Passing through East Harlem and had a hankering for a quesadilla so decided to try out Quesadillas Doña Maty. Have passed by here a number of times and glad I stopped in. A festively decorated, homey space with seating, you order by the entrance. I selected a Quesadilla Al Pastor for $10. What I got was something different than the quesadillas format I'm used to. I'd compare it to a large taco, which some may view a bit pricey for the size. That being said, it was freshly made, good, and hit the spot,... although I'd need more for a full meal. Nevertheless, would definitely recommend checking out Quesadillas Doña Maty if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Torta de Milanesa de pollo con rajas is my go to! Although it's a little on the small side but I would say it is the best tortas I've had in my life. They also have great aguas frescas. My kids like the sopes de frijol con queso y crema. The service is quick and the ladies are nice. We enjoy the ambience and the music they play. read more

I'm so glad we discovered this charming little spot. We tried the vegetarian quesadillas, and they were incredibly fresh and flavorful--made even better by the house-made tortillas. The service was excellent, and it's clearly a local favorite, with neighbors stopping by throughout our visit. It's no surprise they've received accolades for their food and hospitality! read more

My cousin had recommended this spot since I was craving some tacos, and I thought it was such a cute place! Unfortunately, some of the menu items I had wanted were out, so I got their lengua taco, steak, and a tostada con carne. I enjoyed all of these and the staff was very warm and kind. Next time, I will have to try more of their items including their quesadillas but no complaints for my first visit here! read more

Quesadillas Doña Maty - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Never again It's not about what's missing as my friends hate cilantro and raw onions (latinas so hush) and salsa on side because every single joint makes salsa verde completely different Ok The left big amount of grilled steak is from TACO MIX . I never had an issue there!!! The right is from the place Quesadillas Dona Maty Not my first time but it is my last. They always have extremely slow service (ALWAYS) and look at this portion it's less then half from taco mix. I also refused the chicken tacos I ordered as they were cubes of dried overcooked (pre cooked) chicken breast. I'm not serving that to my friends and they gave me a refund. Luckily I was a few feet away from Taco mix where I already ordered Tacos Carnitas and Tacos Orejas. I just had to order steak to replace the chicken Not sorry I won't be back. 116th street fyi #NYC #tacos #Harlem read more

Very quick and fast service! One of the best and most authentic quesadilla places in Spanish Harlem with the CUTEST storefront and outdoor seating. Don't sleep on their tacos either! If you're adventurous (or vegetarian) try the huitlacoche --it's a delicacy! It brings a really nice savory/earthy flavor and pairs so well with the melty cheese and corn. read more

Me gusta el nuevo local mejor que el anterior, ahora está cerca de la estación de tren en la 116 cerca de Lexington. El interior se ve muy lindo con los colores brillantes, arte artesanaly flores. Se siente como si estas en un patio. Ordene la quesadilla de huitaloche y estaba muy rica, traía bastante queso. Las quesadillas de acá son más tradicionales y no lucen muy lindas pero el contenido es muy bueno. Tienen una buena variedad de carnes y vegetales para el relleno. read more

The good: Quesadillas were authentic and very tasty. Carne enchilada and Chicken Tinga both good options. Really nice people. Not as good: Taco de Huevo wasn't for me (they serve the egg hard boiled). Overall: Solid spot for authentic Mexican food in East Harlem. Would recommend read more

As a neighbor both living and working nearby, I've walked by this place a lot. Ive only bought food at this location like once or twice and their new location near Lexington once. Their creativity shows in how they decorate. It catches your eye. I personally don't really like to shop for Mexican food since I'm Mexican myself and literally eat this type of food everyday. Although I can't remember what I had at this location (it was probably a quesadilla like five to ten years ago), I visited their newest location on Lexington and was sort of underwhelmed by the food. I decided to order a Tlacoyo, a Chile Relleno taco, and a Gordita. Yeah I eat a lot. The gordita I ordered was of chicharron (fried pork). The only upside of the gordita was its size and the fact that they have epazote mixed in, a nice addition to the gordita. It was completely cut in half through the middle so it looked more like an arepa. It's usually cut in half through the middle but only half of the gordita. That's so it can be stuffed inside with lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheese and be able to hold all of these contents without falling apart. It's also easier to hold that way and eat. But since it was cut completely down the middle, it mostly felt apart as I tried holding it. I was also disappointed with the texture of the gordita. It felt old. That's usually noticeable when the masa is already cooked and reheated. The tlacoyo/huarache I was given was definitely NOT a tlacoyo. If you don't know what that is, it's a thick patty made of the same masa (dough) that's used for the tortillas and stuffed with dried beans. Once cooked, it's served with toppings, usually lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, cotija cheese, and meat if you order it. I ordered it with steak and when I opened it up at home, I was confused as to whether I ordered a tlacoyo or quesadilla or if they mixed up my order. They gave me an opened up tortilla (the ones made for quesadillas) and served it flat with beans (not dried) and all of the toppings I mentioned earlier. It looked more like a giant taco that had its contents already picked out and I was getting leftovers. That was rather disappointing. Lastly, the Chile relleno (Stuffed pepper) taco was alright. It was probably the best thing I ordered. The tortilla was hand made and served with rice (but no jalapeños which should've been added since it's advertised as "Taco Placeros" which includes both rice and jalapeños). The pepper was large and stuffed with frying cheese (queso de frier) so the texture is a bit stiff and rubbery. It was a tad spicy, which I don't mind. The pepper was also left with the top part that included the stem. I've definitely had it without so I thought that was rather lazy. Their places are definitely aesthetically pleasing. But so are many other places and I wouldn't come here just for that alone. I've read other comments praising the place for hand made tortillas but there are other places nearby that also make and serve hand made tortillas so that's not really unique. Budget wise, it can be worked with for some. I think the cheapest thing on the menu was $4 (can't remember the menu). The three things I ordered came out to around $27. I wouldn't really recommend the place but that's because when I want to go out and eat, I never stay in my neighborhood. For me, this is just a quick bite to eat and sadly was a tad disappointed. read more

I'm torn about this place. On the one hand, I like to support food cart and hole in the wall spots. On the other hand, I've never had a good quesadilla that had lettuce, and quesadillas are my go-to dish when judging taquerias and other Mexican food places. Everywhere I've seen lettuce in a quesadilla, it's usually a filler that shortchanges you on the carne and queso blanco. In this case, the meat here was just ok, but the lettuce really took the whole thing down a notch read more

Quesadillas Doña Maty - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Very good quesadillas, which for these Southern Californias were more like large semi-crispy corn tortilla tacos than the soft flour tortilla quesadillas we are accustomed to eating. We had the pollo asada and carnitas quesadillas and they were delicious. The salsas have a nice amount of heat, depending on your personal heat index strongly suggest you dip a finger and taste before pouring on your quesadilla. Quesadillas Dona Maty is a definite stop in the future when we visit our daughter. read more

This place makes THE best quesadillas I've ever tasted - the service is quick and the quality is out of this world. If you're ever in East Harlem you need to stop by this place and get yourself some food. The place is small, basically a hole in the wall with two precious ladies in the back working over that grill (god bless them). There are 4/5 small tables outside for you to sit and eat (or just wait for your order). I highly recommend the tinga de pollo quesadilla, but I must warn you, it's outrageously addictive. I once ordered one a day for 3 days straight. read more

Was in the area and was craving Mexican. This place looked super interesting and welcoming. My awkward self stumbled in and stared blankly at the menu. The lady out front walked me through how they do things here and was super sweet. I got a chicken quesadilla and decided to eat in the back. Chicken quesadilla is delicious as expected. Extremely spicy since I was very generous w the hot sauce. Yeah it's a bit questionable but totally homey inside. I dig the vibe. Pretty sure it's a family business which I respect There has yet to be a rat sighting. read more

Came across this place as I was stumbling back drunk from Lion Lion bar down the street. It was a little past 2 am and it was packed outside with people waiting for food. I knew the food had to be good if so many people were waiting in the early morning hours. I was wrong: the food was AMAZING. One of the customers recommended the Gordita and the security recommended the tinga pollo quesadilla. So I obviously had to try both. Absolutely loved, loved the Gordita. Crispy yet soft with a delicious kick. Goes especially well with the hot sauces. The quesadilla was great but not as finger licking delicious as the Gordita. I even came back the next night not drunk to make sure that my drunkenness hadn't fooled me into thinking the food was good and it was still wonderful. It is cash only. There are normally two very sweet women making the food on the grill outside and there are tables and chairs inside to enjoy the food. Small place...not more than 5 tables. Prices are very good for the quality of food you are getting! Well worth a visit!! read more

The Quesadillas are really good and love that they are open 24hrs but i really am upset at how they have decreased the amount of lettuce, cheese, sour cream etc. They are cutting back on less stuff to add to your tacos and quesadillas making it not taste as good as it use too. Great food but this is also a reason why customers start to think twice about ordering from here again. Q read more

Value: 6/10 Experience: 7/10 Taste: 5/10 I paid $5 for a chicharron quesadilla. It was definitely on the small side but my biggest gripe was that the chicharron had no tasted and had the texture of a soggy sponge. We needed the sauce to give the food flavor as well. read more

Uptown baby we gets down baby! More so in East Harlem where this little lady with big flava are slinging tacos, quesadillas and huaraches all day and night like nobody's biznass! Chicken tinga huarache was my go to at QDM! With these huaraches, the large corn tortilla was nicely charred til it was crispy and served open-faced. It was a little tricky cutting into the crisp tortilla because meat and fats squeezed out from the edges, but once I took one bite it was sexy time flashbacks at a taqueria in the SF's Mission District. The chicken tinga had a nice amount of shredded chicken inside and was quite spicy, creamy, cheesy. Oh and that heat helped warm up my body pillows since it was colder than a polar bear sleeping in a freezer while we were getting our huarache on! Grab a bunch of wipes and pop a squat dining on the benches next to QDM and go to town with authentic yumminess! An absolute without a doubt 5 star gem in East Harlem! And you can't beat that with a bat! read more

Huge rats running through my feet while I was eating. I tried to address the problem and was told that the owner won't do anything about it. Not 1 or 2 but more than 3 big rats running around and into the kitchen! Wish I could give 0 stars. read more

Still really awesome! Prices are fantastic. Service is kind and quick, and the food is made fresh when you order. I don't even drink coffee, but I had to try the cafe de olla. It was very tasty coffee! I am taking one star of because I got a torta and it was just missing the magic. I'm not sure what happened, maybe it was an off day, but I couldn't finish the torta. I would still come back for some authentic, cheap quesadillas though. read more

Sorry. Ive been living in East Harlem for 20 years now and I just had the worst Mexican food ever. My wife and i waited 30 minutes for 2 quesadillas for takeout and when we got home and saw the food i almost threw it out the window. They both looked so mediocre. I ordered chorizo and my wife order carnitas. They both were just chunks of pork fat. It was so bad i couldn't finish it and tossed it out. Never ever again. Doña Maty your a disappointment !!! read more

Pretty solid quesadillas!!!! I ordered the chicken quesadilla, which cost $5.00. The cook, also runs the restaurant and does her magic upfront (curbside). I stepped in and felt like I I was back in Mexico on vacation except I could feel the slight chill coming through the front door (back to reality). The space is nicely decorated. The quesadilla tasted like authentic Mexican quesadilla which is a plus. The pepper sauce is so delicious, but warning if you have low spice tolerance stand clear you will feel the burn. Altogether this place is a great cheap eat with delicious flavors served with charm. read more

Very authentic Mexican street food. The quesadillas have more meat than cheese in them and are delicious. I had the Tinga (chicken) Quesadilla at Doña Maty's (the owner/cook) suggestion and it was amazing.

This is a fantastic hidden gem in east Harlem. Walking down the street my father and I had initially passed it, as it is buried in the middle of other small businesses in a neighbourhood that is buzzing with people and charm. As a small lunch or dinner I would 100% recommend stopping by. As a hungry young man, I had to eat 2 of their quesadillas to get full, but that's coming from a person who eats more than most would. Even with eating 2 meals, it was still cheaper than most alternatives. And it was nice to see that the food quality was not sacrificed by the low price. This was some of the best Mexican food I've had and I'm sure to stop by again! read more

Tried this place for dinner during the week with a friend. You can sit and eat inside or order and eat at home, the kitchen is outside the restaurant which is weird but adds a feel of "street food." My friend ordered the tacos and they were alright, I ordered the Chicken Torta and it was delicious! Overall this place is good for cheap Mexican food. read more
