The Carne asada was juicy and flavorful, the natural drinks were authentic, service was amazing, ambiance was clean and colorful. family friendly environment....I could go on and on... but it's better you just try it yourself to see what I'm talking about 👍 🇸🇻 🇺🇸“

“Truly the greatest dining experience you can have in the area. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is so welcoming and inviting, you’ll never want to leave. If you get a chance, Monica is also the best part of the whole experience. She made our night a 10 out of 10 to 11. Might have to come on a weekly basis moving forward.“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“Carnitas Ramirez is one of the most authentic taco spot I tried on the East Coast. We went there on a Saturday night and tried six different type of meats, all flavorful and melting in the mouth, with a special mention for the crispy pork belly. Do not hesitate to try the most unusual cuts! These are among the most surprising and delightful one.“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“It was a surprise to find this little restaurant in Harlem. There were no tables, and we took the last two seats at the bar. While we waited, I surprisingly felt at home. The aroma of the food, the care with which Karina prepared each of the dishes, and the kindness and joy they served us. By the time our table was ready, we didn't want to take it anymore; we ate much more than we planned to order because we didn't want to miss out on their delicious food. I have dietary restrictions, and I was surprised to see that everything from the exquisite tortillas to the delicious tres leches dessert was prepared right there, gluten-free and preservative-free. I hope to return soon.“

“Saludo banda estoy aquí Las chilangas les recomiendo que la quesadilla 🌮están súper delicioso vengan ah pasar con sus familia y el servicio es espectacular.“

“great wait staff.. even better food“

“I really loved this place. It has a nice indoor and maybe an even nicer outdoor area. The staff was very kind too. I came here with a mission. 😎 I’m a huge fan of tripa so of course i tried the TRIPA taco and i chose ASADA too with steak. I really loved both, the textures, the flavours, everything was great. I loved the texture of the tripa tha most!!! Oh and the texture of the tortilla… wow, i loved that too. 😋“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“great tasting food also good service and environment“

“Had the most wonderful experience here. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. From the drinks to the appetizers and entrées. And you definitely can't forget the delicious flan for dessert! Every dish was full of flavor, and the service was excellent.
I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone looking for excellent Mexican food!“

“Such an incredible experience . Tasting menu was amazing !“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“I visited this taco spot and the food was amazing! I wasn't entirely sure what I ordered because of some unfamiliar terms on the menu, but except for the quesadilla, we tried 6 different items and every single one of them was delicious.
However, the seating is quite limited and not very comfortable. If you live close enough that your tacos won't get cold on the way, I’d highly recommend ordering takeout instead.“

“I couldn’t get a picture of anyone’s food since we all dug in right away but the food here is amazing! We had their Birria tacos, a steak meal and a steak fajitas meal—chef’s kiss! They were very kind, welcoming and family oriented here. The place is small, I will say, it’s way smaller than I expected but nonetheless, we were quickly seated and the music was good the entire time. This was a memorable experience , thank you!“

“Me and my daughter, enjoyed this restaurant so much during our Mommy and Me weekend! The atmosphere was laid back and quite relaxing. The service was superb and the food was so good, we had to order food to bring home. I would give this establishment 6 stars if I could. We were both very pleased and we will be dining here again very soon. If you have not been here, you should definitely give them a visit. Peace and Love, Chele from the Block.“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“As a picky eater and someone who has never tried vegan Mexican food, I was genuinely impressed. The dishes were amazing, I couldn’t tell it was vegan. What truly made this experience special was our waiter, Kalani they were so welcoming and kind.“

“Wow. Can’t even find the words to express how amazing this was. 100% worth everything. The service was amazing, such a sweet woman. We were well taken care of and the food is delicious. Will definitely be coming back next time we are near LIC!“

“Love the place,love the service and the lobster tacos 🌮 were amazing.“

“everything was delicious, atmosphere was fantastic, service was great. Highly recommended!“

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.“

“Best Quesabirria!“

“The food was great and tasted delicious 😋“

“I love this place and am sure to take my friends here whenever they visit. The tacos are probably the best in New York. Very authentic Mexican. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and the colors are beautiful.“

“I always enjoy stopping by for happy! The food and drinks never disappoint!! We had the steak, Al Pastor and shrimp tacos. We also had the paloma and classic margaritas. Everything was delicious. We also ordered their chicken taquitos, a must!“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“Fabulous food, drinks and service!“

“Came here with my best friend to catch up and we had a great time. The atmosphere is beautiful and the music is at the level to still be able to hold a conversation. My friend arrived before me and ordered us two margaritas and a beer to catch the happy hour prices. Then we tried the happy hour tacos. We had one of each, mushroom Al Pastor, Tinga and carnitas. I think the Al pastor isn’t bad just not my favorite vegetarian taco I’ve tried. Then the tinga surprised me - it’s actually very good and tastes very similar to what I grew up eating at home. My favorite was the carnitas taco. The tacos with the chile de árbol salsa or salsa macha is a great blend.
Then I ordered the carnitas gorditas and they were amazing - the Gordita was made made perfectly - I prefer a more crunchy Gordita than a fluffy one. My friend tried the sticky wings - they were cooked extra crispy like we asked for but the flavor wasn’t bad it was unexpected - there’s chamoy in their sauce, while they’re not bad wings they’re not great either.
The yuzu spritz truly stood out- very refreshing
The server was nice.“

“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“

“Playa Betty's has great tasting tacos and the staff and atmosphere is awesome! ❣️ frm:🇯🇵🇺🇸“

“I would just like to say that I googled this restaurant. It was the first one we went for my husbands birthday. It was the best of FOOD was amazing. The Service was ex espectacular. Lorena was on top of everything. She was a great server, friendly, fun, very attentive, and we will definitely be going back. They also we celebrate my husbands birthday there with a sombrero . I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone. It’s out of this world. They go above and beyond to make you celebrate your birthday and have a great time. I want to send a shout out to the staff to the owner. Thank you for making this day. Very special for my husband. I thank you so much. Lopez.“

“Great food. I love the agua de sandia.“

“lovely hidden gem on Avenue A between 13th and 14th streets. The place is family owned and operated and the food is to do for. It is reasonably priced, I often find myself trying to figure out if I want a tamale or a shredded beef or pork taco.“

“Comida súper autentica, deliciosa, sabrosa y los precios súper accesibles! 100% recomendado“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious!“

“I recently discovered this place, and let me tell you—wow! Literally sooooo yummy! The food is fresh and so flavorful, I literally had to call to let them know how good the food was!😭 The churros—soooo fresh and tasty, as well as the teriyaki burrito. 10/10 for me, no exaggeration!“

“Dos Toros has been my favorite fast casual Mexican for over a decade. The food has always been excellent. Further, nobody makes a tighter burrito. Shoutout to Jada today who made my burrito and perfectly! I didn’t lose a single grain of rice!“

“Loved this spot! Great food and service!“
