No you can post all over, I am focusing on that area but we go all over (my family is still in Suffolk) and I always like to know the best places. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

Oh, I totally forgot about Cozymel's in Westbury. I like it better than Don Juan.

I'm not sure about Chinese, but for Mexican we like 5 Burros on Austin Street in Forest Hills.

Chinese:

Evergreen isn't bad on Francis Lewis, next to McDonalds

Also, I think it is King Yum on Union Turnpike (name might be totally off, it is around 188th St.)

Mexican:

No local places that I know of. There is a great Green Cactus place in Roslyn and also Don Juan's

Re: Best Chinese and best Mexican

I lOVE La Panchita-we actually ate there last night! IMO the foos is better than south of the border.
It is on Hempstead Tpke across the street from the strip with Tri-county -it is sooo hard to pass by, it just past the librbary, but before centre. Hope that helps..
