Taco restaurant
Mexican restaurant
LOS TACOS No.1 is a lively taqueria that offers a variety of tacos, quesadillas, and aguas frescas in a casual street-style setting without seating. The establishment has contributed to the resurgence of authentic Mexican cuisine in New York City, with its focus on nourishing and expertly crafted tacos. The al pastor taco is particularly popular among patrons.
We ordered tacos, a tostada, and chips and guac. Food was delicious. Everything was fresh. Well flavored meat (we had asada). Guacamole was creamy and super good. A nice salsa selection at the salsa bar. Service was amazing especially for how busy they are. Food comes quickly and the staff is welcoming and friendly.
Yvette C — Google review
I was shocked by how good the adobada, guacamole, and fresh salas were (I would say you can akip the pollo asado and maybe even the care asada though they are good too). Ive heard so many negative things about the Mexican food in NYC. Im so glad I had an excellent experience 😋. The restaurant was abaolutely spotless and the staff was all excellent too. I hope to come back sometime.
Josh — Google review
This is one of our favorite stops in NYC! The food is exceptional and we have not had one bad experience. The best taco is the pork one but you can’t go wrong with any of their selections.
Andrei B — Google review
Pretty good, I'd probably give this 3.5 stars if i could. Pros: adobada pork is the winner here, it's very good and worth returning just for that alone. All the food is clearly fresh and made with intent. Good side bar avail with extra toppings Cons: cost is too high for what you get. i like a bit of crumbled mexican cheese on my tacos which is not standard here. No beer. No bathrooms. Guac is too blended into a goo for my taste. And the steak and cactus tacos are totally forgettable.... mostly bland.

BEST TACOS I’VE EVER HAD. if you’re visiting New York City, this place it’s a must try!! everything is so good, starting with the staff and the tacos are freshly made with handmade tortillas. The workers definitely deserve a rise because they’re doing an AMAZING job!!!
Daniela R — Google review
LOS TACOS No.1 serves authentic and flavorful tacos, and I tried the pollo asado (chicken), adobada (pork), and carne asada (beef) — all were excellent. A big plus for me is that they offer wheat flour tortillas, which is great if you’re not a fan of corn tortillas. The staff are friendly, though service is minimal, as the spot is more about quick, casual dining. The atmosphere is simple and lively, perfect for a quick bite in the area.
Amin S — Google review

Was in the area for work and figured why not! Well I was pleasantly surprised that although the line was really long….the wait wasn’t. I had the chicken tacos which were very tasty. The food was fresh, quickly prepared and did not disappoint. Stop in for a quick bite to eat. Just a side note.. there are no tables just high tables to stand and eat at.

Delivery Restaurant
Tacos El Bronco is a simple eatery located in Sunset Park, offering a diverse menu of authentic Mexican dishes, including lunch specials. The neighborhood is renowned for its exceptional taco spots, and Tacos El Bronco competes with other local favorites. The restaurant has garnered a dedicated following for its tripe and an array of tantalizing tacos such as al pastor, chorizo, and cabeza. Notably, their succulent pork carnitas stand out as the best in Brooklyn.
Great service, happy people, fresh food and improv music. The service is great. Our waitress is always smelling and making our dinner so welcoming. She gave us extra salsa and chip. There are lot of space for seat service and it wasn’t busy for our dinner time. Food is delicious. Someone else ordered fajita but I settle for a burrito. It’s filling and good amount of food. There are so many things on the menu and I need to come back. Occasionally there will be people playing music for tip while you are eating. It’s something to just accept.

Excellent tacos. 🌮 This is a usual spot for us and it never disappoints here. The large tacos have guacamole in it and it also comes with an entire grilled green onion. Now, I hate onions. But I have no clue why I’m able to eat it here with the tacos… it’s that good. Opt for the regular tacos. The small size is fine but for just a dollar more you get more bang for the buck, literally. Very low key establishment. It isn’t festive. I don’t believe they serve alcohol either. But the tacos are amazing. And amazingly affordable! As always, better to eat fresh and dine in. The fajitas are good and the sizzling plates is nice…. but order the Tacos… when the restaurant’s name begins with Tacos, you better order the Tacos 🌮!!! 👍🏼👍🏼

I recently dined here and ordered shrimp and fish tacos. While the fish taco was absolutely delicious, the shrimp taco fell slightly short of my expectations. One minor disappointment was being charged for a cup of hot water without prior notification. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend this restaurant to others, particularly for their fish tacos.

Taco Mix is a no-frills, cozy counter-serve spot that has been serving up marinated pork and other Mexican dishes since 1990. The workers skillfully prepare the pork, achieving a perfect balance of fat, salt, and char. They expertly slice crisp meat onto tortillas with toasted pineapple. The menu features a variety of street tacos adorned with traditional toppings like Al Pastor, Oreja, Buche, Tripa, and Chorizo.
Tried this place and I love it. Got me some steaks tacos came with a nice spicy sauce limes and radish. It was 12am and place still has clients and delivery drivers come in and out. Next time I come I'll try a few other things but this place is great

A solid little taco shop with a good variety of tacos and other speciality items like huaraches. The meat is freshly made and hot. The tacos themselves are decent, a little messy, and I wish they had a little more seasoning and flavor. The salsa is good, the shop is a fun little late night spot.
Blake R — Google review
I didn’t get a chance to experience inside dining, and ordered via Uber eats. Delivery took longer than expected. I ordered 3 single steak tacos separately. Price was decent. Upon arrival, the food was a bit messy and cold. Meat was very flavorful, but a tab bit over cooked and my lemons was dry, I didn’t get much drops out of them. 5/10. I’ve had better. My coworkers ordered pork tacos, she said they SUCKED! I don’t think I’ll order again

I found them on Uber eats, and now I walk to their restaurant and order my favorite Nacho Bowl it's the best ever to me. I would recommend trying it because you won't be disappointed.

I had a grilled chicken burrito from Taco Mix and overall it was pretty good. The chicken was flavorful and the portion size was satisfying. However, the sour cream was only on one side of the burrito, which made for an uneven bite, kind of disappointing. I also tried the verde tomatillo sauce, which was advertised as spicy, but it turned out to be just sour with no noticeable heat. Pricing is fair if you order directly, but I noticed it's about $0.50 more expensive when ordering through Uber Eats.
Lisa K — Google review
$22 for this very underwhelming burrito bowl. Steak was hard to chew. My food was ready in less than one minute when ordering in the store. Now I remember why I never come here anymore. A lot better options in the area

So i just order through Uber about a hour ago. I ordered 2 different tacos. One chorizo, one steak. I recieve 4 tortillas with the meat mixed as if I bought 1. I was highly upset at first because I had to scoop it up and make the 2 tacos that I bought, but after tasting the meat definitely looked past it. Those were honestly some of the best tacos I ever had. I also bought a quesadilla. I dont know what the hell that is but it's not no quesadilla
Brandee L — Google review
When I first started ordering from here about a year and a half ago the food was really good and became my go to for mexican. However the price went up my usual order that would cost $13 was $16 and the food also started to become a hit or miss. Sometimes it was good other times it was burnt or cold. Now the price is $17.50 for a burrito. Thats absolutely ridiculous and has become unaffordable for me to buy my usual from here. Who has nearly $18 to spend on a burrito?? If you want steak it’s an extra $1.50 thats almost $20 for a burrito…. Please be more considerate of your customers. I wish to keep being able to afford to eat here because when it’s good it’s really good but i cant justify spending that much anymore.

Welcome to the vibrant world of Birria-Landia, a food truck phenomenon that has taken New York City by storm since its inception in 2019. Founded by brothers Jose and Jesus Moreno, who honed their culinary skills at renowned establishments like Lupa and Parm, this mobile eatery started in Jackson Heights and has expanded across all five boroughs. The latest stop is on the Lower East Side at the bustling intersection of East Houston and First Avenue.
It's an incredible dining experience. Their birria tacos are simply delicious, and the broth that accompanies them is the best. My daughter really enjoyed her meal. Don't miss out on visiting this place, 100% recommended.

Last Saturday went to see what all the hype was about. I ordered 3 Birria tacos and the consomme. Tacos were tasty but the consomme took it to the next level- flavor explosion! Price wise the consomme was $5.00 for a small serving. Tacos were $3.50 each. Next time I'll try the Birria tostadas!!!🌮

I ordered this from Uber Eats with the hopes of finding a great place to have birria tacos, and it did not let me down. If I wanted to, I could drink the birria like bone broth because it's so delicious. It has a lovely crimson hinge and is expertly seasoned. To my astonishment, there was even meat in there. The quality is excellent and the price is quite fair.

Taqueria Ramirez is a popular eatery in Greenpoint known for its traditional meat tacos, including pastor and tripa. The compact, subway-tiled spot often has long lines, especially in the evenings. For a more relaxed experience, it's recommended to visit around noon on a weekday. The menu features six types of tacos, consome, and non-alcoholic drinks.
I love this place. It's a must have anytime I'm in the city. I love bringing people here and watching their minds explode with how amazing these tacos are. Super small shop so only bring one or two people but worth waiting in line for. 10/10 Tacos.
Mark S — Google review
The tortilla was slightly greasy but had a unique touch, and while the meat was a bit under-seasoned, it really let the natural flavor of the meat shine through. It was incredibly tender, too. The salsa was delicious, and overall, the atmosphere was fun and enjoyable. Definitely a place with character!

Not used to having tacos of this style or quality in NYC! Was delighted to visit this taqueria with a local friend who reigns from California, so we know how to sniff out the authentic stuff. Love a simple menu, and when you see a trompo, and a fully stocked salsa bar, you know you’re in the right place. Will always make it a point to stop here when I’m in the area.

I hadn’t had tacos this good in such a long time! I originally planned to come right when they opened, but arrived a bit late — just in time for the lunch rush. The line was pretty long, and I saw some people ordering to-go and eating outside, so I was worried I might have to do the same. Luckily, a spot opened up inside, and I got to sit down. We started by ordering six tacos — one of each kind — and shared them between the two of us. Every single one was amazing! They were so good that we ended up ordering two more. I also loved the self-serve topping bar — it was fun to add what I liked. Overall, everything was delicious, and the experience was totally worth the wait. Highly recommend!
Gyunghee K — Google review
Went here with my girlfriends today… It was pretty good. Al pastor was fire. My friend said the first bite of hers was really gross, but the rest of it was good so I’m not sure what that’s about but they pretty much just give you the meat on your taco and then you dress it yourself with onion, cilantro, lime, and sauce.
Candy G — Google review
The place is not over hyped. We got the campechano, tripa, nopales and the pastor. All the fillings were delicious and you can top it with sauces, lime, onion and coriander at the counter. The nopales which is cactus was one of my favourites and the pastor. Although I wish there was more pineapple in it. You'll likely have to stand and eat but the service was great and super fast

Little gem in Greenpoint! Amazing tacos like in Mexico. Very small place with not so many seating but worth it! My favorite taco was the Longaniza one with spicy beef.
Nathan R — Google review
I've been wanting to come here forever, and I finally made it--just 40 minutes before closing! Unfortunately, they were out of suadero and tripa, which I was really looking forward to, but that just gives me a reason to come back earlier next time. The spot is small with limited seating, yet it was still buzzing with energy late into the night. The upbeat music added to the lively atmosphere, making it a great place to grab a bite. I ordered the pastor, which was hands down my favorite--packed with flavor and topped with a perfectly thin slice of pineapple for that extra touch of sweetness. The longaniza (spiced ground pork sausage) was decent, but not really my thing. The campechano, a mix of suadero and longaniza, was juicier thanks to the beef, making it a solid choice. The wait wasn't too bad, and I loved the small DIY toppings station where you can load up on onions, cilantro, and sauces. The spicy sauce was incredible--just the right amount of heat! I'll definitely be back to try the other tacos. Can't wait!

When I called to complain about the order ($150) they offered to replace the item or refund the item and not comp the whole order.

The service and atmosphere is great. The complementary chips and salsa was amazing (crunchy and fresh). I ordered 3 tacos- chicken, fish and shrimp. As well as a coconut mojito (not sure why it’s brown but it was pretty tasty and of a decent strength). I originally thought when my food arrived that they looked very authentic. The fish taco was so well seasoned that it didn’t look like fish nor taste haha I thought it was the chicken taco until I saw the texture after a few bites. The chicken and shrimp tacos were okay, a little more on the bland side of things. I’m not a fan of flour tortillas but overall the tacos were okay, the portion size per taco is great. Each taco was packed with protein. I’d return but I’d probably order something different or stick to the fish taco. Service was excellent, I tipped generously. The waitresses make you feel at home. Excellent value- it was during happy hr

Cosme is a trendy Mexican restaurant known for its sleek and modern atmosphere, featuring a large bar and locally sourced share plates.

The menu offers sophisticated yet approachable dishes, including warm homemade tacos with unique fillings like duck carnitas or Berkshire pork chop. Additionally, the restaurant is renowned for its excellent tequila and mezcal cocktails.
Wow! Always a pleasure to come here. We celebrated our wedding anniversary with our daughter and got the special (tomahawk steak) and the duck. What word is better than excellent! Our server and staff were on point and friendly, and the food came out at the right pace and just delicious. We also shared the salad and guacamole, both light and tasty, to start as appetizers. After eating the entrees, we were full. My only criticism is the lighting. Although we sat at a table with a spot light on part of the table, just be aware that it is dim lighting. Fortunately, I sat at the right spot to see everything.

Fancy place. Did not quite understood their food concept but was very well served. The duck texture was very soft and it was something very different from my usual dinings. Giving a five star cause of this new experience in a Mexican food. Asian fusion? The Cone Cream Meringue was also different!

A fantastic modern take on Mexican cuisine — easily one of the best restaurants I’ve tried in New York. The lobster is an absolute must, and so is the guacamole! Their cocktails are also top-notch, beautifully balanced and creative. Every dish was full of flavor and presentation was on point. Highly recommended for a vibrant dining experience!!
Nurdan K — Google review
Cosme, to me, felt like a concept where the creators knew how to make one thing incredibly well, and in order to create an ecosystem, added a bunch of other things that did not live to the expectations of that main dish. Below all the plates we got, in the order that we got them: The Ensalada de la Casa and the Herb Guacamole were completely forgettable. Nothing really stood out, both dishes were a bit disappointing. The corn tostadas were good, but couldn't save the dish. I would not recommend you to order any of these. The Sishito Esquite was an interesting concept; it tasted good, but it had nothing to do with a real equiste. While I do enjoy different takes on traditional dishes, I like when they maintain at least a core element of what makes something a particular dish; I would have never guessed this was esquite if I had tried it without the name, instead, this to me felt much more like a nice take on Konchijeu (Korean cheese corn). The mole was just okay, the taste was good but it felt like it could have been an accompanying side to a main, instead of it's own individual dish. The Duck Carnitas were absolutely phenomenal. This was by far the highlight of the entire dinner. The duck would instantly melt just by touching it and the salsas and homemade fresh tortillas that accompanied the dish were fantastic, we really couldn't get enough of it. The Corn Husk Meringue was also incredibly delicious. The blend of both textures (solid/cream) and flavors (sweet meringue/savory corn) worked very well together, and was overall a great dessert to share between 3 people. Restaurant atmosphere is great, the place is dimmed but lights are strategically placed so you have enough visibility over your table, sort of like a spotlight. Plating and cutlery suited the restaurant perfectly. Service was good, albeit a bit on the slow side - I recommend to ask the staff for refills (tortillas, lime, etc) before you actually finish the one you have to account for that. Staff was super kind and approachable, I just hoped they would explain a bit more about the dishes and maybe some tips on how to consume them, my guests told me they wouldn't have figured out how to eat some of these dishes if I wasn't there to explain it to them. Overall, as it is, I don't think this place is worth it's current price point; however, I would definitely return and just get the Duck Carnitas and the Corn Meringue without any of the other stuff for a 5/5 dinner experience.

The space has dark but tasteful vibes, though a little on the warm side — the AC could have been lower. Service was excellent — Stephania took great care of us, very attentive and thoughtful, refreshing our table with clean plates multiple times. The steak was flavorful, tender, and cooked perfectly. The duck tacos were a standout — rich, balanced, and definitely worth ordering. Overall, a top-notch dining experience.

Bar seats are always a great choice here! The service is warm and attentive, the dishes are creative and full of flavor, and while the portions are on the smaller side, that’s part of the whole experience. Drinks are amazing too !

Food is very good but maybe not great. Service was pretty impeccable and nice atmosphere. Desserts were awesome. The rest of the meal was all good albeit slightly forgettable. Nothing we didn’t like but nothing really wowed either.

Outstanding experience for our group of 4. Luckily, we were wise enough to order two portions of the Pastor Prawns to share because they were so delicious, everyone wanted seconds. Most dishes come with tortillas, which makes it easy to share and taste multiple dishes. Mezcal, wine and non-alcoholic cocktail selections were wonderful. We ordered the Strip Steak and Duck Carnitas to share which was a wonderful anchor to our meal. Service was very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend and definitely come back.

Casa Enrique is a casual cantina in Long Island City, Queens that offers refined Mexican classics and cocktails in a modern setting with concrete floors. It holds the distinction of being the only Michelin-starred restaurant in the borough, making it one of the top dining destinations. Chef Cosme Aguilar, who hails from Chiapas, Mexico, infuses his complex menu with flavors from various regions and cities, including his own childhood recipes.
This is a terrific Mexican restaurant with some of the most delightful dishes. Steak is super tender, perfectly cooked at medium raw, juicy and melts in your mouth. Tacos come with fresh corn tortillas. The meat is fresh, sweet and savory. Fish ceviche is tangy, spicy. The restaurant is right off of Vernon, slightly more secluded being next to a children park/playground. Outdoor seatings are available. Service is quick. We were able to get a table on a Saturday afternoon for an early dinner without a reservation. The price is on the higher end for mexican food but I still recommend for occasional treat for anyone to try.

Went here last Sunday. My group got a spread of 12 tacos: 4 chicken, 4 pork, 2 brisket, 2 fish. The brisket was the best. Came shredded and juicy. The fish was also pretty good. The chicken and pork tacos were pretty bland and very dry. All the tacos were served at the same time and all were tepid apart from the fish (which was nice and hot), so I think it might have been hanging around for a while waiting for the fish to be ready. On the bright side the service was lovely and attentive. We also got the cocktail specials which were delicious. Overall it's a nice place, but at $9 per taco, I had expected to be amazed, and they were just middling. An al-dente carrot slice in an already dry taco just does not work! p.s. we were sat outside and got mobbed by mosquitoes towards the end of the meal, so had to leave in a hurry. The staff did kindly provide bug spray though.

Great meal at Casa Enrique last night. We had an 8:30 reservation but were able to get sat early, as we arrived faster than anticipated. Lovely service, and we had enough pozole to bring home with us. Perfect as the weather is turning cold. Need to return to dig into more of their long cocktail list!

Great experience here on a Friday night! We were seated at the bar and our bartender/water was super attentive and made excellent drink/entree recommendations. One of the best spicy margaritas I’ve had in a while! He was very knowledgeable about the tequila/mezcal options which I appreciate. The food was good, elevated takes on traditional Mexican flair. Pop in if you can get a seat! It’s very busy!

The Casa Enrique brunch menu was a mixed bag. The flautas de pollo ($22 plus tax) and the pastel tres leches ($13) were hits. The guacamole ($18), though creamy, was very bland for something supposed to be medium spicy. This was concerning because the classics should be executed exceptionally. The virgin Bloody Mary was also a miss, the added sugar imparting an odd syrupy taste.
Augusto P — Google review
Went on a Sunday evening without a reservation and was warmly welcomed. The service was attentive and kind throughout. The guacamole was excellent—creamy and full of flavor—and the fresh chips were a perfect match. I also tried the spicy margarita, which was satisfying, though just a bit too spicy for my taste. The mole chicken was something new for me—rich and interesting, though I personally missed a touch of fresh herbs to round it out. The tortillas were fantastic, though—fresh and full of flavor. And whatever those crunchy little things they bring out before the meal are—totally addictive. Yum!

Empellon is a contemporary Mexican restaurant that has become a hot spot for its innovative tacos and creative cocktails. The restaurant is part of Alex Stupak's growing Mexican food empire, with locations in Midtown, the East Village, the West Village, and the Upper West Side.
A great space with a very buzzy atmosphere, this is a great after-work spot. They serve up great margaritas with a few creative takes - their saffron margarita was definitely a new one for me. And the chips with guacamole and seven salsas are awesome - I’d come just for a couple of drinks and an order of those! I also had a couple of their elevated tacos - the pastrami and the fish tempura. The pastrami was nice, but I felt it could’ve been a bit more tender. But the fish tempura was outstanding with a great crunch and nice flavors. All in all a great spot that I’ll come back to.
ReedH — Google review
The elevated Mexican food was very good. Surprisingly the pasta (cappelletti) was my favorite, but the rich salsas and the pastrami in the tacos were also good. The pastrami tacos are large and filling. The carrot salad, while tasty, wasn't really a salad, just carrots on coconut cream. The service was very attentive. While there is plenty of space between tables, the place is very loud and didn't feel intimate.

We had lunch and everything was really outstanding. The guacamole was exceptional and it was fun trying all of the accompanying salsas. We really loved the carrot appetizer. Tacos are also a standout, with corn tortillas that are fresh and flavorful. I would love to go back. One nice touch we noticed is that cold dishes were served on chilled plates which made the food extra refreshing.

I don’t even know where to start. The ambience delight and the music is phenomenal. The service is top notch, one of the best in the city. Before you even think about it, the service staff already knows that you need something. The servers and waiters are extremely attentive and polite. The food every entry of the menu was better than the next we received. When we thought we couldn’t be wild with more, we received a complementary dessert which was out of this world. We will for sure be coming back. Thank you to the team and the chef for such an amazing Experience.

I went there with my partner on our anniversary. The food was top notch, especially the dessert that looks like an avocado. The service was amazing as well.

Stopped in for a drink and appetizer so can’t comment on much of the menu but there were definitely some different choices I would come back to try. The queso was very good, a different rendition with chorizo on top but the cheese was creamy and the chorizo cooked well and tasty. It was served with corn tortillas that were thin, chewy and warm, for me a perfect tortilla. The cucumber margarita was tasty but a little light on alcohol. I didn’t try, but saw the guacamole being served and it looked great.

Tex-Mex restaurant
Yellow Rose is a Tex-Mex restaurant in Humble that offers a variety of dishes such as tacos, tortas, and chalupas along with margaritas and creative cocktails. The place is known for its San Antonio-style tacos, including the rich Barbacoa filled with slow-simmered beef cheeks and the lively Shredded Chicken Verde. They also offer unique brunch options like Chorizo and Egg tacos.
I’m nine months pregnant and came in to ask to use the bathroom and they graciously let me. Then I saw the menu, and saw that they have vegan queso and cashew crema so I stayed for lunch. (I’m allergic to milk so I was excited to try it) It was seriously so delicious. I got the chicken mole- and my whole pregnancy I have not wanted to eat chicken, but it was unbelievably delicious. Grateful I found this place and I can’t wait to come back!

If you’re looking for flavorful and comforting Tex-Mex, then this is your place! The cornbread was a solid 11/10 because it was so moist and delicious with every bite. The flour tortillas are made in house and they paired deliciously with the fixings inside of the taco. I do have to say that the frozen margarita was incredible. They were strong but subtly sweet, and the flavor of the week (which is in rotation weekly) was guava! Nothing artificial about it at all!

Amazing little place for Mexican food! Came here after a haircut nearby and was pleasantly surprised by everything! The service was really attentive and accommodating. You order at the counter. They asked about dietary restrictions and then brought everything out to the table. The food is delicious I got the Huarache with the spicy pork. It usually come with cheese and crema but they did not put that in mine because I’m lactose intolerant. My husband got a carnitas and al pastor taco and both were delicious!! The sauces are made in house and they bring a nice brightness to the meal!

Absolutely obsessed with this place. The food is so worth the price, and the staff is so attentive and kind the whole time you’re there. If you sit down you get free chips+salsa, so you can get absolutely stuffed for 10$. I highly recommend the el diablito tacos. Beware the orange salsa, it’s SO good but it’s very spicy🔥 if you can handle it I drizzle it on the tacos. There’s only three tables+ two window seats, but both times I’ve been here there wasn’t more than one other person sitting down, it seemed like most people got takeout. If you’re looking for authentic local Mexican food for a low price, GO HERE!

My rating is more of complaints about portion size and menu not being exactly up front. I got a fish taco which was really good but the fish in the taco was basically a chicken nugget. I’m used to the fish being longer than the taco, but can be okay with it being smaller. This place though slaps you in the face with the portion size. I also ordered Nachos, you can’t mess those up right? It’s a Mexican place so the description said cheese, I expected actual cheese. Not disgusting nacho cheese sauce, if I wanted that I would go to taco bell

Very strange experience, we walked in and the staff just stared at us without saying anything. There was probably only five people dining at the time we walked in so being busy wasn't a problem for them. I asked do we have a seat and again nothing. We started to walk the long way out to leave and a waiter finally said have a seat here, here or there. We painfully sat down and opted to order only two tacos as the experience was so strange already. We ordered two tacos Crispy Chicken Tinga and Al Pastor, both were regrettably dry. We would never return or suggest this place.

This restaurant may have had the funnest vibe and aesthetic out of all the restaurants we went to. You feel like you are in a street alley in Mexico, as vetted by my Mexican friend. However, the good things somewhat stop there. The food was definitely delicious but for the price and portion I was surprised. My burrito with ribeye from the famous Pat LaFrieda meat purveyors was maybe 5% meat and 90% potato. For the price I’d definitely hope for more. Regardless the vibes of the place were really cool, I just wish the price for the food was more justified.

Oxomoco is a vibrant Mexican restaurant located in Greenpoint, New York. The airy eatery boasts a hip aesthetic with a massive skylight, hanging plants, and an ornamental bar. However, it's the unique menu offerings that set Oxomoco apart. Chef Justin Bazdarich utilizes a wood-fired oven to craft delectable dishes such as shrimp ceviche tostadas, lamb barbacoa tacos, and chicken a las brazas with honey and salsa.
We’re so glad we went out of our way to experience Oxomoco — this one Michelin star gem is absolutely worth the trip. From the moment you step inside, the bright, airy space transports you straight to Mexico. It’s laid-back yet elevated, with a vibe that’s both welcoming and effortlessly cool. The food is a celebration of authenticity and freshness. We started with the guacamole, served with warm, blue maiz tortillas straight off the comal — simple, but unforgettable. The tuna tartar with caviar was a surprising standout — delicate, flavorful, and unlike anything we’ve had before. And the steak tacos with tender, caramelized onions? Incredible. Each bite was perfectly balanced and deeply satisfying. The agave selection is beautifully curated, and the cocktails are a highlight on their own — each one tasting like a love letter to Mexican flavors and craftsmanship. If you’re into thoughtful, vibrant food that feels both familiar and innovative, Oxomoco is a must. We’d go out of our way again in a heartbeat.

This restaurant is Great! Two things- spicy salsa will catch up with you even if you're sure you're fine at first (I'm a weak, white boy from the Midwest, so even Mayo seems too spicy at times to me). 2. The bathroom is AMAZING! No really. Go. The service is Lovely! The dishes are great (it's NYC and good, so expect it will cost more). Recently they had some ventilation issue, so their menu has rapidly pared itself down. (Hence 4-stars on food, not 5- I really wanted to try their other offerings!) Regardless, look at these dishes!

Being my first time in New York City I was taken to a quaint little Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn. Now coming from Los Angeles where we have exceptional Mexican food all over the city. Try some outside of California is a bit of a treat. Oxomoco has some very good dishes on an elevated level. They use high quality ingredients for all there dishes lending to elevated taste. The fish tacos were great tender flaky fish with a nice not too spicy slaw on top. Chips and salsa that had multiple levels of heat you get five salsas to try. The crab tostada was nice a flavorful and the wagyu beef cheek were tender with a nice mole sauce. They also have a nice mix of tequila and mezcal drinks for you to choose from. The menu is small but has something for everyone. All the dishes we had were very delicious and the atmosphere was great. Indoor and patio dining is available. Oh make sure you make reservations so you don’t have to wait if you want inside. If you’re in Brooklyn swing by and give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Today, I visited Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos, with my family, excited to try their authentic Mexican tacos. While the food was indeed delicious, our experience was marred by a lengthy wait time and some oversights in service. After placing our order, we waited exactly 45 minutes for our food, which seemed unusual for a fast-food establishment. When I inquired about the delay, the staff mentioned they were busy, but we noticed that later arrivals were served before us. As the only Mexican family in the restaurant at the time, I couldn't help but feel a bit concerned about potential discrimination. Additionally, we had to retrieve our own drinks and clean our table before sitting down since they never did. While the staff was never rude, the service issues and wait time overshadowed our experience. However, the tacos were truly enjoyable, and I appreciate the restaurant's commitment to authentic flavors. Unfortunately, due to the inconsistencies in service, I don't plan to return. I hope the management takes our feedback constructively to improve the overall dining experience for all customers.

Taqueria Al Pastor is a vibrant spot on Wyckoff Avenue that's known for its traditional Mexican street food and modern interiors. The original Bushwick location continues to serve some of the best tacos in town, with their must-try Al Pastor featuring juicy pork and grilled pineapple. Other delicious options include Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, and Nopales, available in quesadilla, gringa, burrito, or volcan formats.
Taqueria Al Pastor delivers a dining experience that balances authentic Mexican flavors with quality execution. On my visit, I tried the Carne Asada Burrito, an Al Pastor Taco, a Carne Asada Tostada, and a Horchata. The Carne Asada Burrito was hearty and flavorful, with tender grilled beef marinated in citrus, garlic, and spices a classic northern Mexican preparation known as carne asada, or “grilled meat.” Wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with rice, beans, pico de gallo, and guacamole, it delivered both comfort and balance in every bite. The Al Pastor Taco stood out as a true highlight. Al pastor, which means “shepherd style,” blends Mexico’s street food culture with Lebanese influence, using spit roasted pork marinated in achiote, chilies, and pineapple. Served on a soft tortilla with onion, cilantro, and chunks of sweet pineapple, it was vibrant and layered, the sweetness of the fruit perfectly cutting through the rich spice of the meat. The Carne Asada Tostada brought another dimension to the beef, served on a crisp fried corn tortilla topped with beans, salsa, onions, and a creamy avocado sauce. The interplay of textures crunchy, creamy, smoky showed how Mexican cuisine thrives on contrast and freshness. To pair it all, the Horchata was smooth, cool, and lightly spiced with cinnamon and vanilla. This rice-based drink, a staple in Mexican dining, balanced the bold flavors of the food and provided a refreshing finish to the meal. Pricing is higher than your average taquería, but that’s reflective of the neighborhood and in this case, the flavors, portions, and quality make it worth it. Service was warm, attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Taqueria Al Pastor serves a slice of culinary history with every dish. From the smoky carne asada to the sweet-savory al pastor, it’s a spot that celebrates tradition with flavor that justifies the cost.

Tacos al pastor had a strange organ-y flavor and were severely underseasoned. Horchata was sickeningly sweet. Vibes pretty fun and staff was nice though.
Jonathan L — Google review
Pricey! But hit the spot. Carne asada was juicy and deliciously garlicky, with a generous scoop of guac on top. The real star was the gringas al pastor — I have had the taco Al pastor before and like it okay but the cheese takes it over the top. Super unctuous, perfect bite. Next time I’d just get the gringa, very filling

Ricos Tacos is a vibrant Mexican eatery located in Sunset Park, New York. This casual spot is known for serving up traditional-style tacos and other street eats, with the added convenience of delivery. While there's no shortage of excellent Mexican food in the area, Ricos Tacos stands out as a top contender. The menu features $3 tacos (try the al pastor), $2 taquitos, and mouthwatering $3.
This is our second time visiting Ricos Tacos. The food has outstanding flavor and the portions are generous. The service was great as well. The atmosphere outside is something the restaurant can't control but inside was clean and food was served quickly and hot!!!

Great place for a quick bite or drinks. Super cool surf theme/ambiance. Surf boards lockers. Most of the food are tacos, they’re flavorful small single corn tortilla fully loaded but a bit pricey ($6 each), just a few fillings to choose from. Staff is super welcoming and diligent. Dog friendly patio with lots of shade. Parking can be tricky as it’s a short street surrounded by houses and the railway. All in all it’s a cool place for a quick bite.

Tucked away in a shared space is a taco joint that is making really meaty and flavorful carnitas. The portion sizes are ginormous; I got two orders of tacos which ended up being four tacos. I barely finished and I was starving to begin with. I recommend only getting one order, or getting three orders for two people. I had the fried fish and the carnitas. The carnitas are so good, really tender and meaty. The flavor is really nice; I would probably not put any salsa. The toppings are plentiful as well. Get napkins; the grease from the carnitas will coat your hands like lotion. The fried fish was ok; I would have liked a bit bolder flavor in the fish itself. Then the fish would have stood out just like the carnitas did. Excellent, excellent place. Love the environment of the outdoor food stall area, really reminds me of Texas.

Came here on a whim after a day at the beach. We were kind of surprised how busy it was , all the tables occupied and only free room was standing. It took about 22 minutes for the food to be ready, after ordering by the QR code, on iPhone. Kinda bummed they don’t have any chicken tacos, so I had the vegetarian option instead. The two tacos had black beans, radish, guacamole, and sweet plantains. Good food. Service was good. But the vibe is 20 something and Brooklyn hipsters. Not my scene. And too crowded.

Good spot to grab food after a day at the beach. I went on a Wednesday evening around 5:30 and it was no line and not crowded. The fish tacos were really good. I have service a few stars because they didn’t have a hostess or any restaurant staff around. I wanted iced water because it was a hot day, but they only had a water fountain. Overall, the tacos were good & the location was a short walk from the beach

The bar prides itself on combining the best of both worlds - a vibrant taco truck and an inviting dive bar with an array of frozen cocktails perfect for sunny days.
These tacos are banging. I’m pregnant and need tacos multiple times a week and so far these have been a FAV! Perfectly seasoned- obvi could add salsa etc but they really didn’t need it. Guac was yum.

Carnitas Ramirez is a newly opened spot in NYC that offers a wide variety of taco toppings, with over 10 different options available.

The establishment boasts an authentic and local atmosphere, complete with a self-serve salsa bar and the option to add crunchy chicharron on top of your tacos.

Had the best experience here! Had heard such great things and was nervous it wouldn’t live up to the hype but it really did. Came at about 3pm on a Sunday, didn’t have to wait and was able to get a bench seat. There isn’t a lot of seating but the turnover is really quick because the food is so fast. Everything was delicious, I asked the staff to choose their favourites and there were no misses! Loved that you could add your own salsa & pickles - 10/10 experience.

Try these guys for the first time on a Sunday evening and there was no line. We got there right before they closed so we had fewer selections of what we could choose from but all three tacos were still amazing in mind blowing. Super Porky and fatty all the way throughout slightly salty. And the spices that they used to cook, the pork is divine. We did get a tongue taco a cheek taco and I forget the third. The complementary sauces at the salsa bar are really good as well. The price to value ratio is amazing. Each taco is about five bucks and it’s well worth the price. All the tortillas are made in house and you can see them literally cooking up the whole pig right behind you. These guys are definitely gonna be in the top 10 taco spots in NYC. If not top 5 ! AMAZING EXPERIENCE

My best friend and I have been eyeing this place for a minute. We appreciate it when nothing goes to waste. This restaurant does not disappoint. Fresh slow roasted meat with simple decor like you are in Mexico enjoying an ice cold beer on a scolding hot day. Seating is minimal and gets crowded fast. The spicy is really spicy. Not speaking as just a native New Yorker , but an Indian who puts chilies on everything. We got a mixture of lean to fatty tacos. Great experience. Not too costly either.

An excellent, amazing little taco shop. It’s a great continuation of the tacqueria in Greenpoint, with several amazing tacos, amazing salsas. I loved the chamorro and Costilla, but everything was excellent. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the Gordita, which was a bit stodgy, lots of cartilage, sticky. It’s nice with some salsa, and I imagine on a day when it’s a bit cooler it’s very hearty and comforting. I’d get it again, but the tacos are the star. Absolutely essential to get a beer and use some spicy salsa. And for the love of God do not be that person that strains all the avocado out of the mild salsa to eat - a customer in front of me did this and it should be a lifetime ban from all Mexican restaurants.

Tortilleria Nixtamal is a culinary gem that brings the authentic flavors of Mexico to New York City, thanks to its passionate owner, Fernando Ruiz. Inspired by his childhood experiences with tacos in Veracruz, he set out to prove that delicious Mexican food could thrive in NYC. The secret? Freshly made tortillas! At this bustling spot, they craft their own masa from corn that's soaked and ground on-site using the traditional nixtamal process.
The tortillas here are legit. Made from scratch and cost $2 a pound. And if you buy a whole or half chicken it comes with half a pound of tortillas and 2 sauces, green and ree. The green is some kind of avocado salsa and is so delicious!!!! Eating these tortillas reminds me of being in Mexico eating out. And if you catch them in time you can see them make the tortillas right there, definitely supporting this business!!!!

Still have really good, fresh tortilla for sale. $2/lb. They also have rotisserie chicken but no other food. I couldn't figure out if it's run by the same people as the old location but the machine was there... The woman working there said the other location had closed but that this location only has tortillas, roast chicken and beans for sale. She also didn't know if it would be more of a sit down place in the future. I was so excited thinking the old location was in a more convenient location to public transportation but it's not the same.

The vibrant and casual atmosphere makes it a New York staple where patrons can enjoy menu items like cotija and chili-covered corn, fish tacos, pork sandwiches, and chicken tacos.
This is one of the rare places that wasn't gentrified and keep the spirit of NY Soho of 1970-1980s. Tiny spot with a huge flavor and ambiance. Typical Cuban food at its perfection.

It’s small inside, but pretty cozy. They also offer outdoor seating if it gets too crowded. I had the Huevos con Chorizo with a glass of Agua de Jamaica, while my wife had the Breakfast Tacos and a glass of lemonade. Our food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Everything was made from scratch and cooked to order. The beverages really hit the spot, and based on the flavors, I’d say there are no powdered drinks served here.

The restaurant aims to recreate the taco shacks found along the Pacific Coast Highway, and it seems they have succeeded. Customers praise the California vibes and tasty food, particularly enjoying the guacamole served with all its ingredients on the side for customization. The drinks are also well-liked, although some find them too sweet.
Definitely recommend such a cute and delicious restaurant. Our server Anika was sweet & accommodating. Street corn and tacos are a must!

6/28/25 finally had time to get here for happy hour(every day 3-6pm). Me and D sat outside, good people watching. Good service. The happy hour drinks are good and the food is good too. Love the $5 burger! Guacamole is good and a big portion along with all the fixings for it. Street corn was good too. We had several margaritas. We will be back.

Let me tell you about Playa Betty’s- being someone from San Diego.. it’s the one place you can count on authentic Cali vibes. Anthi specifically was INCREDIBLE. She just brought the best energy and was so nice! I love this place!! (The spicy marg is also UNMATCHED)

Sharlene was excellent. I got a restaurant often and I hardly ever see the amount of service and attention to detail like I saw at your restaurant. She deserves a raise. I don’t think Reyes would do her justice. Just make her a manager because I think everybody at your restaurant should move and act like she does. She is well trained, and I appreciate her greatly

Really solid tacos. I was a bit worried that the Taco Dinner would be too much food, but two tacos left me wanting a bit more. My friend also said that this is one of the few places that she can get real Austin-style queso.

Taco restaurant
LOS MARISCOS is a bustling Mexican seafood joint located in Chelsea Market, inspired by mariscos spots in Baja and Tijuana. The entrance is somewhat hidden inside the market, adding to its charm. The casual counter-serve eatery offers a variety of seafood options, including fish tacos, spicy shrimp tacos, ceviche, and aguachile.
No wonder there was a long line when my husband and I got there because the food was delicious. I did like the fish tacos better than the shrimp though. The ceviche was amazing, at least for me. The wait was not bad at all.

Busy spot for casual Mexican seafood dishes. Loved the clams the most, super refreshing. The fish tacos were also great. The only thing I found just average were the oysters, which weren't bad but not very memorable. There's a decent amount of seating options inside, either at communal tables, the counter or standing up.

Stopped by Los Mariscos in Chelsea Market and really enjoyed it. We tried three different tacos — fish, shrimp, and enchilado — and all were tasty, but the enchilado was definitely the standout. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, and the portion sizes felt just right. The place has a casual, lively vibe that makes it fun to grab a quick meal while exploring the market. Overall, a solid spot for some quality seafood tacos in NYC.

Los Mariscos is an absolute gem! The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by a lively and authentic Mexican atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re right on the coast of Mexico. The seafood is incredibly fresh — especially the oysters, which were some of the best I’ve ever had. The seafood tacos were bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and made with care. If you love great Mexican food and a fun, welcoming vibe, Los Mariscos is a must-visit!

As a Mexican for me this a perfect place. It has everything great music, excellent food and perfect customer service. I’m not kidding. Last time I went there the manager personally took away my plates after I finished my food. He personally took care of every question I asked and was very professional. Cashier always on point fast and efficient. Best thing about this place is the tacos of course. I might be in love with them. Shrimp or fish they are 10/10 I celebrated my 24th birthday and ever since then this has been a special place to me in the city. In my opinion this is a top ten restaurant for me. I always visit them whenever I can. I recommend it a hundred percent. I’ll leave you some photos of my birthday.

My husband and I are OBSESSED with Los Mariscos. Like, I genuinely own the t-shirt. The food is so fresh and delicious with such kind and incredible staff. Griselda is always so warm and kind at the check out counter. Secret bonus tip, ask to try the shrimp consume, it is INCREDIBLE and a free way to start off your meal. The ceviche is my personal favorite, all types. Generally I get at least 3 (usually two fish and one shrimp.) While at the popular partner spot, Los Tacos I swear by the tacos, but for me, ceviche is where it’s at here. Drinks are spot on with fresh lime juice and appropriate portions. If you’re ever in Chelsea, check out this gem! I hope more locations open over time, but for now, this is a favorite weekly dinner spot I will continue to enjoy.

We had a fantastic experience at this spot! The shrimp and fish tacos were absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The real standout was the shrimp ceviche. We also appreciated the variety of hot sauces available at every table, which let us customize the heat level to our liking. Great food and great flavors. We always make sure to make a stop here when we are in town.

The seafood cocktail (Campechano) had very little seafood in it. I honestly thought I might have been served the simple shrimp cocktail by mistake. It was basically a tall glass of salsa with only a few shrimp, completely lacking clams, scallops, and octopus. They serve a peanut sauce and a few others that are extraordinary and one of a kind. 4 stars just for that. The service was great, and the atmosphere is vibrant. I would absolutely go back to try some other items on the menu.

Delicious Mexican spot, loved the pork Al pastor and all the sauces 😍 it was absolutely delicious, all the ingredients were fresh and the service was amazing! Even with all the tortillas and the generous portions, we (a table of 4) felt full (but not heavy and stuffed) after the meal. HIGHLY recommend

Overpriced and underwhelming, but this is one persons opinion. We ordered drinks and guacamole. The spicy margarita was spicy, but for $20+ is crazy and the chips for the guacamole lacked salt, so they were not a good compliment to the OK guacamole. It’s not a bad place to bring a date, but there was nothing special about this Mexican food spot. Judge for yourself.

I really wanted to like this place but it just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The flavors were a bit bland, and some dishes felt like they were missing that special touch. I had high hopes based on the reviews, but it seems like the hype didn't translate into the actual experience. The ambiance is nice, and the staff was attentive, but when it comes to the food, I was left wanting more. The prices are so expensive almost $30 for 2 pieces of tacos. We ordered guacamole as well the chips are stale and oily. I hope the management look into it and considering their market prices.

Atla in NoHo is a breath of fresh air in the NYC dining scene, offering a refined yet approachable take on modern Mexican cuisine. The space is minimalist and stylish, with lots of natural light and a laid-back, upscale vibe that feels perfect for anything from brunch with friends to a low-key date night. The food is where Atla truly shines. Dishes like the guacamole with pistachios and the corn esquites are thoughtful and flavorful, offering just enough of a twist to feel inventive without being gimmicky. The fish tacos are a must-order—light, crispy, and packed with fresh flavor. Cocktails are equally strong, especially the mezcal-based options, and the agua frescas are a refreshing non-alcoholic choice. Service is attentive but relaxed, in line with the overall atmosphere. Prices are a bit high for casual fare, but the quality of ingredients and the execution justify the cost for the most part. If you're looking for a modern, polished take on Mexican food in a chill yet chic environment, Atla is well worth a visit.

One unacceptable and unethical mistake in the professional restaurant industry can turn a five-star experience into a one-star review, even for a Michelin-guided restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious, the service from Omar was excellent, and the overall dining atmosphere was enjoyable. We ordered guacamole, mackerel aguachile, beef & onion tacos (the onions were barely noticeable), and fried fish steak (which was dry). The appetizers were flavorful and leaned toward the sour side. However, the tacos and fish fell short of our expectations. The spicy margarita and skin-contact wine selection were particularly refreshing. Our server, Omar, was patient, friendly, and professional, answering all my questions with care. However, while sitting at the bar, I witnessed another server, Many, using the same straw to taste two different cocktails before serving them to customers. He pressed one side of the straw with his finger, lifted it, drank from the other end, and then used the same straw to taste another drink. I immediately informed my server when Many brought the drinks to the customers. Omar later returned to tell me that Many claimed he had flipped the straw to the other side. To me, whether he flipped it or not, using the same straw on two different drinks is unethical in the restaurant industry. Moreover, he had been drinking himself, which raised concerns about his judgment. Both my friend and I also did not recall seeing him flip the straw. For the next half hour, he walked past me multiple times but avoided eye contact, further reinforcing my belief that he knew he had acted improperly. After Omar spoke to the manager, she came to talk to us. However, instead of being honest and addressing the issue directly with the customers who drank the cocktails, they simply offered us a dessert. This felt more like an attempt to dissuade us from writing a review rather than a genuine effort to resolve the situation.

My friend and I visited on Saturday, July 5th. We tried the Brussel sprout and suadero tacos, al pastor gringa, birria, and the guacamole. For drinks we had the mangonada, margaritas, and an horchata. The stand out items for me were the Brussels sprout tacos, Al pastor gringa, and the guacamole. All of the other items were good but not memorable. The service was acceptable. There was a hiccup where the server charged us for another tables check. There isn’t a way to contact the restaurant by phone. Their automated message states you can contact them by text but that goes unanswered. I was able to resolve the matter by email but did have to spend some time on the phone with my credit card company due to me paying with Apple Pay and the restaurant not being able to find my transaction even after giving the exact amount I was charged.

Didn’t think vegan food can be this good! We didn’t know that this was a 100% plant-based restaurant. But we gave it a try anyway. And it didn’t disappoint! In fact we were quite satisfied. We ordered the watermelon starter, then kale bowl, burrito bowl, and coconut dessert, all of which were really good! For the price though we expected it to be a bit more. But it’s not a dealbreaker. We enjoyed every single bite of it. The burrito bowl, goodness, they had some vegan steak in it and it was so good I couldn’t tell if it wasn’t made with meat. The texture was so real! We were sitting in the corner and it was nice as we could see the whole place. Weather was nice so some people sat outside. Give it a try. Oh, and the music was a bit loud. But we like quiet places in general. So that’s that.

The best vegan food I’ve had in a long, long time. This place packs so much flavor and care into every dish. Rather than allowing meat substitutes to carry the dishes, they have so many wonderful, delicious elements such as their salsas, coco queso, and pickled vegetables. Fast service and a lovely vibe inside. I took my non-vegan boyfriend here and he adored it as well!

We visited during our trip to nyc in June 2024, and it was so good all around that we had to make another visit before our flight home. Kevin, who was looking after us on both of our visits, was extremely friendly and likeable. The food itself is incredibly tasty, the flavours are delightful and it is always a bonus to see the food being made freshly in front of you in the restraunts open view kitchen. We had the Tingo De Pollo and Brisket versions of the tacos and quesadilla. Both of these dishes were fantastic. The food is reasonably priced for New York City standards, especially when considering the quality, flavour, and freshness of the food. Another added bonus is the Mexican Coca-Cola that they have in store, which is a treat after drinking the not so flavorful American Coca-Cola for a two week trip

On many occasions I had walked by this Mexican restaurant on my way to other bars and restaurants. I had judged the book by its cover and how wrong I was to do that. On this occasion I decided to disregard the outside and check out what was inside. What I found was an attractive interior with such friendly and knowledgeable servers. I also heard my favorite music playing, salsa music from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I was smiling and moving my feet when the classic margarita that I ordered arrived. It was so delicious that I ended up ordering another. For food it was recommended that I try the brisket taco. It was a great choice since the meat was tender and juicy. I happily paired it with the sweet platanos, a really good combination. For dessert, the coconut flan was recommended and it was light and tasty. As I was about to leave merengue music started playing and I decided that whenever I'm near this place I will drop in even if it's just for a drink.

The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a snob server, " Do you have a reservation?" " No we don't, do we need to?" -" No, you can sit here." The entire restaurant had 4 people in it. I had to ask for a menu as well. We were given a bottle with water and glasses with ice. The bottle had mold around the stopper and was dirty. We had already ordered food when I noticed or we would have left. We got our food and it was okay. The portions were extremely small for the price. Once we were done, we had to finally ask for our check after we were ignored the entire time. Once we got our check she stood over us, waiting for what I would assume was what we were tipping.. very awkward, considering she was a sub-par waitress. I would suggest skipping this place on your trip. Some hole in the wall places aren't worth it.

I don’t ever get frozen margaritas but here I did. Right out of the machine at the front of the bar. It must have been made with fresh lime juice which married perfectly texture of the slush. I would have supplemented with a shot of tequila but we were starting a big night so I held back. The spicy salt rim was the perfect addition. I’m definitely going back for more. BTW it’s the perfect place to wait for a table at Untable across the street :)

This cool little dive just blocks from the over-hyped restaurant down the street is awesome. Between the local beers and creative menu, with little to no wait times during the week, it was the perfect hidden gem for my wife and I. We had a late lunch here after waiting to get on the waitlist for "that other place." The server didn't check on us much, but was super cool. Had to flag him down to place our order, all good (I hear it's like that in Europe, so maybe it's just a NYC thing). OH MAN, try the Birria pizza, it's phenomenal (especially with the burnt cheese on the edges, so good)! I definitely recommend Bar Bruno for a late lunch, casual drinks, or to try something new and creative.

A few weeks ago, I visited Bar Bruno, a charming Mexican Bistro that knows how to play with flavors. With each bite, I found myself already plotting my next visit. Bar Bruno is the perfect neighborhood spot and a MUST-VISIT. While I won't wax poetic about the decor, the ambiance cradles you in its warm embrace. For an after-work cocktail, an impromptu date night, or simply a delightful meal—Bar Bruno is a beautiful option. Oh, and did I mention they serve brunch? The staff embodies warmth, extending a welcome that feels like a hug in the form of impeccable service—the food dances on your palate, a perfect companion to your choice of libation. On my first visit, I indulged in a taco trio featuring steak, fish, and shrimp, a true palate pleaser. This time around, we explored their dinner menu. We initiated the feast with Guacamole and Plantains, then ventured onto the Chopped Cheese Wraps, Burger Tacos, and Quinoa Veggie Burgers. For the grand finale—we ended on a sweet note with the Flan and Dessert Nachos. Guacamole is not my usual pick, but the pumpkin seeds made it a flavorful and adventurous choice. The Plantains was the perfect harmony of sweet and savory, transcending a mere appetizer to become the ultimate side dish. The Chopped Cheese Wrap deserves a standing ovation. A mouthwatering blend of pepper jack cheese and onions—makes it an absolute must-order. The Quinoa Veggie Burger, a vegetarian delight, tasted so good that I momentarily forgot it was meatless. But the crown jewel of the evening? The Burger Tacos—imagine the perfect burger and a delightful taco having a culinary love affair. And guess what? The French fries are in the tacos. Genius. And the dessert? The Flan and Dessert Nachos brought our memorable meal to a sweet conclusion. While dinner was an absolute delight, I'd gladly return for the margaritas. These concoctions are in a league of their own, perfectly balanced with a burst of flavor that avoids the pitfall of excessive sweetness. Passion Fruit and Strawberry were our picks, and they left us craving more. This visit to Bar Bruno was nothing short of a wonderful, unforgettable experience, and I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit with their tempting menu.

I bought takeout from them in the form of a steak platter.... and let me tell you something - they're giving you steak for real. Their Grilled Pat LaFrieda Skirt Steak is incredibly delicious and generously served. If I were to take a guess, I'd assume it was at least 8 ounces. I was not able to finish the thing. I just put the rest in the fridge and I'm gonna fry some plantains and have the rest of it tonight. I'm kind of in disbelief, because I've been eating grilled steak since I was 16 and I've never enjoyed one this much. It is almost as if they made this entrée with the expectation to exceed mine. They've certainly made me happy; I am wholly satisfied. Whomever is reading this, go ahead and order that steak my friend. It's going to put you on your ass.

Bar Bruno is one of those spots you almost don’t want to tell people about because it really feels like a hidden gem. The tacos are seriously some of the best I’ve had in the city. They are super flavorful and fresh without being overdone. The vibe is laid-back and fun, with great old-school music playing in the background that makes you want to hang around a little longer.

The food is good, but shamefully overpriced. The add-ons quickly cause a burrito to cost more than $25. There's an extra charge for everything. However, the food is good so we keep coming back.

Delicious food, had al pastor tacos, white mole, and vegetable enchiladas. Really flavorful bites of food. As a Korean the white mole was a bit difficult for me to wrap my head around, since we make a dish similar to this but with totally different flavor. The horchata was fresh made (I don’t know how that is possible, but it was good), and limonata great as well. I came after watching Taco Chronicles on Netflix. The famed vegan squash flower tacos were not yet available as it is seasonal and they will appear roughly end of June through September. Can’t wait to come back and try those. Not the most modern dining area, very local feel which was appropriate of course, but I do wish a bit more attention was paid to interior, but like I said, great food and great service. Well worth checking out!

Fantastic choice of food available. I went for some tacos and stayed for plenty of margaritas. The service can be a little slow. But the quality of food is worth waiting for. The Tripa tacos were delicious. Great quality, great price, no need to think twice, Tacos Matamoros is worth a visit at this price.

After always eating tacos from the trucks, decided to try restaurant taco. Tacos were good but I guess our expectations were too high. Honestly the taco trucks on 5th ave might have the edge. Nachos were really good, especially the green sauce, a real good kick.

First time visiting. Glad for the local recommendation. Loved the atmosphere - immediately transported to a different vibe when you enter thru the doors. We got the pork chop platter, tacos and torta. The family cleaned their plates. Can’t wait to try the ceviche next time and other items on the menu. Friendly and kind staff - mainly spoke Spanish but will be able to accommodate basic service in English. We knew enough to communicate in Spanish.

Hidden gem in Sunset Park Brooklyn! What a great surprise. The staff was on point and the food and drinks came out right away. They do not offer complimentary chips a salsa, but the portions of food do make up for it. The prices are affordable and well worth it!

I had the rudest cashier when I went to pick up my order. The girl in all black with the pony tail and glasses who was on shift June 1st at 8:00 PM was unprofessional. I told her I got a text and I came to pick up my order. She said it wasn’t ready so I asked why I got the text (not to rush her , but to understand how much longer I’ll have to wait). She immediately waves me away and begins to ignore me. She talks to all the customers around me but acts like I don’t exist. I’m a regular and she’s always so disrespectful and rude. She didn’t bother to offer anywhere for me the wait, she didn’t talk to the kitchen once to ask why it was taking longer than expected, she simply CHOSE not to do her job. On top of that, she purposely pretends to not speak English to ignore you and pretends she can’t help you but I heard her speak perfect English to her co workers. She also is the one who answers phone calls for deliveries and she’s equally as nasty over the phone.

Taqueria Coatzingo is a long-standing Mexican restaurant located in Jackson Heights, known for its extensive menu featuring classic dishes like tacos. The restaurant has recently undergone a refresh while maintaining its authentic and charming atmosphere. It's a family-owned establishment that takes pride in its Pueblan roots, with the village name prominently displayed on the awning.
We had a great meal here. Delicious chips and guac to start, and some very tasty beef enchiladas with great hot sauce, and micheladas. My friend got the el pastor tacos and was raving about them too, but my portion was so generous I had no room to try hers. Staff were friendly and attentive and we would definitely go again.

There are a handful of restaurants that are a must stop for me whenever I’m back in Queens and this place is heavily on my rotation. I’ve been coming to this spot with my dad since I was in middle school(now late 20’s), this place has a very special place in my heart. Everything is pretty homey, you can’t go wrong with most dishes. My dish here is four carne asada tacos but recently I’ve switched over to their Birria; their consume is so rich. I love this place, there’s many Mexican restaurants near by but this place is the best in my opinion!

Coatzingo Taquería is one of those places that truly makes a difference when you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in New York. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere immediately transports you to Mexico. The entire decoration is fully Mexican, filled with details that make you feel as if you were eating tacos at a traditional market. That authenticity sets it apart and makes the whole experience so much more special than just going to a regular taco spot. The food is outstanding. I tried several tacos, and without a doubt, the tripe taco was the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, with amazing flavor and just the right texture. The al pastor tacos are also delicious, with a truly authentic taste that’s hard to find outside of Mexico. The guacamole has excellent flavor, fresh and well-prepared, although I did find the portion quite small compared to the $10 price. Still, I have to admit the taste itself was really good. The service is another highlight. The person who took care of my table was attentive, always checking in and making great recommendations to make sure I had a good experience from start to finish. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference and is definitely appreciated. If there’s one thing I would add, it would be Mexican music playing in the background. The place already has the authentic décor and amazing food, and adding traditional music would complete the atmosphere and make it feel 100% like being in Mexico. Overall, Coatzingo Taquería is definitely a place I recommend if you’re in New York and want to enjoy real tacos. The quality of the food, the unique Mexican atmosphere, and the good service make it worth the visit. If you’re looking for a spot that takes you to Mexico with every bite, this is the place to go

First time here, got to try the carne asada tacos and carnitas chalupas, they were great! Juicy and tender. Our only issue was when we arrived there wasn’t any music playing for a while and out of nowhere loud music started playing which threw us off as we were sitting by a speaker. Will probably do take out moving forward because these tacos are definitely seeing me again.

I’ve been eating at this restaurant since 2007 and have tried many of the menu items throughout the years. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in NY. I’ve tried several different Mexican restaurants and food trucks, and so far, this is the most authentic and delicious in flavor that I’ve experienced in New York. It reminds me of the hole-in-the-wall restaurants I’ve eaten at in Puerto Vallarta. There are other Mexican spots in the area that taste authentic, but the quality and flavor don’t compare to this restaurant. The food here is very flavorful and excellent in quality! The way they season their dishes is just so good. My favorite is the quesadillas mixtas with rice and frijoles (so creamy and delicious here). I also really like their horchatas, jugo de tamarindo, and their piña coladas—the perfect balance of sweetness and alcohol. My favorite piña coladas on Roosevelt Ave come from this place 🙌🏽. The consistency is spot on: not too watery, not too thick. They also serve delicious nachos, salsa, guac, burritos, fajitas—you name it. Their complimentary salsa is my absolute favorite! It’s homemade, a little sweet, a little spicy, and absolutely delicious. I love this place so much that I’ve been a loyal customer for nearly 20 years.

This spot really surprised me! I thought it came across a bit divey, a bit dark. I had a really great drink of their cocktail menu, switched to a margarita that I didn't like as much, and ordered tacos. The bartender explained the top three on the menu (chicken, fish, and something else) were the crowd-friendly ones and the really fun ones were at the bottom of the list. I went safe and it was fine, but his words echoed in my mind. You only live once so I ordered the beef tongue and the beef head or whatever it's called. The tongue was good, I would eat it again, but the beef head was *incredible*, so spicy, so good! A must-eat-again taco

Sorry, but not sorry. I came here because many reviews said you could watch the Lakers games, and the place is full of Lakers and Dodgers decorations, so it looked like the perfect spot. I ordered a beer and asked if they were showing the game. They said yes and told me they would put it on. In the end, they didn’t have the channels to broadcast it. So if you’re coming here hoping to watch the Lakers, this is not the place. Nothing against the staff, but I came here specifically for the game and ended up missing it. Really disappointing.

Cozy atmosphere. Adam was our bartender, attentive, thorough and kind. We ordered two rounds of watermelon and pineapple margaritas. Both created to perfection!

I will absolutely return to experience more of the menu. Excellent experience!

Best sit down Mexican restaurant I've been to in Manhattan! Love their tortas as they are full of flavor and quite large.

They do charge extra if you use a credit card.

Mexican restaurant
Alta Calidad, which means "high quality" in Spanish, is a vibrant restaurant located in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. Chef Akhtar Nawab curates an innovative menu featuring Mexican small plates and shareable main dishes such as charred steak tacos, pumpkin blossom quesadillas, and Mexican roti with chorizo verde and black beans. The restaurant offers an energetic setting with communal seating and an outdoor patio for al fresco dining.
We had a really good meal at this Mexican restaurant. We ordered chicken tacos, shrimp tacos, and a margarita, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The sauce on the tacos was absolutely delicious, adding the perfect touch to each bite. The presentation was neat, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-organized. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we especially enjoyed the music playing in the background, which added to the experience. If you’re looking for tasty food, a nice ambiance, and good music, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Taste-wise, the food was delicious, and the drinks were very good. The service was amazing, and I really like the location of this place. However, the portion sizes were quite small. If you’re coming here just to have a drink and a light bite, it’s perfect. But if you’re arriving hungry and expecting a full meal, even two plates might not be enough to fill you up.

I visited Alta Calidad while on the hunt for a Mexican spot during NY Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Snapper Tostaditas, Carne Asada, and Churros. My favorite of the bunch was the Carne Asada. I would order that again if I returned. The service was great. The waitress answered any questions we had and the drinks came out fast. This was great value for a price of $45 (because it was during restaurant week). The ambiance was great, with natural lighting and good music. I would recommend this place to someone looking for slightly upscale Mexican food.

Honestly some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in NYC. Delicious flavors, fresh ingredients, and good portions. We had the chips and guacamole + salsa to share. Wow so delicious. They put tajin on the chips for that extra flavor. Also ordered the shrimp tacos - amazing. Fresh, flavorful, and not doing too much while still be so delicious. And the torta - wow. So so so delicious. Definitely recommended and will be back again.

Lovely spot for weekend brunch! Showed up around when they opened at 11am without a reservation and sat outside right away. A reservation in general would probably be recommended though. The chilaquiles have such depth of flavor with the two salsas, and the huevos rancheros were also pretty flavorful (though we preferred the chilaquiles if we had to pick). Solid portion sizes, left very full. We also split a ginger mocktail that was quite refreshing. Forget the name but recommend. Cool spot. Will be back to try their tacos.

⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 – Decent flavor, but tiny portions and overpriced I ordered one serving (which only comes with two very small tacos). The menu listed them at $19, but I was charged $20 (slight discrepancy typo or last minute adjustment? 😅). The meat was a bit tough and charred, nothing exceptional for the price. That said, the restaurant itself is stylish and clean (your typical Instagram-worthy spot). Note: The guacamole shown in photos is a $5 side (only the lime is free, lol). Bottom line: If you’re actually hungry, you’ll need two orders ($40), which feels excessive for tacos that don’t stand out. As someone familiar with authentic Latin flavors, I’ve had far better at lower prices. This might impress tourists, but it didn’t win me over.

Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine is a cozy and authentic restaurant that brings the flavors and traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico to its patrons. The rustic decor and earthy ambiance transport diners to the vibrant markets and rugged landscapes of Oaxaca. The menu features bold flavors and traditional ingredients, offering an extensive collection of tequila and artisanal mezcal to complement the authentic dishes.
Amazing staff and service! Came here with a group of six on a Saturday. The chips and salsa are amazing, and everything I tried tasted so good especially the desserts. It was super loud in the restaurant so don’t expect to have easy conversation at peak dinner time. I ordered 3 different tacos and one of them was incorrect when it arrived, but that’s likely due to the noise.

Came today for lunch for the first time, it was also their 3rd anniversary. They had a Mariachi band and tequila tasting to celebrate. We had an excellent meal, drinks were buy one get one free until 4pm, and service was outstanding. Queso fundido (not pictured), shrimp, pollo asado, and carne asada tacos, enchiladas campenchana, and tres leches for dessert. Everything was delicious!!

This place has great Mexican food! Even the salsa they start you with had great flavor! We started with the Ruta Nachos for our appetizer, and we loved them! They were the best nachos we ever had! It was packed with black beans, jalapeños, chihuahua cheese, and queso fresco! They did not skimp at all! For dinner we had the steak enchiladas, mixed seafood enchiladas, and chicken quesadillas. The best out the three was the steak enchiladas. My sister loved them, and gives this place 5 stars! I had the mixed seafood enchiladas topped with a habanero cream sauce. I thought it was very good, but I thought the habanero sauce could have more flavor. My husband had the chicken quesadillas. The chicken in it was well seasoned and tasted excellent! It was a little different than quesadillas we had at other Mexican places because it had more meat than cheese. We had the platanos for a side and that was DELICIOUS! We will definitely be back. I recommend Ruta Oaxaca in Astoria!

Overall, it was a decent spot. Service was okay—nothing to rave about, but not bad either. The shrimp flautas and esquites were definitely the stars of the night—super tasty and well done. Unfortunately, the tacos didn’t quite live up to the hype; they were slightly underwhelming flavor-wise. BUT — and this is a big but — we asked for their hot sauce when we realized the tacos needed a little help, and wow. That sauce was a total saving grace — spicy, flavorful, and brought everything to life. We might go back just for that hot sauce alone, haha.

We pass by this place often and finally gave it a try. Did not disappoint! Their guacamole is OUTSTANDING! Chunky guac with tons of veggies - it was so so tasty. Been dreaming about it since. Food: Really delicious. The standout was the guacamole and chips. The mains were good and would definitely get again, but neither had a big wow factor (at least not like the guac had). The tacos were good, larger than expected, but slightly dry. The quesadillas were smaller than expected but very tasty. It also came with rice and beans. Drinks: Got the berry margarita and was tasty. Service: Pretty good. Our waiter was attentive and refilled our waters often. Our order was taken within reasonable time and food wait wasn’t noticeably long. Ambiance: Darker setting, good for dates. Music was a bit loud but overall pretty good place!

It was a good experience to finally visit the first Ruta Oaxaca since I've visited all, but my favorite is still the one of all would be the location in Patchogue because of the staff. The food was the same authenticity at all locations. The chips and salsa were okay, but the Patchogue roasted tomato option is top tier. If you are going to drive, it will be difficult. It is best to use Uber or take the train...it is a busy restaurant filled location. Sorry for not having images of the food. It was good and I wanted to dig in but if you check my other reviews, you dish presentation are the same.

Dry tacos, with low quality meat. Would not recommend, there are way better places nearby.

Do not be fooled by the small size of this restaurant. It's actually one of the best legitimate Mexican taco places located in Staten Island. If you want your traditional tacos, this is the place to go! They are fresh and served with an amazing green or red salsa that will leave you asking for more. My favorite tacos are the chicken and "lengua" tacos with cacti (also known as the tacos Aztecas). This restaurant also serves tortas, entrees, and quesadillas, in case you're not in the mood for the tasty tacos. Ps- Do NOT forget to bring cash, unfortunately this small restaurant does not accept debit or credit cards so the owners do ask for you to bring money in hand. But do not fret if you forget because there is an ATM machine located inside.

im bias because i like mexican food. this is one of the few joints I normally order from. They hardly speak english so you know they are legit. tacos have gotten really expensive throughout the years, but they make the best green sauce in my opinion.

I reached out to the restaurant and was basically told that they wrapped the consomme three times so that it does not leak, it was only wrapped one time, and that It’s the fault of the carrier because they were on a bike and could’ve been speeding; because he was previously a courier and drinks with spill when he would speed over bumps, and that’s what happened. won’t be ordering again.

Best birria tacos out there. Amazing consome. Two tacos each and we split a (large?) consome. Reasonably priced - I can’t imagine much else in the area is as affordable. Took about 20 mins after ordering, but we didn’t mind. The guys working the line were putting in overtime. Take out orders continuously pumped out to a never ending revolving door of doordashers. Pretty loud and chaotic but that was part of the fun of it. A few small tables and a small bar-style counter to sit at. Looked like a small market in the store as well. 10/10

Tacos El Bronco is a must-visit food truck in Brooklyn, located conveniently just a few blocks away from Maguey. Their al pastor tacos are highly recommended and are considered the specialty of the house. What sets Tacos El Bronco apart is their attention to detail, particularly in the quality of their tortillas. The flavors of their tacos are described as authentic and reminiscent of those found in Mexico.
I always get at least 6 tacos each time. It’s good for the price, the flavor is good too. It would be even better if they can do a mix of the steak and the beef tongue!!! Every time I bring it home, the steak becomes a little dry so I like to do a mix with the beef tongue. But if you eat it on the spot it’s perfect.

We visited the location that only sells regular food without seafood The taco you want will not disappoint you and personally I liked the horchata water quite a bit although the guava water was not bad. A delicious flavor, it feels like you are eating tacos in Mexico.Definitely if I go to the city again I have to go back and buy those delicious tacos The service left a lot to be desired, perhaps because we arrived 10 minutes before they opened and the person who was organizing outside was in a bad mood.I understand that it is tiring to work under pressure and in the heat, however I should have a better attitude.I think that in the food business, attention does matter and the guy who serves the truth seemed even annoyed.Although I have to say that this does not discourage me since the taste is worth putting up with the bad face.If you pass through the city I 100% recommend this place so you can try the tacos, very 😋

I enjoyed the tacos I had, but they were a bit small for app. $3. I'm used to having pineapple in my Al Pastor, but not sure if I tasted any in the one I had. I think one of my favorites was the Chorizo. The cucumbers on top was interesting and enjoyed the onion they included with each order.

We stopped in for a quick bite and I was glad I did. This was by far the best Tacos I have ever eaten in my life. My daughter had the quesadillas and said they were the best! The staff were fun and friendly and welcomed us. People were also friendly there. Overall, I love this place and wish I had it in my neighborhood! The price was good and the food was great! Thank you for all you do - it is appreciated!

Tacombi is a vibrant Mexican taqueria chain that started on the beaches of the Yucatán in 2006. Known for its authentic tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and refreshing drinks like watermelon juice and piña coladas, Tacombi offers a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Their menu highlights include tacos al pastor, baja crispy fish tacos, and corn esquites. The tortillas are made fresh daily, preserving the traditional flavors of Mexico. Tacombi has several locations in New York City, including spots in Nolita, Flatiron, and the Financial District. Each location maintains the same commitment to quality and authenticity, with friendly service and a casual dining experience.

The whole place feels like a retro Mexican beach cantina: bright colors, hand-painted signs, green bottles, and super photogenic corners everywhere. The fried fish taco was actually pretty good — crispy shell, fresh toppings, and a nice tangy sauce. The other tacos were just okay; a bit dry and under-seasoned for me. Come here if you’re into the vibe. Worth it for some cute pics, a refreshing fish taco, and an easy summer lunch.

Flashy decor can't save average food. Tacombi offers visually appealing Mexican decor but fails to deliver on food quality. The pastor and asada tacos had dry, lackluster meat and questionable corn tortillas. Both the esquites (small with merely acceptable flavor) and orchata were unremarkable. While the bathroom was clean with necessary supplies, it's poor lighting and unfinished construction gave an unsettling atmosphere. Overall, tacombi might satisfy non Mexican palates but falls short on quality. All style, little substance.

Stumbled upon this spot while walking down Bleecker Street. Portion sizes were great for us — just right for sampling a variety of dishes. There seemed to be a lot of hesitation when we asked if items could be made a bit spicier.

Food was amazing. It's a little expensive, but paying to get that flavor is definitely worth it. Only downside is it takes a little long for food to be out, and I ordered a quesadilla when the kitchen just had gotten a really big order so they told me it would take even longer. Since I didn't have time, I just told them a refund was okay, and they supposedly refunded me but i never got the money back. So everything was amazing except for that. However, I will be back with friends soon!

Great place for Taco Tuesday! I travel to Mexico about once a year and this place felt very authentic. The corn esquites is the best I’ve ever had and I would come back just for the esquites alone. The guacamole was fresh tasting, but the chips leaved a little something to be desired. I also tried the beef birria taco and the Sinaloa shrimp taco, which was served with a salsa that almost set my mouth on fire - watch out! I enjoyed the agua de sandia and my friend commented that she liked the margarita. I look forward to returning. Tip: make a reservation in advance

Event time I'm in the city, Taqueria Diana is a necessary stop. The restaurant cozy, with a great neighborhood vibe and extremely reasonable prices. I have yet to have a dish I didn't like, and their margaritas are fantastic. If you like salsa, theirs is house made. The roja it's a little fruity with a nice kick of great. The guacamole doesn't disappoint, and the elote is fire (ask for it off the cob). My favorite tacos are the carnitas and al pastor, but if you don't eat pork, the chicken and beef options are also delicious. If you are hungry, go for one of their plates. Last night I tried the roast chicken for the first time and I'm not sure I'll need to eat at all today, it was a MEAL.

But i was there to sit at the bar anyway, which was like 4 seats lol. Ordered a Strawberry Margaritas it was really good, not too sour,taste the alcohol but it was just a bit sweet. It was good enough for me to order another and it wasnt as sweet, which was nice lol. Service was attentive and staff was available.

The owners, Emon Ullah, Iqbal Ahmed, and Raymundo Garcia, have created a halal birria shop that offers an incredible culinary experience. The slow-cooked birria is bursting with aromatic spices and tender meat that melts in your mouth.
Amazing flavours, 10/10 couldn’t fault a thing. Every dish we ordered tasted amazing and the flavours were authentic and tasty. The consume itself was so delicious, I could’ve eaten it like soup by itself. The food was affordable and we spent about $45 between two people and were stuffed at the end of it. We got a mix of chicken and beef and enjoyed both equally. This halal Mexican food really lives upto the hype and its reputation.

We visited a small, cozy shop specializing in halal Mexican food, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. We ordered the beef birria tacos with cheese, the accompanying consomé, and a chicken tostada. Every dish was bursting with bold, authentic flavors that left a lasting impression. The beef birria tacos were especially outstanding-tender, juicy meat perfectly balanced with melted cheese, all wrapped in a crispy, golden tortilla. The chicken tostada was another highlight, offering a fresh, crunchy bite topped with savory, well-seasoned chicken and vibrant toppings. While the consomé was flavorful and rich, it didn’t quite stand out as much as the tacos and tostada, but still added a nice touch to the meal. Service was quick and efficient, and although the shop is small, with a mix of standing counters and limited seating, the vibe was warm and inviting. It’s the kind of spot where the focus is clearly on quality food made with care. Overall, if you’re craving Mexican cuisine and looking for halal options, this place does a fantastic job. It’s a hidden gem that delivers on both taste and atmosphere.

The food is good but it ain’t that good. Over priced and terrible service. They’re stingy with limes and giving seasoning & the portions (see photos for examples). The birria trucks are a better taste wise and usually bigger. Plus homeless people are constantly walking in asking for money (at least 2 came in the span of 15 mins). Taste was fine and cleanliness was fine but the rest of the short comings don’t make it worth it.

Upon a late night arrival, my siblings and I were uncertain regarding the authenticity of their online fame. We were welcomed with an underwhelming ambiance. The joint was deserted, except for two couples and a lonely customer. Knowing that in New York, the city where nobody sleeps, no gem is ever left without a line. Regardless of this unexpected scene, we put aside our dignity and dove into this Latino experience. The cashier, a welcoming presence, suggested their best sellers. Their famous beef birria tacos and sliders. The wait was short enough to be overlooked, but long enough to leave us unimpressed. Once our number was called upon and our fresh steaming platters presented to us, we were aesthetically pleased. When the time came to activate our tastebuds, they were incinerated. The scorching hot tacos burned through the flavor of the spices, but once they cooled down we realized that these WERE just any birria tacos. The taste was somewhat mediocre for the exorbitant price of 5$ a tacos. On the other hand, the soft pillowy bread of the sliders invited us into a warm soothing state of mind. Overall, what stuck to us were the small portions, the average taste and very minimal seating. It’s halal tho!

I've come to this store many times and usually get the loaded fries. It's Manhattan so I'm expecting high price for small portion size and I'm a fan of the flavor.. However.. today I got the burrito and a small consome, and this must be the disappointment girls feel when they see what they're working with. Incredibly small burrito portion look like a kids meal, The condiment/spice cup is there for reference. Can probably eat the whole burrito in 5 bites. The consome also has NO meat in it, it's just like a watery soup with nothing in it. Very disappointing portion sizes. Please do better.

Very cool, underground pregame spot. Spicy cucumber marg was nice. Mez cal pina colada was cool (a bit odd). The Al Pastor tacos are really good (just spicy!). I actually really liked the cheeseburger taco. The chips & guac is super mid. Wouldn’t wonder again. Also, not enough guac for the chips :/ Overall, really like this place. First come first serve. Not fancy. But $4 late night tacos! Decently priced drinks!

Came here for a drink Saturday afternoon. This place definitely has a vibe. Cool mural on the wall and even on the ceiling. You order everything from the bar and seat yourself. It does get loud when it’s busy and when people raised their voice. They have a great selection of draft beer, draft cider and draft wine. The price are really reasonable.

Solid spot. Good prices. Busy on a summer weekend so just hang around until you can steal someone’s table outside. The marg was a bit watery but good. Hit the spot enough. The nachos are actually exactly what you’d expect in a standard, satisfying plate of nachos and they’re big. Perfect for sharing with 2-4 people. Love that they have a breakfast burrito at night. Great spot to grab a drink before going out or meet friends. Super lively area, obviously.

Vibrant and fun atmosphere with a good selection of beers and tacos. It's perfect for the location right by the park.

Atmosphere - I was going to a event near by and was looking for a nice place to grab a quick drink. The night I arrived - they were doing a movie night and were slightly reluctant to me sitting outside as people would sit there in an hour. However I walked for just a quick drink and the staff was super sweet and helpful. They had me sat quickly. This was the best part of my visit. Sadly after this it kinda felt downhill. The customer service was amazing. Food and drink - I ordered a sour and it was like 14 dollars. I can’t remember the exact amount so don’t quote but me it came in the smallest cup I’ve ever seen. I was shocked. I just wanted a real drink. Staff told me that it’s because people get shocked now how expensive the big one is. I would have appreciated a disclaimer. I just wanted a reasonable price beer. The price shocked me. The quac and chips were good. And the taco was fine. Because of the drink issue alone I will Never go back

I recently hosted my goodbye party at Parklife, and from start to finish the experience was absolutely exceptional. From my first communication, the team was incredibly responsive and transparent, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, I had the chance to meet the manager, the owner, and one of the servers, and every single person I interacted with was warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable. Their attentiveness and care created such a welcoming atmosphere that my guests and I felt right at home. The space itself was perfect — vibrant, comfortable, and easily the best venue of all the ones I looked into. Parklife truly went above and beyond, and it was everything I could have hoped for in a sendoff celebration. I can’t recommend them highly enough — Parklife is by far the best outdoor venue in Park Slope/Gowanus an event.

The best thing about this place is the staff and the atmosphere.. Who doesn't want to eat dinner in a park? I wish the food were better. The menu seems to be some sort of Persian Mexican mashup lacking the spicing and flavor of either country. The chicharron were limp. They definitely could have used a reheating before serving to get them crisp again. The guacamole was passable and the chips were good. I thought the tacos were dull. The Frito pie would have been better had it actually been a Frito pie instead of a fancified version. We had the chicken fried steak tlacoyo. It sounded more interesting than it actually turned out to be and the meat was tender. This seemed like a good spot to be young, drink with your friends and not really care too much about the food! Definitely more of a scene than a dining experience.

Don Pepe Tortas Y Jugos is a popular spot known for its filling tortas that range from $7 to $8. The Especial DF, a hefty sandwich with steak, salted beef, spicy pork, and Oaxacan cheese, is a standout item. Despite being mild in spice, it's recommended to add some spicy peppers for an extra kick. The menu also includes delicious smoothies and traditional Mexican food like chicken empanadas.
This was my first time at Don Pepe Tortas Y Jugos, and I can say with total confidence—it will not be my last. I’m already planning my return, with the goal of trying every single item on the menu. That’s how good it is. The standout for me? Tacos Árabes. Roasted, marinated pork leg wrapped in a soft, warm flour tortilla, topped with a smoky onion chipotle sauce that brings just the right level of heat and depth. The pork is tender and juicy, bursting with bold, rich flavor, and the sauce ties it all together in the most addictive way. This isn’t just a great taco—it’s an experience, executed with heart and soul. Pair it with one of their fresh-squeezed juices (the piña is pure sunshine), and You’ve got a flavor combo that’ll stop You in Your tracks. Sunset Park has plenty to offer, but Don Pepe is in a league of its own. I came in curious. I’m leaving a fan. And I’ll be back—again and again.

I had to visit this place multiple times when my wife was pregnant because it was conveniently located, but if I had the choice, I would never go back. The woman behind the counter always has an attitude, acting as though she’s doing you a favor by serving you. It feels like she thinks you’re getting free food, which is incredibly off-putting. The prices are outrageously high, especially considering the quality of the products they use. Nothing is organic, and they often use fruits that are clearly past their prime—some even look like they should have been thrown out days ago. This was one of the main reasons I decided to never return. Every visit was a horrible experience, but the last time was the worst. I spent almost $60 on three juices, which is already excessive. When I asked for a small cup, the woman told me it would cost an extra 50 cents—after I had already paid with my credit card. To make matters worse, they charged me an additional 2% fee for using a card, which felt like a sneaky way to squeeze more money out of customers. The combination of poor customer service, overpriced items, low-quality ingredients, and hidden fees made this one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this place unless you enjoy being overcharged and treated poorly.

They use real fresh fruit and all smoothies are made to order. The food gear is very good and well made. They are quick and deliver just damn good meals.

Orderr a Quesadilla with double meat and they did not even give me enough meat to fill up the Quesadilla. They did this because I’m black. I can’t believe, how much I paid. ($16.44 - quesadilla double meat/ side of beans and topped a dollar on the order so $17.44.) I don’t understand how this could be double meat this does not look like enough for a regular quesadilla. I even went back to ask the staff if this was in fact double meat. It Taste's okay but would not come back here. Also don’t waste your money on double meat they clearly plan to rip you off or they don’t have enough business, so they over charge customers. The restaurant is also empty that could be the answer right there.

A fun spot with good food and a variety of things for sale that are hard to find. Seating is limited to four still at a bar, but they do take out as well.

Wow. If you love tortas, then high tail it here. These remind me of the ones I used to eat in Central America. I had the Pollo con Mole and my daughter had the Picadillo. We loved them both. We also ordered Iced Horchata and Iced Tea. Both are homemade. My daughter never had horchata before, and - not surprisingly - she loved it. I loved the tea too: it’s their own mix of spices and tea. It’s a very small place with limited seating. The seating is four stools, and a bench outside.

LA Casa de Julia is a new Mexican restaurant located in Queens, offering a variety of authentic dishes such as mole poblano, barbacoa, tortas, burritos, and 10 different types of tacos. The chorizo tacos are particularly recommended for their flavorful and well-spiced pork. Customers have also praised the generous portions and consistency of the food. Additionally, the restaurant offers a fun atmosphere with karaoke and friendly service.
Great food and great service. Amazing homemade hot sauce.

Variety of options. Micheladas was good with the pacifico - def recommend to try. The guacamole def needed a but more lime, cilantro, and lil bit of salt. Tacos were good and the cemita had flavor.

I recommend the tacos dorados and mole. Also, they have great happy hour specials, including my favorite: the coconut mojitos. Make sure to check out their karaoke on fridays and saturdays after 9 pm!

Well, first of, I'm not Mexican, but I always love to eat in Mexican restaurants. But I'm Alegria to avocado, so I always say no to that. And I do not like anything spicy, I always make sure to say NO to both things. Today, I ordered from this place and repeated 3 times NO SPEICY and NO AVOCADO. Yet they send jalapeños en all my food, this is the worst $23 I have spent in any restaurant. Also, the portion of food is small.

I used to like this restaurant but I've had really bad experiences lately. It's been two time that I find hairs in the food. Also, when ordering for take out they didn't give me the orders complete. And today the last time I get food from them I had to wait too long because they had no rice. After like 30 minutes of waiting they said they would change it for salad. When I said I wanted the rice they made me go back and gave me almost nothing. They food has not only gotten worse but they showed how cheap they are. By the way. It was for 4 orders. Not going there ever again!
