I was greeted by the young woman behind the counter, very friendly. I believe her name is Denielys. I was craving for Tostones and Chicharrón. They didn't have Chicharrón, but they offered instead to cook Tostones y Fried Pork Chunks. Perfect! Waited a few minutes and my meal was prepared. With a Maracuyá (Passion Fruit)juice, what a delicious combo. They have Daily Specials. I'll be back.

Mama Said Hand Pies | Ithaca, NY…read more One of my favorite local food spots in Upstate New York near Cornell University! Mama Said Hand Pies is a cozy local spot in Ithaca serving handmade savory and sweet pies made with locally sourced ingredients and baked fresh daily. Sausage Gravy, Egg & Cheddar Pie (Recommend ) Filled with chicken sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and white cheddar wrapped in an incredibly flaky, buttery pastry crust. The crust had a rich buttery flavor without feeling greasy, and the savory filling made every bite so comforting. Mushroom Pie (Recommend ) Packed with sautéed mushrooms and served with a green sauce on the side. Honestly, I didn't even need the sauce because the pie was already flavorful on its own. Pepper Jack Beef Pie Filled with ground beef, pepper jack cheese, and curry-like spices. This one wasn't my personal favorite, but my husband really enjoyed it!

Tried these at the farmer's market! Very yummy!…read more We tried the blueberry one with lemon icing and the spanakopita. The blueberry one was piping hot. Honestly these were both really good. the crust wasn't soggy and I liked trying both a sweet and a savory hand pie. I have also tried the mushroom oaxaca one which is my favorite! Overall, I would recommend!

We started with the chips and salsa, which were fresh and the perfect way to kick off the meal. The birria fries were easily a favorite--loaded with tender, flavorful birria, melted cheese, and all the right toppings. They were indulgent and definitely worth ordering. The shrimp tacos were fresh and flavorful, while the al pastor tacos were juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had that classic sweet and savory flavor that makes al pastor so good. We also ordered the elote, which was creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor with just the right amount of seasoning. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. Between the generous portions, authentic flavors, and great service, Neno's is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. If you're in Rochester and craving Mexican food, don't skip the birria fries and tacos--you won't be disappointed!

I got the oxtail with rice and beans and cabbage. Everything was excellent. I just wish I had asked to have more gravy added over my rice. The lady behind the counter was super nice, helped me decide what to get. It's pretty bare bones inside, just a couple tables, plastic utensils, etc. I'd be fine eating in again but I might get take out next time. Either way, go here and get some great Latino/Caribbean style food, expand your horizons. Oh before I forget. Add the pickled onion on top, it's a great counterbalance to all the rich flavors.
