What an ugly character on the part of the manager, you can't try to talk to him, I wouldn't recommend it.

Ana Maria's stall in the heart of the market offers a slice of authenticity that's hard to find elsewhere. Despite a slightly higher price tag, the quality and generous portions make it a worthwhile indulgence.I recently had the pleasure of trying their carne asada sope and gordita, and I must say, they did not disappoint. Ana Maria's commitment to authenticity shines through in every bite. The flavors are bold, the ingredients fresh, and the execution flawless.The carne asada sope was a delightful mix of savory and satisfying. The tender carne asada paired perfectly with the soft yet slightly crispy base of the sope. Topped with beans, crema, and guacamole, each bite offered a symphony of flavors that left me craving more.The gordita, on the other hand, was a revelation. Stuffed with generous portions of carne asada, beans, crema, and guacamole, it was a handheld feast that exceeded my expectations. The combination of textures and flavors was nothing short of divine. However, be warned: this is not a sandwich you can tackle with your hands alone. A fork is definitely required to fully enjoy this culinary masterpiece.While the prices may be a tad higher than other stalls in the market, Ana Maria more than makes up for it with the quality and quantity of their offerings. The portions are indeed killer, ensuring that you'll leave fully satisfied.In conclusion, if you're in search of authentic Mexican cuisine that doesn't compromise on flavor or quality, look no further than Ana Maria's stall. Whether you opt for the sope, gordita, or any other offering on their menu, you're in for a treat that's sure to tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more. Don't let the price deter you; this is one culinary experience that's well worth every penny.

I can't recommend this place enough. The food was delicious. I had one of their plates with asada, carnitas, and the add beans and rice. They also add tortillas. The plate was substantial, and I had food to bring back home (and I like to eat!) My son had a torta al pastor that he devoured. The service was excellent, the ladies at the counter were not only patient with me (I didn't know about some of the types of meats they had). They took their time to explain without being bothered. The place has a good influx of people, and that is a way I see the place is good!The horchata was also amazing.

Pretty good quantity for a dish and a reasonable price. Loved the flautas and would definitely recommend this place.

I needed some comfort food and ordered the carne asada fries. They made the french fries fresh to order and piled it high with carne asada, cheese, cilantro, refried beans, spicy salsa (can choose other options) and some sour cream.The overall taste was good but the carne asada meat was dry. The tamarindo drink was super tasty and refreshing.

This place was a pass for me. Carne asada meat was dry and the tortilla wasn't good. Stick to Tombras nearby instead.
Marvin Ramirez
Meat taste really old and salted

Definitely the best taco spot at Grand Central Market. The hack is to order two tacos cuz they load tf out of them, and they give you an extra tortilla, so whatever falls off the first two turns into a 3rd taco. $10 and you’re full. Love this place.
Only a 4.1?!?! I always appreciate places that offers meats at its roots because it really shows the creativity of people that historically did not have a lot. I tried the pig-nose gordita and it was fantastic! You can learn a lot about a country's history with their food. Bravo!!

Listen, i bought one beef taco and somehow it turned into 3.As in one taco was so loaded with meat that i could make 3 tacos out of it. The guy gave me a total of three tortillas.The carne asada meat looked weird though. It looked less like carne asada more like shredded meat. Best resembled ground beef.The tacos were good. They wernt over the top greasy, but instead tasty. Very simple too, onky meat salsa of your choice and some cilantro and onion.The tortillas they used were the white corn ones that have a bitter after taste. I prefere the yellow corn. I dont think anyone should use the white ones as they taste bland and have that bitter aftertaste.My order was 5 dollars. Not bad. I dont usually buy mexican food because it falls short but this place was good. Exactly how a taco should taste(minus points for the tortilla).

All four Mexican restaurants have Top Notch fresh food …. Ana Maria definitely wins the race

Visited the Grand Central Market. Family choice were tacos. We ordered Al pastor and beef taco. I had chicken and rice with tomatillo sauce. We all loved our order. The food was flavor and met all our taste buds needs.

super delicious flavorful and packed with meat burrito! Would highly recommend and I would definitely come back it was so good. The guy at the counter just kept piling on more and more meat!It honestly doesn't look like much from the storefront inside of grand central market, especially next to another taco place right next door. We had originally come here for one of the iconic breakfast spots but the line was unacceptably long for a hungry girl waiting for breakfast (at around 10am lol). I saw a bunch of construction workers on line at this joint and that signaled to me that this place would have some good food , and the construction workers are always right! For $13, I got a huge burrito stuffed with more meat than I thought would be possible to stuff in a burrito. We're talking no filler here, no beans or rice or veggies which I probably could've requested but there was a bit of a language barrier.
