32 Best Mexican Restaurants near Washingtonville

“We had to go to my in-laws to help them and needed dinner so my wife found this place and I looked at their menu and saw the family size for us and thought perfect. Not only was the food good but I saved ten percent by ordering online which I liked. We live in Florida NY, but I’d be willing to go here again and try some other dishes.“

“5-Stars! Amazing place! Excellent staff!! Fun - Fabulous environment! Truly the BEST!!“

“Miren, this restaurant is FANTASTIC!!!! I barely ever rave about restaurants but, DAMN!!! This place will have you thriving in a nice food coma. Everything is made in house, the portions are large, the atmosphere is kind and the owner, BIG HIGH FIVE TO HER! 5/5 from my end!“

“As a real estate agent I’m always living out of my car driving from showings to a Warwick open house stumbled upon this gem and could not have been more thrilled with the food and service. I was greeted promptly, food to go came out incredibly quick.
The ingredients are super fresh with thinly cut onions and cilantro topping my taco trio. I tried the aged beef, chorizo and al pastor. Hard to say which was the favorite as they were all excellent and flavorful but the Al pastor oh boy! The flavor, delicately sliced cooked pineapple…. I see why they double up the tortillas! These babies were filled!!
Truly can’t wait to wind up here again. Top notch.“

“I’m sorry I have no photos of the three best tacos I’ve probably ever had (camarones, pollo, and carne asada), the beautifully simple and fresh side salad (complete with onion, radish, tomato, and avocado), or my husband’s carne asada enchiladas verde—we were both too busy inhaling them. Do your tastebuds a favor and stop here. If we lived closer, we’d be weekly regulars. We used to live in NYC and hubby called it the best Mexican food in New York state. Gracias, Viva Mexican!“

“Weeknight first time at this restaurant- perfect little spot for tasty Mexican and a first date.

THE GOOD: I had 3 tacos al pastor and shared 3 empanadas. Definitely seasoned well and spicy. The tacos were smaller than normal-I definitely craved more. Guacamole was yummy. Chips and salsa are simply table holdovers & could be tough to get that salsa right- but theirs was nice. All the food was delicious and hot. Cute spot/decor. It was packed for it to not be a weekend day. We knew the food would be good and would not disappoint. The staff was great.

THE SHAMEFUL: It's a damn shame they are not closer to me. I'd be a regular!

Great job guys- keep it up!“

“Our first time visiting Monarca and it was excellent. I chose the cammarones (shrimp with mushrooms and tequila) with the charro. (The charro!!! ?) So good! We ordered the queso which was spicy and very tasty. Margaritas were so good. We all left stuffed and satisfied. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. I loved the decor, the seating and ambiance. I'm surprized to see some of the comments here. People do have to realize a new business doesn't just open and run like clockwork. It takes time for staff to gel and get a system down. Its unrealistic to not expect that a brand new establishment needs time to work out kinks. That's why Im glad we waited to visit until now because we were very pleased and will be back!! Thank you Monarca.“

“I enjoy their fresh orange juices & tamales are so savory and delicious.

Been here 3/4 times for breakfast and usually order the same. Chorizo with egg and Chilaquiles verdes. Café de olla & fresh orange juice.

The chorizo with eggs comes with rice and beans. This combo pairs perfectly well with their home made tortillas. Just like back home.

You get a good portion of chilaquiles with cecina, sour cream and fresh cheese. The first couple of time they were really good. This last weekend the sauce was very bitter, yes tomatillo can do that (if overcook or not cooked property)& there was no salt, bitterness was overpowering. They just added the tortillas, sauce on top & didn’t allow for this 2 items to marinate properly. They have great food but lack of execution will give poor results.

The tamales are always good. No disappointment there. Fresh and fluffy and spicy enough to be devour.

Orange juice is squeeze as you order which makes the flavor more intense.

Stop by!!

Parking: Plenty ?️ parking located on side of building.“

“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!!!“

“Everyone is really courteous and smiley. the food is always consistently fresh. Great to have Mexican food in Cornwall and this place has a variety of options“

“3 stars for atmosphere bc we only had it delivered. We were a little scared that the restaurant is in a Mobil gas station (after we had already ordered) but man it was good! We had El Pastor and Beef (ground beef) burritos. The side orders of salsa, sour cream, and jalapeño were larger than we expected. We ordered double-burrito specials.Burritos were loaded with meat, rice, cheese, guac, beans, and fresh cilantro.Would definitely recommend ordering for take out. With tax, tip, and GrubHub fees, it was nearly double the price. But unlike others who have posted, our GrubHub driver was punctual and friendly.“

“Business is picking up. Very busy and now has entertainment on weekends. Very nice staff and food was very good.“

“Great food and atmosphere! Highly recommend“

“I have a tradition of ordering tacos for my family every year for my birthday. Of course we missed last year due to Covid-19 shutdown. New owners now, but the tacos were even better than ever. My family couldn't get enough. Now I can get my son interested in eating there. (I grew up in Southern California and had one Mexican great grandmother so I take my Mexican food seriously. I also spent two summers in Mexico with my best friend's family.) So go and eat there....they are truly bilingual.)“

“In my party, two of us had tacos, one beef and one shrimp. Both of us found those delicious. Another member of our party had chicken burrito, which was also enjoyed. In particular, we loved the homemade hot sausage. Well I preferred the green, my husband loved the spicy. Absolutely! We recommend this restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: When we entered the restaurant, a man was there with his young toddler. The owner was welcoming to him as well as to my son.“

“My ground beef burrito was great! My husband got food poisoning from his steak burrito though 🙃
Edit to add: they were very quick to address my issue and dealt with it accordingly. I added a star because they were kind and considerate and truly concerned“

“My #1 Mexican restaurant after visiting for the second time. Food was fresh and simply irresistible, just wow. The owner was super friendly and nice. This will be my go to Mexican food and when I want to invite friends and family.“

“The food is always delicious. My kids can be picky eaters at times but they always eat what we order here. The staff is super friendly too! The pizza is really good too“

“I eat here with friends often and live fairly close. However the four times I have ordered at night to have food delivered, there is ALWAYS something missing. Tonight I got NO flour tortillas for my fajitas! Usually they would bring the missing item out to me but tonight all I got was "the mailbox on this number has not been set up yet". I can't drive at night so I had home delivery but I think I'm finally done with them.“

“Pretty good food. Looks like a family owned business. I loved the vibe of the restaurant, walking in to what seems like a bodega in Mexico. The lady (might be the mom) was very attentive to all of the customers, she came by our table almost every 5 minutes asking us if we needed anything at all. The free salsa was pretty good. I would def come back when I’m in the area. We ordered a lot of tacos. The carnitas was OK but the spicy pork, al pastor and the sausage tacos was really good. Good food for a very decent price!!!“

“This food truck has the best authentic Mexican food in the area without a doubt. I've been to other businesses in the area and their food is top tier compared to other authentic places in the area. I've only started going there last month and I'm not turning back :)“

“First time eating in this great restaurant. Service was on point employees very respectful and very kind. The taco pizza was delicious. Will definitely come again and try other food. Prizes were great 👍. Very good environment. Will definitely recommend it. The agua horchata was so delicious 🤤 everyone should give it a try .“

“Beautiful looking place. My daughter loved it too. Very clean.“

“Delicious, fresh, filling. parking is hard to find. order with the app, save yourself some wait time.“
