Coming from a born/bred Californian - by far the best Mexican joint in all of Manhattan. The friendly family who runs it serves up delicious tacos and sopas. Many a nights in the EV have ended here.
Ranu RajkarnikarOctober 7, 2014Hole in the wall delicious Mexican joint. Nicest man working the counter and he has different meats every day. Get the goat, chorizo or carnitas on a torta or in tacos and leave happy.
Jordan LeeJune 5, 2017Lovely little place. The man and woman working are very sweet. Take a minute and order from their small "kitchen" and they will bring the food out to you. Definitely worth a visit.
Andrew WeiserMarch 28, 2018Tacos are of the classic Pueblan sort, featuring doubled white-corn tortillas, standard fillings (fave: the creamy chorizo con papas), and a pair of homemade salsas.
Cole KennedyNovember 18, 2019This has to be the best burrito in the neighborhood, if not the city. Ask what’s good and fresh; there’s usually something special in the slow cooker.
- Annabelle EmmJuly 20, 2017Great casual hole in the wall. I've been going here for six years and it never disappoints. Best tamales, super cheap, and perfect for late-night food after a night out in alphabet city/EV.
Lizzy SaxeDecember 4, 2014Zaragoza serves a lot more than great burritos. Try the unconventional quesadillas- more like pupusas, and totally delicious. The sopes are also great and their daily specials are excellent.
Andrew FurmanJune 8, 2015This place is a true hole in the wall. It's basically a deli that makes burritos, but they do have a couple of tables in the back. $8 for a huge amazing burrito.
Red FabbriMarch 12, 2013The best mexican food in the city. No joke. Yes it's a bodega. Yes it's cheap. Just bring your food next door to Drop Off for a drink while you enjoy (and get the goat if they have it!).
Zev Levit-RamosApril 15, 2017My favorite mexican deli. You can get authentic sour cream, and cheese, as well as awesome burritos and tamales!
Alex HennesseyAugust 21, 2015Tasty homemade Mexican food, dirt cheap prices, unassuming bodega space. Chicken burrito was great-- must try carnitas next. Worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.
AmateurConciergeJuly 24, 2015meat quality (pulled chipotle chicken, chorizo, etc) is surprisingly good, but burrito is over-riced & quesadilla is...more like a sope. It's the price & interior that peeps love...food doesn't shine
CarolineJuly 9, 2018Tacos are of the classic Pueblan sort, featuring doubled white-corn tortillas, standard fillings and a pair of homemade salsas. small tables among the towering shelves of groceries.- Charles ChiuJanuary 25, 2015Awesome Mexican food! Very authentic and hidden in a Mexican deli. #mexican #burrito #eastvillage #nyc #bangin #cheapeats
It's all good. Homestyle Mexican. Special is always good. Mexican groceries, too!
You don't want to miss the tinga de pollo tacos. 3 tacos make the perfect serving. Ask for crema and salsa on the side to complete this heavenly experience.
Sabih RahmanApril 4, 2017Burritos for $8. The wraps and rice are microwaved, but it tastes great. Very filling. Weirdly peaceful to watch him make it. We need more mexican food delis.
Raphael LangenscheidtSeptember 11, 2015$8 for a kickass burrito is too good to beat. The pork is so tender it's almost like a soup. They don't sell beer though, so bring your own. Still - if drunk or in need of solid Mexican food - go!
AdrienApril 7, 2016Hidden tiny taco stand in a bodega. Half deli Half restaurant. Very atypical and super tasteful
Maia McCannMay 24, 2013Best burrito in NYC, lovely people, delicious food. I will forever love and support this place and this place is forever responsible for me being a size 6 rather than a 2,
Tacos and tostadas are incredible. Shredded beef tostada was mouthwatering <3
Pratheeksha KSSeptember 20, 2017The lines are a little long because it's just one guy doing everything, but the food is tasty. They sell a huge variety of Mexican sauces
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Authentic Mexican food. Super cheap. Tacos and burritos are great, don't get a tamale. Get a side of beans.
Time Out New YorkAugust 1, 2011Try the taco de pollo at this tiny deli. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Snag a table by the fridges in the back and wash it down with a tallboy of Corona. Read more
Find. Eat. Drink.December 4, 2011Chef Nick Curtain: “ It’s a little taco stand. Amazing tostadas, tortillas and things like stewed goat, chorizo and potatoes that they churn out late into the night.”
Justin BretonMarch 27, 2015The chipotle chicken burrito is really, really good! Very authentic. For delivery, call. 👍👍
AskMenMay 21, 2010Homemade selection of stewed meats, a fridge full of Mexican (& pan-Latin American) beer, a juke with Spanish-language hits, & gregarious countrymen shooting the shit. Try the carnitas tacos.
Jenny DorseyMay 26, 2014Best hidden gem. Get the roast pork burrito and make sure to bring out the salsas from the fridge
A small Mexican deli / restaurant with amazing food. Huge flavorful burrito slathered in hot sauce!
AnilAugust 25, 2012If you want to feel like you are in someone's home instead of a restaurant, go here. Plus, the tacos are one of the best in the city.
Samantha MooreAugust 29, 2013I know this place is meat centric but they are very friendly to vegetarians as well! Delicious veggie tostadas.- L. RoseOctober 27, 2015The food is good, but nothing special. The burritos are now $8, but you do get quite a bit more than at Chipotle. It's not too clean the same guy handling the money was also making the food(no gloves)
Michelle C.November 19, 2012Daily Meal Tip" Zaragoza's burrito comes on a plate smothered in three sauces, mimicking the Mexican flag. Dig in with a knife and fork!
This place makes burritos that are so good they consume my dreams.
Julius TarngSeptember 12, 2015Traditional Mexican food from mom n pop shop. Grab the daily meats by the ladle
Go for the grande taco. My favorites are the pork or chorizo, but the meats vary by the day. If you like your tacos SPICY, this is the spot.
The burritos are to die for and the meats on offer change daily. Try something crazy, like goat!
Tres ManosMay 31, 2013Top spot!! Sooo incredibly good and the service and everything about it rocks!
Lonestar TacoFebruary 13, 2013They have a tiny selection of fresh produce and dry ingredients, not the best, but good in a pinch. Grab a lengua or cabrito taco too.
Doug WamplerSeptember 12, 2014A Mexican bodega that seems to have accidentally expanded into an indoor food cart. Quite an experience
Homemade, authentic taco's in a non-discrete store. Like heat? Ask for "caliente" to test your strength.
