“Los Tamales de Martita son los mejores aqui en Staten Island desde años voy por mi atole de galleta que desde el primer dia q lo prove me encanto como me sigue encantando hasta el dia de hoy y que decir del servicio tan amigable de Martita una señora tan bella y acogedora la verdad yo los recomiendo 💯% siempre...!!!“

“Food was very good. Had Fajita Duo and Cheese Nachos. Prices were decent. Menu was limited. Problem was the flour pancakes were very small (Maybe 6" round (4) for the dinner we had. Six Tortillas would of been fine for that dinner. We asked for more and they gave us 3. Noticing the bill I WAS CHARGED for the 3 extra ($2.50)? That's Not Good Business. I have never been charged for a few extra tortillas. I will not go back or recommend. Disappointed. It was freezing in there.“

“Los Pastorcitos G’s is a great restaurant to sit down and have a great Mexican meal. From tacos to quesadillas to tortas, there are many different options to choose from. The drink choices from sodas to agua frescas (Watermelon, Pineapple, Hibiscus) are also great. Overall, the service is excellent. I would highly recommend this place.“

“el mad bueno restaurante que yo opino el servicio es bueno“

“The food here is SO GOOD! Best Mexican food I’ve had on the island. Chill spot. They have all the delicious Mexican drinks. The Gordita is incredibly fresh. Crunchy on the outside, soft inside. The enchiladas verdes , amazing. The tacos de bistec, tender and flavorful. I can’t wait to eat here again.“

“The Food Is Absolutely Delicious and good portions.. The service is very warm and welcoming.. The drinks were very tasty.. And the inside decor and scenery is phenomenal.. I went for lunch with my Mom we will definitely be back here.“

“Finally, some authentic Mexican food on the south shore. Ordered on Grubhub - the driver bailed and the restaurant called me telling me about it. I took a ride over there to pick up the food. They were so apologetic, even though the driver leaving was not their fault. The food was delicious - spicy, fresh, and the portions were great. Will definitely be ordering from them again.“

“Very delicious!!! I had the high protein post workout (Double Steak) bowl and the wife had the Birria crunch stack. Wow!! What a treat. I had it delivered and it got here suoerfast from GHUB. This is going to be one of my go to eateries when i am craving some sweet Mexican fare“

“First time trying Taqueria Three Amigos on Page Avenue, and it definitely won’t be the last! 🌮🔥

We ordered takeout and tried a little of everything—birria tacos, a steak and cheese quesadilla, a burrito, and loaded nachos. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and packed with great taste. 🤤

Next time I’ll be eating there instead of taking it to go, but this was a fantastic first impression. Definitely worth a visit! 🙌“

“so authentic and amazing service. such a hidden gem. Drinks were also great. The Twice as Nice was perfect for the summer!“

“La comida todo súper rico .. las tortillas el pollo enchilado los frijoles el Arros la salsa la enzalada de nopales .!!!! 😋 😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“If you're looking for authentic Mexican food on Staten Island, I highly recommend En Canto Mexican Restaurant.

The molcajete was absolutely deliciousserved sizzling hot, packed with flavor, and made with fresh ingredients. Every bite tasted homemade and authentic.

The service was friendly and attentive, and the whole atmosphere made us feel welcome. The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality you get.

You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the customer experience. Definitely one of the better Mexican restaurants I've been to.“

“Outstanding food and service! Will definitely be coming back here.“

“Had a nice time overall. Big thanks to Lisa for the warm welcome and Tony for being attentive throughout our visit. The steak was cooked well but could’ve used a bit more seasoning and flavor. Other than that, the experience was enjoyable and the service really stood out.“

“The best restaurant in the area. If you are looking for a place to eat authentic Mexican food here is the place. The food is 10 out of 10 hands down. The restaurant itself is very cozy. Very inviting staff is very friendly. You will not regret.“

“Authentic Taste of Mexico in a little hole in the wall.
I ordered the Tacos Carnitas and it was the awesome
Portion was very generous,they double each taco with two tortillas.
The place is very small,not really a restaurant, it looks more like an old deli, but I will definitely be coming back for more of this food.😋“

“There is a certain luxury in simplicity that you only find at places like Matamoros Deli Market. It is a mistake to explore Staten Island and think the culinary story begins and ends with a pizza crust; the real soul of this borough is found on Port Richmond Avenue, in the independent markets where people still work with their hands.

I went in with a specific intent. I saw the Chorizo and Suadero on the menu and asked if they would fold that combination into a burrito for me. The staff was incredibly polite—they didn’t hesitate, they simply made it happen.

The result was exactly what it should be. It wasn't a greasy spectacle or an overwhelming mess. It was balanced. It was precise. It was just right. There is a quiet dignity in a handmade meal from a local market that a chain restaurant can never replicate. If you are looking for real food made by hardworking people, this is where you find it.“

“la comida y la atención y buena mercancía.. los precios regular“

“Stopped by The Burrito Shoppe for lunch and had a traditional burrito. It was filled with delicious rice, chicken, cheese and veg - warm and tasty. I also tried the Cubana Torta which I will definitely order again ! Great place to meet friends and have a bite to eat.“

“solo las pizza los tacos muy caro y no me gusta el saber 🤗👌“

“I ordered the cecina nachos, I would take a picture but I'm devouring them as we speak. The cecina is soooo good, juicy and not too salty but not bland.

Never change the way y'all cook. One of the best Mexican spots on the island.“

“Favorite spot for Mexican food. Great people, service and food.“

“I have to say this is the perfect little spot, the food is authentic & soo delicious .

Only warning is that you should practice your spanish, you dont get tacos this good without speaking spanish for them. If you like steak and shrimp tacos, When you arrive say
"Hola ¿como estas usted? Quiero tres tacos de bistec y tres tacos de camarones"
"Para volver" means "to go" if thats what you want to do.

Thank me never bc you wouldnt be able to stop. ?“

“I don’t even like burritos ! But there steak burrito has steak through who whole burrito even till the end where it closes off ! It’s just a perfect burrito! I had one yesterday and also having one now currently! BOMBBBB! It’s deff my go to now !“

“Great food and wonderful owners and staff! My favorite fajita and guacamole!“

“muy rico el vuelve a la vida, alas de pollos gorditas y un excelente servicio“

“Been here a few times with my fiancé Arlene. Delicious food. Very authentic Mexican and very fresh“

“Had food delivery. Everything was delicious and delivered on time.“

“Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent food for our recent party. The guests were all commenting how delicious and well prepared the food was. It was also more food than we expected, and was very well packed for transport. We’ve enjoyed the experience of dining at Sofia’s, and now also the catered g experience.“

“Came here w my brother and my mom. I genuinely love the decor and atmosphere of the place tbh, lots to look at when you eat! ^^

Ordering was also quick and the food came out looking absolutely breathtaking, better than restaurants you see in the city.

Absolute perfection, I'll take my friends here too one day! ❤❤❤“

“Some of the best bistek tacos with nopales and gringas bistek I ever had ask for extra salsa verde and salsa roja enjoy the conchas the sweet bread with sweet sugar it’s perfect with coffee my Mexican boyfriend put me on you can eat there and have a beer too tip the lady in the back she’s the cook she is super nice too“

“Los mejores chilaquiles de cecina 😋😋😋“

“The food was very good and tasty.. in service i gave 2 star because the lady does not have any customer service experience what so ever she didn't greet uusas soon as a single man walked in she basically left me talking while she walked away to give him the menue.we had arrived before him and she took him the chips and salsa and beer first..but other than that the food was great the cook knows exactly what hes doing..the food is pricey the waitress tip of 5$ is already included so since her service was awful I didnt bother to leave any additional tips“

“Just went to Mercado Ariana for lunch, and loved it. We had the mixed fajitas, and the amazing chicken empanadas. The margarita was also delicious.“

“Hidden gem. Get Guac and Chips great 1 on 1 date night spot. Traditional taste, reminds me of Cancun mexico. Love the little decorations and the staff was very nice.

Reasonable and well worth a stop. No parking but thats just a minor setback.“

“I knew this would be a great place to take some friends who had never been to Texas before and wanted to experience non-chain Tex-Mex. The neighborhood, building, decor, staff and quality of food was perfect. However, the mirachi band is too much. Way too loud. It doesn't need to be so loud. It was if the horns had to prove they could play loudly. I get it, when a mirachi band is playing you don't have conversation, but wow, it doesn't have to be so overwhelming. We will go back. Great place!“

“Very good service and respectful“

“Best place in Staten Island Unique flavor authentic Mexican Food good service excellent atmosphere If you are visiting Staten Island You have to try it“
