50 Best Mexican Restaurants near South Richmond Hill

“Loved this spot a lot.

Top dishes: steak tacos, chicken a las brazos l, sun gold tomato and squash taco, guacamole! Shrimp tostada

Honorable mentions: patatas braveas, chilaquiles, tuna tostada

No good: mango appetizer… it was too sweet with a sticky gelatinous texture.. flavor not great, all 4 people in my group did not like.. should remove from menu

Decor and vibe are great“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Stumbled across Chavela's totally on accident(thanks maps for taking me to the wrong place.) The food, the drinks, the service, all so amazing. Our server, I think her name was Mary, was amazing and friendly. I can't wait to come back!!!“

“Such an incredible experience . Tasting menu was amazing !“

“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.“

“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 )“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ALL AROUND!!!
Such incredible food and drinks. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The Pozole was amazing. We sat at the kitchen bar and watching the chefs execute each dish was absolute food porn. RECOMMEND!!!!!“

“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.“

“We had a great experience at Xolo! We started off with the guacamole and chips and the ahi tuna tostadas, so fresh! All of our entrees were filled with flavor and some of the BIGGEST burritos I ever seen! Margaritas are amazing too! Deff try this place out!“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“The best tacos that you can eat is in this place! The real authentic mexican food ?? You can watch all your sports games, of course those from Mexico too!
The owner is super helpful and always makes sure you have a good time ?
Definitely it could be one of your favorite places??“

“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.“

“Everything we tried was good, would pretty happily eat here again. Service was good and interior was cute. Portions felt slightly small for the price, but I suppose you’re not supposed to get stuffed at lunch. We visited with two non-vegans who also seemed pretty satisfied Updated from previous review on 2025-02-09“

“Exelente servicio y la comida muy rica“

“Fabulous food, drinks and service!“

“Braulio our bartender was amazing, knowledgeable and provided exceptional service ?. The octopus and steak were delicious, tender, and had the perfect char. If you're lucky you may meet the owner Chris and Owner/Chef Gerardo who are warm and welcoming and great conversation ? Going back for brunch soon. The Mezcal sangria is chef's ?“

“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.“

“lindísimo lugar, Lo bendigo y le pido a Dios volver pronto.....“

“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.“

“First time here and holy Molly, I will be back at least once a month when Im in the area, I was mind blown by all the flavors, not to mention how cold the draft beer was, food too about 14 minutes to come out, they must have added love to it ????“

“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.“

“New favorite Mexican in the neighborhood for date night - cocktails are great, food is delicious and generous portions. Staff is nice and attentive.

My fav part is their playlist, I’ve been 3 times now and playlist is just perfection“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Carlos, I believe his name was, he was amazing and kept the food and drinks coming!! I’ve been to a lot of different places where they offer bottomless every thing but, this is DEFINITELY the best place to go! Ask for, Carlos.. (I came up for a wedding and a birthday and I ended up have the best time ever)“

“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.“

“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.“
