I love this wonderful little Place. We have been eating here for over 21 years. We found this little gem when we moved here. I've tried other Mexican places in New Rochelle, but we still come back to Mexican Corner. Most delicious food. ​ read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, authentic the chicken soup with fresh broth and cilantro and avocado slices and fresh chunks of chicken inside. I've been coming here for years. I took mom and my grandma for yrs here unfortunately they passed away took my bf first time boyfriend there and now he's in love too. The chicken platter the chicken cutlet breaded It is so good. It's so thin and crispy. The staff is excellent. May not be as big as the other restaurants but they're true to themselves and that's what I like about the little restaurants authentic food made fresh. read more

As New Mexicans, we are used to very good Mexican/New Mexican food. We stumbled upon The Mexican Corner Restaurant while headed elsewhere to eat. Struck by their menu, especially the birria quesadillas, as well as their friendly staff, we decided to eat there and were we ever glad! Their chips are freshly fried tortillas, puffy and crisp, nothing like any from a bag, accompanied by pico de gallo, tomatillo sauce and a red salsa, all deliciously spicy. Even the refried beans and rice were a cut above the usual. And the birria quesadillas were savory and so satisfying. The serving was plenty for the two of us, so a very reasonable dinner all around. Lucky people who live here and can eat here all the time! read more

Salsas Galore in a Mexican Restaurant in New Rochelle Mexican restaurants aren't my favorites. But each cuisine and every authentic restaurant I try is a learning opportunity, and a glimpse of the culture and my way of meeting locals. That's why I don't only go to favorites, I try different places. And when I'm in the mood to ask questions to wait staff, restaurant managers, owners and chefs, I come right when they opened because it's not yet busy and the staff are usually more accommodating. Recently, we did go to a neighborhood Mexican spot with a big selection of Mexican classics. On this visit, I noticed that this cuisine is big on sauces and dips. John, the manager, educated us on their sauces that he was so proud of. First is salsa de arbol that are always two kinds, the verde (green) and the rojo (red). He even showed us the fried chilis used for making the red sauce. Another familiar sauce that I like is the pico de gallo, a fermented sauce usually made with fermenting agent such as rice water or whey. It's made with fresh chopped tomato, cilantro, onions, serrano peppers, salt and lime juice. Being fermented, adding pico de gallo to food is a big boost to the gut and microbiome. Then we have the sauces for our enchiladas (I forgot to take pictures) that are also two -- salsa verde and the mole. The salsa verde is distinct from the green salsa de arbol. It's made creamier and more herby. Then there is the mole, a classic Mexican sauce made with chocolate, dried chiles, peanuts, sesame seeds, cinnamon and anise. And of course, we had the guacamole, an avocado-based sauce that is popular all over the world. Last but not the least is the bottled Tapa Tio, it's a Mexican hot sauce brand that I often seen in many Mexican restaurants. We had an abundance of sauce. And guess what --- they all came free with the food while other restaurants would have charged extra. #curious_eater #supportinglocalbusinesses #nrny #newrochelleny read more

Had a wonderful dinning experience at this family restaurant. The presentation of everything we ordered was done so tastefully. And the flavors knocked it out of the park. Don't pass up an opportunity to dine here! read more

The food, service and pricing was on point. We had brunch on a weekend and it was delicious! The steak and eggs were perfection and their salsa (with sweet citrusy touch) was the perfect complement. We will come back! read more

First time being here and the attention/service by the staff was amazing! It felt like I was at home. Will definitely be coming back

Unassuming from the outside, but this place certainly checks a lot of boxes! The decor is modest and simple, but it makes for a homey atmosphere that feels far more authentic than most other glitzy Mexican restaurants. The staff were nice and the prices were pretty standard. Chips and salsa tasted homemade, but I found the salsa overwhelmingly sweet. Rest of the food was good- certainly above average- but nothing to rave home about. However, I don't think it's fair to come here with your standards that high. This place certainly met my standards for a casual "corner restaurant" in New Rochelle. read more

The food here is delicious and authentic. I really enjoyed my meal ! The desserts are good as well and the Mexican cocoa was out of this world. I recommend this restaurant! read more

This place is awesome. Home made tortilla chips were the best. I got a carnitasb dish, and my sorry gringo ass was expecting shredded pork (like at Chipotle), so I was a little disappointed to find out cut into chunks... but let me tell you... that dish is delicious, served with rice, refried beans, avocado, and caramelized onion... I would have finished it, but then I'd soon be looking for a public bathroom and might have to resort to a port-o-potty on a construction site... definitely no-can-do! This is a fairly small restaurant, and the service is great. John, the owner, is on the floor and very approachable. Every restaurant owner knows that their restaurant is only half as good when they're not around... I've done it myself. John says he's been there for almost 30 years. Bravo, John... I don't live nearby, but I'll be back soon. read more

I'm so sorry but you know that horrible feeling g you get when your craving Mexican and you don't get that good authentic Mexican flavor? Yea that's what happened here. I got fish tacos, 2 fried & 1 grilled ($15) and they weren't good at all. The fried fish was soggy with grease, and tasteless, I got 3 tasteless sauces to go with it. I actually got a stomache ache after this meal which never happens to my iron clad tummy so I don't know how fresh the fish was? The man who took my order was very nice, but this review isnt about the service its about the fish tacos. Happy Yelping. read more

I rode my scooter over from Mt Vernon, because every weekend, I am always on the search for the best authentic Mexican food. This is a simple, unassuming place, very clean, with outstanding service that makes the customer feel like family. The food didn't blow me away, but I would make the trip to try it at least one more time, based on the service and the cleanliness of the place. read more

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. We keep trying new ones, just to explore, but keep coming back here. The atmosphere is simple, but homey and clean. We have gotten to know the husband/wife owners over the years, who are friendly and chatty with us whenever they are there. The wait staff is friendly, efficient and helpful. The food is fresh and authentic (to the extent we can attest as Americans). Some of my favorites are the flautas, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, pozole, horchata, etc. Prices are reasonable and a variety of beers are served. Highly recommended. read more

WOW. My boyfriend and I went here for a quick bite and as per usual it was amazing. The service is impeccable and you feel at home with chips and salsa so delicious and authentic. Both of our meals came out relatively quickly and the flavor/quality is amazing. The chicken chimichangas are a perfect size meal and my boyfriend finished his plate. I got my chicken enchiladas and felt like I was in heaven! Both meals are hearty, flavorful and delicious. The place is cash only and we got 2 large meals and 2 non alcoholic drinks for less than $30! Will definitely be returning read more

With the innumerable Mexican restaurants in downtown New Ro, you could live here for years before ever wandering into Mexican corner, unassumingly tucked on Main & Lawton. But not only is this my favorite Mexican restaurant in New Rochelle, it's probably my favorite Mexican restaurant outside of Mexico. Family owned and operated with reasonable prices and mouthwatering food make this place an instant favorite. The hot, fresh, crispy chips and pico de gallo start every meal on a good note, and every last detail, down to the after dinner mints, follow suit. HIGHLIGHTS: sweet plantains, chimichangas, Carne Asada.... and of course the lovely staff LOWLIGHTS: they only take cash, and parking can be tricky especially on weekends so come prepared! read more

Good food at great prices. Awesome staff and owner. A staple of downtown New Rochelle. Highly recommend.

Fantastic, carefully prepared Mexican classics. Tonight, we had pollo con Pina, thin cutlet with grilled pineapple and wonderful frijoles and rice. We also had combo 16, a delicious Chile relleno and 2 shredded chicken enchiladas. Various salsas were provided. Will take photos next time!! read more

I was originally going to the Colombian place next door but due to the wait and being hungry, we skipped over to the Mexican corner. Upon arriving the hostess was nice we were seated within minutes and greeted by our waiter Tito. The guacamole was good the lady who made it was super nice. They make it fresh at your table which is a cute detail. The margaritas are good, I had one in the rocks and had to switch it to frozen because it was too strong! Our waiter was bilingual but when we spoke to him in Spanish he would speak English when we spoke English he's speak Spanish. I honestly prefer he spoke Spanish because it was challenging to comprehend but no big deal. I specifically ask for Parmesan cheese because I DO NOT want melted cheese. He bring me a side of shredded cheese. We ordered the platter with carne asada chicken and shrimp cokes with rice beans and tortillas. We never received our tortillas, the portion of rice is a JOKE! Literally less than a spoonful it's like an ice cream scoop, I don't even know how to explain. The beans portion was more than the rice I had to order a second rice. Now the meats Was ridiculous. The shrimp was undercooked literally barely had color because they weren't cooked. The chicken cutlet was also undercooked you can tell as soon as you bit into it. We did not eat it. The steak was the only thing we were able to eat. By this time the restaurant was now busy the waiter is attending multiple tables and we were disgusted disappointed and couldn't even flag him down because when we waved he wouldn't even notice. My daughter had chicken tenders and it's literally chicken cutlet in strips and fried in bread crumbs but she ate them. So after we are disgusted with our food we ask for the check and are ready to go. We pay our bill and leave the tip in cash. The gratuity was NOT included and was OPTIONAL.... With the service we received we left less than 20% for a party of 4, but nonetheless WE LEFT A TIP! Tito was unappreciative and felt the need to follow us out the door and ask if we weren't leaving him a service tip to which I replied. The tip is in there. And he said this? I was in disbelief that he had the audacity. We took a loss with his bad service taking long for everything, having to get up to find him because we could never flag him down, with the bad food we didn't eat and decided not to complain about it, with missing our tortillas, and we paid our bill and left gracefully. That was distasteful and his behavior was worse than the undercooked food! Will never go there, I would've given the food another chance but TITOS service, is a deal breaker for me. Never again. read more

I really like this place. Sure the seats could stand to be reupholstered, and the smoke from the kitchen gets into your hair. . . but so what? If you're that uppity go somewhere that keeps a spare "sports coat" on hand in case you didn't get a chance to pick your dinner jacket up from the dry cleaners. Ok, the food is good and the wait staff is as friendly as they can be (for English being their second language) but I don't mind, I'm no elitist. The portions are spot on for a grown man's appetite. By the time you shovel that last fork full into your gaping mouth you're completely full. . . and if you're like me (hate seeing food go to waste, and hate putting a stinky doggy bag in your car) you'll leave feeling satisfy on two levels. One because you ate, so now you're full and you're happy. . . and two, nothing went to waste. The food is always fresh, colorful, and flavorful. So give it a chance. The owner is usually bussing tables and is both nice and friendly. You'll feel good spending your money here. read more

I only gave one star because I couldn't go any lower. After seeing prior reviews, which were mostly good reviews, I decided to try their food. I should have gone with the few negative reviews which seem to be accurate. The guacamole was watery and had no flavor, the pico de Gallo was sweet, chicken fajitas lacked chicken and flavor. I love Mexican food and this was definitely not authentic Mexican food/flavor. I was extremely disappointed, would not recommend to anyone!!!! read more

Great Mexican food. Been coming here for several years and never disappointed with quality of food. Owner and staff are very friendly. They even stop by to say hello and to make sure everything is ok with the service. Highly recommend. read more

This restaurant is so inviting! The doors were wide open letting in the summer air, and they were selling a large selection of aguas frescas at the entry. We tried pineapple and tamarindo. Large servings and very refreshing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our large group which included a few children. I had the chicken sopes (my favorite) and my wife had the chimichangas. Very reasonably priced. There are many Mexican spots in New Rochelle, but this one is tops on my list. read more

I wish I lived closer, though it might be best I don't, I would be wanting to eat here every day! The servers were very attentive, we were greeted right away with crispy chips and salsa and a warm hello.

One of the best restaurants in the city of New Rochelle. My parents have been clients since before I was born, I went as a child and now I bring my spouse every week.

This is my new favorite restaurant! I ordered Gazpacho and a shrimp salad. Everything was so fresh and delicious. My husband had tacos and a small burrito-enchilada combo.

The food was very good! The servers were patient and attentive. My friend ordered the burrito and empanada combo and I had the flauta and quesadilla combo. You could tell the meat was freshly made, and we did not have to wait very long for the food. We also tried a freshly made drink called sorrel, which was very tasty. With everything we got, it only came up to about $23. I gave them a great tip because the servers definitely earned it. My two criticisms are the following: -Pico de gallo was not very tasty -sorrel drink did not taste like real jamaican sorrel (but then again it is a mexican restaurant, not a jamaican one). Overall, I would 100% go again. I think everyone should try this place out. read more

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to. The food is good a the people are even better.

Best Mexican food in the area. The owner is very kind and approachable. Food is delicious!

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Westchester. The food is very fresh and the owner once helped me change a flat that I happened to get on Main Street in front of the restaurant. I love the ground beef tacos and the horchata is a must. My family only goes to this Mexican restaurant and takeout is equally as good. read more

COME HERE! SERIOUSLY. We sat outdoors and were treated to such a nice evening. The food was truly amazing. The service was lovely. The owners made time to chat with us and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. There are apartments above the restaurant and I am now seriously considering moving to one of them....this place is that good. read more

I got the three tacos with guacamole. Lamb , steak, and pork. My most favorite one was the lamb, Delicious !! The manager John was so kind and welcoming. He knew it was my first time , he charged me no tax and gave me sauces that I could try. We exchange words about what's going on in the media. He was really kind! I'm so glad that I finally was able to give this place a try, it's LONG overdue! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Was in the neighborhood shopping and couldn't resist the awesome aroma coming out of this restaurant. Just love the owner and his staff. Such friendly personable folks. I had the #7 combo and liked it. I'll be back because I really want to try so many more items. I'll update later but for now I like everything about the place. read more

Decided to try this place for the first time and man was it a disappointment. First we got free chips and pico. But the pico was not pico. It was like a sweet pico and it was not authentic. Even after adding lime and salt it just didn't help it. I ordered two tacos carne Asada and the meat was so bland. It's like they didn't spice the meat at all. The rice and beans were nothing special. The horchata wasn't even authentic horchata. It was like a super water down horchata. Wasn't even sweet. Had to sweeten it up myself. It's cash only which is very annoying. Overall I would say go to another spot for Mexican food. This place just lacks flavors and spices. Taco Bell has more flavor to their food then this place. read more

I ordered two soft tacos and was not satisfied when I arrived home and saw the contents of the container. The tacos, one chicken and the other steak, were weighed down by a large slice of cucumber, and a wedge of tomato, While the chicken one had more filling, the steak barely had any. Have a feeling that I was overcharged. Needless to say, I will never buy food from this restaurant again. read more

Everything about this place is on point. You have a wide selection of authentic Mexican food cooked to perfection. My family has been coming here for years and they never disappoint. I ALWAYS get the chimichanga meal (#14). I've been searching for better chimichangas in the city for so long and can't seem to find anywhere better than Mexican Corner. Take the drive down to New Rochelle and have yourself some DELICIOUS Mexican food. You'll love it! Good parking near area. read more
