My go-to spot when I'm craving Mexican in my hood. I've seen this spot change ownership over the past several years from being a kebab shop to a deli but it seems that they finally have it right with serving Mexican dishes. They also do breakfast stuff, burgers, rotisserie chicken and more but their Mexican items are the best things to order.
There is seating, should you want to eat in. The place is nothing fancy and the people that work here are nice and friendly.
Cheap and satisfying, I don't ask for much more when I pop in for take out on the way home. From tacos to flautas to burritos, I'm never disappointed from what I order at this place.
I'd actually prefer to give this place a 3.5 based on no chips/salsa and take-out vibe, but since the food was pretty good they get graded on a curve. I've had several different tacos, all of which were piled high with meats and chopped cilantro/salsas (no guac) and a side of refried beans, which were watery and bland.
I thought they did a good job with the meats, but the sides/options were lacking. That said, I'm sure those living near will find some favorite dishes on this menu, which is more varied than average.
I have been here a few times. If you are looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place! It's a small local spot so you know it's good. For about 8 to 10 bucks a plate you can get a bunch of good Mexican dishes. Most come with a side of rice and beans and salad. You definitely get your money's worth. They also have a variety to choose from on the menu. It can get overwhelming. The staff are good at making recommendations. So if you in the area give this place a shot!
I tried the torta carnitas and it may be even better than the cemitas! My taste buds are still reeling. Love this place!
I tried this place for the first time yesterday and am on the fence. I ordered beef flautas, which were exceptional. The meat was well seasoned and the shell was fried perfectly. I'd definitely order this again and likely will in the future. I also ordered a cheese quesadilla, which I was less than impressed with. The tortilla was okay, but the cheese inside wasn't melted. It's like they cooked the tortilla and then at the last minute grabbed a block of cheese from the fridge and shoved it in. It was also pretty bland and lacked seasoning; I will say that this is partially my own fault, though. It came with a side of salsa which definitely would have added flavor, but it was just too spicy for my taste so I didn't use it. This place gives generous portion sizes, as both of my dishes were large and priced extremely well.
The delivery, as others have said, was a slow. This didn't really bother me though because the timing was reflected accurately when I placed my Seamless order; it's not like they lied and said it would arrive quickly. When the delivery actually arrived, it was really confusing. The guy called my phone and told me he was here. Thinking that maybe he didn't have my apartment number, I gave it to him and told him to buzz in. I waited and my door never buzzed, so I tried calling him and it went to voicemail. So, I went downstairs to my main entrance and didn't see anybody. I called him again and, like the first time, it went to voicemail. Thinking he may have gone up the elevator while I was coming down the stairs and we missed each other, I went back to my apartment. Again, no sight of him. Finally, as I was waiting in my main entrance getting ready to call him for the third time, I saw him get out of a car. He was very friendly, but it kind of annoyed me that he expected me to come to his car to pick up my food. To me, delivery means you bring it to my door (my apartment door, NOT the building door).
Overall, I'd definitely give this place another chance. I'd like to try a few more dishes before I give a thumbs up or thumbs down. Also, I'll be able to see if the delivery issues were a one-time mixup or if this is how they operate in general. These factors could result in adding or deducting a star from my review.
I ordered here from Seamless on a Monday afternoon. The food took about 40 minutes to arrive. Overall, it was just okay.
Cemita Carne Enchilada- Bread was crunchy and had a good texture. However, you can't taste anything inside. There was no flavor at all.
Adobo de Pollo- The chicken was flavorful and tasty. This is something I would order again.
The experience overall was okay. I may consider ordering from here in the future.
