“This is a gem of a place. Decided to go to NYC to support the San Antonio Spurs for Game 3 of the NBA Finals and saw that Yellow Rose was not only hosting a Spurs watch party, but is owned by San Antonians. I had shiner beer queso & chips, a steak taco that was stuffed with a lot of meat, and shared the skillet cornbread with my new Spurs friends. Atmosphere was awesome and the servers were so nice.“

“I was starving and near by and a burrito i knew would cure what ails me.

Got the birria burrito, thing was huge, came with consume and was amazing. Felt like it was made with love. Chips and a coke and I don't need to eat got the rest of the day.

10 out of 10, would totally stop by here again. Not even just because I am starving.“

“We had a great dinner at Javelina! The complimentary chips and house salsa were a nice touch and a great way to start the meal. I ordered the cheese quesadillas, and they were simple but absolutely delicious - crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. My husband had the steak fajitas, which were cooked perfectly and served sizzling hot. We also had a draft Pacifico, and it was fresh, ice cold, and the perfect pairing with the food.
Our server was absolutely amazing - friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome throughout the meal. The service really made the experience even better. Great food, generous portions, and a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back! 🌮🍺“

“This was my first visit here, and I was truly touched by how wonderful the food was. Xavier, the GM, was so thoughtful and generous; he kindly let us enjoy happy hour. I want to especially thank Alveero, the waiter, who treated us with such warmth and made us feel truly valued. I really appreciate all the effort you put into making our experience special. I highly recommended 🌹Thank you.🤗“

“good chilaquiles in the city“

“Good service, good live music.“

“Ronny was absolutely amazing and made our visit to Chevy’s a great experience from start to finish. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine personality immediately made us feel welcomed. He didn’t just provide great service he made sure we felt comfortable, respected, and truly cared for.
What impressed us the most was the way Ronny treated my mom. He went out of his way to make sure she was happy and had everything she needed. His patience, positive attitude, and thoughtful way of helping made her feel special. My mom left Chevy’s with a big smile and kept talking about how wonderful Ronny was and how much she appreciated the way he treated us.
People like Ronny are what make a place stand out. He brings great energy, kindness, and dedication to his work, and it shows through the way he interacts with customers. He made our experience memorable, and we are truly grateful for the excellent service he provided. Chevy’s is lucky to have someone like Ronny on their team, and we look forward to coming back again because of him. THANK YOUUUU SO MUCH RONNY❤“

“Delicious and unique items available on the menu. The staff, food, and environment and overall experience were 10/10. Definitely check it out!“

“The service & food were great 😃👍🏻“

“Great food and service. My after work food stop when working late on a Friday at Governors Island.“

“My first visit was last year and yesterday we decided to go again since indoor dining was reopening. We were a group of three, friendly staff and our host went above and beyond at a point that coffee was not in the menu and he made it for us. We ordered margaritas and were on point, fajitas, Mac and cheese, churros, beer, chips with salsa and many other things. Every single thing was good. Me personally never ordered Mac and cheese on a restaurant and I have to go hands down on your chef because that was the best one I’ve had in a while. To everybody: make sure you support local restaurants like this one, and tip well for their service, they really need it and the quality of their service hasn’t go down even on a pandemic. Support Lobo!!!!!“

“I had such a wonderful experience here! From the moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed with a warm greeting and seated with menus right away. The atmosphere was calm and inviting when we arrived, and by the time we left, the restaurant had filled up, which says a lot.

The food came out fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the steak platter with scrambled eggs, home fries, and grilled onions, and every bite was flavorful without feeling heavy. I paired it with a caramel latte, and it was the perfect addition to the meal.

One thing I'm especially excited about is their weekend menu, which is available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It looks amazing, so I'll definitely be coming back to try it.

Parking is available on the street, and it wasn't difficult to find a spot. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience with great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!“

Buen servicio de a domicilio! Delicious and convenient food! Have had various items: burritos, wraps, quesadillas, platters, and desserts. Service is helpful for any special requests if needed. Delivery service is great as well!“

“The food is AMAZING!!! I love the tortilla soup ❤️“

“Great food! we go every time we are in the city.“

“was afraid to post this review because places this good should stay secret. the food was incredible. so flavorful and fresh, truly magnificent. would post pictures but the food was so good i licked the cardboard tray clean before i got a chance to even think about photos. amazing portion sizes. food is filling, tastes incredibly fresh, and seasoned perfectly. looking forward to coming back“

“I’m getting those three stars because I’ve eaten here before and the food was better (had decent burritos here). But today I ordered something different. To be fair, I only ate the nachos which were shared. But they were really bad. The cheese was liquid, the “sour cream“ was liquid, the chips disintegrated. It was worse than a Taco Bell, nacho Bell grande, which can be quite delicious given the right circumstances. I just don’t think there are any circumstances under which he nachos would be acceptable.“

“My family just tried it today. The burritos were so goood and the kids loved their cheese empanada and churros. Thank you for coming to River Edge!!“

“Liked. Good food great atmosphere“

“Incredible food with great service! One of the hidden gems in NYC!“

“This is the best Mexican food I’ve found in NYC so far. At least as far as burritos go. I get the Acapulco burrito (which has no meat). It’s still not like mexican food in the south west, but I love it and keep going back. Very fast preparation.“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

“I always enjoy Chili’s. It’s a family favorite.“

“This is one of our favorite places to PLAY MUSIC in the city, and we love it so much... we go there on our off nights, too, just to hang out. There's always a friendly scene and the food, drink, and atmosphere are unbeatable. Top 1 place in NYC.“

“Very delicious!!! I had the high protein post workout (Double Steak) bowl and the wife had the Birria crunch stack. Wow!! What a treat. I had it delivered and it got here suoerfast from GHUB. This is going to be one of my go to eateries when i am craving some sweet Mexican fare“

“This is a hidden gem on Bergenline Ave! The food is delicious, fresh and very tasty. I had the fried porgy, double cheese burger and the fried chicken with yuca fries was the star, a 10/10! They stay open LATE and have a beautiful ambiance AND drinks! One of my neighborhood faves for sure ❤️“

“Garden Tortillas & Chinese Express never disappoints. The food was amazing — flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right. Every bite was satisfying, and the portions were more than worth it. Whether you’re craving something comforting or bold in flavor, this place delivers. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the food came out fast. Easily one of my go-to spots, and I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“Lemme make something clear for yall… the couple who run this place is kind and lovely, yes the prices on the wall need to be updated… just ask the person in the front of those prices are correct 🤷‍♂ or order off of seamless… this is their take on Mexican food… it’s not going to be authentic lol and another thing the food taste good and is pretty priced good if you see the prices on the menu… you get a lot of bang for your buck. That’s all that needs to be said, if you order online it’s pretty quick.“

“I had one of their tacos for the first time today and it was indeed Delicious!“

“Great Tacos 🌮 Thank you For your excellent Service“

“Nice bar, good selection, billiards and darts.“

“the breakfast food was good 👍🏽 😋“

“I am responsible for organizing team meals for a collegiate basketball team, and I prefer to support local businesses when possible. When searching for a place that would accept a large team order, the owner of Di Di was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. Every member of the team enjoyed their food, and I was pleased with the quality of service provided. We will definitely return in the future!“

“I recently visited Wonder and was seriously impressed. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor—exactly what you hope for but don’t always get. The variety is also a huge standout; there are so many great options that it’s hard to choose just one.

Everything felt well-executed and consistent, which speaks to a strong operation behind the scenes. The quality was noticeable in every bite, and nothing felt rushed or overlooked. It’s the kind of place you can count on when you want something satisfying and done right. If you’re in the area and want quality food without compromise, this spot absolutely delivers.“

“Loved it! Guacamole with fried plantains was delicious. I had the steak with garlic shrimp, very good. My friends enjoyed their dishes too. Drinks were also great- I had the Cucumber Margarita with Don Julio & it was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Trendy atmosphere and cool murals. Service was wonderful- friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. Will definitely be back.“

“me & my boyfriend always come here. the food is incredible, coffee OUTSTANDING and the workers are always sweet. definitely a place to check out!!! i’d recommend the mango shake, coffee, mexican tacos, burritos, their salmon bowl, and their taco salads!!“

“This is an ordinary Chinese restaurant a few blocks off the 18th Ave line of the D train. I had the sweet and sour soup and kung pow chicken, which I ate inside at one of their three tables. The food was just as good as the many Chinese restaurants in the area. But what was impressive was the kind, friendly, and generous attitude of the man behind the counter. While eating there, I saw and heard him interact with customers in person and over the phone. He knew most customers names and orders before they even asked. When a man came in picking up food, saying he needed to drive to Staten Island, the proprietor gave him a bottle of water on the house for the road. He gave another frequent visitor a free soup just because, and begrudgingly took a few extra dollars from a customer who was short on cash the last visit, insisting he also take a free soup or a drink. I saw him take care of his delivery person, too, giving him a hot meal and insisting he take a breather and rest during this unseasonably hot evening. He did everything with a smile on his face and genuine care. People like this should get all the business in the world.

If you’re choosing a Chinese place and don’t have just the world’s best restaurant nearby, come to this one. You will contribute to the universe becoming a better place.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Best service. Best food.“

“Asked for a torta with enchilada pork at 8:30 am. They quickly and efficiently accommodated a request they likely don’t get at that hour. The torta was absolutely excellent and I’ve had a hundred or more after overtime a decade in so cal and Mexico. They do it right. Will be back.“

“buena comida los mejores tacos del área“

“Just had some fantastic food here, very comfortable atmosphere and great service, thank you“

“The phone order can be overwhelming and the rudeness isn’t intentional as the language barrier can be overwhelming but their food and kitchen is clean. Price effective for the town area. The food is fresh and seasoned. Plenty meal options to choose from as well.“

“We moved here about a few months ago and I had to write a review for Sonya and her team. We've been to many Moe's in Jersey and New York but this is the best Moe's by far! The service and food is fantastic! Their customer service is excellent and they always make us feel welcomed. The food here is wonderful! You can tell everything they make is so fresh. We love eating here every other week. I truly hope they get the credit they deserve because they get an A+++++ from us! Great job Sonya and her team at Edgewater, NJ! Thank you for always taking such great care of us!“

“amazing restaurant wrong neighborhood.“

“Last night I took my wife and three children here for a bite to eat. We were greeted upon entering which is always nice to be acknowledged as a patron. The two men behind the counter were preparing orders already but they were quick. We were ordering withing two minutes. Christian and Rafael were their names. They were so attentive and efficient we had our food within minutes. We sat down and started eating and the food was out of this world. Then they brought out churros on the house that the kids loved. They were so kind. You don't see that a lot anymore. Especially in fast food places. The place was spotless. Very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Quesadilla, tacos or burritos. And the prices are very good!!! Thank you Christian and Rafael for the wonderful experience.“
