49 Best Mexican Restaurants near Tomkins Cove

“★★★★★

Raíces Modern Mexican is an absolute gem! From the beautiful atmosphere to the welcoming service, everything about this place makes you want to stay and enjoy the experience.

But the Steak Frites… WOW. Easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. The steak was incredibly tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor, while the fries were crispy, seasoned perfectly, and the ideal complement to the steak. Every bite was better than the last.

You can tell there’s real attention to detail behind the food here. The flavors are bold, the presentation is beautiful, and the whole experience feels like a step above your typical Mexican restaurant.

The reviews are definitely right about this place—the food is flavorful, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff make you feel welcome. If you come to Raíces, do yourself a favor and order the Steak Frites. It’s a MUST.“

“Pepe’s food is great. It’s fast and delicious. Great tacos and quesadillas. The wings are also good when available.“

“Delicious enchiladas with green sauce. Medium spicy & flavorful. Friendly service. Have dine in & taken out. Small place but I think it's the best Mexican restaurant around here & there's a number of them in the area. This was recommended to me by a Mexican who's in the food industry. He knows what he's talking about. A must try!“

“We love this place! I am from the Southwest and haven’t had tortillas like this in ages! We will be back! So fresh! So good!“

“I love this place for the Delicious Authentic Mexican food .. the atmosphere is fun & alive. And let’s not forget the Staff they are accommodating & friendly. Great music takes you away just a fun place all around!“

“Don’t go to the new Chipotle across the street, go here. They greet me with a smile every visit, food is prepared well, and the sauce options cannot be beat. With Taco Bell prices rising, this is your best bet for Mexican food by a mile.“

“Delicious food & drinks. Super friendly staff. Saturday & Sunday brunch is incredible. The place is always decorated for the holidays. We’ve been going there for years. Even though covid shutdowns, years of road construction blocking their entrance, they never gave up. They still decorated the place, had specials, and it seemed the portions got bigger & better. We’ve had some really fun parties & great times there. We support them every chance we get. Highly recommended!!!“

“Walking into Mariana’s restaurant was like a trip from cold New York to warm Mexico. I loved the ambience, the sound of Mexican music, colorful Mexican decor, a wonderfully accommodating waiter, Jose, coupled with delicious authentic-tasting Mexican food was a treat for my senses. The generous portion of food was bursting with flavor. The entire experience at Mariana’s Restaurant was well worth the ride from Manhattan. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mariana’s Restaurant. You will be seeing me again, the sooner, the better.“

“Finding QUALITY AUTHENTIC mexican food is hard in Rockland. But this place checks all the marks. No random peas or lettuce in dishes that dont have it. Great salsa verde (sometimes it is a bit spicy, so careful folks). Delicious chilaquiles. Great torta. Hand squeezed orance juice. This is a hidden gem. Somewhat easy to park.“

“Gabriel was our server and he was incredible! The food was amazing and the drinks were awesome! Our new favorite Mexican restaurant. We will become regulars!! 😊 thank you, Gabriel!!!!!“

“Great views, atmosphere and staff. Most importantly the food is super delicious, reasonably priced and good size portions. What more can you ask for.“

“The best and most authentic Mexican food there is. Their carnitas and carne asada are so flavorful and juicy. Everything they serve is amazingly delicious. My go-to food for comfort. It’s a diamond in the rough! We love it!! DELICIOUS!“

“Just discovered this place last weekend after seeing a movie at Regal. The tacos were delicious and reasonably priced, and the service was incredible. Allen made us feel welcome to what was to us a new place. Looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Just had ours delivered to Bear Mountain Lodge. Delivery lady was very nice and the food was fresh and delicious!! There was so much that we couldn't even finish it. Highly reccomend! Will come back :-)“

“The food is always fresh and unlike other Mexican restaurants in the area, they listen to you. I like my food on the spicy side, no gringo American for me!! Lol“

“Dined in with 4 adults and 2 8 yr old boys and it was great. Good service and delicious food. The drinks were also great-traditional margaritas & something with Hennessy. Ambiance even on a Monday was very cool. Well done Yuka’s! Your parking lot is always crowded so I knew you were good.“

“Margaritas…Wednesday, be there or be squared.“

“Best chilequiles I have ever had. Great service, very clean, quick, friendly, and best of all the food was authentic. The chips and salsa were also fantastic. Highly recommend. The owners even came out and talked with us. One of the best Mexican places around in an area with many to choose from. If you're in the area, stop by!!!“

“This place is so legit. The people who I am assuming own and operate the spot are always the people I see when I come in. They’re so nice and I appreciate their entire energy and vibe. Food is killer. So happy to support this venue. Highly recommend. 11/10“

“Great food and service. And ambience“

“This was our second time coming here as a family, and I almost never write reviews, but this place is such a gem that I wanted to spread the word. The food is spectacular, especially the birria tacos. Everything we’ve tried has tasted incredibly fresh and authentic, and the staff are always attentive, welcoming, and kind.

I love Mexican food and have been fortunate to enjoy it in Mexico as well as at countless Mexican restaurants across the U.S. After trying many places throughout Westchester and Manhattan, I can confidently say this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. We will absolutely be back!“

“Exelente comida recomendado....!“

“Me encanto , la música 🎶 increíble“

“good quality is very poor. rice was hard and chewy, meats were dry and overcooked...and it was 12pm. expected fresher and better quality. the veg options did appear and taste fresh. overall, ok once...but would not be a go to again for us Owings Mills, MD location“

“We had excellent food and two great and amazing servers. Kevin is very hospitable and made our first-time experience very pleasant. Today, we had Alex. He did the same. Alex corrected a mistake without even asking. The food is delicious also.“

“Best chef ever!!!!! Good is authentic Mexican … very happy with the service.“

“Great service and food! Qull definitely be back! A+++“

“2nd time here and it's still great! I had the fish tacos this time along with a Pina colada. My kids really enjoyed their food too. They had the California Burger, Birria tacos, chicken Caesar salad and a shredded beef burrito. Everything was seasoned perfectly!“

“Riquísima comida la mejor en su torta huarache todo lo mejor es un lugar limpio y agradable para comer en familia 🌮🌮🌯🍤“

“Delicioso muy buen sabor“

“Great tasting tacos. In Haverstraw my go-to used to be Marianitas, but as of late I've been going to Sabor de Guerrero. Great customer service, and very reasonable prices and deals. 15 tacos for $20. I also love how their tortillas aren't drenched in grease.

The restaurant is clean, and their workers are very nice. Shoutout to my man Samuel.“

“We go there almost every week and we love it! Whether you’re craving traditional dishes or something new, this place has it all. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience!“

“This is as traditional as traditional can get for Guatemalan food. This restaurant offers authentic food and even the way it’s laid out is just like in my country. Please do not come here expecting service or vibes like American restaurants. This is a homey authentic and relaxed environment. If you’re looking for clean delicious flavor this is it.“

“Los dueños muy amables! Muy carismáticos. Los recomiendo todo muy rico 😋“

“This Mexican restaurant delivers a dining experience that feels both authentic and comforting. The food is freshly cooked, and each dish tastes almost like homemade Mexican food, which really sets it apart from more generic spots. From the first bite, you can tell there’s attention to detail in both flavor and preparation, making it a truly good Mexican restaurant worth visiting.

The great customer service adds even more to the experience. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and happy to make recommendations, helping you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re familiar with Mexican cuisine or trying something new, they make the process easy and enjoyable.

The restaurant offers a dine-in setting that’s comfortable and lively, especially with its open bar. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy a drink, and pair it with a flavorful meal. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between casual and energetic, making it suitable for both small gatherings and casual nights out.

While the prices lean more toward the expensive side, the quality of the food, service, and overall experience make it worthwhile. If you’re looking for fresh, satisfying Mexican food with a welcoming vibe, this spot is definitely worth checking out.“

“Always do take out , never disappoints ! Best Tacos in the Area

Update :

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We’ve been here before and every time, it just gets better. This visit we had the torta and tacos de lengua, and they were absolutely phenomenal. The torta was packed with flavor and perfectly toasted, and the lengua tacos were melt-in-your-mouth tender. The customer service is always so friendly and genuine.
Out of all the spots we’ve tried in Rockland, this one is literally the best. No question. The quality, the flavor, it’s unmatched. If you haven’t been here you’re seriously missing out. Do yourself a favor and try this place !“

“Excellent restaurant. Great food and service“

“Señorita never disappoints — the margaritas are absolutely fabulous, and the staff make you feel right at home. Top-notch all around!“

“I saw the rocky reviews on here so I was apprehensive but I was so pleased!
The house margs were perfect as well as my barria taquitos! The inside is absolutely adorable and rather large. Would be great for hosting a large lunch or event.“

“Good food, convenient location. Counter staff needs to seriously improve their listening skills! Ordering and paying was a particularly frustrating experience.“

“Great company, food and service. We got the Sea Bass Ceviche which was delicious and fresh with a decent amount of heat, but could have used more sea bass in it. Guac and sampler salsas were good. Potatoes greasy but super crispy and soft inside. The short ribs were excellent. The favorite item by consensus with companions was the unique and scrumptious corn cake. All items were gluten free and separate fryer and menu made this restaurant an easy choice. Our server was Alice who guided us on selections with humor and confidence. She hustled and we appreciated her!“

“My first visit here. I ordered Tacos to go. They were freshly prepared while I waited. They were reasonably priced & DELICIOUS. Their menu looked good. I will definitely be back for more 👍“

“I don't come for the food so i can't review the restaurant, but i heard it's good. I'm reviewing more for the night life on the weekend. There is a dj and they play Hispanic music; reggaeton, cumbia, bachata, merengue, and salsa. Great vibes and good drinks. Dancing gets going around midnight so don't be surprised if it's a little dead early on. Wait until later and it will be lively with a fun crowd?“

“Braised beef brisket was perfectly executed. We chose to have it on the salad bowl … in the spirit of low carb. Though fell hard to temptation with their NEW (!!) dessert menu and the CHURRO SUNDAE. A perfectly crafted pastry experience this is, a must, even if you avoid carbs up until that point lol“

“I LOVE La Cascada! It's a country club atmosphere (and we are members of Tapatio Springs CC) but the dining is open to the public. The views out to the golf course are beautiful, the atmosphere is modern and elegant, food EXCELLENT, and service also EXCELLENT. I had the pork chop...moist and delicious, also the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Yum! I honestly think La Cascada is great, but ALSO the country club is the BEST VALUE in the hill country!! Hotel rooms and beautiful swimming pools, golf course, wedding venue. It's magical! Tell Becca in Membership that Cathy Newton encouraged to "come visit and consider joining!"“

“AMAZING SERVICE 10 OUT OF 10 the young gentleman that goes by the name of “Jake” is quiet a brilliant young sir who performs at the highest standard, over time and time again Jake goes out of his way to satisfy the customer and make sure everyone enjoys the Taco Bell experience, it couldn’t be Taco Bell without workers like Jake“

“I've been here a few times since they opened. I mainly use the app and pick the order up inside. Every time I've gone inside, you have to order through the kiosk. There is no one that takes your order behind the counter unless you go through the drive thru. The limited interaction I've had with the staff has always been good. They are polite and friendly. The food is good like your typical taco bell. The place is clean and well maintained. It's only 9 months old, so hopefully, it stays this way.“
