“Just had the absolute pleasure of dining at La Casa Bronxville for the first time. Where do I start? It had been recommended to me by a couple of friends as a really unique, quality twist to the Mexican dining genre and were they ever correct. Started with the warm and friendly greeting and spacious well decored bar and dining areas. Once seated and presented with the menu - I was pleasantly suprised with the cool spin on some of the more traditional Mexican menu items (ex. Oyster soft tacos to die for - and I don't even like oysters but these were out of this world). The quality of the ingredients and food items are clearly a top priority for the management and the chef. The owner Spencer Pingle is very present and you feel it. He explained that the chips, guac and many other main items are freshly made in house daily - any wow the flavors pop!!! I can go on for quite a bit about this Westchester GEM but I will simply recommend that you go for this experience and see for yourself. Very reasonably priced for the impeccable food quality, portions and presentation. YES YES YES!!!!“
“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!!!! ???“
“I have been going to G's for over 20 years. The food is excellent. I love the breakfast burrito with chorizo, and their tortas, and their flautas. Everything thing is outstanding. They make great coffee The service is awesome. Very nice.“
“Amazing food and service! We ordered the beef nachos to share and I got the taco with steak and boy do they bless it with the portions! I was visiting and a friend brought me here so definitely would want to come back next time I’m around!“
“I've gone 2 times within the past 2 weeks and I'm hooked. You might not expect it walking in, but it's the perfect little gem for Hackensack. The taco tuesday specials are great but the delicious tacos make it more worth it. The margaritas are yummy too“
“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've been to Tobalá a couple of times since they opened, and their food, drinks, and service have always been great. But last night, they were absolutely stunning. I tried a few dishes (Memelas de Wagyu and Enmoladas de Pato) for the first time, and I was in shock, super delicious!! I want to congratulate their staff and owners for their constant effort to elevate the experience at Tobalá and improve every day, bringing this beautiful concept to the community. Definitely my favorite restaurant in the area.“
“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. We had the tacos, regular bowl with carnitas and fajita bowl with steak and pina-mango drink. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Will come back to try El Pastor. Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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 the best restaurant in whole Westchester, the burrito California, the bistec with onions and the camaronês an la plancha are amazing. Not even my mom can cook so good like that,The place is clean, the environment fantastic, the owner is always over there and comes to the table to talkThanks a lot ?Parking: There are plenty of parking spaces“
“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.“
“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.“
“Taco Taxi has undoubtedly earned its reputation for serving the best tacos in the world, delivering a culinary experience that transcends expectations. From the moment you take the first bite, you're transported into a world of explosive flavors and authentic Mexican craftsmanship. The tortillas are soft and pillowy, the meats are succulent and perfectly seasoned, and the toppings are a symphony of freshness and zest. Each taco is a work of art, meticulously prepared with a passion for quality ingredients and a deep understanding of flavor profiles. Whether you indulge in the classic carne asada, flavorful al pastor, or any other tantalizing option on the menu, Taco Taxi's commitment to perfection shines through in every savory, satisfying bite. It's not just a meal; it's a journey into taco perfection that sets Taco Taxi apart as a true gem in the world of culinary delights.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“2/7/2024I have never been to a Bubbakoo's location, so my friend and I did not know what to expect. Walking in, the space felt very welcoming, and were greeted by smiles by the staff! I decided to get the Mango Habanero Salad with the hard shell base. It was love at first bite.. the salad had the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and the juices from the meat were very savory. My friend got a quesadilla with chicken; she is sensitive to spice.. and the staff were very understanding and avoided adding any spice. I took a bite of her quesadilla and I loved it!I regret not asking for their names, but the man with the arm tattoos went above and beyond with his customer service! He even gave us a free dessert- and that was also very delicious!As you may note, I have never written a review.. that is how amazed we are by the service this location has given to us. Bubbakoo's has gained two VERY LOYAL customers to their New City location.. and I hope everyone gets to try the very delicious TRULY Mexican Fusion and meet the very friendly staff! THANK YOU!!!!“
“You'll leave this place struggling to walk, they give big portions! Also, this is AUTHENTIC Mexican food. We've done lots of traveling and that's something hard to come by away from home (California). The woman who served us was helpful and made sure we had all we needed. This place is on the smaller side but there's some tables where we can sit down and enjoy your food fresh. Highly recommend.“
“I don’t go to the Bronx enough ?. Anyway, I only had an empanada de queso and a tamale shared with a friend. I wasn’t hungry but rather just more curious and feeding curiosity more than the tummy.My review is for the kind service. I appreciate the people who allowed my friend and I to sit and catch up over a snack. ? Kind service goes a long way.Foodwise, I enjoyed the empanada and empanada. Tamale was a bit too mushy for my taste— I like firm tamales, but it was good green sauce.“
“Amazing trays of 30 tacos and all veggies on the side! Plus we grabbed some Empanadas too! Today was the perfect day for us to try them since we were right at the mall! The owner was too sweet and brought us all kinds of things to try while we were waiting! The Biria was to die for and he brought us this Mexican Pizza absolutely mouthwatering! It is inside the gas station across from the Palisades! Seriously such good authentic Mexican food! He says you can even call and ask what his special is. He tries different things every week! Let's support a small local business! La Fondita Jarocha“
“We've been coming to this 100% Gluten free restaurant for about a year now. The food is always delicious. The service is fantastic. They provide great service with a smile and relax atmosphere. My son needs to eat Gluten free and he loves coming to eat here. The burrito, enchiladas, and yucca fries are delicious. The chicken and steak fajita is very good. My son loves the chicken tenders and fries, my daughter loves the beef tacos. This is a great GF restaurant. I definitely recommend.“
“I went earlier today(01/15/2023), and this has become my most "NEW FAVORITE HISPANIC FOOD PLACE." The service and hospitality are extremely outstanding. The staff is patient and understanding if you're new and friendly enough to suggest some of the locals' favorites. They have some amazing specials. I loved that the staff was open to customization and embraced my creativity nature. Despite me currently visiting from Las Vegas, NV, I was blown away by the burrito I customized. Granted, it isn't my own creation, although a recreation of an already well-known burrito with accommodation due to my lactose intolerance. It still impressed me for a California style burrito to taste so flavorful without any cheese or sour cream. Even the complimentary chips and salsa were beautifully made. I can't forget about the Orchata as well. It is the best damn Orchta's I ever had! This place is definitely a locals hidden gem that wowed me away. You can tell that a lot of care and love definitely goes into each meal that is created in their kitchen, and this is rare to come by nowadays! I plan to come back before I fly out to. See you soon and keep up the marvelous work! ( :“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“
“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!“

“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 ?“
“Excellent alternative to Chipotle!80% of the time I get their Nashville hot chicken burrito or bowl. This is better than Chipotle for following reasons.1. More flavors/options for your tastebuds.2. I like their reward program better than what other similar chains have.3. Excellent digital experience, easy to use app and on-time pickup. A notification about the ready pickup would be a nice to have.4. They give good portion of meat in your order.5. They also serve wings and deserts.Place is clean and is located in a nice small strip mall..!“
“Ordered a quick snack... Chicken empanadas... Crispy and stuffed... And the poblano molé inside and on the side was savory sweet and delicious.So good. Need more next time!The loaded nachos were definitely loaded....And a very good size.Took less than 20 minutes from order to delivery.Next time will be trying the birria tacos!Thank you!“
“I love this restaurant I come here for breakfast lunch and dinner I order the carnitas burrito for lunch and dinner and the steak and eggs burrito for breakfast every time it is delicious and fresh. What I appreciate most is that with your burrito they give you the veggies on the side so you can eat them with the burrito and in my opinion it is amazing I frequent this place all the time I highly recommend, the staff are extremely friendly and the restaurant is beautiful. I don’t usually leave reviews but this place is my favorite so I felt an obligation to get the word out. Anyways try this restaurant asap it is truly amazing and very quick as well even when eating inside I usually get my food in less than 15mins“
“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! ❤️“
“This place is GOOD. I've only ordered takeout but every time I order, the food comes promptly, correctly, and nice and hot. I've gotten their churro French toast, chilaquiles with salsa verde, pancakes, and birra quesadillas. I don't have a single complaint about any of it, really so yummy and amazing. It tastes like your mom is cooking for you and putting all her love into the food. You really can't go wrong with their food!“
“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!“
“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..“
“We were hungry on a drive up state and stopped here because of the great reviews. Being originally from a city with great Mexican food we were totally sure what to expect here. As you can see from the five stars, we were impressed. The service was quick and friendly. The food was amazing. We got some pastor & lengua tacos a plate with cheese enchiladas, steak, rice, beans & plantains. The tortillas were handmade and so delicious. All the meat was *chefs kiss*. I never knew I could love rice and beans (often bland and dry) like this! The margarita was also super yummy! Overall, we loved everything we ate. We would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a tasty authentic Mexican spot.“
“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!“
“Food at the restaurant is good with the drinks are absolutely by far amazing the owner Laura is so kind and so sweet. She does such amazing work with her business. I recommend definitely coming to try the drinks whether you want to have them with alcohol or without alcohol.“
“It's the first time boy !!! And it won't be the last one ☺️the food is very good delicious ? the place is small but very good the owners are friendly they have a very good quality of food I highly recommend this place ? ???☺️☺️“
“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.“
“This gem of a restaurant has earned its place as my all-time favorite Mexican spot in NYC. Not only does it serve up some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine I've had the pleasure of tasting, but it also pairs this culinary excellence with truly outstanding service. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between welcoming familiarity and a lively, fun atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you're here for the exceptional food, the top-notch service, or to indulge in what might just be the perfect Margarita, its location near Van Cortlandt Park adds an extra layer of appeal. This is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of Mexican dining in the city.“
“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.“
“Tried this restaurant last night and I was impressed! The food was delicious. I had the barbacoa street tacos the meat was delicious. The rice and beans was delicious. The drinks were good. The music was good. A great vibe and I will be back to try some more of my faves. We sat at the bar and it was a good experience.“
“Dinner at Zapata’s is always a fantastic meal. When entering you’re always greeted by the owners who are so happy to see you and are very welcoming. Recently they’ve added weekly special entrees which are fantastic, not your basic taco, although they are delish too. My wife and I have eaten both in the dining room and at the bar, both are great but we always enjoy the experience with Christian, the head bartender. He is young and energetic and manages all the cocktails for the resturant and bar. His drinks are spot on and delicious. When eating in the dining room it won’t disappoint and if you happen to have Carlos as your waiter be sure to say Mr. Chris sent you.“
