“A one of a kind area for Mexican cuisine. I been to other areas, but the entrees on the this menu is superb based on taste. I enjoy and recommend The Locos Doritos Taco and The Chessy Gorditto Crunch. The food is delivered fast and the staff is friendly. I'll see you @ Taco Bell, Elmsford, NY soon..“
“This restaurant beat every expectation. Honestly, I am not a huge fan of Mexican cuisine Margaritas withstanding.La Casa completely has turned me into a fan.We traveled from Manhattan to dine with friends. It will now make the trip just for La Casa.“
“Love! Love! Love! I come atleast once a week for the last 2 years! it’s a friendly environment and the fooood is everything. Yonkers finest margaritas for sure I highly recommend ask for pavel she’s definitely the best bartender!!!! ???“
“Golden Service!!! Beautiful shop, Amazing Food and Churros to die for!!!!Divinely led to Don Chuy’s Tacos. Amazing Street Corn and Guac your world. Taco Bowl salad was divine with Shrimp and a chicken Quesadillas deliciously Made. Overall Amazing!!!!!!“
“This is the best place to get Mexican food in yonkers, I've tried a lot of places in the area but nothing comes close to here. I've had Tacos Al Pastor, Tacos Dorados and Enchiladas de Mole Poblano. They also make incredible in house hot sauces. The only thing they do not have is any hard liquor on site, so don't expect margaritas but the food is enough to satisfy anyone, come check out this hidden gem in Yonkers!“
“The owner of this restaurant, Victor, is the main star here. I have never met a restaurant owner that has shown such incredible hospitality like Victor has. He is incredible and the main reason we will always come back. The food is outstanding as well. The shrimp enchiladas are my go to every time. The shrimp is always cooked perfectly and cut into small pieces which I love. The sauce on the enchiladas is so flavorful and delicious that I dip my chips in it as well. My boyfriend loves the burrito! He gets it every time as well. The restaurant is cozy and has a rei Mexican authentic feel to it. We're so grateful to have Victor and his amazing restaurant so close to us!“
“I ordered two beef steak quesadillas with the flour taco and those were absolutely fantastic!! Tender bits of steak, and a green chile sauce and a red hot sauce served in small plastic cups to pour all over these heavenly dishes! Enter the Tacos; I want you guys to know that you cannot order just ONE taco, they need to be ordered two at a time. So if you want just ONE taco they won't sell it to you! I ordered two chicken tacos and two steak (carnitas) tacos WITHOUT CILANTRO ! I'm allergic to cilantro. They did a great job of cleaning the stove top before they prepared and heated my food order. Also I told them my wife is allergic to pork, (she's Muslim & it's just easier to tell chefs at these type of establishments that my wife has "allergies" to any pork products. The Tacos were good. Not amazing, but satisfying. I then ordered the chicken fingers which came with a HUGE portion of hot, steamy, French fries! The fries were fried to perfection and the potato flavor was not overpowered by the oil it was fried in. The fries were pretty much perfection. The chicken fingers were square pieces of fried chicken covered in a dark brown bread crumb with some green herbs in the bread crumbs that I could not identify. I didn't like the chicken fingers. They were not what I was expecting. The breading was not tasty and there were short and stubby cuts of flat chicken. I didn't like the looks or the taste. All of this came out to 41$ and some change. I thought overall the food, minus the chicken fingers was fresh- well prepared - and appetizing. The price is a little steep for my pockets. So I probably wouldn't be going here all the time because of pricing alone. Overall the place is very clean and the food appears to be fresh and delicious; but skip the chicken fingers.... Buon Provecho! Buon Appetito!“
“Really an excellent place! I highly recommend you go here! Diego and his family were really welcoming. It's a family run business, and you can tell - the food's great! You can find parking easily on the street. The flavors were excellent, especially the home made sauces. Everything was good! There's seating inside, too.“
“This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant at this moment. The food is delicious, even our toddlers devour the food I love the steak quesadillas!The drinks are also top notch. The beat Frozen Passion Fruit Margarita, hands down!You don't want to miss this place! They will treat you like family!“
“Finally a really delicious taco place in the area. The service was great, the lady at the register was so nice, friendly and helpful. We ordered to take home, had planned on eating inside but there was no heat inside. My wife had Birria Tacos and a Quesabarria, she really enjoyed them both, especially the Tacos. I had the crunchy Taco and Quesadillas, both were very good. The crunchy Taco was so good, this place really knows how to make Tacos. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend trying. Also ordered churros, but didn't try yet.“
“Visiting family in Westchester from Los Angeles - Molcajete definitely passed the bar. The shrimp was big, juicy and fresh, the steak (we got the Molcajete, so it came with everything) was a nice cut and well cooked. Salsas were all super tasty and the guac was legit. Only slight LA pickiness is that it was missing the nopal.“
“Nice local owned restaurant serving Mexican and Peruvian cuisine. The server was very sweet and friendly. Definitely try their local inca drinks. Mine was made with Passion fruit. It was so refreshing and good. Loved their ceviche had a great kick of spice and lemon to it. Also the salted steak was very good too. Portions were large so i wrapped half of my meal to take home.“
“Umm I come about once a week now. One of the employees almost knows my order on site. LOL does that mean I go too often? The food is soo good & the service is spectacular. My only issue is deciding which day of the week I'm going to go. Give them a try I promise you'll love them.“
“Stopped here on a lazy Saturday evening still looking for really good Mexican food. Everything we had was excellent. Tacos, guac, horchata and pambazo which I had never had before. I wish the restaurant was closer to home. Service was good but we were the only ones in the spot. Would definitely return again.“
“This place is AMAZING! It is unique and authentic - everything is fresh, and their quesadilla (made with corn / masa is very unique but incredible).Their salsas are perfect on everything they make and the tacos are some of the best I've had (chorizo is my favorite thus far but all have been good). Looking forward to going here and ordering from Uber eats again.“
“Stumbled here waiting for my car at dealership. I saw the rating and was sold. We dined in. Let me tell you. Get the damn chicken quesadilla!!! It is absolutely delicious. The moment I took a bite and felt the cloudy texture of the right amount of cheese, meat and tortilla. Incredible find. Their steak burrito was filled with a boat load of meat. Highly satisfied. I’m coming here again for sure.“
“After a miscommunication with our reservation time for 15 of us, Eliseo went out of his way to accommodate us as best he could. Dinner was wonderful, everything everyone ordered was delicious. I had the Korean tacos and they were so good. They also make the guac right in front of the table and was delicious, you get to choose if you want spicy or not. Highly recommend this place if you want to indulge in some Mexican food with a Mariachi band that takes requests on a Friday night. Our server Jay was a delight and he was extremely attentive to our every need. The decorations were beautiful! I loved it here and will be coming back soon!“
“I discovered this gem via a google search and needed a same day order for 16 people. They open early and when I called they were SO helpful and confirmed they could have the food ready later that day. The food was neatly packaged and hot when picked up. The group loved everything - burritos; tacos; quesadillas; guacamole; and pico de gallo. Food was authentic and delicious - highly recommend!!!“
“Don't let the fact that this place is in a gas station fool you. This place is a hidden gem of Rockland. A real hole in the wall. A must try. Food is amazing and the staff is so friendly. This is definitely my new go to place for tacos.“
“We love coming to WTG, food and drinks are always delish!!! We have been coming here for a long time and we must say Carson is the best waitress we’ve encountered! She is beyond sweet and very attentive. Jerry the manager who has been here for a long time is also great. Always checking on customers. Keep up the good work!“
“Really amazing food, nice kids menu. Food was amazing. They give really good nachos and salsa. Informal but great service, incredible food and affordable. Tastes like genuine Mexican cuisine. Highly recommended!Kid-friendliness: Went with my son, had a great affordable kids menu with big delicious portions.“
“Went in to grab lunch at this local place, the atmosphere was very warm, and welcoming. The owners are super kind and sweet. I ordered a personal chicken pizza ($10) and it was super delicious and the dough was chewy and amazing. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and made with love.My new favorite lunch spot!“
“Amazing authentic Mexican/ Salvadoran cuisine. Three of us tried: 1) torta milanesa - chicken was tender and the bread was soft, very filling, we brought half home, 2) seafood soup- so much seafood (crab, fish, shrimp, mussels, squid, clam) and huge- very big, good to share among 3 people if you're sampling lots of dishes, 3) birria tacos which were flavorful and fresh (didn't come with consommé), 4) al pastor tacos, touch of sweetness, 5) pork, cheese, beans papusa (very filling, we shared 1, 6) guacamole which was presented in a traditional bowl and wasn't too spicy and 7) a elote tamale but haven't tried it yet bc we were so full so we packed it to-go. Service was good and the place had fun music videos playing. We would gladly come back. Everything was fresh, tasty and affordable.“
“My wife and I stopped in tonight to get some dinner and we were extremely happy with the food and the service. Everything was made super fresh, fast and it was delicious! Literally everything was amazing! Even the hot sauce was perfectly balanced and tasted fresh. We will be back again soon! Thank you so much!“
“Great and diverse menu served in an organized fashion with cheerful staff! Couldn't ask for anything better! Oh wait, they also have a fantastic selection of Mexican sodas. AND they have delicious and homemade Mexican popsicles (Paletas) that came in so many wonderful flavors. Would absolutely recommend this place, located in a convenient spot in downtown Chappaqua with free parking behind the restaurant. Definitely check this place out!“

“Fun atmosphere & Delicious Authentic Mexican food..Kid-friendliness: Kids are Welcomed & have Yummy deserts for kids..Parking: Beekman, side street non paid parking..Wheelchair accessibility: It’s street level.. Easy in & out..“
“Our friends, family and I (group of 12) went there on Sunday evening. It was our second time and it was even better than the last time! Friendly service, and great food! Everything we ordered was yum all the way to the desert. We already promised to ourselves we will be back next month already. Worth a trip! (We drive approx 40 min) Michas gracias ?“
“My Fiance and I have been looking for a place close by that has good, truly authentic Dominican food and Maria did not disappoint! We both got the pernil with rice, beans, and maduros - everything was full of flavor and FRESH. Portions were also more than plenty, we ended up bringing our leftovers home. Chips and salsas were also complimentary and just as tasty! Maria was so sweet and attentive, and took the time to chat and get to know us. She mentioned having breakfast available and we will def be returning soon to try it out!“
“Amazing! Did not expect to visit New York and find some of the best Mexican food I've ever had! Enchiladas are my favorite and every new restaurant I try, I always get it; these are likely the best I've ever had! So much depth and flavor. My husband loved his wild mushroom quesadilla and the sauce with it paired so well. The churros and sauce were perfect! Cannot recommend this place enough!“
“This spot is small, but the food is totally worth it! Everything we tried was delicious ... Horchata, Birria French Fries with Hot Sauce, Milanesa de Res Torta, Carne Adobada Torta, Tres Leches Pancakes, and Churros French Toast. Seating is their only problem, with about 9-10 seats at their counter and two tables that can seat only two people. So if you're small party, it works or do take out (which was humming). Definitely look forward to going back!“
“This place just opened up and its so clean and cozy inside. Everyone is so friendly. And the food? Absolutely delicious. It was authentic and very fairly priced. I had the burrito bowl and you get more that what you paid for!! I am certainly coming back for more.“
“I had lunch yesterday with my daughter and her toddler. Valentino was our amazing server. He could not have been more helpful, kind, or quick (which was very appreciated)! The food is always excellent! I’ve had both lunch and dinner there and have always been very happy. I highly recommend it! ❤️“
“We had the most amazing experience eating at this place. The food was phenomenal. Specially, that yucca and Tostones. What made this experience the most memorable was the outstanding customer service we received from Josh. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great time and really paid attention to the details. We would definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend everybody go to this place!“
“The BEST Mexican we’ve had so far in Westchester. Very cool vibe and decor - especially the chairs and dishes. The guac was fresh, the enchiladas were uniquely crispy with an addicting green sauce, and the birria was incredibly rich and well spiced. For dessert, we got the flan. So rich and creamy - almost cheesecake like. Our server was also very nice. We will be back!“
“We stopped in for lunch after not having been in for many years. No reason other than we seldom think of it because there are several other Mexican places closer to us. We really enjoyed it. It's not a large menu, but it's got enough variety. The food and drinks were excellent, and the service was comfortable - attentive without being rushed or overbearing. Atmosphere seems authentic and is also very comfortable. We enjoyed a terrific lunch for a around the same price we would have paid for a sandwich and fries some place else. We left very satisfied and looking forward to our next visit.“
“There were two other locations. The one in north Yonkers unfortunately closed but the Riverdale site (and this one) are still going strong. Great happy hour, solid plates, and great service. Drinks are well done. Parking can be a problem and there aren’t many tables when the place is popular, but worth it.“
“5 stars for offering super healthy food in the Rivertowns! The menu has expanded and now includes fajita bowls served in lovely earthenware. The atmosphere has become cozy with soft lighting and beautiful flower filled vases on each table. Great value and service. It was busy on a Tuesday evening; this is good news for anyone searching for healthy delicious food in the area.“
“Not familiar with the area so I just picked from the phone map app. Brought us to a busy street, with a lot of eateries and so much Halloween decor. Coco's is a small place, with 3 tables and a window seating area for 3 people. But, so many people going in and out. Luckily, there was a table when we got there. We ordered at the counter and someone brought the food to our table. Pretty big menu so we tried some food which were new to us. Pancita is a red, spicy soup with tripe, served with soft tortillas. Seemed like a soup with a lot of chili-type oil so wasn't for me; I just ate the tripe pieces with rice and beans and I liked that better. Chimichanga was fried, filled with a lot of shredded beef and cheese - a bit salty so needed to eat with the salad and rice and beans it came with. Lengua tacos were ok, no distinct flavor or texture for me. Elote de la esquina was boiled corn (not grilled) with a generous amount of cotija cheese and red pepper but was neither too salty or too spicy, which was good for me. Smart to put in a tall plastic drink container.Street parking - we were lucky to find one nearby though.“
“Finding QUALITY AUTHENTIC mexican food is hard in Rockland. But this place checks all the marks. No random peas or lettuce in dishes that dont have it. Great salsa verde (sometimes it is a bit spicy, so careful folks). Delicious chilaquiles. Great torta. Hand squeezed orance juice. This is a hidden gem. Somewhat easy to park.“
“My visit to Rio Bravo Tacos after work, accompanied by a coworker, turned out to be a delightful experience. Despite not frequently traveling to Larchmont, the warm and friendly demeanor of the staff at Rio Bravo Tacos made a lasting impression on me. The food was fantastic, offering a genuine taste of the flavors that make such establishments popular.The positive energy of the place, combined with the quality of the meal, created an ambiance that was both welcoming and enjoyable. It's rare to find a spot where everything from the service to the food aligns so well to enhance your dining experience. This visit has certainly placed Rio Bravo Tacos on my list of preferred dining locations.I am already looking forward to returning, ensuring that it will be my top choice for future outings with my coworker. The excellent meal and vibrant energy provided by the staff have made me eager to experience it all over again. Thank you, Rio Bravo Tacos, for such a memorable dining experience.“
“Geraldo knows how to serve his customers... he's very kind & knows how to talk about his excellent homemade food...I ordered mole-cemita-chalupas from my son's world tour...backpackNus...!!!Parking: Go around the corner & you'll find 2hr street parking...!!!“
“By far the best slice I've had in a long time. I had to come back and update my review. The new management here is what I like to call progress to our neighborhood. I love the fact that it's still the same taste from high school with familiar faces progressing. Well actually idk if it's me but it taste even better...... I wish you guys the best in all endeavors. I been eating here since class of 06 Lincoln high.“
“Great little Hispanic deli, just finished their lunch special w chicken that was priced fair. "Think it was 13 or $14 with a drink". If your a hot sauce guy, ask for their red sauce, they must make it there, but my God it hits a spot“
“Extremely happy with the service. I ordered 120 tacos for my party with one day notice and Juan and his team did an amazing job. The food was delivered fresh & hot and everyone at the party raved about the how delicious the tacos were. Definitely using them again since they provided an impeccable service.“
“Basing my review on the taco salad but it's so good that it deserves its own review. It's such a massive salad, with such a great portion and fresh ingredients. The mango vinaigrette is absolutely delicious. I usually get it to go, and while they haven't mastered the art of packing this massive salad up yet, I absolutely suggest it!“
“The Taco Project is a cool restaurant. Loved the vibe and the food was pretty good.Food: So, let's taco 'bout this place! I dove into the Chili Shrimp and Mexican Corn Tacos, while my buddy tackled the Birria Bowl. The shrimp had some killer flavors, especially after I added a squirt of salsa verde for that extra kick. Only gripe? Wish they offered singles so I could mix it up. And those tortillas? Super tasty, but man, double 'em up next time to avoid the messy "blowout" situation. He loved the Birra Bowl. Super filling and satisfying. I also like that they have Margaritas, a nice surprise.Now, onto service: These guys were the real MVPs. Despite the fast-casual setup, they kept tables clean and were all over the dining area like pros.Vibe-wise? Cool as a cucumber. Digging the décor and that sunny corner spot, even on a gloomy day. Great place to chill and chow down.They have one in Stamford, where I have a client, so I will give that location a try as well.Date of Visit: 20 March 2024“
“Panchito's is our new go-to Taco and Burrito spot. Francisco, the owner, and his staff go out of their way to be friendly and really take pride in their business which shines through in every interaction. The food is great, and we will keep coming back.Kid-friendliness: Remembers my kids name, and is very kind to our family.“
“The food is great I can’t even complain! It’s jus the lady server is ver rude and disrespectful to certain “Black” customers and that’s not right! She’s very racist and I will tell her that to her face, I jus wanted to document this review especially for her so when she sees it she can appreciate business from Black people like myself!“
“The food is great. Authentic. Owner and team make you feel at home.This is on the top of my must go to places when I am in Westchester!The place is home style, not fancy - enjoy it ?Parking: Parking directly across the street. No charge at night.“
