Top Long Island Spots for Cinco de Mayo Tacos and Margaritas | Howard Hanna Coach Realtors

Whether it's by enjoying authentic cuisine or indulging in some delicious margaritas, Cinco de Mayo has become a popular day to have fun with friends and family. If you're looking for the best place to grab tacos and margaritas this year, our REALTORS® highly recommend checking out one of these top Long Island eateries.

  • Mesita - 212 Merrick Road, Rockville Centre, NY 11570
    For some of the freshest, most flavorful Mexican cuisine on Long Island, visit Mesita. Begin your meal with fresh guacamole prepared tableside and a fresh margarita made from your choice of over 200 tequilas and nine different flavors. For dinner, indulge in some mouthwatering tacos, fajitas, or quesadillas. You'll want to check out happy hour for half-off select cocktails and special prices on appetizers. If you'd like to make Mesita more than just a Cinco de Mayo stop, we can recommend some beautiful Rockville Centre homes for sale nearby.

  • Maria's - 211 Smithtown Blvd., Smithtown, NY 11787
    Voted the Best Latin American Restaurant on Long Island eight years in a row, Maria's is the place to go for an unforgettable experience. From the beautiful decor to the delicious Mexican and Cuban-inspired entrees, you'll love every bit of the experience. Don't forget to try the signature "Golden Maria", which is often described as a sunburst in a glass. This amazing restaurant is just a short drive from our top Smithtown homes for sale.

  • Tulum Tacos & Tequila - 230 Jericho Turnpike, Mineola, NY 11501
    What is best described as a "bohemian-chic Tulum experience," Tulum Tacos & Tequila has a menu loaded with authentic Mexican cuisine and some of the best tequila-based cocktails around. With over 15 varieties of tacos, it's sure to be a popular spot on Cinco de Mayo. You will also want to come back for Taco Tuesday, which features $5 tacos, $5 shots, and $5 draft beer.

  • Mala Madre Taqueria - 1610 Old Country Road, Westbury, NY 11590
    With nearly a dozen tacos, mouthwatering burritos, and some unforgettable enchiladas, Mala Madre Taqueria is easily a top spot for great Mexican cuisine on Long Island. The chorizo and al pastor tacos are big hits with locals, and we highly recommend grabbing a "take-home" portion of homemade salsa, too. Happy hour runs until 6 p.m. on weeknights, so take advantage of great margarita specials.

  • Verde Kitchen & Cocktails - 70 E. Main St., Bay Shore, NY 11706
