- 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.
