Local Mexican restaurants are a staple in any community. Here's where you can find stellar Mexican Cuisine on Long Island.

Fresh, warm salty tortilla chips are the cornerstone of any Mexican meal and since National Tortilla Chip Day was this month, it's the perfect chance to celebrate by heading out to your favorite Long Island Mexican restaurant.

Whether you enjoy your chips with salsa, queso, or fresh guacamole, crispy tortilla chips make for the perfect appetizer.

Enjoy your chips with a margarita or mojito from the bar.
