BEST authentic Mexican food in Lower Manhattan! amazing everything but the fish tacos, fajitas and breakfast burritos is literally everything! 100/10 read more

Base my reviews off what you pay: *Place was empty in the afternoon on a Saturday. Price - ~$25 (entree, drink, tip) Food - 4/5 - tasty and good portion. Service - 5+/5 - awesome service throughout. Ambiance - 2/5 - hole in the wall vibe. Overall - 5/5 - top tier hidden gem. Food was great portions and tasty as hell. You will spend $20 and not leave disappointed. Service was beyond the best. Forgot what his name was but gave awesome recommendations, was quick, awesome guy, really made the experience. Inside is a bit dumpy, total hole in the wall vibe but what you would expect. Absolutely stop here if you can, gives a family owned vibe that is worth it (hopefully it is lol). Best Dish - Chicken Flautas, Carne Asada Nachos Would Return - Absolutely read more

The friendliest service ever.The worker was so happy to chat with us and is just the essence of joy. Already off to a good start. The Birria and Al pastor tacos were amazing. We could've drunk the Guac salsa sauce. Oh my. The Al pastor was my fav. Incredibly juicy. Must come back here. read more

This place is awesome. The quality and portion size for the prices are around 4.25-4.5 stars (very good) but the service is unquestionably 5 stars. Michael did a fantastic job helping me figure out what to get for my first time there. I'll be coming back. read more

Hands down one of the better (maybe best) place for fish tacos and quesadillas. I've only ordered via DoorDash but the food is consistently good. The ingredients are fresh and the fillings are generous. Definitely give this place a try. It has become my go to for Mexican food! read more

This place is easy to miss because it's on a mostly residential street and it's very small. Very tasty tacos and tostadas, and good portion size for the price. I also like their breakfast burritos. Great wings and nachos too. They also give complementary chips and salsa (I love that!). Very good friendly service. read more

Was walking down the street with some friends and a local literally walked us back and raved about the place. Post brunch drinks we had a couple of tacos just to confirm and he was right. They were delicious. They brought out chips and salsas which tasted fresh and delicious. Ordered the birria, al pastor and chicken tacos. All were good but the birria was TENDER!!!!!! Friendly service. Clearly a hit with the locals. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute spot with the classic loteria decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would absolutely recommend and return. read more

El Diablito is one of my go-to spots in the city, especially for breakfast. Their breakfast burritos are hands down my favorite. They're packed with fresh ingredients, full of flavor, and the perfect way to start the day. I find myself craving them all the time. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently quick. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that keeps you coming back because you know you're going to get a great meal every time. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and try the breakfast burrito. You won't be disappointed. read more

Nobody go to this restaurant the cook and the worker said he was a manager we ordered tacos and the steak was no good. He said we can't exchange it. He was being very rude to me and my wife and he told us to get the fuck out of here you cannot change the food. He said we already tasted it so we have to eat it and the steak was no good and he told us to get out of his fucking store. The food is terrible. The service is terrible. I am calling 311 and the border health because it's against New York State law if the food is no good you're allowed to exchange it for something else. We didn't want her money back. We just wanted to exchange it for different food. I recommend nobody go to this place. They're very bad people. read more

this place is bomb. Food is always great. the guy at the counter is such a light, always so sweet

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had an awesome casual dinner with a friend here last night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We chose to get an order of chips and dip, along with splitting 2 burritos. The chips came with two different salsas. Both salsas were good, but we preferred the flavor and spice of the orange! The burritos were solid (especially for the price), and would say I liked the steak a little more. Since I am not a fan of beans, we asked for beans on the side- and they delivered on that! One other thing to call out. Service was honestly incredible. They were super attentive with our water, frequently came over to ask of we needed anything else, and overall sooooo friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

Shrimp nachos are my addiction and El Diablito does them well. So saucy! So good! They marinate the shrimp and it adds so much flavor to the nachos. I love their salsa too, it has a nice kick. If I you love fondue yellow cheese then you must try. I can only speak about the nachos because that's all I get there. But my friend recently ordered a burrito. It was huge! He liked the flavor but the ingredients weren't evenly arranged inside. Each bite was different and honestly that ruins the burrito experience. They gotta master the craft of wrapping it so each bite is even saucy and good. There's room to improve! read more

Wow. Came in on a Saturday night and it was empty. I don't know why because the food is AMAZING. Literally no complaints. The green Mild salsa is to die for. Salsas are made in house. We got the nachos with Spicy Chorizo - it's not that spicy, just super flavorful. The cheese was melty and the ratio of toppings to chips was perfect. We actually had extra toppings by the end. Enchiladas were delicious - smothered in sauce and flavor. Highly recommend al pastor for that sweet pineapple that they include with the meat. Rice was yummy too. Staff is very friendly. The ambience is super casual, with just a few tables for dining in. Seems popular for takeout/delivery though. We will be back. Some of the best Mexican food we've had in the city. read more

These people are so nice and considerate and the food is delicious. It's a breath of fresh air to come here and be served by such lovely people. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting good authentic Mexican food. 10/10 read more

We walked into this little place on East 3rd Street and were met with with kindest and most engaging human who welcomed us and walked us through the menu. They offer margaritas where you choose your flavor and then choose your tequila, no extra charge so you can get a Cuervo marg or a Casa Miga marg...no price difference. What? I got a passion fruit marg and it was great. Food was really good (brunch burrito and nachos) and the tacos looked amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For anyone who says people in New York City are not friendly, check out El Diablito Taqueria.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Worth the trip! read more

Literally a menu with prices blacked out with a sharpie. I tried to eat there but I'm not playing the price game with the cashier. An easy fix would be to go to a copy place... read more

I love this place. The fried fish burrito is aces and I don't know what magical thing they put in the green salsa but holy moly. Everyone in my family has a different fave -- spicy pork, al pastor, chicken burrito -- and everything is great. Plus the owners/staff are SO NICE. Once a street person came in and started panhandling at all the tables and the woman working the counter quietly told him, "I'm happy to make you something but you can't bother my customers." And he stopped, and waited patiently for his food (they're really fast there!) and took it to go. She just handled the situation so gracefully and so kindly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They feel very old-school East Village that way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food, fast, never impossibly busy ... El Diablito is the best! read more

Chicken tacos! As you can see I've started eating because a girl was hungry. They are BOMB! Especially if you put the green sauce, I even like the orange although it's spicy. It is worth the price! read more

El Diablito Taqueria - Chicken tacos but I had already started eating. It is BOMB! Service is immuculate! - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Had a fantastic experience dining in! Service was wonderful and incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in, and they provided complimentary chips as well. There is limited seating, but not many people were dining in at the time so it was not an issue. Food was delicious, at an amazing price point as well. My fish on the nachos were crispy and the toppings were flavorful as well. The chips themselves were nice and crunchy. Churros were a fantastic way to end the meal, the perfect sweet treat, will definitely be back! read more

Absolute mandatory stop if you in the lower east side, special shoutout to Michael and Madi !

This is my first ever yelp review - this place is so good that it forced me to break my no review streak! I've tried a handful of dishes through the years (enchiladas, tostadas, breakfast burritos, etc) and everything has always been well worth the price. Portions are always HUGE with fresh, never bland, ingredients. What got me to write this review is their carnitas - never soggy, perfectly tender, with heavenly pieces of crispy ends that had me ready to call the restaurant just to tell them I was nearly in tears over how good it was!!! This might be my favorite burrito ever, and definitely my favorite in nyc. Not to mention how kind and attentive the staff is every time I stop by. The guy at the counter always welcomes everyone with a huge smile. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While I've always done takeout, they have a few tables to sit and enjoy a great meal in house.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is a gem that I'll be dreaming about long after I've moved away! read more

A high 3.5! The service is 5/5. The staff is so helpful, attentive and kind. There are 3-4 tables inside and it was pretty quiet as far as dine in. Their takeout was super busy though. The food was OK. I wish the quesadilla had more to it besides the fish & cheese. The churros were basically just the fried dough. I wish there was more sugar/cinnamon. The birria burrito was ok as well. Glad we gave it a try though, super nice staff. read more

For COVID, they're takeout and delivery only. 6 feet social distance. There is a large sneeze guard at the door, you wait outside and they hand you your food. I love this place so much! I really think it's the best place to get tacos. Definitely recommend getting their fried fish tacos, shrimp tacos, steak quesadillas, and their tortas. Everything you get here is SO delicious. The man who took my order is very nice and efficient as well. I really hope this place never closes down. read more

El Diablito Taqueria has quickly become our go-to Mexican in lower Manhattan. The food is absolutely delicious and generously apportioned. I am a huge fan of their fish and carnitas burritos, as well as their birria and al pastor tortas. My all-time favorite still remains the fish burrito, since the fish is wonderfully soft, flaky, and tender. One can hardly finish a whole burrito or torta, leaving yummy leftovers for another meal. During these cold winter months, they have really hit the spot in my craving for comfort food. They also do brisk, reliable delivery. read more

One of my favorite places to get takeout from. Great tacos, guac, quesadillas, and the salsas are fantastic! Also, the breakfast burritos are 10/10 and so well priced, I love the chorizo with avocado. They're always quick and the guy at the front is always kind!

this place is ITTT. it's service and food was 10/10. s/o michael & madi for the great customer service

El Diablito Taqueria - Shrimp and fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Big fan of El Diablito! NYC doesn't have many great options for Mexican but I'm glad to have found this gem in East Village. I've come here a few times and definitely recommend the burritos and nachos. Both the steak and shrimp burrito are really good. Don't forget to douse it in the green and red salsas. The most recent time I got the spicy pork nachos and they were so good. Each chip was covered with toppings and not a single chip was dry. Haven't tried the tacos but I'm sure they're good too! Great service too! read more

We ordered take out of El Diablito Taqueria for the first time after trying to find a new taco joint to order from. We were actually really surprised with how much we like them. We ordered tacos and nachos. You can tell the tortillas are fresh made. And they were definitely not skimpy with the toppings. read more

This place rocks! I came here after seeing the other positive yelp reviews, and they are so right! The food is delicious and the service is even better. I've been back twice and each time it is the same incredibly friendly guy who gives wonderful service. I highly recommend the carnitas tostada! read more

What a stellar little spot that serves both delicious Mexican AND incredibly low prices. Kind people work there, too! The must gets are the small guacamole (which is a large at most overpriced places) and their homemade chips, the seared shrimp taco and the crispy carnitas. There's a table outside for dining on a nice day/with a dog. 5 Stars!!!!!! read more

Ordered from here because I was craving a quesadilla, and wound up also ordering rice and beans as well. The quesadilla was good (not particularly great, just mediocre). There was a good amount of cheese and pulled pork, and the pulled pork had a pretty decent flavor. It arrived still warm. The rice and beans were very bland, and it seems that there is no seasoning applied to them. I had to wind up getting out the Adobo to season them properly. All in all, I probably wouldn't order from here again... the food wasn't terrible, but there's a lot of Mexican food that is much better elsewhere and for a similar price point. read more
