The worst Mexican food to exist! I knew from when she gave me my order and the orders were missing things I should’ve returned the food. Simply by the looks it was disgusting. There is no flavor, the chicken is just boiled, not even the guacamole had anything in it. The nachos didn’t have the cheese melted, just Tostitos chips with boiled chicken, sour cream and Costco guacamole. Honestly Costco guacamole is actually more flavorful! What a waste of money and time! They had us wait for 15 mins just to give us premade food ? The rice is already cooked, beans and chicken so what took so long? This is an order of chicken nachos and a chicken burrito bowl. Run away, please.
I was sure hoping this place was going to be at least above average, because the Mexican food in New York City is so hit and miss and for me this Asada taco was a miss, an airball from the free throw line. I would give it less than three stars but the ambiance the people were very friendly, and maybe I caught them on a bad day but this steak was dryer then a cracker with little to no flavor. The sauce is the only reason I was able to eat half of one taco the rest I'm sorry went into the trash. I was very skeptical when I saw them heating up my steak in a frying pan which told me that this was prepared well in advance.
As I waited for my bag to be repaired a D'Alex tailors I went to Essex Market for some lunch. I chose Puebla Mexican food and got exactly what I wanted, black bean burrito with cheese and guacamole. My only critique is I would have like the guacamole to more texture, it seemed more like avocado puree; that said know that I will return because I basically got what my taste buds were desiring.
Hi, I hope the restaurant reads this review because….you need some help. First couple times I got a burrito it was great, now…skimpy portions, weak flavors. Rice beans and meat tasted not fresh at all…watching them microwave my children’s portion of steak was disheartening. Beyond all of this. There were five employees standing around, moving at a glacial pace for seemingly no reason. I wanted to jump the counter and make my own and my fellow customers orders.
This place serves up delicious mexican comfort food. It has a small stand in Essex Street Market, but within there they do big things. Try the veggie tomale or the rajas-jalapeno quesadilla.
I had an amazing conversation with one the owners about how chipotle is not authentic Mexican food ‼ ‼GO HERE INSTEAD OF CHIPOLTE‼ ‼
The vegetarian burrito bowl at the location inside Essex Market was so good. Best bowl i’ve had in the city.Food: 5/5
My favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. Was heartbroken when they had to leave their 1st Avenue location but thrilled to see they're still operating. Their burritos are on point and their daily specials especially the beef stew are always worth checking out. Mexican comfort food at its finest.
This place has really good tamales. I love their black bean burrito. It's also a vegan tamal but it tastes just like a real tamal. It's a small family owned buisness and they are so nice. I always buy about 10 tamales because they run out pretty fast. I also had the chile relleno and it was good too. I haven't had the chance to try the tacos yet. So far I liked what I tried.
First time ordering and everything is perfect. The burritos and the torta are perfect in portion size, and the mexican nachos are also amazing wish the nachos were freshly made tho. Will order again!
