Everything was made fresh and had great flavors . The serving size is perfect if you want to share or not it's not to much . The nachos have Mexican street corn on them my first time having nachos like this but it was delicious. Guacamole was fresh and very delicious. The location is definitely a hidden gem it's very clean and cozy BUT ITS VERY COLD I would have loved to stay and eat but it was just as cold inside as it was outside . The staff is very friendly and they literally will make anything any way you want. Price point is not expensive it's decently priced for the servings you get.

This place use to be my favorite. It has gotten worse every time! I didn't mind it being pricey and…read moreI had to go pick it up because we are in the borderline of where they're willing to deliver. But the attitude and the quality is just not what it use to be. From forgetting part of my order, charging me, and then just a shrug on the shoulder, saying they don't know what happened, denying they made any mistake. Nonetheless, today was the last time we're ordering from them. Thought it would be nice to order tacos first cinco de mayo. This is the crap I got. No topping no condiments no sauce cold dry cardboard like tortillas/meat. So much for happy tacos.

My BF and I decided to take a bike ride Staten Island one Sunday evening and started jonesing for…read moreMexican food. Spotted this place on Yelp and it was close so we thought, "What do we have to lose?" It's cavernous and we didn't know what to expect as we sat down. (I imagine the place fills up during karaoke happy hour on Fridays/Saturdays and for private parties.) The food and the service was quite good. They have a wide menu. We ordered a range of tacos (al pastor, chorizo, etc), rice and beans, and beer. We made a few substitutions which wasn't a problem. The waitress didn't speak a lot of English, but someone else who worked there did and we had a laugh about it.

Came here on acre recommendation because they said it authentic and cheap. Located in not the best…read morepart of town which is why we went during the day for lunch. This is what you call s hole in the wall. I had to take 1 star away since our nice waitress didn't speak a word of English and my high school Spanish didn't get me very far. So most the food on menu I had to guess. Which is why I ended up with a dish I thought would be nachos but what I know as a tostada. Our order included just a random sampling of dishes such as: -Tostadas de Pollo: crispy tortillas (should say tortilla singular) topped with beans, chicken, lettuce, sour cream... boring -2 Tamales: chicken/green sauce and the cheese, jalapeño. Great tamales and only $2 and huge -2 tacos: fried beef, onion, cilantro and Chorizo taco cilantro/onion. The beef was ok but the chorizo was crispy fatty deliciousness -the entree of Enchiladas Suizas: shredded chicken enchiladas topped w/green sauce, cheese and rice n beans side. Very tasty their green sauce is unique compared to over verdes I've had, beans n rice kind of an after thought and bland. The total was $28 and we were stuffed. The house sauces don't seem spicy at all but then it creeps up on you slowly. I walked out on fire. They have a high chair but it looked like the dirtiest thing ever so I wouldn't use it. I will defiantly come back whenever I'm craving real Mexican cheaply.

Best tacos ever! Probably the best I've tried on Staten Island. I was craving for some this morning…read moreafter breakfast and walked up the hill to Taqueria El Gallo Azteca. The experience was very pleasant, and service was quick (I paid and I had a few minutes to go across the street to the Mexican bakery to get two cream puffs for a $1 while they make my tacos) while they made my food. I stopped by at around 11am and the place was empty but there are plenty of seats available in the taqueria with lots of Mexican drinks options. The ambiance was quiet. I asked for two cacti tacos, also known as the Taco Azteca at this taqueria as recommended by the other Yelpers. I started with two because I heard that their tacos run big. These tacos were enormous and I was full eating after just one taco and saved the other one for an afternoon snack!! They also give you a generous cup of green sauce, which is one of my favorites! Because normally when getting a cactus taco in the other boroughs, they only give you a straight vegetarian taco only, but I was very surprised it came with a big chunk of meats. For $10-12 for two big giant tacos, I feel like I am getting fed very well. I'll definitely be back again to try their lamb/goat soup as recommended by the other Yelpers.

Pro-Tip: Skip the Delivery, Head to the Restaurant…read more I recently ordered the quesabirria con consomme via Uber Eats, and I have a major pro-tip for anyone living a bit further away: Do not get this delivered. While the food portion was generous and the flavors were very tasty, delivery really impacted the quality. My driver got lost and arrived 15 minutes late, which meant the tortillas lost all their crunch and arrived soft and mushy. If you want that perfect, crispy texture this dish is known for, it's best enjoyed fresh at the restaurant. A few other notes on the meal: The Consomme: I was quite disappointed with the consistency. It was very watery, lacked the rich red color I've seen elsewhere, and didn't have any meat inside. Spice Level: I specifically requested "not spicy" because I don't like any heat, but the consomme was still quite spicy and essentially inedible for me. The Portion: On the positive side, the food portions are substantial and more than I expected. I'm a big supporter of small businesses and have seen many great reviews about their authentic food and fast service in person. Because the flavors were good, I'm willing to give them another try--but only as a sit-down meal next time to get the full, fresh experience that I hope they offer.
