I've been a long time customer for maybe about 5 years now and I ordered a chicken cheeseqilla $14,…read moreand nachos de bistec $15 which adds up to 29 with taxes the order is 30.40 which he verbalized to me on the phone for pick up. I get there and I pick up the food for 30.40 and then I add 2 Jarritos $2.75 each for a total of $5.50. That brings the total order value to $35.90. I hand the man a $50 bill and he only gives me back $10 dollars. He pretty much tried to scam me for $6 dollars cash no debit or Apple Pay. I then tell him "Sir, you told me 30.40 for the food and then 3 dollars each soda is 6 so a total of 36.40. Why did you only give me a 10 back" he said that was the correct change and then proceeded to print out a receipt that doesn't even match what I ordered. He created a new order with added items to increase the price. Long story short, they try to scam you of your money in there whe you pay with Apple Pay or cash. Make sure you add everything up and check it. This is now the 3 time these people have tried to play with the amount of money I get back or charged. If you eat here, watch your money and your change!

We ordered the Coctel de Camarón, Carne Arrachera, Horchata, and the Queso Fundido with Chorizo & Steak, and every single dish was packed with flavor. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The queso fundido was a standout, and the carne arrachera was cooked perfectly. Even the horchata was refreshing and tasted homemade. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. Between the incredible food and outstanding service, we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic, flavorful Mexican food!

Is this place under new management/employees?…read more Placing an order over the phone has become so difficult and frustrating. First off they don't take credit card over the phone only cash. Additionally the person answers the phone has you repeat yourself multiple times. It really should not so complicated I called the restaurant at 7pm to check the status of my order tonight and they said it was an additional 45 minutes after placing the order at 6:30pm. I was getting ready to drive to the restaurant and two minutes later the delivery guy rang my bell. Last week on a Saturday night we called 3x times after getting hung up on twice to place an order for fajitas. After waiting an hour, the delivery guy called to say he was outside however poor guy was given the wrong address. We ended up cancelling our order due to the lack of professionalism and poor service. At that point I didn't even want the fajitas. The food is great however the service for delivery is not good at all.

Usually when people ask me what my favorite type of food is, I tell them I hate to have favorites…read moreand love variety. Judging purely by where I eat though, it most certainly would lean towards Mexico. This is partly to do with the cuisine's ubiquitousness here in New York, because if Thai food was good in the back of every little Thai grocery (which don't really exist on the East coast in numbers anyways), I am sure I would eat a lot more of it. And so on. When I am in Inwood, 10 times out of 12 I will be headed for the El Dugout Patacon Pisao truck that serves delicious Venezuelan street fare. This time however I was walking down 10th Avenue in Inwood with a semi-empty stomach in search of a new place. El Nuevo Azteca stepped up and filled the void. The tostada ($2.50) was the only food I ordered as I wanted to preserve my stomach for as many stops as possible, but a sign beckoned from the refrigerator case with another offer that was too good to refuse: $1.50 Coronas. This turns out to be the takeout price, as they are $3 on the bill and poured into a styrofoam cup. You can tell a lot from a place's tostada, the beans they use, the quality of queso, the crema. Positive on all accounts here at Azteca, although not mind-blowing. It must be said though, that this is just a nice place to relax, have a very cheap meal, and enjoy yourselves. They have a full Mexican and American breakfast menu, as well as all the normal antojitos any place should have. Full entrees are available as well, and the cute surroundings peak on the wall where the window to the kitchen and the large television showing novelas compete for attention.

I was scrounging around Uptown hoping to find quality late night eats. Yelp told me the place…read moreacross the street was open, so I made that my destination. Upon arrival, it was not what I thought from reviews and pictures. Las Palmas was also listed as being open late, so I crossed the street to check it out. This was more in line with what I was thinking. Unfortunately, the posted hours are incorrect. Instead of having an hour to sit and be served, I had ten minutes to order take out. The interior was cute and I can imagine people here for a date or eating with the family. I decided to go with tacos. An order of fish and one birria. There are three tacos to an order for $16. I think that may be slightly costlier than nearby establishments, but not by much. I worried about the state my tacos because I had a ways to travel. But my concern was for naught. The bag and food were so considerately packed, nothing spilled. Including the consommé in a cup for the birria. Having the first fish taco, made me instantly decide I want to try this hot and fresh! It has a heaping serving of pico and a slice of avocado on top. My one complaint is that I needed more fish. Not sure if that's an accurate grumble or just me being late night hungry/greedy. I warmed the consommé a little before dipping the tacos. The onion and cilantro taste was perfect. The meat was well seasoned and melty good. Not fatty or tough like other birria I've had. I would absolutely return to this spot and try more of the menu

As a result, we either went to Cocina Chente or ordered from Picante Picante. The former changed owners; the former owners opened Tobala. A few months ago, my husband tried Metate and said the burrito had gotten way better. Yesterday, I decided to pick up some apps as we had main course at home. I bought the corn and Tostones; they were amazing! Very, very delicious! I'm willing to try them again, and go for a main course. Since I didn't have a main course or drinks, I don't think the review warrants 5 stars. In terms of service, it was great; I walked up to the bar and my order was taken right away. I was standing only bc I sit a lot for work; therefore, I deferred the offer to sit down. Some reviews mentioned new owners; in our experience, it seems to be in the right direction.
