My family and I have been coming to Mexico Grill for years, usually a few times a year, and we've generally had good experiences. Unfortunately, today's visit was easily the worst service we've ever received here. To be clear, the food was good, the chefs did their job, and the drinks were good. Our issue was specifically with our waitress, a young woman wearing glasses. Her service was horrible, and her attitude made the entire experience uncomfortable. From the beginning, she wasn't welcoming or enthusiastic whatsoever. We asked for ice lemon water and we were given warm water with lime on the side, received no napkins. My wife and I order other drinks and my drink was forgotten literally.. She never checked on us at our table. When we finished eating, our dirty plates were never collected and just sat there. We shouldn't have to keep trying to get our waiter's attention for basic things throughout a meal. She just wasn't near us. But was serving others. The part that really bothered us happened after we left. We accidentally left the top/cover to our daughter's bottle on the table. We realized it almost immediately and came back literally about four minutes later. My wife walked back inside and explained that she had accidentally left the bottle cover. The waitress simply told her, "Oh, I threw it out." No apology. No "I'm sorry, let me get it for you." No offer to retrieve it. Nothing. My wife actually had to tell her to go get it out of the garbage. Obviously, accidentally leaving the bottle piece behind was our mistake. But we had only been gone for 3 minutes. Something that clearly belongs to a child's bottle could easily have been placed to the side temporarily in case the customer came back--which is exactly what happened. Even if she had already thrown it away, basic courtesy would have been to apologize and immediately offer to retrieve it instead of making my wife ask. Again, the food and drinks were good! Never can complain about that, and we've enjoyed this restaurant plenty of times before. That's why I'm not criticizing the chefs or the restaurant's food. But our waitress today was extremely inattentive, unwelcoming, and rude, and her customer service was honestly unacceptable. After being customers here for years, this was by far our worst experience., usually a few times a year, and we've generally had good experiences. Unfortunately, today's visit was easily the worst service we've ever received here. To be clear, the food was good, the chefs did their job, and the drinks were good. Our issue was specifically with our waitress, a young woman wearing glasses. Her service was horrible, and her attitude made the entire experience uncomfortable. read more

Came in around dinner on Sunday and was greeted and seated quickly with my party of five. Wait staff was incredible, great attentive service. It took a while to get our cocktails but they all tasted great and were made personally by our server. Everyone was really happy with the food, and we got a variety of dishes. The complimentary salsa was some of the best I've had! Would definitely return, maybe for Cinco de Mayo coming up as the place was decorated beautifully ahead of the occasion. read more

Fast delivery. Good food, great prices. Local neighborhood gem. The guacamole portion with the chips was huge. The birria tacos were stuffed with meat and seasoned well. The pork skin was not crispy in those tacos not sure if the skin got soft because of the cheese and lettuce. read more

Best restaurant made salsa and chips I've had in NYC! Mexico Diner in Kensington, Brooklyn, NYC. A bunch of us did takeout tonight. I ordered the bistec encebollado and it was excellently marinated thin slices of beef with plentiful and tasty sweet onions with rice and beans. Large portions and priced inexpensively at $16 for that entree. Dined there many times indoors and outdoors. Their cocktails are good too. Outdoors is dog friendly. No photos today. I will have to beg for their salsa recipe though! read more

I absolutely love this place. The enchiladas verdes and huaraches are my favorites. The enchilada sauce is incredible. I like the chicken tinga. The rice and black beans are delicious. The servers are very sweet too. Highly recommend. read more

If you have a problem with this place, or the people who manage this neighborhood gem, please meet me at CIA and Cortelyou so I can push you into oncoming traffic. The food is DELICIOUS, and the people are simply the kind of humans you will root for. I simply love the more authentic selections, but I do love that they welcome the average gringo without judgement. Mexico Diner, I LOVE y'all! read more

They can really deck out the exterior dining a little bit. Lea and other shop has such a great decor and it's a missed opportunity. Great spot for drink and the quality is good. I got drunk after one mag and that usual but it's delicious. Free salsa and we order some guac to go with the drinks. We will be back comes spring and summer. read more

Mexico Diner was super affordable with big portions. The agua frescas as are also delicious. Solid Mexican spot

Consistently DELICIOUS food. Also, they actually follow online order instructions. In the past half decade I have repeatedly ordered: tacos, burritos, tortilla soup, cemitas, tortas, nachos, guacamole, beans and rice. Love this spot! I actually have never been there in person, but they are solid gold for delivery. Best carnitas! These days I eat mammals rarely - and when I do it needs to be something worthwhile. I order their pork tacos or burritos when I want a treat for myself. read more

After frequenting the Taqueria across the street a few times, we finally decided to give Mexico Diner a shot to compare and contrast... and BOY there sure is some stiff competition out here on Cortelyou Rd! First off, the al pastor tacos con todo ($4.45/each) here takes the crown. The meat is delicious and on the sweeter side, and my bf personally likes how the pineapple is more subtle here whereas Taqueria gives you larger chunks of the fruit. But maybe this is an unfair battle since Mexico Diner gives you a "con todo" option - in addition to the onions/cilantro, you also get lettuce, tomato, cheese & cream. Overall it's tastier. Similar in size and can fill you up after having just 2-3. We got takeout twice in a span of a week. One of the times we tried the guac & chips ($12) and pico de gallo & chips ($6.95) - both very good. Another time we tried the rice and beans (definitely better than Taqueria) and the cafe de olla aka homemade cinnamon Mexican coffee - we ordered this black and then added our own almond milk at home. I LOVED it. The not-so-greats include the Huevos Rancheros and the torta... just nothing too special about these two. The torta tasted like a very basic breakfast sandwich that I could make at home, and can be skipped. Both Mexican spots are really great and I don't want to play favorites (yet) but this one really surprised me. Guess I will continue eating through the menu at each spot a few more times to see which one reigns superior. read more

The one star is for the horchata, which is great. Otherwise I would give it zero stars. Why is it so hard for people to make vegetarian food vegetarian? I don't accidentally put salt in my coffee instead of sugar, and salt looks like sugar. What is going on in the kitchen that they could accidentally put chunks of meat in vegetarian orders? How is that a thing? I will probably come back here because my friends like it here, but I'm making a note here to remind myself to only order something like rice or plantains that's single ingredient, where I can see that there's no meat hidden inside. I'm so sick of this happening. Do better! Vegetarians beware - and if you have any food allergies this is probably not a good idea. Go somewhere else. read more

Food was delicious. Had a veggie burrito and a margarita. Perfect meal! Highly recommend. read more

- good service - tasty chimichanga - tasty tacos - they have a whole dining room area not pictured in a lot of the photos for the past three years, I thought it was only takeout - fish tacos got good reviews - pastor taco is alright read more

I've eaten her before. I'll eat here again. And again. And again. They're no longer on the apps and have gone indie with their website for delivery. There's also always the method of calling (y'all remember that?!) Tonight's pickup was chicken tinga enchiladas rojas and they didn't disappoint. Good flavors. Solid pricing. They have a bar so you can have drinks. They do lunch specials. Outdoor seating. I mean.... Support and enjoy! read more

My husband and I got food from there 2 this week it was amazing steak burrito 10/10 we loved it very much definitely ordering from here again read more

Not bad! Not bad at all. I'm pretty sure that I've ordered from Mexico diner before but I think that I got tacos the first time around. If you're familiar with my reviews, then you know that I already have a go to Taqueria, so that's really the reason why I don't order from here as much. I can't really say much about their tacos, but one thing I can say, is that if I didn't like them, I definitely would have remembered. So there's that. Last night I got a serious craving for Mojarra Frita and searched all of Uber eats to find a spot with good ratings and price point. I haven't had it since I was in California a few years ago and I've noticed that it's not a super popular dish here. A lot of Mexican restaurants don't even offer it. And then the ones that do either charge an arm and a leg or don't have reliable ratings. I thought $18.95 was decent. I was told that it came with a little salad, as well as rice and beans and tortillas on the side. At first glance, it looked good. I liked that they packed the rice and beans separately from the fish. I didn't like that it came in an aluminum container like the fish did. It was super easy to just pop the container of fish in the oven to reheat, but it was an annoying hassle transferring the rice and beans to a microwave safe dish being that they were packed together. I really liked the rice here, I typically don't like most Mexican rice. It's a texture thing for me, I can't really explain it. This rice however I loved, it paired well with the black beans. I'm pretty sure it was parboiled. I just wish they would have given more! If they were to give you two separate containers of rice and beans this would be a perfect portion for 2 people. The fish was seasoned really well, you could literally see the marinade they used on the inside. Also, it was cooked perfectly. Overall, I will be making sure to order more consistently. It's not an easy feat to have great reviews on both Yelp and Google as well as Ubereats. They're obviously doing something right. Can't wait to try out more of the menu! read more

Mexico Diner has great lunch specials! I tried out their takeout/delivery yesterday. I ordered a few tacos & the Enchiladas Verdes lunch platter special. The lunch special included 2 corn tortilla enchiladas stuffed with chicken and topped off with green tomatillo sauce, queso fresco, fresh lettuce and red onions, crema Mexicana plus rice and black beans on the side. The fresh juice was omitted from my order; the food was super fresh and delicious. The lunch special was more than enough for one person in terms of portion size. The spice level was mild, not overpowering -- hot sauce was included on the side. I'm a big fan of corn tortillas (versus flour tortillas) and I'd say their corn tortillas are good (the ones I had in Mexico were tastier) but theirs were fine. Overall, Mexico Diner an excellent restaurant for authentic style Mexican cuisine. The lunch special was delicious; the prices are reasonable for the neighborhood. read more

Really noce place, good service, ample portions at a fair price. An old friend lives nesr here and I had always wanted to try it but never had the opportunity until my family was in town. The chips were flour--not my fave, bit very good example of same. The salsa served with them was chunky, fresh, and layered with flavors--not something w have found anywhere in our home town of Portland. My only complaint with it was that they tagged it with some sugar--nothing you'd notice on the first several bites, but it creeps up and is a touch annoying for my palate. Probably not something that would bother or be noticed by many. We had an avocado salad, vegetable enchiladas, cheese enchiladas and fish tacos. The salad was fresh and, by design, the dressing came on the side. This was a nice touch, since many places overdress their greens. A bit of a surprise, and more traditional than you would get in America. By this, I mean that the cheese inside was not melted mozzarella, but chunks of Cotija. It was mild and pleasant, although the green sauce was a little spicy for the kids. The three fish tacos were generous, filled with quite a lot of tilapia, and came garnished with some radish and lime. They were not the best fish tacos, but they were fresh and pleasant. The kids each got an horchata, and both really liked it. My older one is a bit of an horchata connoisseur and he gave it top ratings. My kids give this place 3.5 stars, and on food alone, I somewhat agree with them. I've rounded up because the value proposition is so good, and the workers clearly care. I suspect that meat eaters might bump this even higher to 4.25. read more

Love little hole in the wall places! Girlfriend and I decided to come by last night. The place was empty inside but the kitchen was crazy! This place is clearly popular for take out since they were flying out throughout the night. We both saw this as a good sign. We started off with some guacamole and ordered the steak quesadillas as well as some fish tacos. Everything was delicious and fresh. Service was great too, very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Prices are very reasonable as well. Everything came out to a little over $40 without tip. Will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Got delivery and was disappointed by the taste of everything. Got a chicken quesadilla, chips and salsa, street corn and fries. Would not get any of them again. Chicken quesadilla lacked flavor and had huge chunks of chicken. The chips were fine but the salsa is not good very watery. I expected street corn to be in a bowl and not on the Cobb. I was not a fan of the sauce on the corn. Really wanted to like it, just very average food. read more

Pretty good Mexican spot. Place is decently sized with many 2 person tables that can be connected for larger parties. Steak quesadilla- comes in 3 taco sized pieces. It was pretty good.the tortilla was nice and crispy. The cheese was good. Steak was good. Altho somewhat on the salty side. Tasted even better with the flavorful green spicy sauce. Shrimp cancun- its a dish with rice, some whole shrimp on the side drenched in pink sauce. Comes with avocado slices and a side of beans and tortilla. I'm not really familiar with how to eat this. We opted not to use the tortillas. I tried one of the shrimp. The sauce was interesting enough. The shrimp itself tasted really fresh. Overall a decent dish. I believe my fiance ordered the platillo Mexicano. Basically a bunch of grilled meats and veggies in 1 plate. He enjoyed it. I tried parts of it. It was pretty good but kinda salty. The rice and beans were flavorful. The free salsa and chips are delicious. I would come back again to try their other food. read more

I had dinner here last night for the second time, wondering if the flawless meal I'd had the week before could be duplicated. It was even better. My friend and I began with tamales, which are not available at most Mex restaurants in my area. They were delicious. I then had one of the best chili rellenos I've ever eaten. The service is super friendly, and the prices are reasonable. This has quickly become my top choice of restaurant when I go out to eat. read more

I'm really excited about Mexico Diner because it reminds me of the bona fide Mexican restaurants in Sunset Park, where there is a large Mexican enclave with no shortage of delicious, cheap and true Mexican fare. I ordered the guacamole and chips which came with a complimentary side of red salsa. It had just enough kick to it: not too spicy and full of flavor. I also ordered a grilled steak and grilled chicken taco. The meat was juicy and perfectly grilled. The taco shells are two, soft corn tortillas. I wasn't able to finish my meal so I savored the steak and saved the chicken. I'll be enjoying that for dinner! Portion sizes are decent. Everything was so delicious and very fresh. I am so happy they're in the neighborhood and can't wait to come back with friends/order in. I highly recommend them! read more

So Yummy! Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a friend. Got seated right away and was served a large basket of complimentary salsa and chips. But to my surprise the waiter didn't bring us water or anything. Sat for another 10 mins and we placed our order. Still no water.. after munching on the chips and salsa I got super thirsty. So I ordered a grape soda and asked for water. FINALLY WATER to the rescue! Food we ordered: Chicken mole poblano, al pastor tacos, chicken tacos & grilled bulb onions! Chicken mole poblano: chicken was super soft. Fall off the bone kind of soft. Sauce was tasty but on the sweet side. Overall not too bad though. Comes with tortilla, rice and beans. Tacos: both al pastor and chicken were good. I drenched mine with their green sauce. Grilled bulb onions. I have a thing for bulb onions. I don't know why I love them so much. This place made it good but a little too much lime. It was a bit too sour. Overall very good except customer service could improved a bit. There was only one waiter so poor guy was so busy. read more

I had a great time here with my girlfriend washing down delicious food with a few Coronas and lime. First, we ordered some guacamole to go with the large basket of complimentary salsa and chips. Both were tasty and I especially enjoyed the sweet salsa that also had a bit of a kick. Then, we ordered steak quesadillas and fish tacos which were really good as well! The service here is also very friendly and accommodating. I can't wait to be back! read more

I had an amazing meal from @mexicodiner_ this afternoon! I found the restaurant on @grubhub which is also available on @seamless and @doordash Firstly the food was delicious. The shrimp and the sauce it comes in is fantastic. The shrimp tacos was delicious and they provide homemade salsa verde it comes with rice and black beans. The shrimp taco was really good I love the fresh cilantro and lime to garnish it. The fish taco was good but my one thing to say is it could use a better quality fish inside. I would pay more for the taco to have that tender , melt in your mouth type of fish inside. Of course Chilean sea bass would be most ideal but to keep it at a certain price point I would consider Basa/Swai fish or Pollock those are more fluffy and retain more moisture. Other than that I loved every bite. read more

Had the pleasure of enjoying Mexico Diner's steak burrito paired with some carnitas quesadillas. The quesadillas not only filled me up, they were delicious! Carnitas were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, a great combination with guac and verde sauce! The burrito did its thang with portion and presentation. Although not lacking in flavor, the steak was cooked tougher and diced finer than preferred. Paired with a colorful side salad, the burrito platter definitely worked in harmony for this selection. Always fun to pair with a margarita, your taste buds and belly will thank me later. Happy Eating! #BigWillYall read more

Hands down best Mexican in the area. We order frequently and have for years. Food is always great and so is the staff.

Delicious beef burrito and chicken flauta, at a reasonable price, and delivered faster than we have ever received a takeout order from anywhere. read more

Ordered some take out and was not disappointed. We got the bistec ranchero and the carne enchilada with a side of plaintains. The rice and beans were completely on point. My favorite part of the meal was watching my Argentinian boyfriend cry from eating the jalapeños. Just make sure you can take a little heat. Plaintains were a little dry. I'd pass on those next time but definitely will order again. So much food we have an entire meal for tomorrow Update: my bf and I are now obsessed with this place because of the burritos. They just consistently get better and better each time we order them. It is the only thing we order and we devour them. Love their green sauce! read more

If I were any good at writing poetry, I'd write an epic for this blessed restaurant. It's not fancy but the food here is a comfort like no other. Get anything on the menu, it'll scratch a different itch. Pozole and barbacoa on weekends, nachos on game nights, camarones al mojo de ajo when you're feeling bougie, they've got it all. And don't forget the agua de horchata to wash it down. read more

Ordered in grubhub and got 1lb of filling (shredded chicken), guacamole, and chips. The 1lb of filling I highly doubt was actually a pound. It came in a container that usually has like a small side soup in it. And same goes for the 8 oz guac that was in a container 1/3 the size of the chicken. The chicken filling was just ok. Nothing special. The guac was VERY onion-y and the chips were tri-colored. The blue chips tasted of food coloring. Generally it wasn't very good but decently priced. I wouldn't order from here again. read more

I've come here a couple of times already and have never been disappointed. My go to meal is the Platillo Mexicano. Comes with a plate of rice and beans and assorted meats with grilled cheese. They also give you tortillas and sauces to compliment your meal. Very affordable meal and very filling as well. Most times I have leftovers to take home to eat later on. Last time I was here I opted for the tacos with guacamole and that was delicious as well. The meat was juicy and not dry at all and portion size was good. Will come again. P.S. They also give you FREE chips and salsa while you wait for your meal which is an added bonus! read more
