“Súper riquísimo todo y el ambiente laboral muy bien“

“I've been to a lot of Salvadoran Restaurants and El Vicentino is my favorite. 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 👍 🇸🇻 🇺🇸“

“Amazing food and service. 1000% recommend.“

“Just wow! Having been to Taqueria Ramirez, I already knew the tacos at Carnitas Ramirez weren’t going to let me down. And they certainly didn’t! Every taco I had was outstanding. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the corn tortillas were top notch. There’s also a nice assortment of salsas and toppings at a DIY counter so you can dress them up however you like. Everyone was super friendly too. Absolutely worth the trip, and I can’t wait to return.“

“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.“

“💥💥💥💥💥 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 !“

“They have the best tacos and burritos“

“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.“

“First - this food is incredible. Spent a lot of time in Houston, ATX, MX, and other taco strongholds. This is more than on par with the best of all of them. Also, fast and fresh.

Second - customer service at both locations is top-tier, from the leadership to the front-of-house.

I was hesitant to write this because I loathe waiting in lines and fear blowing up a cherished spot (that’s already famous - you get it), but I believe in giving credit and celebrating where it’s due. And here, it certainly is.“

“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. 😋“

“I really enjoyed this restaurant! It was my first time eating there and my friend and I loved our meals. The tortilla chips were fresh and came with multiple types of salsa, all of which were delicious. That was a nice surprise! We both got chilaquiles off the brunch menu and they were amazing. The service was fantastic as well and the vibe inside was great. I would highly recommend Mayahuel!“

“great tasting food also good service and environment“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

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

“Riley and Elizabeth did a great job helping us understand the scope of the menu and what we could enjoy based of our dietary restrictions. I can tell the restaurant is well managed and the servers/bar keep that same beat. This is a can’t miss spor“

“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!“

“I love love love when I leave a restaurant and think… wow I was truly taken care of. But it’s not often I feel obligated to write a review. Start to finish, Lily was attentive, warm, knowledgeable of the menu and sincere. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Best Quesabirria!“

“I had a great experience here! The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly, attentive. The food was great too, but the outstanding service is what really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place!“

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

“Found this place online. We ordered chilaquiles con salsa verde , French toast & iced cafe de olla. The place gives a Mexican home style atmosphere. It’s a small space & got busy after 11:30am on a Saturday. We got seated quickly. The chilaquiles were shareable and had a mild spicy. The French Toast was MASSIVE and shareable. The crust was slightly too toasted making it a bit difficult to cut through. The arrangement of fruit was nice tho. They added mango which was a nice touch. The cafe con olla does well iced and definitely has the olla taste. Highly recommend the chilaquiles con steak y salsa verde. The staff were very friendly.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food here was very high quality. As there was only one vegetarian option, it was still tasty and amazing to try because of how fresh the ingredients were, the high quality temperature, and the presentation. We got the mushroom tacos and a quesadilla with added pico de gallo, fresh herbs. The quality of the tortilla was fresh, the people were friendly, and the ordering process was smooth through through the kiosk. Since we went in the winter it was freezing but they were nice enough to add a heating fan. The best part about this place and selling point as we all know is the atmosphere. Since the taco spot is a quick eat N go, the keg stands as mini standing tables was very clever and aesthetic. Will come back if I ever am in the area and drunk 🤪“

“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.“

“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!“

“This place rocks. Drinks are interesting and really fabulous. My friend and I shared amazing octopus in this rich, beautiful sauce and a stellar guacamole to start. They also served a really wonderful warm salsa with homemade chips. And then we had an incredible molcajete which I don’t have words for. I’ve live in NYC for 18 years and I never write reviews. Hands down best Mexican I can remember in New York. Undiscovered gem. 6 stars“

“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.“
