Okay pregnant, hard to please lady here – I LOVE their food and that's saying a lot because I hate everything right now.
I accidentally got the grilled chicken fajita salad instead of the actual fajita but I was pleasantly surprised when I took a bite. It came in a hard flour shell loaded with grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, peppers, sour cream, and salsa (I asked for guac and onions to be left out). Absolutely delicious. I wish the salsa was a bit thicker and they forgot the cheese for my nachos but that's really my only complaint.
Delivery was fast and the delivery person was very nice.
Im a Survivor!
fast, cheap, TEX Mex.
Survival – food, for when you are starving but Not something that will make your taste buds go wild.
The salsa is Way too watered down 🙁 I like salsa!!
The enchiladas had no visible sauce. Weird because that's all an Enchilada is, a taco in spicy sauce… Here they were just drenched in cheese. A lot of cheese. The rice and beans topped with a small amount of lettuce and tomatoes were good.
This is something I can cook at home and I am nO chef. Considering the ingredients it is not expensive to make, so in all reality it would be cheaper to make at home which makes this place be Expensive when the cost of ingredients, taste and location is taken into account. Sometimes you pay extra when eating out, maybe for the extensive ingredients, or the quality, freshness. I'm even ok with paying for the ambiance-decor of a place. After all, we also eat with our eyes etc but this is not the case here.
It lacks flavor, authenticity (even if it is TexMex come on, Salsa is a Basic Need!) & it's overpriced considering these factors.
Having said that…
If your taste buds go mad in ecstasy for this place, please, Enjoy 😀
I still think it can be a relatively healthy* option.
This is one of those Chinese run Tex-Mex places. However, this is a higher quality one compared to others. Prices are low ($6 burritos, $6 enchiladas, $2 tacos) with big portions and flavorful food. Yes, the food is not authentic but it's tasty and filling. There is a reason this place has been here for many years (over a decade by my count).
Small place that doesn't look like much and doesn't look like it should be in Manhattan. But once I ordered, I wish I worked in Manhattan! I'd eat here every day!
Steak tacos were $3 so I got 2. They have a minimum credit card charge of $6 anyways, which is actually awesome, especially for a small place like this.
The 2 tacos I got were simple, yet filling. They are generous with the meat.
Def go here instead of McDonalds down the street!
I just tried for the first time because it is very close to my school studio!
I had the cheese & Steak quesadilla and a side of pinto beans.
I do think the spicy sauce is very watered down.
But the quesadilla is very flavorful and so is the pinto beans( it has some spiciness to it).
I think the good thing about this place is price and I will definitely try other things here!
Check the pic. This much food for $6.75? In New York? And they take Amex? YES.
Don't be fooled by this sketchy Asian Mexican place popped randomly into 28th. It's legit (says the Mexican guy that I came here with).
The platter I got was delicious. Great steak, great chicken, guac, beans, rice … and those fresh tortillas. YES.
So many YES's on this place. I need to Neuralize myself for the summer otherwise I'll look like crap at the beach.
I pretty much only eat burritos at mexican fast places as a general rule. Perfect food, on the go, and my baseline marker for fast/cheap burritos is chipotle.
Now disagree if you want, or whether you think chipotle is good or bad, would I go here rather than chipotle? no.
Steak tortilla, no beans please but can I have peppers instead? No
Tortillas from a plastic pack (not homemade like another review said)
Steak was chewy, overcooked, seasoned really dry
Lettuce was a little dried out
Non-generous portions of guacamole.
While i believe its slightly cheaper than chipotle, the portion size, flavor, seasoning, and variety is no way close to it.
One thing this has is that it delivers. Even then, I don't think its good enough for me to have it unless I'm really craving.
$2 tacos and $4 burritos and quesadillas?! Yes please!
There are plenty of Fresh Tortillas around, and while they do their job just fine, New Taco Express stands out from the crowd. They've got super cheap and awesome Mexican food that'll fill you right up for next to nothing!
To the naysayers who complain about the ghetto "decor," stick to delivery. The food will knock your socks off either way!
