    This is my go-to Mexican spot to order from! The food is always greatly packed and taste absolutely delicious!! Birria Tacos are amazing from here too!

    Inside

    What an unexpected surprise, it the best way. We are always on the hunt for really authentic Mexican food, and we are more often than not, extremely disappointed and underwhelmed. Our stop here was purely by chance, having literally walked out of three other places nearby and exhausted from a long day of work. I've walked by it before, but from the outside, it didn't seem like much so we never checked out. But, boy am I glad we did. First of all, it has a really genuine Mexican feel to it, and extremely welcoming. It's not fancy by any means or spectacularly decorated, but that's part of its charm. It's a neighborhood haunt that is exactly what it should be. Service to me is everything, and the waitress was adorable and friendly and great with recommendations and being attentive without being annoying. The only real negative with this place was the time it took to get our food. It was a bit on the long side, especially given that we were the only people in the restaurant at the time. (Though they clearly do a considerable take out business.) That said, OMG ... what came out once it did was well worth the wait, and clearly cooked from scratch, not from some tray or backend freezer where it was pre-made. This was the real, AUTHENTIC deal. (I love that we could see into the kitchen and see that each dish was being carefully prepared too.) And the proportions were humongous. I had the steak fajita. It was so perfectly cooked and tender. The meat literally melted in my mouth. Flavorful and with just the right seasoning. I had some leftover that I brought home. It never made it to the next morning. I finished it before the night was over, and I typically don't eat leftovers. My hubby had the enchilada. That was delicious. Yes, I ate some of that too ... including what he had left over. I can't remember the last time I had good Mexican food like this. We've eaten at some of the best NYC Mexican restaurants from $ to $$$$ from Queens to Manhattan. And by far, this is one of our favorites.

    Carne Quesadilla y enchiladas. We also got Jamaicas!

    DELICIOUS! We love this place! My brother & I found this place while visiting the nearby hospital & we've been going whenever we get the chance ! We get something different on the menu everytime & it always hits the spot ! Great atmosphere, great service, yummy food & also affordable!

    Husband was craving mexican so we decided to order for delivery. The shrimp tacos were not good - shrimp was curled up and smaller than a pinky nail and fillings consisted of overcooked old green peppers. Sort of reminded me of a pre made frozen taco. We also ordered a pork quesadilla and steak burrito. The quesadilla was alright but nothing out of this world and was also very salty. Now for the burrito - The burrito had an unpleasant surprise. We found a piece of trapped hair between the lid of the container and the food and pulled it out thinking fine, whatever, no big deal (even during covid *rolls eyes*). But when we opened it up, we also found a dead mosquito inside. Are you people serious? Absolutely disgusting, esp during a pandemic.

    I really have anything to say but good stuff ! There hasn't been anything that I didn't enjoy when our company orders from here on our Friday lunch meetings! Definitely recommend!

    Awesome authentic Mexican place. Ive only had delivery here so I don't know what the actual restaurant looks like. They are on seamless which is what i used to order from them. Delivery was super quick and the food was delicious. Pretty good for anywhere but i think they stand out a little in this area because they are not too many Mexican restaurants in the area. I had the spicy pork which came with rice and beans and I also had a side of the rice and beans. Both were very good. Definitely going to try other things on the menu as well.

    Chicken burrito
    Lorenzo G.

    Doesn't look like much from outside, but food is pretty good. Ordered food to go. Chicken burrito was big and liked the grilled chicken but would have liked more chicken than rice and beans. Cheese enchiladas plate with green sauce was really good and flavorful. Also got the side order of guacamole, which was freshly made and a good portion; included chips. Overall a good place to get Mexican food.

    3 Birria Tacos estilo Jalisco (IT COMES WITH CONSOME/BEEF SOUP)

    Was looking for Birria tacos in the neighborhood and stumbled upon this place on seamless. Food: I ordered the Birria tacos and I would rate it 10/10 SO GOOD! The thing I like about their Birria tacos is that it includes cheese (some places don't do that). I didn't see Birria consome on the menu but they actually pack it with the Birria tacos order. I got a small container with the beef soup (aka Birria consome) to dip the tacos in and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend the Birria tacos and look forward to trying out more of their menu items! Delivery: it was really well packed, the soup didn't leak and the tacos weren't messed up or anything. So I definitely recommend it for delivery! It was also super quick and came piping hot despite being a little far from me.

    Overall the Taste is just average, we ordered beef shrimp & pork tacos and they were pretty dry. The chicken quesadilla was okay meat was dry as well. Black beans way less than I expected. Skip the Salad underneath were all shredded lettuce.

    Tacos mixtos

    Delicious Mexican food home-style. Carlos has the 'magic touch' to make any dish, from tacos, enchiladas or flautas to the magnificent Molcajete a real Mexican party of flavors. Delicioso!

Boy were the reviews here about this place way off the mark, and while I understand that there is nothing else around the area, it still doesn't warrant such high marks for an establishment that falls below the mark in my opinion. I ordered 5 different tacos and 3 sopes, For the tacos I ordered an al pastor, cecina, lengua, beef and chicken, while for the sopes, I ordered a beef, chicken and cecina. The tacos were all incredibly dry, and meat way too over cooked and tough for it to be enjoyable, I must have been chewing the rubbery meat here the entirety of the meal as opposed to actually enjoying the meal. The fact that there was no delectable guacamole on top of the tacos made them even more dry and less enjoyable. The only redeeming taco here was the chicken, which was season fairly well, and surprisingly a lot less dry and tough than I expected. The sopes were equally as bad, however the sour creme and the beans did help a bit with the dryness. in short you're better off with a taco truck, or my personal favorite around the area, bellas place restaurant

It's a mini bodega store in the front and a cute little restaurant area in the back. I waited a while for my chicken and pork tacos were being made and chilled in the back restaurant area. They had quite a few people eating at the few tables and people ordering to go. They have an extensive menu of Mexican and American foods. I took my food to go and my tacos were just okay and at least very affordable. However, not great enough for me to drive way out to eat just the tacos. On the other hand, I will return to check out a heartier traditional Mexican meal to see if these yelp reviews live up to their hype.

    I was so wonderfully surprised to find this vegetarian and vegan diner. The name alone, Smile of…read morethe Beyond, is so unique and quirky, and I loved it. They always have vegan pancakes on the menu, but when I went, the special was vegan peach and mango pancakes piled high with vegan whipped cream and a little cinnamon. They were some of the most flavorful vegan pancakes I've ever had. The vegan bacon was the best I've ever had, perfectly crisp. The Ginger Blast drink was the perfect spicy, refreshing addition. The whole place has such a peaceful, distinctive vibe. They play soothing, meditative music, like the kind you'd hear in a spa, and they have cute inspirational cards that make the experience feel even more special. The diner has been around since 1972, and that sense of character really comes through. It's owned and operated by students of spiritual teacher, poet, and philosopher Sri Chinmoy, which helps explain the calm, uplifting atmosphere. If you're anywhere near here, definitely go.

We went on a Saturday morning, which was busy but it was only a 10 minute wait for a roomy booth. We ordered a vegan egg, cheese and sausage sandwich and a vegan Philly cheesesteak. The Philly was delicious and the flavor was amazing. The breakfast sandwich was just okay. One thing I was surprised about was that nothing else came with our orders, unlike general diners. No greens, breakfast hash, fries, etc. So when ordering, keep that in mind. The strawberry banana smoothie was so good and the ginger shot was good value for the price. We were still a bit hungry so we grabbed a cookie from the front cashier and had it added to our bill. I would come back, pretty much because it's the only vegetarian/vegan diner that I know of.
