    Cowboy steak and potato wedges

    Best Mexican food I've had in NY by far. Great atmosphere and family friendly. Staff were great and the food was amazing. Definitely one of the few hidden gems on Long Island.

    Delicious combo Fajitas!

    Found this hidden gem while husband and I were heading to a store in the Medford area. Right a way I began researching reviews on Yelp. Recognized one of my Yelp peeps, Bill S. Bill is very thorough and highly respected in the Yelp community so when I saw his 5 star review I was sold. Two hours later we were there. Walked in the clean spacious restaurant approximately 3pm on Sunday. It was quiet so we enjoyed each other's company at the bar. Absolutely love the pretty decor and the abundance of Mexican history. In every direction you are met with interesting artifacts, copied photographs and newspaper articles and so much more. The front window is decorated with healthy cactuses from California. I had the pleasure to meet one of the pleasant owners named Luis. He took me for a 15 minute tour and educated me on Mexican History. I truly appreciated that!!! We were warmly greeted by staff and immediately received colored nacho chips and homemade salsa. We complimented that with fresh guacamole and beautifully crafted margaritas. Absolutely perfect! Next we shared the chicken and steak fajita combo mix. Again, absolutely perfect. Served sizzling and delicious. Reasonably priced too! At the end we were presented with a tequila called Mezcal. If I heard this correctly it is a tequila that is baked in a rock lined pit over charcoal which gives it a smokey flavor. A first for us that we can aquire a taste for very guickly. What a delightful surprise to inadvertently find this amazing restaurant. The staff and service were so helpful and right on point. They cleary take pride in this establishment. Thank you Bill S. For highlighting this hidden gem. We will definitely return. Can't wait to try the tacos! Best wishes Little Mexico!!

    This has to be a fairly new Mexican restaurant in this area! When I go out with old coworkers, we usually look for a sit down Mexican restaurant. When we were trying to figure out a spot, we did a Yelp search and found that this was one we haven't been to yet! We decided to go on an adventure! Boy were we pleasantly surprised! Located in a little strip mall with ample parking, we walked in to a super trendy looking spot! There were not a lot of diners at the time we went, but I am constituting that to people not really know this place exists. Upon walking in you immediately come across an very open dining area with tables pretty far apart from each other. There was also a nice looking bar towards the front of the restaurant. The bar made me want to come back for happy hour...sadly they don't have a happy hour...that won't stop me from coming back to that bar...I digress. We ordered a round of drinks from the cocktail menu. They have an awesome selection... my first drink, I didn't really care for, but it wasn't because it was made poorly. It was because it was a bit spicy/smoky in taste. Not my scene. After ordering my sangria I was MUCH happier. To start, we put in an order of guacamole. There was so much, that could have been my dinner itself. My friends and I kept commenting about how much guac they gave us and how we can save it for our dinner. That's exactly what we did! And for dinner, I got the salmon over a pepper sauce. The salmon was cooked just right! The sauce wasn't a spicy pepper sauce, rather it was made with sweet peppers and was soooooo tasty! To end the meal, I had a Rumchata night cap, while my friends had coffee. We had such a wonderful time, and this might be a new spot where we occasionally meet. The decor was super cute and the service was top notch! I really hope more people check this place out!

    Al Pastor taco trio
    Bill S.

    It's funny but I laugh at myself, my last review I said I had "the" best tacos on Long Island? Well, Little Mexico Restaurant is making their own tacos with fresh masa. I just finished lunch, it was truly an experience. Little Mexico restaurant isn't a grab and go taco spot. This is a restaurant, a place where you can bring your family to have a nice dinner. The space inside is very large, the restaurant can accommodate both large and small parties. I'm here for lunch, freshly made salsa and a basket of colorful chips are brought to my table. The drink menu looks substantial. First time here so I ordered a classic margarita. Top shelf liquor was used and I loved the dried lime topping my cocktail. The little details are evident in my drink, I can't wait to order lunch. I started with a bowl of pork-hominy stew called pozole. The depth and richness of flavors from this soup, kudos to the chef. The tacos, I thought I could mix and match but for lunch you cannot. I ordered a trio of Al Pastor tacos. The shells are all pressed and made on premise. Simply amazing. Truly authentic Mexican food being served in Medford. The next time I come back, it will be with my wife for dinner. The dinner menu looks great, listed are all mouth watering dishes. Little Mexico Restaurant is highly recommended.

    This place was amazing. I don't think near enough people know about it because the line should be out the door. The salsa was so smokey and the chips nice and salty. We got brunch and I got a play on eggs Benedict. The portion was huge and it was delicious and the price was reasonable. I will definitely be going back repeatedly. They obviously need more people but I think if it gets busy they will be able to hire. Definitely a little hidden gem.

    Mariachi band
    Pamela K.

    3 people + 5 entrees + 6 cocktails X 1 mariachi band = one great galentines Went to Little Mexico in Medford off Horseblock tonight and had a great time. The service was amazing and all the food tasted awesome. We skipped the apps and did extra entrees. Bone Marrow was new to me but it was served with diced steak and it was yummy. Really enjoyed the home made salsa. I got the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce which was awesome. My friend ordered the fajitas mix which had steak, shrimp and chicken - $21 what an amazing value My sister got the southwest salad with grilled chicken and chicken quesadillas and said it all tasted great And The cocktails were sooo good. I got the Besos Cachondos which was creamy and sweet My friend got the Sabor a Mi - very refreshing and yummy My sister got the Classic Margarita also very good. Service was great and everyone was friendly The band was also really fun and engaging They charged $5 per person for the band but they let us know before making a reservation. We tipped them as well when they played a song for our table. Overall 4/5 Great food and service, fun entertainment The reason for not giving a 5 was because my steak came out cold which sucks when food dies in the window but still tasted good. My party was also charged a service charge of 20% which the restaurant said was standard for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Not a big deal just unexpected to see on a party of 3 tab which included the $15 for the band as well. We will be back for sure.

    Red Enchiladas smothered with sour cream (on the left I tried to scrape it off) There were 4 enchiladas wasted.

    As you approach the restaurant from the outside, a huge faux cactus decorates the sidewalk, which is adorable. The inside was very big, and well Mexico-theme decorated and presented as very clean. Large bar area. We were escorted to our table and served tortilla chips and salsa. Salsa was good, chunky, mild salsa. It took a while before a server came for our drink order; apparently, she was also bartending. We put in our drink, appetizer, and entree order at the same time. Drinks and appetizers, which were Quesobirria Tacos, came quickly. The tacos, served with lime, along with the consumme were amazing!! Our entrees took quite a while to arrive, again, bartender also serving. My husband ordered the T-Bone Steak, which was perfectly cooked to his liking. He enjoyed it along with the mushroom cream sauce. It was served with grilled asparagus and spicy mashed potatoes. He didn't care for the spicy mashed potatoes, didn't make sense, and tasted like boxed mashed potatoes. I had the Red Enchiladas. Upon ordering, the Menu did not state sour cream or cheddar cheese. I asked if it was served with melted cheddar, and the server confirmed yes. The dish arrives smothered in sour cream, which I hate, and no cheddar cheese (it was cojita crumbles). I didn't touch it. When she saw it was untouched, I explained, and she apologized, asking if I would like anything else or something to go. But the wait was so painfully long, I declined, as was, just getting the bill. She did take a % off the bill for my meal. Overall, it was a decent experience.

    Excellent service! The bartender Sara and Owner Luis are so accommodating and welcoming. The food is delicious and the presentation is great. Love the ambiance in the restaurant. Their decor is warm and inviting. This will be my next favorite place to dine.

    Came here on a whim. It's in a random unassuming shopping center. It's very spacious inside and you kind of getting that shopping mall vibe everything is spread out. There's a bar in the corner which I might add makes delicious cocktails. Service is lackluster but the star is the food. Every thing and I mean everything was delicious l. Some of the best steak tacos I've had some of the best chicken I've ever had. I wanted the meat platter but I don't think he heard me and was confused and we got a totally different meal. Usually it would get sent back but I could tell they spent time and care making the food so I stuck with it. A huge platter for 6 people came out. It was So overwhelming lol.I was not disappointed however .Everything was delicious best meal I've had in a long while. Will definitely be back.

    Clearly open with an open door.

    Clearly arrived here 40 minutes before closing time and they would not seat us or let us order food. If you close when your kitchen closes then adjust your hours. Don't say you're open til 10 when you really close at 8:45.

Then, we didn't see our waitress for a long time until we finally asked the water guy to ask her to stop by. Which took a while again. We ordered more drinks. My son's soda was flat and my old fashioned tasted like it had a bite like rye vs bourbon, but I ignored it and drank it. About halfway through it changed to sweet - but so sweet it was like drinking syrup. It was never stirred so the bottom half was undrinkable. We asked for our waitress to get the check, and asked her to remove the flat soda and my old fashioned. She brought the check, nothing was removed. I explained again and asked the drinks to be removed. Next the bar manager came to our table. She explained to me how old fashioneds are made, that they're never stirred. And some people sip them, some drink them with a straw. I've drank old fashioneds for many years. They are always stirred. And never drank with a straw. But she claimed she's made these for years. Someone else came and told us she could take off the soda but not the old fashioned. I said I only drank half as they took it away. Well they won't take it off. So I asked for half my drink back if I have to pay for it. They gave me a new small drink. It was terrible. We paid the check, tipped the waitress in cash (she did nothing wrong other than being too busy). I cannot get over the bar manager speaking to me that way. We will not be back.

We were seated immediately in the room toward the back left corner where we were the only table occupying the space. In fact, as the evening progressed, no other diners/groups were seated back there, which was nice. We observed that although it was a Friday evening at prime dinner hour, the restaurant never got too full nor was the bar area buzzing. Again, it was nice that it wasn't so hectic in there, but we noted that as curious for a spot like this, on a Friday evening, and when the weather was pleasant. Starting with a high point: our server was really good. He was a very nice young man who let us know at the end of our meal that it was actually his first day on the job. While we could tell he didn't know everything about the menu - which is totally understandable given him being a new hire - he was kind, personable, and went above and beyond to provide excellent and timely service. As for the venue, it was nice although not upscale and that was just our speed for this evening. We loved having the room to sit comfortably at a setup that could comfortably seat 8. As for the food, it was decent although I wouldn't call anything I tasted fantastic. For apps, we shared 2 orders apiece of calamari, crab cakes, and lamb chops (6 apps total) with the chops being my favorite out of those. The calamari were small and didn't pack a lot of flavor but they were fried well. The marinara sauce that came with it was also fine but not remarkable. The crab cakes were a little mushy for our liking. For my entrée, I ordered the Lobster Rigatoni. There was plenty of lobster on top, the portion was more than solid, and it came out at the right temperature but the flavor again failed to really impress and was somewhere between "fine" to "good". For dessert, I ordered the chocolate lava cake, and I was truly disappointed by that. For starters, there was no gooey "lava" as the name implied, and the edges were dry and seemed overcooked. The flavor again fell a little flat and I didn't bother to finish it even though I am usually a huge fan of chocolate desserts. All in all, we had an enjoyable evening as a crew, but the food could be elevated a bit from a flavor standpoint. I would give the food a little better than a "3" but I think they have enough going for them that amping up the flavors could do wonders for their desirability and drawing more diners.
