50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Sunnyside

“Real authentic Mexican food. I love every dish I’ve tried here. My faves are: sopes de tinga, mole enchiladas, tortas de res empanizado and flautas de pollo. Their beans are amazing too, I used to live nearby and ordered frequently just as a side.“

“Graded A by the NYC Sanitary Inspection. Very clean open kitchen with DRY FLOOR for you to see!
The food is amazing so we kept coming back for the Trio of tacos, stir fried chow mein noodles and quesadillas.
A great addition to our Sunnyside neighborhood.
Aside from the generous portion they give you, they were never short on flavors and garnishes !
Highly recommended!“

“Walking distance from subway. Across the street from a nice park. Somewhat manageable paid street parking. Amazing staff and service. Very cozy with only 2 tables and a counter. Very extended menu, you will definitely find something you like, vegan, vegetarian, or meats. Lunch specials are all great. Fast service. I'm getting lunch there at least 3 times a week, every week. Go try it and thank me later.

Parking: Street parking, during lunchtime, should be ok.“

“The quality here remains unmatched by any competitor. The staff deliver outstanding service consistency. Every option satisfies hunger without emptying wallets. My friends created the atmosphere, and the restaurant service supported it. My visit here was worth every dollar.“

“I personally been ordering from this truck for years! They also deliver! The food was always delicious and the guys are kind. No they don’t speak English and no they are not racist. Sunnyside is a very diverse neighborhood and you see all kinds of people ordering from them.“

Whether you’re there for a special day or just a fun trip with friends, this place delivers — and then surprises you, in the best way.“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“Small but fresh menu made it perfect for making decisions and also means the food SHOULD be great across the board and they did not let us down.

Calm atmosphere was perfect for intimate gatherings and a focus attention on your party.

The chips and salsa was a great way to start opening the pallet to different flavors paired with
The Amarillos aguachiles which was light, sweet, and refreshing

Tostada de atun was mouth watering, fresh, flavorful and my personal favorite of the night but a tough 2nd pick was the branzino we order which comes with a nice pineapple salsa. The fish was cooked perfectly and also so fresh.

Everything here is fresh and packed with flavor, perfect for hot summer night, light dinners, or parties with friends.“

“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“omg Sophia was absolutely amazing! She catered to alllll my allergies. And it was my boy's bday and she made it extra special. Totally recommend to anyone in Chelsea!“

“Will the food blow you away? No (besides the street corn which is fantastic). And it’s not cheap either. BUT, the vibes are unmatched. My parents used to take me here when I was a kid and there’s just no better place for a summer lunch out with family or friends.“

“We came for brunch today as a group of four, and everything we had was absolutely delicious. The service was quick and attentive. The bathrooms were clean. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great Mexican vegan brunch experience!“

“Sosy is our server and he was sooooo amazing and super duper friendly. We got a tomahawk for 2, fries, and mixed greens and more! It was great experience and it was phenomenal. Everything that we ordered was 10/10. I'm very happy that my husband found this place. We both enjoyed it so much“

“The food & service were great! Will definitely return.“

“Absolutely incredible place I even got to meet the manager. The guy was awesome. I recommend this place completely to anybody else is off the hook fantastic“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“Hermoso restaurante de comida internacional música tragos espectaculares y ambiente súper agradable“

“Really loved this restaurant! The margarita was delicious, the selection of tequila was phenomenal, the food was delicious. The hospitality made it even more enjoyable. can't wait to visit again.“

“Très bon restaurant, le personnel est chaleureux et très attentionné ☺️ j’ai adoré mon repas 🤤🤤“

“They have the best tacos and burritos“

“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!“

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

“So fabulous! Delicious food! Amazing service! If you are any where near Brooklyn, it is a must!!“

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

“Food was very good! We arrived and staff was very warm and welcoming! The food and drinks were good, the churros were amazing! I would only deduct a start rating due to pricing…I think for what it is the prices a bit higher than what I would pay. Otherwise good place to eat.“

“Cosme proves that fine dining requires neither white tablecloths nor hushed silence to command respect. The space balances industrial design with a warmth that feels effortless, much like the service.

We began with the Maine Uni Tostada. Pairing sea urchin with bone marrow salsa is a bold move that pays off magnificently. It is creamy, briny, and demonstrates a mastery of texture that sets the tone for the meal. The Octopus was equally impressive, sporting a char that gave way to a tender interior, all elevated by the subtle heat of chile morita.
The Duck Carnitas, however, are the undisputed king of this menu. Served in a cast-iron skillet to share, the meat is unctuous and rich without being heavy. Constructing the perfect bite with the fresh tortillas and radishes feels like a ritual you will want to repeat.

We finished with the Corn Husk Meringue. It looks like modern art and tastes like nostalgic genius. Enrique Olvera’s kitchen is firing on all cylinders, delivering a meal that is as intelligent as it is delicious.“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Very authentic, the fish tacos are awesome, light . The tortillas are also light and original, flavorful. Enjoy the “ Baja fish tacos very much ! Top off with their “Tres Leches - dessert! Umm!
Like the waitress who waiter on us “ and you said you wasn’t very hungry !” Daniella and Tiffany were great , very helpful and informative. 👍🏽👍🏽💯🙏“

“I live in Park Slope and for the first time, my husband and went to Alma Negra.
We had a great experience, from the moment we got there the waitress Ashley was so attentive and friendly. We had questions about the menu, she very patiently and with excellent customer service skills, answered all our questions. Her recommendations were excellent!
We had a wonderful time, great ambiance, delicious food, and excellent service!“

“It was a surprise to find this little restaurant in Harlem. There were no tables, and we took the last two seats at the bar. While we waited, I surprisingly felt at home. The aroma of the food, the care with which Karina prepared each of the dishes, and the kindness and joy they served us. By the time our table was ready, we didn't want to take it anymore; we ate much more than we planned to order because we didn't want to miss out on their delicious food. I have dietary restrictions, and I was surprised to see that everything from the exquisite tortillas to the delicious tres leches dessert was prepared right there, gluten-free and preservative-free. I hope to return soon.“

“I had the best chorizo torta of my life here. I like trying tortas from Mexican places wherever I go to compare, and this place knocked it out of the park. It's locally owned and operated. Loved having a latte with the meal since it was kind of brunch.“

“Love the place,love the service and the lobster tacos 🌮 were amazing.“

“We travel every year to NY for my wife's birthday and out of the 3 to 4 days we are there we visit La Contenta 3 to 5 times at least, one when we arrive in between and on our way back to the airport is always our last stop, I have been in the industry for over 40 years and question the reason why we are there so much with so many restaurants available? The mezcal and tequila drinks are the best anywhere in this city, I can only compare them to my own drinks with the freshest ingredients and great mezcal and tequila selections, but there are also other great mezcal and tequila bars which are really good too. The food is great the branzino with the spicy serrano salsa is fantastic but we mostly drink lol and there are also other Mexican restaurants with great food mmmmm so what is it about La Contenta that makes us want to be there so much? I can only think of is that they treat us the way We treat guests in our restaurant, they make us feel special, they remember us every time with a warm and open arms feeling. It is hard to put into words but we love La Contenta east and Brooklyn ( THE WEST LOCATION IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT) My wife told the owners that when she passes she wants some of her ashes put in a corner of La Contenta is that level of hospitality of this wondeful Mexican Institute !!!“

“bartenders were all nice you can tell they enjoy what they do!“

“Delicious and unique items available on the menu. The staff, food, and environment and overall experience were 10/10. Definitely check it out!“

“If you need a spot to get a taco bowl, burrito, quesadilla or taco go here!!! This place is better than chipotle. The staff here are so amazing, friendly and sweet. And the food is amazing with so many options. They also have a deal for teachers, student, MTA workers and healthcare workers. I always have a great experience every time I go here!“

“this restaurant's food quality is too good“

“Run, don't walk! Visiting from the Hudson Valley for a day trip, and my wife & I are foodies. With a hungry 10 year old tyrant in tow, we took our son to the park across the street and killed an hour before wearily stumbling into Miatzil.

First off, on a Tuesday to be dead at 6pm is a crime! The Happy Hour here exceeds anything I've ever seen. $18 for 4 tacos & a cocktail (1 of 3 choices.)

The service is friendly & attentive, the food is wonderful & the spice level is up there with some of my favorite Oaxacan venues down in Mexico.

This hidden gem in plain sight deserves all of the love from the Park Slope community.

Much love,
Anton“

“los mejores tacos al pastor!!!!!👍👍👍👍“
