“The food was excellent, well worth the wait.
Service was good but could be better. Servers should understand if they smile more often and use friendly conversation, they are more likely to get a larger tip.
The noise level was the only negative. The guests around us were mainly diners in their 20's. People dont need to shout and almost scream to have a good conversation. I felt like my ears ringing as we departed.“

“I was starving and near by and a burrito i knew would cure what ails me.

Got the birria burrito, thing was huge, came with consume and was amazing. Felt like it was made with love. Chips and a coke and I don't need to eat got the rest of the day.

10 out of 10, would totally stop by here again. Not even just because I am starving.“

“If you want fajitas that actually resemble the ones you’d get in Texas, this is the only place in NYC worth considering. Skirt steak, cooked over an open flame, and served a perfect medium-rare. Accept no impostors.

The queso is very much on par with what you’d get at a Ninfa’s. Pricing is remarkably reasonable across the board. This is quickly becoming my favorite spot in NYC.“

“This was my first visit here, and I was truly touched by how wonderful the food was. Xavier, the GM, was so thoughtful and generous; he kindly let us enjoy happy hour. I want to especially thank Alveero, the waiter, who treated us with such warmth and made us feel truly valued. I really appreciate all the effort you put into making our experience special. I highly recommended 🌹Thank you.🤗“

“Good service, good live music.“

“good chilaquiles in the city“

“Delicious and unique items available on the menu. The staff, food, and environment and overall experience were 10/10. Definitely check it out!“

“The food is AMAZING!!! I love the tortilla soup ❤️“

“My first visit was last year and yesterday we decided to go again since indoor dining was reopening. We were a group of three, friendly staff and our host went above and beyond at a point that coffee was not in the menu and he made it for us. We ordered margaritas and were on point, fajitas, Mac and cheese, churros, beer, chips with salsa and many other things. Every single thing was good. Me personally never ordered Mac and cheese on a restaurant and I have to go hands down on your chef because that was the best one I’ve had in a while. To everybody: make sure you support local restaurants like this one, and tip well for their service, they really need it and the quality of their service hasn’t go down even on a pandemic. Support Lobo!!!!!“

“I had a great experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The tacos were packed with meat, seasoned well. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. The portions were generous for the price, and everything tasted homemade. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food.“

“Seriously good home style chili from awesome peeps.“

“Great food! we go every time we are in the city.“

“I have had ALL of their tacos over the years, and I mainly recommend the birria and carnitas, also the mushroom & cheese for vegetarians. Their prices are great and the tacos I mentioned are delicious. I also tried their colada for the first time and it was amazing and extra strong. Shout out to Jacqueline for going above & beyond to make sure our orders are great.“

“I’m getting those three stars because I’ve eaten here before and the food was better (had decent burritos here). But today I ordered something different. To be fair, I only ate the nachos which were shared. But they were really bad. The cheese was liquid, the “sour cream“ was liquid, the chips disintegrated. It was worse than a Taco Bell, nacho Bell grande, which can be quite delicious given the right circumstances. I just don’t think there are any circumstances under which he nachos would be acceptable.“

“Incredible food with great service! One of the hidden gems in NYC!“

“This is the best Mexican food I’ve found in NYC so far. At least as far as burritos go. I get the Acapulco burrito (which has no meat). It’s still not like mexican food in the south west, but I love it and keep going back. Very fast preparation.“

“Worst food i ever eat , low quality meat ! Nothing good there, worst experience ever!“

“increible servicio comida muy deliciosa lugar muy agradable“

“This place is definitely a sleeper. When you’re hungry Tex mex food just hits different. I won’t lie, they don’t do the best wrap jobs on the burritos and the meat be dry sometimes, but honestly the flavoring is good. The price is okay, they be wanting almost 4 dollars for a taco.“

“I had one of their tacos for the first time today and it was indeed Delicious!“

“exelente atención todo el tiempo“

“Nice bar, good selection, billiards and darts.“

“Lemme make something clear for yall… the couple who run this place is kind and lovely, yes the prices on the wall need to be updated… just ask the person in the front of those prices are correct 🤷‍♂ or order off of seamless… this is their take on Mexican food… it’s not going to be authentic lol and another thing the food taste good and is pretty priced good if you see the prices on the menu… you get a lot of bang for your buck. That’s all that needs to be said, if you order online it’s pretty quick.“

“I finally came here to try the famous crispy tacos, and my first bite was literally, “Whoa!” They were crispy, fresh, and so delicious. I also ordered a chicken bowl, which was very tasty with a generous portion.

I’ll definitely be back to try more items. I honestly don’t understand why the rating isn’t higher. Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, great food—a true hidden gem!“

“Great Tacos 🌮 Thank you For your excellent Service“

“The owner of the restaurant is the nicest person I have ever met. She is like a sweet Chinese aunt who always cares about you. She gifted me traditional Chinese calendar as new year gifts. She really warmed me so much and reminded me of my family, especially when I struggled all alone in a foreign country. She is always smiling and calling you “my dear”. The food is amazing. Fried chicken is so juicy, fresh and crispy.“

“bartenders are wonderful and Barbara is doing a great job of managing“

“Karaoke, dinner and drinks always makes a great time better.“

“Hello 👋 I have also been coming here since I was a teenager. The kitchen is always very clean and the food is also very good quality tender steak and real chicken. I always get the steak burrito or combo lunch platter. Prices are affordable and very friendly husband and wife family run restaurant. Its way better than taco bell 🔔 in my opinion you cant really compare this place to a fast food chain but if your looking for fresh good tasting food this is a good choice.“

“Great local takeout spot for tex mex food. Filling, good taste, inexpensive and friendly people. The enchiladas, chimichangas and combo dish are my go to. Also really like the chorizo taco and black bean taco, black and pinto beans with rice.Even the American food is pretty good, especially if youre trying to decide what to order with a picky eater: burgers, onion rings, chicken or steak sandwiches.Try the fried apple sticks..“

“I recently visited Wonder and was seriously impressed. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor—exactly what you hope for but don’t always get. The variety is also a huge standout; there are so many great options that it’s hard to choose just one.

Everything felt well-executed and consistent, which speaks to a strong operation behind the scenes. The quality was noticeable in every bite, and nothing felt rushed or overlooked. It’s the kind of place you can count on when you want something satisfying and done right. If you’re in the area and want quality food without compromise, this spot absolutely delivers.“

“Writing this as of 7/28/26

THEY NEED TO FIX THE AIR CONDITIONING!!!

It was extremely hot to eat in the restaurant, and I feel terrible for the workers who have to go an entire shift without AC.

Taco Bell Corporate please fix the AC for the customers and workers.“

“Asked for a torta with enchilada pork at 8:30 am. They quickly and efficiently accommodated a request they likely don’t get at that hour. The torta was absolutely excellent and I’ve had a hundred or more after overtime a decade in so cal and Mexico. They do it right. Will be back.“

“Just had some fantastic food here, very comfortable atmosphere and great service, thank you“

“We moved here about a few months ago and I had to write a review for Sonya and her team. We've been to many Moe's in Jersey and New York but this is the best Moe's by far! The service and food is fantastic! Their customer service is excellent and they always make us feel welcomed. The food here is wonderful! You can tell everything they make is so fresh. We love eating here every other week. I truly hope they get the credit they deserve because they get an A+++++ from us! Great job Sonya and her team at Edgewater, NJ! Thank you for always taking such great care of us!“

“My friends, staff, and I have been to this place months ago and that one of my friends ordered nacho supreme, which had nacho cheese, guacamole, and many others. The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was people eating there, taking orders and many other things.“

“I love love love this place. The staff is very kind. They speak very fluently and there is never a problem with your order. They are polite and I love the food. They even deliver to some places you think they won’t. The reason they don’t get the full five stars is because the restaurant needs a paint job. The fish are beautiful but the paint is old and it takes away from the restaurant just a little. Not the taste tho the food is on point.“

“Our server Jason G. Was amazing, he helped my son n I with our meal selections and what great choices. the beef short rib tacos with the aujus sauce was so juicy and flavorful. And the burger my son said was delicious n packed full of flavor along with his chez fries! Our fresh quac and chips was great with my passion fruit Marg! Jason was very kind and chatted with my boy about our trip into the city and made sure to take great care of him and his time at dos carminos! Thank you Jason G for treating us like family !! our next trip to the city we will be back to visit again!!“

“Beach burrito spot with tasty food and generous portions. My girl and I love it. Since our first order, we've been getting ot at least once a week. I tear through my burrito but the bowls are enough for 2 meals for my girl. Haven't enjoyed a burrito this much since Alberto's in California when I lived there.“

“My husband love the food.the server is friendly.“

“The food is good and the delivery is great. You can except your food to be delivered quickly. The only thing is that the women who takes your order over the phone doesn’t speak or understand English. My orders are always wrong. Either she forgets to pack my sodas or I’m missing things. Make her repeat your order always!!“

“I order here all the time and their food is delicious me and my son loves it . They can add some seasoning to their rice but other than that . Everything is good . I normally get Alpastor , chicken quesadilla and breakfast They make the best breakfast to me .The prices are a little steep but its worth it .“

“Delicious Mexican food, I had a good meal with my family, Thankss“

“Never disappoints! Order from here once a week and its always good :)

Vegetarian options: They offer Broccoli and white rice combos etc.

Kid-friendliness: They have a children's menu and if you are a picky eater, they can customize the platter to your liking !“

“Ignore any one star reviews. This is by far some of the best and most hearty mexican food I’ve had. The prices are reasonable but the food and portions are more than worth it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a no frills good eats.“

“Great amazing food. Order take out and they delivery.“
