Riquissimo!! Viva la cocina mexicana autentica! No hay burritos, no hay guacamole, no hay margaritas, no hay nachos. La verdad cocina mexicana esta aqui!
Awesome! Hidden gem! Best authentic dive tacos in Harlem!
If you like this place, then stay away from El Paso, Cafe Ollin and Taco Bell. But again if you like it, you'll dig Taco Mix (but there's only 1 table), San Francisco de Assis, El Aguila (but they're slow and give attitude), Patty's Taco Truck, any taco truck in East Harlem, any tortilla/tamale lady in the street.
We had Tacos Al Pastor. And they put piña in it!!!! Yes! So hard in NYC to find true al pastor with pineapple! Trust me, it makes a difference. We also tried the Chilequiles. It'll burn your ass off. Be warned. But its a good spicy. Don't know Chilequiles? Mexican hair of the dog. Start trying it. It's like nachos but not fake American.
They serve horchata. But no aguas frescas. Not even Boing. Whats up with that?? El Aguila's better for that.
AWESOME TACOS. Cheap Prices.
But don't come here if you don't speak Spanish – which is perhaps how it should be. This place is muy autentico.
Breakfast is a bit disappointing though, I must say. Their pancakes were dry…and I ordered french toast anyway. So, the service isn't that great, but this might have been a miscommunication (as I'm not fluent in Spanish).
Addition to my previous review: They got my order wrong again – or at least failed to tell me there was no nopal (cactus) when I ordered something simply for the nopal. Also the bistec (steak) was really dry and I couldn't easily chew it. Minus one more star.
I wish I could give this restaurant a zero. I ordered from this restaurant tonight two items it took them an hour to deliver. One of the items, the quesadilla, came soggy bland and disgusting. The second item queso fundido did not arrive. When I called the restaurant to tell them of the mistake I asked for a refund of the undelivered item, it was already 9 o'clock at night, they agreed. Instead two and half hours later the Delivery guy comes back. When I call again they said we can't give everything only Seamless can do that really a restaurant can't give a refund for not providing what you ordered? Disgusting service terrible food.
