50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Whitestone

“This family run restaurant serves super duper tasty, authentic Mexican cuisine. I loved the Mulita pastor. Everything is high quality right down to the limes. They even make their own hot sauces! Best of all, the folks working here are so sweet and attentive. It was my first time in this neighborhood but I wish this place was closer so I could come a lot.“

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

“Drove all the way here from New Jersey and it was worth the drive!!!!!!! 20/10 food & customer service! Luz was very welcoming and gave great recommendations. The guac and chips didn’t last for too long as you can tell by the picture. but the quesabirria, enchilada and tacos are a must buy!! i’ll probably be back to eat tomorrow lol“

“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 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.“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

“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!“

“Comida súper autentica, deliciosa, sabrosa y los precios súper accesibles! 100% recomendado“

“Taqueria Tlaxcalli is absolutely delicious!“

“i never had a burrito in my life and never planned on having one but when i had there chicken burrito i fell in love and only get burritos from here faithfully. I even worked at chipotle for sum time and didn’t even eat burritos there. this is the spot ive been coming here for years but every couple of
months cause i live far. but i make sure i make that trip everytime im around. last time i ate at the place they treated me like family. they insisted i pay after my meal and im done and kept attending to me with either extra suace or a drink. i love them it’s like a homey mexican kitchen that ur teleported in.“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious!“

“My favorite place. I love to go there everyday.“

“Was here for the first time Awesome all around - everyone friendly - great food - great entertainment !“

“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“

“When we review restaurants it should be in the context of what they are, and what they are for. This is a beyond serviceable lunch spot that seems to invalidate existence of the nearby chipotle, and possibly even the nearby sweet green.

The food is fresh, the prices are reasonable and the portions are immense. The staff is friendly and the place is clean.

The food is also, by the way, quite tasty.

There are a lot of lunch options in the neighborhood but this is clearly one of the best if you are seeking a chipotle style meal.

I feel as if given the context I have no choice but to give this place five stars“

“Me and my daughter, enjoyed this restaurant so much during our Mommy and Me weekend! The atmosphere was laid back and quite relaxing. The service was superb and the food was so good, we had to order food to bring home. I would give this establishment 6 stars if I could. We were both very pleased and we will be dining here again very soon. If you have not been here, you should definitely give them a visit. Peace and Love, Chele from the Block.“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“Chill location in Bronx, near Arthur Ave.

Tacos were perfect, frozen margarita were from another league and churros were amazing.
To add, service was fast and you always feel like your being served by a relative and not a stranger.

To add it all, pricing is a great value with respect to quality and service.

100% would come back“

“Affordable, fresh, and quality service! The ahi tuna is always really tasty and fresh. Can’t go wrong with their chips and guac/salsa, burrito, or tacos Mexicanos. I do recommend dining there if you’re going to get the nachos to make sure that the chips are crispy. Nachos are tasty for delivery too but nothing beats eating them extra fresh in the restaurant. The aguas frescas are also a must try! Definitely check this spot out if you’re local or order for delivery! The guy at the front is always super friendly and portions are BIG!“

“Loved this spot! Great food and service!“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Was skeptical about this place at first because I didn't want to pay $5 for one fish taco (shame on me) BUT after tasting it... I was hooked! Especially since they use cod and not tilapia like other places do.
The establishment is authentic and the food tastes like it with really reasonable prices and great food. Now fyi the guac and churros aren't the best by themselves. You should order the guac mixed in and the churros.. I don't know what to advise on that one but hey you might like it.. idk
The agua frescas are delicious especially the watermelon when in season.
I can definitely say try them for that quick casual local neighborhood spot that will satisfy your cravings for Mexican food. ❤️“

“Saludo banda estoy aquí Las chilangas les recomiendo que la quesadilla 🌮están súper delicioso vengan ah pasar con sus familia y el servicio es espectacular.“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Best birria tacos out there. Amazing consome. Two tacos each and we split a (large?) consome. Reasonably priced - I can’t imagine much else in the area is as affordable. Took about 20 mins after ordering, but we didn’t mind. The guys working the line were putting in overtime. Take out orders continuously pumped out to a never ending revolving door of doordashers. Pretty loud and chaotic but that was part of the fun of it. A few small tables and a small bar-style counter to sit at. Looked like a small market in the store as well. 10/10“

“This place is a true gem!
Authentic, delicious quality food, friendly service and festive, yet intimate atmosphere.
The restaurant is clean, welcoming, Victor was friendly, helpful and entertaining. I ordered the special, Surf & Turf with diablo sauce as a main dish. Very flavorful. Freshly made guacamole was very good with chunky avocado and lime taste.
We enjoyed dining here.
We'll definitely come back to try other dishes!“

“The music is always on point. Come on a sunday if you are into Karoke, it is a vibe.“

“Food and service is AMAZING! You NEED to try this place out! Will be coming back more often to try out every item on the menu 😋“

“Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“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“

“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!“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! The meat is juicy and flavorful. Really hit the spot. It’s hard to believe we have authentic Mexican cuisine in east queens. But this place hits. We will definitely come back

Huge bonus to the service and free tortillas chips & salsa

There special items on weekends such as Taco de oreja and Taco de lengua“

“This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“We had a great time here, everyone enjoyed their food. They backyard decor was so eclectic and fun. I had a vegetarian dish that was soo good, cheese and zucchini I dont remember the name. Everyone enjoyed their cocktail and their meal. We also got a dessert which was tasty too.“

“Lo recomiendo por el hambiente porque el servicio de las meseras es pesimo y la comida y los tragos tardan mas de una hora en entregartelos despues de ordenarlos y aunque ya tengas reservacion toda via tendras que esperar en la Estrada del restaurante un buen tiempo.“

“I come here almost every week and I’m kind of obsessed with it. The decor is wildly eccentric — there’s an ice cream shop setup that never seems to be active, these indoor-patio-type structures, and a whole bar world in the back I’ve still never explored. You even pay at what looks like a candy-shop counter. It’s just fantastic.

It’s also almost always empty, which I truly don’t understand, because the food is great. The menu is mostly classic Mexican fare, but nearly every dish I’ve tried has some unique little twist that shows they’re really putting in the work.

I’ve gotten pretty enamored with this place. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“food is tasty and fresh. service is very pleasant atmosphere is welcoming I will be back“

“Delicious food and drinks ! The waiter was so nice! Very clean place ! There handmade tortillas reminded me of Mexico! We had the ribeye. Shrimp cocktail. Pizza birria. For drinks the pineapple fresh water was the best one. Would definitely be back on the weekend to try their Chivo!“

“awesome menu items great service“

“We had a great time at this location. The atmosphere was cool, the music wasn’t loud, the waiter were busy. For appetizers we had the “CORN ESQUITES” and it was delicious. For our meal we had a feast of food. We try different types of tacos (AL PASTOR, BAJA CRISPY FISH, BEEF RIBEYE DELUXE” and their burritos and it was great! The price of the tacos were steep, I ain’t going to lie. Also if you like American style tacos with lots of cheese and sauces, then these might not be the tacos for you. The alcoholic drink were good! The “Mexican” soda in the bottle was flat for us.

Street parking in this area is not the best.

The food was great.“

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

“Great attitude and vibes from the staff, Food is amazing and have great juices to choose from. Don't even remember the first time i came here but always find myself coming back because of the quality of the service and food. Definitely a must go to place in New Rochelle.“

“Looking for good tacos for the longest and finally found them here. Every bite of the pastor, chorizo and asada filled me with joy. The drinks were amazing and the churros were to die for. Please visit this establishment and continue to visit because you won’t find tacos like this anywhere else.“

“We love the ambiance! A week later after our wedding we came here to eat. We told genesy how we recently got married and she treated us very well with her customer service and the food . Today we still visit and her costumer service is amazing. The entire staff are incredible and the vibe is out of this world. Highly recommend and please feel free to ask questions when confused about the amazing Mexican traditional food entrees. The entrees are great and FRESH! Gracias por su servicio a todos!“

“Date night at Chela & Garnacha! Ordered the chicken burrito and the gf got the mole enchiladas and it was delicious! Margaritas were good! Staff was friendly and attentive ensuring we had our drinks replenished and was clearing out our table with the finished dishes. The restaurant was cozy with dim lights and felt intimate. Definitely a first date spot and will come back for sure! Highly recommend it! Will try the quesadillas next!“

“This place is a must-go to spot. I got the tamales preparados and they were soo good. The tamales were generously sized, filled with plenty of chicken, and not overly oily. In addition, the prices were very reasonable. What truly made the experience welcoming, however, were the owners themselves. They were kind, friendly, and it’s clear they put genuine care into both their food and the business they are running.“

“It’s really good the food portion is excellent the taste and flavor is good I highly recommend to try out Al chile I rate this a 9/10“

“Grandma style cooking! Delicious, affordable, generous portions. Family owned and quaint. The burritos are the size of your head and the al pastor is amazing. The birria tacos are delicious so juicy to dip. Love the salsa verde on everything! Try the mole tamales on the weekends you won’t be disappointed- always fresh and steamy. If you’re looking for high quality home cooking this is the place to go. Happy to have you in our community- making City Island a better place. 10/10 would recommend to everybody.“
