“Food and tamales were delicious, I wasn't a fan of the green salsa they use its a bit to tangy for me but the mole was amazing and full of flavor. They also gave me a bigger cup of coffee de oya, my favorite kind of coffee and theirs is soo good.“

“I’ve been coming here to eat since 2004 and the food is always tasty, if you want to eat a little taste of Mexico’s Authentic Tacos this is the best spot on this side of the island. Don’t expect a red carpet type of welcoming, depending of the hour of the day this place gets so busy, there’s no time for them to give you their fullest attention to describe each thing on the menu. If you want to eat inside the taco spot there’s no waiter or hostess. Order up front, eat then pay.“

Maybe a little more salt but the sopa was perfect. Churros crunchy and sweet comes with 4 and an ice cream scoop. The chocoflan is a special and they only have it sometimes. If they have it try it! Service: the restaurant owner was so kind and showed us pictures of all the foods. Inside: nice pop Mexican music, originals, and remixes. They also have outside seating.“

“Best tacos out there especially after 10 PM into the late night this is the spot! The options are great but I usually have to ask what's available, my favorite is the Barbacoa & Buche, Saudero & they have a great selection on Modelo micheladas, and other Mexican imports, the snacks hit the spot and the vibes are chill. The wait time is a while but it's also one person making all the orders, it's quality and worth every minute. I suggest ordering ahead of time if you're definitely trying to cut the wait time“

Today, we bought 3 beef empanadas, one order of Huevos Ala Mexicanan, and one Torta de Jamon (with everything). The food was extremely tasty, flavorful, and rich. The portions were big, the Oaxacan cheese on the whole was a beautiful touch, and the empanadas were stuffed full! I am so happy to have come along this quaint and conveniently located restaurant and store. We will be returning very soon.Valentina's Restaurant Store was a lovely Mexican store and restaurant.

They went above and beyond to create a fun and memorable experience for us. They cut and served a wedding cake and also played the wedding song for my parents. We had the best time and truly were so grateful to the servers for their attentiveness! We all loved our meals. The tacos were a hit and so were the quesadillas. Drinks were also tasty and they were very accommodating to offering vegetarian alternatives as well! I will absolutely recommend Anthony’s to anyone wanting to have a delicious dinner and memorable time !“

“Such an underrated Mexican food spot in Staten Island. Personally best I've tried in Staten Island. The tacos and quesadillas are my top favorite from here. The meat in their foods is tender and juicy not dry as I find most places to be. Their green salsa is a must on the tacos ! They have some seating available but it is more on the deli and grocery side. They have a large variety of foods available on the menu as well as Mexican grocery items you won't find in your local grocery store. A must try while in the Port Richmond Area!“

“I do not write 5 star reviews, but wow. I have NOT EVEN ONE complaint!I came here on a whim since I was working nearby and had bookmarked this place. I appreciate that I was acknowledged as soon as I came in and given a menu. This is my first time here so I went for the tacos and no exaggeration, they might be the top if not THE best I have ever had. I went for salted beef (cecina), steak, and chicken and let me trll you they are not stingy with the portions and it was really nice of them to add nopal (cactus) and onion on top. Their hot sauces mean business and I was especially surprised with the red.Anyway, service was super friendly, super quick, super clean and I will definitely be back. Please don't ever change!“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The service is quick and the girl working in the front is super sweet and friendly. Their dishes are also very cheap yet filling. Are usually have the steak fajitas. It comes with rice and beans, lettuce, pico, sour cream and two tortillas on the side. I recently ordered nachos with guacamole, and those were fresh, crispy and to die for! The only reason I waited there atmosphere to stars is because they’re not focused on dine in. It is an option, however, most people take out or get it delivered. Overall I love fresh tortillas and would recommend.“

The tortilla soup was to die for. The chicken wings with the dry rub were the best wings I have ever eaten. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla and the rice and beans side dish.

“First, let me say that the 3 stars for atmosphere is because it is not a restaurant "per say" but a small deli/ take out storefront that has 3 small tables to seat 10 or so people. That, by no means, detracts from the excellent food. My friend's daughter ordered steak tacos for us a few days ago and I was very impressed with the tender,tasty food and had to go there for breakfast this morning. I ordered huevos rancheros with rice and beans. The last time I had the dish prepared this way was in a small bordrr town in Texas and I really enjoyed it. Food is authentic Mexican and I will definitely be back to try other dishes.Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible unless you have help carrying chair up 3 steps. As I stated before, it is not a restaurant.“

He offered up family style meals and proceeded to have the kitchen feed us until we were stuffed. He kept asking if we wanted more of the salad, calamari, zitis, pizzas, chicken parm, or if we wanted something else. He could not have been any more accommodating. Thank you Joe and Pat’s, and thank you Sal.“

I liked that the green sauce was mildly spiced, allowing me to make it as hot as I liked rather than it being hot and spicy,which,can be a bit much for some patrons. I will definitely be back to try other dishes when I'm in the area.“
