Eduardo, You and Your Restaurant Are 5 Stars All Around! Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else for Mexican food. This place is a true local gem, family-owned and operated with so much love and pride. Eduardo is always up front, warmly greeting customers, while his wife and her amazing team work magic in the kitchen. They're serving some of the best food we've ever had, and it keeps us coming back. We love this place! Note; this is not a sit down restaurant. They have a couple of tables inside and outside dining weather permitted. read more

Wonderful little place with excellent food. Love the nachos with chicken and guacamole.

Frijolitos is unmissable. Everything on the menu is made from scratch, extremely flavorful and fresh. My partner and I no longer live in the city, but when we did we would order from Frijolitos weekly. When we visited the city recently and visited all our old haunts, we knew we HAD to go to Frijolitos! Our favorites are the crispy carnitas tacos (crispy chorizo is amazing too), all the tortas, and their homemade verde salsa. Don't skip the verde and ask if they'll sell you some extra to last you the week! We love you Frijolitos! read more

Absolutely incredible. It's a very small store front and the quality of their food is always amazing. Everything is fresh and delicious, and the care they have for the customer's experience is top tier. You can tell they love what they do. Support restaurants like Frijolito's!! read more

Food was great! A small shop with a friendly owner and great for some takeout. Would have if in the area again

The quality of the meat has declined. The flavor is not there anymore, it used to be our Mexican spot before. We ordered a few times and it was a hot or miss. It has not been consistent with flavor. The amount of meat has gone lesser and lesser. Ofcourse with the inflation it's totally understandable. read more

I just love the food oh so very much. Birra tacos are killer good. Burritos will not leave you feeling hungry for 6hours. I prefer take out, you can call the order in ahead of time and it is still very fresh, no soggy veggies. read more

If I were to nitpick it'll be that my burrito could've had less rice and more chicken and if they had a Baja taco instead of tilapia. But I wouldn't be any more harsh on this amazing meal I had . The chicken burrito itself is one of the largest I've had and will pack a major punch so try to go on an empty stomach . The flavor though is so good with the seasonings and textures all complimenting each other . I did also ask for medium salsa so that added some as well . Will also add guacamole the next time . Most importantly the food sits really good on the stomach . Price wise this place offers an exceptional value and it might be my new go to for an occasional burrito. read more

Just ok I would rather go to spanish harlem 3 tacos for $12 is unbeatable Outdoor seatings available read more

Love their burritos, ready quickly and always hot. Sodas are delicious, and prices can't be beat. They are willing to customize your burrito- I like less rice and more cheese, and my roommate prefers no sour cream. Their guac is delicious if you want to splurge a bit! When the weather is nice, you can sit outside at their outdoor tables. (No heat, but the burrito keeps you warm in cold weather!) My new go-to burrito spot. read more

Better than Chipotle!! I've been stuck on the bowls for like 6 months..(I'll try something else on my next trip). but every bowl is delicious and each ingredient has its own taste and not just Sazon. If you love good, delicious, wallet friendly food, try this local restaurant. read more

I had been in search for good and fairly priced mexican food in this part of town. As a Mexican and previously living in Texas, I was sad about the lack of mexican food in New York City. I stumbled upon this place on accident and I don't regret it one bit!!! I got 3 carnitas tacos for $10. They were delicious and the people working there are so nice. They have a cute seating area outdoors. 10/10 recommend. read more

There are very few places that make me wish there was a zero-star option on Yelp. This place is one of those places. There are places with bad food prep, meager meat portions, and low-quality ingredients. This place seems to cover all those bases. I ordered a plate that is named "Pollo Asado." In Spanish, that means "grilled chicken." So naturally, I expected to get that when my food was delivered. Instead, I got something completely different. There was little-to-no actual chicken in my pollo asado plate. What little there was, looked like the skin or ligament of the chicken. The rest of the food looked like rubbish. This was so bad, that I called UberEats and told them how this place misrepresented its food. They offered me a refund, and from there, I ordered from a place that serves actual quality food. I will never order from here again. I hope for their sake that they improve their food, and stop misrepresenting what they offer. read more

The food at Frijolito's is typically very good and reasonably priced, but our side of beans had a large piece of aluminum foil sitting right on top. We couldn't eat them, and this could have really hurt us had we not seen it. Very disappointing, and seems to be a concerning trend in some reviews here of foreign objects in the food. read more

The person who said the quality of meat has gone down was NOT kidding! We ordered chicken nachos, steak bowl and a chicken quesadilla and ALL THE MEAT TASTED OLD AND REHEATED!!!! My partner is a chef who confirmed what I stated above! When I contacted the establishment to find out exactly how old the meats were they completely denied it was old reheated meat. I was left with no choice but to contact Uber eats as I did not want my 2 year old or us to consume this old meat. Uber eats was accommodating and gave us credit so we could order from somewhere else! AVOIDDDDDDDDD read more

Really nice Mexican food If you're up this high. The mixiote torta was great. The chicken was spiced really nicely. The guac was good too. The burrita really really pleasant and only $3. The fish al pastor Taco was also good. Had a decent flavor and was filled nicely. Double tortillas as is tradition too. read more

I've always had great experiences ordering takeout from this spot! They are one of the best Mexican restaurants in this neighborhood. Amazing prices, quality ingredients, and food, and their service is tremendous! I always order via GrubHub. I last ordered from them last night for dinner. I got a carnitas bowl with guacamole and salsa verde, along with a bag of chips. The chips were crisp and not too salty. The salsa verde had the perfect amount of heat and the bowl was perfectly seasoned and plenty of carnitas! For the price you pay you definitely get your money's worth and more. If you're in Hamilton Heights/West Harlem and are in the mood for Mexican takeout, don't hesitate to place your order at Frijolito's! read more

I came here for pickup and I must say it was really good and I enjoyed the food. We got the pozole and it has shredded pork and the flavor was good. The place was very busy so I do recommend you order ahead of time. I would definitely want to try their other items. I enjoyed the food and will definitely be back to order more food. They give fresh tortilla chips with the food and a cream. These additional items were really good and they were complimentary. read more

Frijolito's- FriWhole Lot of Disappointment First off I would like to say this- the menu of offerings from Frijolito's looks amazing. They have range and diversity, not to mention plenty of options to customize your meal to your liking. That's where the fun times end. When the food arrived, it looked like someone had eaten out of it because the portions were so small! A $9 bowl had the equivalent of what I'd expect a $5 bowl to look like. When it arrived, it was in the shape of a brick, and pretty much everything stuck together. A $13 quesadilla came with three cut triangles of quesadilla, which when put together don't even make an entire circle. The guacamole was heavy and could've been made lighter with something slightly acidic. The food was meh, and I'd be more than willing to give Frijolito's another chance, but they should look at their portion sizes vs. price, as well as the quality. If you're going to argue a case of quality vs. quantity, at least make sure the quality is on par. As my friend put it: the quesadilla was okay, but so is Chipotle. read more

Ugh. This place is so, so, so, so great. I spent majority of my life in Southern California and when I tell you that the search for great Mexican food in Manhattan has been a grueling one, I am not joking. Yes, there's lots of good places. But sometimes I miss the nights outside taco trucks in LA and really just want that taco that hits the spot in a soul-fulfilling way. This has been it. And it delivers to Washington Heights, which has sustained me and my bf in the 2 years we've lived there. The Carnitas tacos and vegetarian burritos are our mainstays. The pico de gallo and guacamole are incredible. The quesadillas!! Ugh. I will keep coming here, even if we move downtown. read more

Delish!! I got the carnitas tacos - I usually dont buy tacos because they don't fill me up, but boy was I wrong! Flavorsome fillings (the cilantro particularly excited my tastebuds...) and well textured meat (not too dry, which is my biggest fear in life). Very friendly service too; she served me with a smile that stretched across her face like a lean, long hammock. read more

Frijolito's - Borrito with a rock on the napkin - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Was craving a burrito in Harlem, and let me tell you...this is about as good as it gets. My friend and I got burritos to go, and the preparation only took a few minutes. The guy behind the counter was friendly and smiled a lot, which made our wait a lot more pleasant. When he handed us our burritos...oh man they were HEAVY. It was honestly one of the best burritos I've ever had and for just $10, it's wallet-friendly too. The burrito was so big it ended up being a meal and a snack for me. Frijolito's, I'll be back. read more

Frijolito's - Big, fat Pollo Asado Burrito! So worth!! - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Located off Broadway in Harlem! Authentic Mexican food, fresh, always above par from my experience.

The salsa verde is the best sauce I've had. It has the right amount of kick! This place was highly recommended, I wasn't extremely hungry but decided to check it out! It's a clean, cute, festive place! The guy at the register was extremely friendly, and more than accommodating. Being a little indecisive, several requests he never once appeared agitated! I decided to try the crunchy tacos.....shut the front door!!!! They were extremely delicious! The shredded chicken bursted with flavors! They spent time seasoning and marinating the meat! I was pleased!! An order is served with 3, which was plenty for me, if you like spicy request the salsa verde!!! Nom nommm NOM! I'll definitely be back! read more

Small hole in the wall spot full of goodness! Extremely fresh ingredients, fresh flavor, home made style food! Excellent! Family ran and the food is made with LOVE! THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING DINNER! PS: Don't bank on having a party of 10 here. This is a take it home spot, or sit on the stool. Not a place for an entourage. Although it can fit about 15 people. read more

The food is very good and tasteful But the biggest turn off is the front desk man. He's rude and seems to have his type of preference with some customers. I hesitate to go just for him. But the food is on point! read more

just nowNEW I don't order at this restaurant all the time but when I went the last time to order there was a kid at the counter so I started looking at the menu and after a minute later, the kid was telling me to "hurry up". When he told me that I responded "just a moment please". Then when I ordered I opened the refrigerator where the drinks were and wanted to grab a drink to take with me with the food that I order and since it took me just a few seconds to grab a drink that was on the back, the kid told me again to" hurry up ". There was no one behind me waiting on line and the kid didn't have the right to be rushing me. The owner's kid behavior was completely unacceptable because if customers go to a restaurant to buy anything, no one that's employed in any restaurant, is supposed to be rushing customers and when there was no one behind waiting on time. I ended up leaving the restaurant feeling happy that I didn't buy anything due to the kid's inappropriate behavior. I wasn't going give them any money from mine knowing that an employee is going showing sarcasm to a customer while they haven't even paid yet. Andeeven if the employer asks my money, I will be claiming for it back. I am writing this review so that customers can read about my experience and about the owner's kid behavior. No where that I go to buy food, I have experienced this problem. I hope that many people can read this review and realized that something is negative about this restaurant. Being a person that lives nearby and have ordered sometimes, definitely I won't be going to order any food from this restaurant ever again. There are other amazing restaurants nearby especially Picante that's another Mexican restaurant just a block away. read more

We ordered from Ubereats last night. Food was came a bit late than expect but not their fault. We got Bistec with Pico de Gallo sauce and Mixiote with Verde sauce. My Boyfriend who doesn't not like his food too spicy said Bistec was good and he finished it all. My Mixiote was good too. I felt like Verde sauce was not spicy at first but it kicked me later. Overall.... Quality, Price and Potion are good. read more

If u are around is worth it. read more

Great great food but Eduardo is one of the rudest business owners you'd ever meet. It has been over the few years I've whole heatedly supported this restaurant and sent over so many customers to this establishment. I don't expect any special treatment but when I bring in new customers who I've said only good things about the restaurant and Eduardo treats them like shit. I know the food is good but you cant be such a dick over and over again. I'm going to miss the food but I'm fucking done with the rude nature. read more

Best tacos in NYC! I order from Frijolito's pretty much every week on Uber Eats and they are so consistent, definitely the most reliable NYC restaurant relationship I have. They even called me once when my delivery person was taking too long to pick up my food to let me know what was going on, I really appreciated the excellent service! If you're uptown and looking for a place to get tacos, go to Frijolito's, it's amazing and you won't regret it!! read more

My coworker and I stopped for lunch.After ordering the young man at the register refused to take my debit card.He said it's cash only.My coworker stepped out to get cash,and we paid.The food was so good we told our other coworker to try it.We also warned her that it was a cash only business.To our shock they accepted her debit card.She looks hispanic,but she's not.If he would've taken the time to look at my card.It clearly says Massiel! careful how you treat your own ppl!
