Updated June 2026.
It's officially June, which means it's unofficially margarita season.
It’s no surprise that Mexican restaurants are incredibly welcoming to families. The chips arrive immediately, the staff loves your baby, and nobody bats an eye when things get messy. That’s because Mexican dining culture is fundamentally family-oriented: kids aren’t an afterthought, they are expected (and celebrated!) at the table.
So yes, we probably could have included most Mexican restaurants in NYC on this list, but instead we went through our data and pulled the ones that are truly stacked on amenities: changing tables, high chairs, kids options, and stroller storage.
That margarita's not going to drink itself.
Manhattan
Santa Fe
73 W 71st St, Upper West Side
High chairs · Kids options · Stroller storage · Outdoor Seating · Reservations
Coloring pages for kids, a solid kids menu (quesadilla or taco served with beans and rice, or a slider with fries), and what New York Magazine called the best frozen margarita in New York. High praise.

A spacious spot with a large back patio — strollers go on the patio, so no squeezing through tight spaces. Karaoke twice a month and live music at the end of the month. Kids love the chicken empanadas.

Submitted to Let's Go Baby by multiple parents in recent weeks, and the reviews speak for themselves.

One mom who submitted it said: "They offered to make my baby eggs and avocado — very accommodating and very sweet spot."
