I came here for dinner, and this was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to! Being…read morefrom California, I definitely missed the Mexican food scene, so I wanted to try Taqueria Tlaxcalli to taste a bite of home. When we entered, we were greeted with kind smiles from the ladies and they welcomed us to sit at any free table. Inside has lots of decor with ample seating. We sat and a server grabbed us menus. We got a carnitas burrito, grilled cactus side, horchata, and strawberry limeade (per her recommendation). Everything came so fast, and they even split the burrito for us! Oh my god, everything was so good. This has to be one of the BEST burritos I have ever had, comparable to the ones in San Diego. I love carnitas, and they do it so well here. It was tender, flavorful, just the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning! And the horchata was the best I have ever had too! The strawberry limeade was refreshing, and the grilled cactus was good! It was my first time trying it and it reminded me of aloe vera/okra texture. I had such a great time, such a great experience, I will definitely be back!

Taqueria Tlaxcalli was an elite level taco/burrito meal and well-worth the visit. The restaurant is…read morequite small with a number of 2-3 person tables and narrow, with Mexican music playing. They have options for dining in or taking out and were quite efficient We went with a burrito and a few tacos - the burrito is massive, I would say it's meant for two people at once and filled with rice, meat, vegetables, thick flour tortilla and covered with different sauces - it is very heavy! The tacos are Mexican-style with meat and vegetarian options and were simply delicious. The meats we got - carnitas, steak, chicken were all cooked great with tender juiciness. They gave ample lime and sauces to pair as needed. Prices felt reasonable. Overall taqueria tlaxcalli had exceptional Mexican food for NYC with very good hospitality and dining options and I highly recommend! The tacos were a tier above my favorite NYC tacos - Santos, Los tacos no 1 and carnitas Ramirez.

Cocina Chente in Riverdale gave my friends and me a great experience last Friday. Making a…read morereservation via Google was easy, and the staff responded promptly, showing politeness and cheerfulness, creating a good first impression. The restaurant had a fun, energetic vibe with many tables occupied, creating a lively ambiance perfect for the weekend. The guacamole and chips were superb--fresh, thick, and satisfying. I ordered beef nachos, and my friends had chicken quesadillas; all arrived hot and tasty. The rice on the side was well-seasoned. For drinks, I had the Rosa Colada--visually impressive with smoke for a dramatic effect--and my friends enjoyed Passion Fruit Mojitos. Both drinks were not overly sweet, a nice change. Overall, Cocina Chente offered a charming dining experience with great food, drinks, attentive staff, and a lively vibe. It's a must-visit in Riverdale. We're returning, especially for their guac and chips--our favorites!

Down a few precarious stairs and into a small, below street level taco joint, my husband and I had a great lunch. We're were able to nab one of the two tables for two (there are also a few cramped bar stools with a small bar for your plates) We both got the sopes and split a tamale. The mole tamale came out first - and it was a great amount of delicious, spicy mole chicken in really flavorful masa. Each bite it just got better! And the sopes were sturdy with a great amount of protein on it - we tried the shredded pork, the chorizo and the Al pastor. They were all great, flavorful option but the al pastor got highest marks from both of us. So glad to know this place is so close to home and looking forward to trying more....

I ordered the birria tacos and they were so good. The tortillas were soft with just the right amount of crisp, giving that perfect texture. The beef was incredibly well-marinated--so tender it practically felt like it would fall off the bone if there was one. And let's talk about the consommé... perfectly seasoned, rich, and garnished just right. It really brought everything together and elevated the whole experience. If you're debating whether to try them--do it. Just maybe order a little earlier if you're hungry

Place is small but has big character inside. Seems Iike any time of day is a really good time to order freshly prepared authentic Mexican food here. Buen provecho!!! Buon Appetito!!
