium rare. So good on its own and didn't any sauce but it came with a delicious arbol chilli salsa. Great service with friendly staff. I can't wait to come back and try the lamb tacos amongst other things. I highly recommend a lovely dinner here“

“Great mexican restaurant, dinner for four last night and everyone was raving!!“

“My partner has been coming here for atleast a decade and it remains his favorite taco spot. He brought me here and I am equally in love! The service is top tier and the chef is always up for a challenge! I have had multiple experiences with ordering something off the menu and the chef has always come through with something delicious! Highly recommend this spot and the shrimp tacos are the best I have ever had.“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“la comida es muy buena y deliiiiii“

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

“Been coming here for over 10 years. Everyone is super friendly. Food is always good!“

“awesome menu items great service“

“I been here twice and loved it. We had the spicy jalapeño margaritas which were really good. We had queso fundido and elote for appetizer which was delicious . They have a brunch menu until 5pm. The steak from the brunch menu was also delicious and so were the enchiladas that we had. Overall, the food was great and ambiance too.“

“Guac Time Mexican Grill – A Must-Try Spot!

Guac Time Mexican Grill is one of the best places for fresh, flavorful, and halal Mexican food. The burrito bowls, spicy chicken, and vegetarian options are always perfectly made.

I also want to give a special shoutout to Aarti, who is by far the best employee I’ve ever encountered at Guac Time. Her service is exceptional—she’s friendly, professional, and makes sure every customer leaves satisfied. Aarti’s attention to detail and perfect portion sizes elevate the dining experience even more. Kudos to her and the entire team at Guac Time for delivering such outstanding service!

If you haven’t tried this gem yet, you’re missing out. 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“Chano’s Cantina is a must-visit! The Eggs on Steak is a perfect combination of flavors—succulent steak topped with perfectly cooked steak and eggs. The atmosphere is warm, and the staff is welcoming. I highly recommend this dish for lunch. Great experience overall!“

“Had such a relaxing evening here. From start to finish everything was perfect. They made the guacamole fresh infront of us. Albert our sever was fantastic he could not do enough for us. Carlos on cocktails made the best mojitos we have ever had! Cannot recommend enough. Best Mexican we have had in NYC!“

“Work down the block and this spot is reliable and consistent for good Mexican food. Small and independently owned, so definitely worth checking out/supporting! It’s interesting when people say small business prices are expensive, when everything is expensive right now. If more of us supported small spots, they could keep prices lower. Go check them out“
