Amongst best outside of Cali: homemade corn tortillas (fluffier than most), tasty pollo asado, & balance spice w/ horchata! *Carne asada on chewier side & Quesadillas prepared differently from norm.
speakeasy esque environment - the restaurant is hidden away downstairs. make a reservation if you can! and try the mahi mahi tacos & the ahi tuna tostada
Featured in "Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives," authentic Mexican in a Mobile station food mart.
Mgmt: TRAIN waiters to drop sizzling fajita platter onto table & NOT into customer's hands-I was burned! Otherwise, festive decor, table-side guac, & (pork) carnitas fajitas wld've made up for it.
Get guac side instead of guac app w/ chicharrones (fried pork crackling), pickled red onions, & papaya & mango relish. Less guac but pairing small amt of fillings w/ huge corn tortillas is not a must
Been coming to this Nuevo (New) Mexican Chelsea fave for 15+ yrs. Decor was updated 2 yrs ago. Love their creative cocktails & consistently great dishes: Carnitas, Homemade tortilla chips w/ chipotle
It doesn't get any better than a food truck that's parked indoors, owned by Food Network star Aarón Sanchez, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner fare. Try the fish tacos; they'll blow you away.
Try the Pescado a las Brasas taco, available at the sit-down café and takeout taqueria. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Read more.
The ultra-exclusive restaurant downstairs isn't easy to snag a table at, so if you're out of luck, go to the more casual taqueria around the corner. You can get the same mouthwatering tacos here.
New seafood taco spot from the Los Tacos No. 1 crew. The fish taco and spicy shrimp taco are great. You can skip the crowd in Chelsea Market and enter right on 15th St.
Prefer 3 (medium salsa verde, pico de gallo & hot) on bottom from Los Tacos over 2 (like Chinese chili sauces) on top from Los Mariscos.
You gotta try the fish and shrimp tacos! The tortillas are hand made fresh
Yelp's Top 100 Restaurant in the U.S. Sabroso! Mexican Grill coming in at 61!
Sabroso! Mexican Grill will be featured in the Food Network Show - Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. July 11th, 2014 7pm. "California Cruisin" Read more.
Came in with my mom after seeing their ep. of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. A little pricier than your hole-in-the-wall taqueria but the asada is delicious (I had a torta and taco) and great pozole.
Great food and atmosphere!! Guacamole and the Ceviche were excellent as well as the fish tacos! Will be coming back for sure!!
Hot New Spot! The drinks and food! Ziggy's classic and roasted chicken are a must try 😋 Will be coming back to try the rest of the menu.
The margaritas are 5 dollars and they are on point!!!!!! Ladies free drinks on Wednesdays after 7!!!
I have yet to find a Mexican corn-on-the-cob that beats this 1 w/ chili powder, Cotija cheese & lime!
Instead of the long wait, pop next door to the "to-go" annex of Habana..w/ 12 seats, it's comfier & cheaper than next door.
So cute!! And they have happy hour between 7-9pm!! Everything was delicious and everyone were real nice
The Torta Ahogada with carnitas (pork) is almost as delicious as an original from Guadalajara!!! Don't miss the 3 leches cake!!!
Do NOT get the corn (equites)! It is canned corn that has sour cotija cheese and mayo on it. Not even real corn on the cob!
TODAY's the opening day of La Esquina in the UES! Excited a decent Mexican taqueria came to our hood & can't wait to try the tacos, tortas & Aguas Frescas!
Called 3x searching for lost sweater. Either the business phone number is wrong on Yelp + 4SQ or train your workers to speak English!!!
With $5 apps & $4-6 drinks M-F from 5-7pm, Pampano has one of the best HH's in midtown E! Tonight, they have FREE margaritas 'til 8pm!!
other than the fact that they don't have happy hour options (who does that in midtown?) this place is yummy. try the mezcalita de pena and the carne asada tacos w cheese (always cheese).
Cemita: Get the milanesa de res, beef pounded into thin strips, lightly breaded & fried. Tantalizing flavors: pungent herb papalo, chipotle, Oaxacan cheese, crunchy onion, creamy avocado & mayo. Read more.
Authentic Mexican food in Little Italy. Usually hard to get a table but worth a short wait. Everything's delicious from the salsa to the sangria to my personal fav, the steak nachos. Can't go wrong.
Some of the best Mexican food you'll find in the city. Great barbacoa, enchiladas suizas, and quesadillas de flor de calabaza. Huge portions, great salsa, guac, horachata too. Reasonable prices.
The fish tacos are grilled to perfection. Warning, the pickled pepper that comes on the side is EXTREMELY SPICY.
Warm burrito bowl with melted cheese on top is so good. Just ask for an option to make a burrito (bowl) "Wet".
Yay! Another cool newbie in my UES ‘hood opened ~1.5 wks ago..a bit pricey but can’t wait to try this new Tex-Mex & compare to Calexico! Open now only 4 dinner & soon..breakfast, brunch & LATE HH! :)
The barbacoa, chorizos, and carnitas tacos were really good, if not amazing. The fresh corn tortillas are really good and worth picking up a half or whole kilo for devious things at home.
Quite possibly the tastiest torta I've eaten yet. Al Pastor piled high with lettuce, tomato and spicy salsa makes for a solid sandwich at $7.00
Fantastic food -- try the cactus fries or avocado salad -- one side comes with meal which is a lovely bonus. We had fish tacos and chicken torta -- they get the bread fresh daily from local bakery.
TONY's top 25 tacos! Chicken & carnitas tacos: juicy & flavorful meat stuffed in two tasty corn tortillas! The green sauce is da bomb! ;9
Great brunch and bottomless drinks. Very friendly staff and always looking to accommodate. Love the margaritas and mexicana huevos.
Very very good. Not Mexican street food, but really good for more upscale Mexican
Korean BBQ taco & rice bowl truck has rolled onto the scene w/ delish must-trys - spicy pork! Here Tue's & Fri's around 11am-3:30pm.
Dishes to try include falafel tacos with hummus, Hokkaido sea urchin on toast, pastrami tacos with mustard seed salsa, and tempura fish with lime mayo. There’s guacamole and the seven salsas, too. Read more.
As a connoisseur of Tex Mex, I approve for comfort Mexican food. It’s sacrilegious to not start with guac and seven dips. Pastrami tacos and short rib make your own tacos are🔥. Layer on a few margs!
Empellon's high end offering is not for those on a budget. Sea bream was great. Downtowners will recognize familiar guac, salsa spread and some of the taco offerings
Best bang 4 $? Get $38 3-course Lunch PF or, better, $48 3-course (w/ better opts) Pre-Theater PF (M-F 5-6pm; Sat 11:45am-3pm/5-6pm) OR Sun PF 11:45am-3pm/5-clsg). Simply order xtra craves á la carte!
Small restaurant with delicious, authentic Mexican food, friendly staff, and attentive service.
Epic find: the best carnitas (& pollo) taco I've had on the E coast! It goes head-to-head w/ a few of my faves on the W coast. Their tortillas were freshly handmade w/ corn masa right in front of us!
Unless you wanna wait for your food for 1 1/2 hrs, don't come during peak hrs..oh..and don't go when I go. ;p *Hint: they're open late!
A touristy spot but I still love the Grove for the relaxed shopping atmosphere, tacos & aguas frescos at La Lotería in Farmers Mkt, & the star-sightings. Also, I get my parking validated in the Mkt.
Quesadilla is very filling. Try any of their specialty tacos, especially shrimp taco. Delicious food overall.
It is all delicious! Duck carnitas, endive salad, razor clams all a must. For desert, everyone raves about the husk meringue (and it is v good) but we preferred the caramelised cacao butter.
Really wonderful brunch. Try the duck enmoladas, the tostada, and the chilaquiles:) the sope and nopales salad are also very nice.
Large portions and creative Mexican fare. Sleek and buzzy interiors. Get the Octopus for sure! The duck carnitas are huge so be sure to share amongst 3/4. The uni tostadas were not memorable.
Pecora Bianca, Dorado Tacos, Roberta’s Pizza, Takumi Taco, Bao by Kaya, Rockaway Clam, Inday, Little Collins, Bob White, Top Hops, Tuck Shop, Go Fish Sushi, Liquiteria, Taim, Kuro-Obi, Trapizzino.
Lovely and wonderful place. Mexican food as you’ve never tried before. Awesome cocktails. A new and great experience, once in a lifetime flavors. Love it.
Pissed @ cashier selling me xtra Habañero salsa for 85¢ (hwy robbery) w/o mention of FREE salsas by mural. No tip 4 her! Shrimp in taco was fresh but not deshelled 100%. Ckn Quesadilla is better deal.
Look 4 FREE salsas @ window by mural instd of paying hwy robbery price of 85¢ for a “special” (Pico de Gallo, Tomatillo or Habanero) salsa
Pissed @ Dorado selling me xtra Habañero salsa for 85¢ (hwy robbery) w/o mention of FREE salsas by mural. Shrimp in taco was fresh but not deshelled 100%. Ckn Quesadilla is better deal.
Food was delicious. Margarita wasn’t. Service was slow. Strange...happy hour doesn’t apply to people sitting in the back area that’s slightly raised. 🤔🤨
Sangria popsicle, food I ate could have been more flavorful but was good. $3 tacos $1 dumplings during happy hour
Wow’ed by this fast-food Mex & Pueblan chef! Savory tacos, tortas, tamale, quesadilla w/ fresh & spicy jalapeño & cilantro salsas, menudo, horchata, & Mex Coke! 90% Mexican clientele..the real deal.
Guac too runny for my taste, chips are out of a bag, & quesadillas are ok. But the Carnitas taco (w/ the Salsa verde) is this hole-in-the-wall's shining star! Not cheap for a to-go only kiosk.
