About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Kid-friendly
  • Innovative
The cheerful dining room is a great setting for simple business lunches or a great evening dining experience. There is a full bar offering domestic, imported and Mexican beer, wine and our signature margarita, all to compliment the cafe’s authentic Mexican cuisine.

House specialties include Carne a la Brasa--skirt steak marinated in chipotle and lime, served with rice, beans and guacamole. Our Tacos al Pastor were acclaimed in the NY Times as well as a wide assortment of savory enchiladas, sizzling fajitas and other Mexican favorites. We also have a large selection of seafood dishes, including ceviche, oysters, and drunken clams.

Little Mexican Cafe is the perfect place for hosting special occasions. Accommodations for private parties up to fifty people are available.

The Little Mexican Cafe has been a New Rochelle destination for aficionados of gourmet Mexican cuisine since 1990.

    Everything was OK until dessert. I ordered the tres leches cake. (I'm a big fan of this dessert and have eaten it frequently in many different restaurants.) Here, it is simply horrible. It is bone dry - not a leche to be found and certainly not 3. I couldn't even eat the first bite. You, of course, would assume that when I alerted the restaurant to this on a large check they would have taken it off the bill. Not here. Just didn't seem to care.

    Big portions but food seemed clean and healthy. Service was great and friendly. Good table side guac. Drinks were good overall, margaritas a little sweet for me.

    Best Mexican food! Variety of dishes to choose from. Try the tamales, the guacamole, and the platters. Really good!

    Pretty average Mexican food, though above average for the area. We were late because it took us a while to figure out where to park, and they were kind enough to hold our table. Margarita was delicious.

    The food was great. We parked across the street on Main Street with metered parking. Our dinner was delicious. Very little ambiance but very fresh food.
