50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Valley Stream

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

“Got the tacos de carnitas (pork), chorizo (ground pork), and bistec (steak). All delicious but my favorite has to be the carnitas, and this is mostly because the owners wife makes the pork from pork shoulder and she's Dominican so she makes it as pernil which I grew up eating and it's my favorite rendition of pork. So it's fair to say that I've been here like 3 times in the past month and a half after finding this spot ? but it's bc in all honesty these are some of the best tacos in the area (Elmont/valley stream) and especially the best carnitas (pork) tacos in the area. We can try and compare other spots, but I promise you it's just your pride lol if we are talking Elmont this is the spot. Very authentic and the portions are crazy, I can throw down but I'm good with 4-5 tacos. Tbh once you go into 5-6 you're gonna be in the food baby territory of fullness, just get a Jarrito for the bevy and you'll be golden beloved.“

“Whenever I want some delicious food, I have to stop in here!!! Their chicharrones, beans, white rice with sweet plantains with some delicious pernil and a jarrito, are amazing! The girls are really sweet too.

They also cater if you're having a get together! 10 stars **********“

“It was ok the best so far“

“Fish tacos and baby corn is yummy 😋“

“The loaded fries are amazing reminds me of my home town California has some of the best Mexican foods and this make me feel so close to home foreal… I think I order these at least twice a week eventually I’m going try something else because I know it’s good well I have tried their churros and those was really good“

“One of my favorite place to grab lunch during lunch break. Usually like their burrito bowl. Like the food but front cashiers behavior is not nice. All the time they make faces as if they are tired and not at all welcoming.
Need to work on that.
Thanks“

“Amazing and deliciously 🤤 addictive . The fundito with chorizo is so good !!!“

“Service is okay but not great but food is very good“

“Quick eats spot that I think is underrated. Amount of food is reasonable for the price and not to mention delicious. I ordered takeout but there are about 3 tables in the restaurant for dine-in. Also, it’s a mom and pop shop and their daughter works the register. They’re super respectful and sweet. You should definitely go support them and try their yummy food!“

“This place is great! I couldn't find a reason to give it anything under 5 stars. Staff are kind and patient, atmosphere is nice, and food is so good I leave with my belly STUFFED every time lol! This place is turning me into a bigback. 😜“

Huge bonus to the service and free tortillas chips & salsa

“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.“

“We tried Taco Express for the first time today. The food was delicious. The staff is very courteous and friendly. We informed them that this was our first time at the restaurant and they made us feel like at home. I highly recommend trying them out. You will keep going there again and again.“

“The best Mexican food in Long Island Definitivamente 100% recomendado la mejor comida mexicana en la isla“

“The menu had so many great options! The food is great, we ordered beef tacos, a mixed platter, mango mock tails and a boba tea. The man who helped us was friendly and welcoming! My family and I had a great time. We will be visiting again!“

“awesome menu items great service“

“First time visitor of Girasoles. Small neighborhood restaurant in the Jamaica area. There are a handful of seats, some bar style and a table or two. It’s summer so it’s a bit warm in there even with the AC running. (Sit in the back, AC feels better there.) The lady that took the order was pleasant. Decent service, suitable for the establishment.

I tried the Steak Quesadilla as my introduction to their cuisine. The steak was tender and flavorful, the Cojito queso was new to me but added to the meal perfectly. My platter came with shredded lettuce, one small tomato slice (could have used a few more) and a little bit of guacamole. This didn’t seem like restaurant quality. It was better, more like mom or abuela was back there preparing dishes. I added a Coca Cola, the cool glass bottle ones that taste just a little bit better than the others you buy. (IYKYK)

Reasonable prices, really good food. Will be back to try another dish.“

“Excellent meal and wait staff“

“Im at 5 burros always an awesome time. Can you say CHULETA? Chef Jaime has outdone himself.This is the most badass awesome chuleta I have seen in my whole life.“

“This place was awesome! The atmosphere was definitely one for the books. The Margarita flight was sooooo good along with the food. The customer service was definitely top notch. Everyone was smiling and had a positive attitude. Constantly checking in to make sure you're doing okay. 10 Stars, will be returning“

“Great place Gentlemen with glasses and hat backwards was awesome. Great portions very flavorful. Will be back.“

“La comida súper rica 100% recomendable“

“great fresh food at affordable prices. staff is always nice“

“Buena comida las muchachas muy atentas se los recomiendo“

“Great atmosphere and vibe. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Our waitress, Jahira, was wonderful. She was quick to pivot when we needed something less spicy. Everything was cooked well and delicious. There were lots of birthday celebrations with staff singing. Great place for family dinners or date night. The non leche tres leches was dynamite“

“The atmosphere is great, very clean.
Service is great too, but the prices.

Ordered 4 tacos and did wait around 13min

It’s $4.5 taco but it feels like a $3 portion.
Should be around $20-30 per person with a drink, if alcoholic most likely $30-40.

Overall a good experience, if you wanted to tacos and more for your buck, prob food trucks are a better option.“

“One thing I miss about living in Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap location, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while.

After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected.

However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper.“

“Good food, nice fun ambiance and good Sangria!“

“Ordered for the first time tonight. We had a pretty big order. Staff was very nice and even gave us a few "extras". Food was delicious!! Will def be ordering again!“

“Excellent service! Welcoming, clean, nice vibe and atmosphere! I will definitely return plenty more times!!!“

“Perfect girls night out! The food was delicious and our waitress, Oreo, gave just the right recommendations. It has a great atmosphere to have dinner and stay after for drinks while listening to the deejay. The place turns from a quiet dinner to deejay vibes. They have a patio that we’ll definitely try out in the summer. Definitely coming back.“

“Had amazing cinco de Mayo!! Thanks for the t shirts ! Great service great food best drinks and beyond great dessert.“

“Mesita hosted my wedding yesterday. The staff were incredibly helpful from start to finish. And the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! 10/10 recommend!“

“I love this place excellent service And the food delicious“

“I love coming here. Great juices! Love it very much! ImThey have passion fruit juice, pineapple juice, coconut juice, horchata, and cantaloupe/melon juice etc.! 💕 It is delicious! My friend orders the Mexican hotdog and loves it. It comes with ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, onions, tomatoes. He said it is very good! My other friend orders the “ Tacos dorados” with chicken and they come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and sour cream on top. My friend says these are very good too. Maybe could use more flavor he says but still they are very good! Photos are attached! They have a good Mexican steak torta which is a steak sandwich that comes with Mexican cheese, beans, guacamole, a sauce, lettuce, tomato, it is very good and I like it!!! The yellow lemonade in the photos with the steak torta is not from them. I also love their brown juice which is “tamarindo / tamarind” !!! Their other juices are very good as well !!!! 😋“

“Espectacular 🥰🥰 todo muy rico“

“Pasamos una despedida de año espectacular los meseros muy atentos los tragos muy buenos la atención en si muy recomendada aparte la comida deliciosa 👍“

“First time there and the food and the staff were great. Bear tacos and the margaritas were excellent. Definitely will be back.“

“The staff are wonderful...the food is great...and the drinks are insane....especially the Corona-Ritas! A little hidden gem in East Rockaway. Fun hangout on a Summer day for sitting outside and enjoying adult beverages.“

“exelente atención todo el tiempo“

“Food was good, staff friendly and they had sports on.“

“Our family hosted a luncheon for approx 25 people at Cabo in the atrium space at the rear of the restaurant. Angelo and his team were outstanding! The quality and diverse selection of the food was second to none! Not only were our meat eaters satisfied, but so were our vegan and gluten free guests. Angelo and his staff were so attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend Cabo for anyone looking for a private party space but also for that nice dinner with friends. Great atmosphere and value. Well done Cabo!!“
