One of the best mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to in the city — don’t be fooled by the modest appearance! One of the best carnitas tortas you will ever have, guaranteed

The food is fantastic, special shout out to the Enchiladas de Mole. Hard to stand out given the other good Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood, but El Mexicano has done it.

This place has excellent food at a great price. Staff are always friendly and the quesadilla (I’ve had chicken and veggie) is TOO good. Great spot if you’re in the neighborhood!

The real deal, no frills. I will admit when we first saw this spot arrive, we judged if it could beat the other 5 spots in the area.

To my surprise, the other reviews are on point. I had the birria tacos and they were so tasty. *Oily but comes with the territory.

I will definitely be back and try some other dishes too. A nice addition to the neighborhood and manages to stand out with quality with the competing near by Mexican restaurants.

Recommended dishes: Tacos Al Birria

Came here with some family and didn’t think much of it before coming.
But it was really good
The juices are terrific, fresh and flavoursome. You can choose fruits- we did apple, pineapple, orange, carrot and ginger and it was excellent.
We had chilaquiles, quesadillas, birria tacos, regular tacos, and enchiladas, with a good variety of proteins. All dishes came with beans and rice.
Everything was delicious, fresh and easy to share. The sauces on top are great and made in house. It was also easy to hear each other talk.

Ultimately I had an excellent dining experience here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone nearby and look forward to returning here with my family and friends when I am next in New York.

Vegetarian options: Speak with staff if unsure
Good section of stuff and kitchen are flexible (since almost everything is made fresh in house).

Parking: Park on the street
Reasonable price parking
Reasonable availability

This place is my favorite for Mexican food in the neighborhood. Everything I’ve had is beyond delicious. Ordering out or dining in, this place is fantastic. Decor is bare bones but who cares when they have the best birria tacos I’ve ever had?
