44 Best Mexican Restaurants near Thornwood

“Keeping in mind that this is fast food, the cafeteria style setup makes ordering and customization easy. The food quality is higher on the fast food scale imo and portions are good and consistent and prices are on par with other fast food locales. Service is always fast and friendly. Dining room is ok. It's simple and tidy and people eat there frequently but I usually take away.“

“Walked the Tappan Zee Bridge from Rockland to Westchester and made our way to the Taco Project for awesome Chicken Tacos and some Mango Margaritas! After all we earned it! 😉 Will definitely be back again and will recommend to all my friends!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Dropped by during our long bike ride to grab some burritos. We did not see them on the online menu but we called in advance to order for pickup and asked if they had them, they said yes of course. They were very nice to us and it was nice on such a rainy day to grab some delicious warm food and sit down inside to warm up. The tortillas they made the burritos from were nice and flaky, there was a good amount of steak in our steak burritos and they were served with a generous amount of rice and beans (also delicious). The sauces were all on point as well. The staff was very nice.“

“They have great vegan options. I had the vegan nachos and a vegan quesadilla. Both tasty.“

“Absolutely stellar experience at Mirabella's Latina Cocina! The carne asada was perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Their handcrafted margaritas were a delightful treat, perfectly balanced and refreshing. Arturo, the proprietor, brought a special touch to the evening with his charming Latin hospitality, making us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. To top it all off, the tres leches dessert was the best I've ever had, a sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Get there soon before this hidden gem in West Chester becomes too popular—it's the best-kept secret around!“

“Went to this place for a quick stop to eat, it’s nice and cheap, I got 3 tacos, bistec and chorizo, fell in love with the chorizo tacos and the bistec ones were also amazing. It was very cheap 12 dollars for the order of 3. The worker, her name was Guadalupe was so nice and sweet. I definitely recommend coming here for some good Mexican food. My brother ate the chalupas and his girlfriend the nachos and they also loved their meals“

“Tony's the Best!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Stopped for lunch and we were more interested in having sangria than in eating as we were not overly hungry. Have to say the staff were attentive and the food was ok but we paid $35 for a pitcher of white sangria that was very watered down. I had the bistec poblano and he had crispy calamari.“

“Good food. Great ambiance. Friendly service. No complaints. Portions were nothing to complain about. Coconut shrimp a bit on the oily and fried side but delicious nonetheless, after all it is a fried dish. Mole enchiladas were delicious and plentiful. We'll be back.“

“It's very delicious , it full of all kinds of Mexican food!!“

“There were two other locations. The one in north Yonkers unfortunately closed but the Riverdale site (and this one) are still going strong. Great happy hour, solid plates, and great service. Drinks are well done. Parking can be a problem and there aren’t many tables when the place is popular, but worth it.“

“Food was delicious , great service“

“Me encanto , la música 🎶 increíble“

“I was really craving a dessert, so I searched for something nearby and found this place I started reading the reviews and some mentioned homemade desserts, so I decided to try it I was surprised visually it looks very simple and homemade, but the flavors are some of the best I’ve ever had!
Thank you so much, it was amazing!“

“We visited this place on a Saturday, we tried Birria con arroz y Frijoles, and this was one of the best Birria in town ever! We also had Tacos arabes, the meat, seasonings and the salsa roja were beyond delicious. I have to say that costumer service is one of the best we have ever had. We highly recommend you this place, don't go with the fact that is a small establishment. You won't regret it“

“We got to the White Plains Farmers Market a bit late and Gaucho Burger Company was already sold out! So we did one better, walked around the corner for a delicious lunch at the restaurant itself. One porcetta, chicken empanada, and a strawberry/goat cheese/field green salad and we had the PERFECT rainy, chilly day-off lunch. Delicious! DELICIOUS!!! I go to the market almost every Wednesday, but Chris had never had their food and it was a hit. New favorite!“

“Great cocktails and farm to table tea mex! Desserts are takes on American junk food classics. Think Twinky, Snowball,Devil Dog… made with all natural ingredients !

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly …. May be too much so. Was jammed with kids at 7:00 pm. Bring earplugs“

“My two favorite things in the menu are the hand made quesadillas and the Birria ramen. I love the face that these are freshly made to order so steak is juicy and very very tasty best quesadillas and tacos in port Chester for sure. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND“

“The service and atmosphere is amazing me and my family go almost every Sunday and the food does not disappoint. I would totally recommend this to a friend or family member and I would say that the only thing that I would change is the cleanliness because the floor is quite dirty, but the kitchen looks clean and organized“

“I was traveling from Va to Connecticut and stopped in Mt. kisco to rest. I picked up a take out order of guacamole & cheese quesadillas with steak. I ate it the next day, it was excellent! I warmed it in the oven, not too much cheese & a sufficient amount of steak, service was good & staff pleasant. I'd go again!❤“

“Where do I start...if I could give this place 10 stars I would. From expectations being surpassed to new and reinvigorated ambiance to great service from Camila. I enjoyed my time here and recommend it to anyone as a Mexican national that enjoys true Mexican dishes over the common fare that you find at a regular Mexican restaurant. They still carry all the usual suspects (burritos, quesadillas, tacos) but they also cater to those individuals that want a more decent entree (mole poblano, tampiqueña, huaraches, mariscos, etc).

We almost didn't come here cause of some low star reviews that I would not take seriously AT ALL. The food is flavorful, delicious and worth the price. Sure prices are going up...everywhere...but from what I could tell they are putting that money to good use and serving a large dish with sazon and and quality meat.

We went for Mexican Independence Day. There were a handful of busy tables. Their drinks were fantastic! We got a frozen mango margarita, a frozen coconut margarita and an Ay Mezcalita. The frozen drinks come in a very large margarita glass. Highly recommend it if you want a decent size drink. I had a Taco Placero de Chile Relleno que está de morirse. La verdad si cuesta un poquito más que un taco normal pero vale la pena y se puede compartir como aperitivo para dos o uno para una cena simple y llenadora.

From there my wife got a skirt steak entree option and this is the best skirt steak I have ever gotten at any restaurant, whether it be Mexican or American fare. The skirt steak is thick and large, and it had amazing flavor like everything else. They have about 4-6 skirt steak entree variations, and if they use the same quality meat for all those varietions then you will not be disappointed. I can only imagine how good the ribeye is.

I got a few Independencia dinner specials. The Chile en Nogada was amazing! A traditional Mexican dish in late August and September that brings out Mexican tradition. I called a handful of upscale Mexican restaurants near the White Plains area and no one was serving or knew what this dish was. The fact that Mariachi Loco was serving it for this festive holiday shows that they care about tradition and want to serve cultural dishes to their clients. We also ordered Pambazos and they were superb. I also recommend checking their Instagram for special events and weekly specials.

FYI they are going to be celebrating their 1 year anniversary in Nov since reopening after the pandemic. They closed for a few years to remodel and the renovations are amazing. This place is a gem. A little hidden but trust me...THIS PLACE IS AMAZING AND WORTH YOUR TIME.

Nota para los dueños - muchas gracias por su servicio e increible comida! Continúen compartiendo en Instagram y super contento que regresaron después de unos años. Sigan poniendo especiales si es posible y aquí seguiremos probando todo lo que nuestro país y su estado ofrece. Mucha suerte y bendiciones!

P.S. the image is of the Chile en Nogada. I wish I had taken more pictures. When I go back I will and hopefully I can post another unforgettable review.“

“Great place to go with friends and family.“

“Overall great food! Loved the atmosphere as well“
