Elvis RodricksOctober 8, 2017Every ny'ers delight- focus on the food and less on the decor. Your hole in the wall- a compliment. Takes a while to roll out the food but its made fresh including tortilla. The goat taco was great!
Rachel McDonaldJuly 23, 2018Cemitas!!! Try the Brody Cemitas under Specials. So bomb, & it’s a cute/quaint spot with a lot of character!
Dante D'OrazioAugust 30, 2014Cozy little place with wonderful Mexican food. Feels like you're getting a home-cooked meal. A number of great vegetarian options, including killer "Azteca" cemita. Be prepared to wait though.
FoladéJune 30, 2012Literally everything is good. I highly recommend you try the enchiladas. They are amazing and unlike any enchiladas you're currently familiar with. BTW The service is excellent.
- Lana VitsupJuly 13, 2014Juancho Cemita with chorizo is phenomenal! It's huge, too. So don't fill up on chips. Which are also very fresh and delicious.
Serious EatsNovember 4, 2011Juancho Cemita: Cactus, potatoes, beans, avocados, onions, tomatoes, Oaxacan cheese, chipotle, lettuce, jalapenos, pungent pápalo, and your choice of meat in the slightly crunchy sesame seed bun. Read more
Ash PondersAugust 22, 2015Mexican comfort foods, staring crema, cotija, and nopales. The Horchata here is a lovely take on the silky style, lightly spiced. Hell yeah!
CompassApril 25, 2014From bright blue walls to a dozen-plus nacho plates, the tucked-away spot is known for irrististibly rich (and inventive) takes on Latin comfort dining.
The Corcoran GroupApril 1, 2011Delicious, cute and inexpensive restaurant serving Cemitas (try the Chorizo), Tortas (taste the Chivo Enchilado) and Tacos (yummy Cecina and Lengua).
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2013Try the massive portion of chile rellenos which is piled high with melted Oaxaca cheese.
JuchaussJanuary 23, 2015Hole in the wall Mexican restaurant, super authentic and delicious for a very reasonable price!
Katrina LipinskyJanuary 4, 2014Checked in for the first time and didn't realize there was a newbie special! They added a free taco to my order. Cute place!- NabeelMarch 29, 2011Nice, clean place. Friendly staff. The chicken fajitas with peppers will make you wonder why you haven't been here before. Very light and non-greasy.
- Ly ElMay 17, 2012Cemita with Carnegie enchilada huge and delicious. Fresh sesame bread, poblano pork, stringy Mexican cheese.
- Sam BonaparteSeptember 8, 2012Get the spicy pork or chorizo in your burritos! Also, make sure you get the tacos "con todo." Amazing Mexican food.
Best tacos in East Harlem ... Recommend getting everything on them. Inexpensive, great service, overall pleasant experience.
David BlackmanNovember 13, 2011The cemitas are like if Mexico and a greasy spoon diner had a baby and put it on a bun. To be eaten. So good.
Daniel PerezNovember 4, 2012Get the sopes and the enchiladas. They also make their horchata in the restaurant
DishEnvyMarch 2, 2012The Pork Carnitas "Cemita" has been called the "best Mexican sandwich on the Island"
Cemitas are awesome and the enchiladas are so good
Jessie CatanaOctober 17, 2015Ordered the Juancho cemita for delivery and it was completely lackluster. Ill attribute it to delivery though.
