“Great food, super friendly and a cool space - will definitely go back“

“We ordered the empanadas, birria tacos, and tostones. $47 tab

Empanadas- asked for 2 beef and 1 chicken and either they are completely indistinguishable or they sent all beef. There was almost no pico or sauce on them and the dough was very thick. I've never had an empanada with thick dough like that and I've lived in New Mexico and CA, so had a lot of them. Filling was delicious and portion was good despite having no side dish at an entree price.

Birria tacos- delicious and as expected. Again it was the price of a full entree ($18 for 3 tacos) at most dine in establishments but came with no rice, beans, or sides and for this dish I'd call the portion small. My husband would not have been satisfied to eat just this as a meal without the tostones we ordered.

Tostones- These were exceptional. Some of my favorites ever. We cracked open the to-go container to keep them crisp on the drive home and they were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you go.“

“First time here and it was a great experience. I went in for lunch and ordered two nopales and two verduritas tacos and a side of rice and beans. The tacos were absolutely loaded and full of flavor. The nopales were cooked perfectly and I loved all the different veggies on the verduritas tacos. They have three different salsas and they were all good, but the morita was the standout for me, it had such a great Smokey flavor.“

“I usually don’t write reviews but our food was amazing! Our whole table agreed - the best Mexican food we have ever had. Plus the staff was wonderful!“

“My new favorite place to eat everyday lol“

“Always great food in or takeout“

“Absolutely love the food here. Being from the West Coast we are always looking for authentic flavored Mexican food in NY and have been sorely disappointed by other places. Margaritas is one of the few places we found so far that has that California Mexican flavor. We love it!“

“Lovely food stand with a good feel to it. Relaxed and happy place. It's going to be food stand food and not gourmet, but if that's what you're looking for, it fits the bill! If you haven't tried tropical fruit with Tajine (salt and lime flavor), here's your chance to experience something the world has to offer.“

We got complementary chips with salsa and guacamole. The fresh waters are also super tasty and their ice cream is amazing!“

“I really enjoyed a fabulous dinner meal 🥘 at El Guacamole PK. It was my first time visiting there and I was so impressed. The food was really good. I had the Sizzling Fajita - Chicken, Onions, Red & Green Bell Peppers, Hot Tortillas, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Cheddar Cheese and a Side of Rice & Beans. It was slamming. I also had an adult drink - A Pinapple Margarita. What I liked about this drink was the Seasonings laced around my drink glass. It was awesome!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹🔥🔥“
