“My first time eating here! The horchata is the best I've ever had! I’m now able to differentiate between authentic Horchata and mid horchata thanks to this restaurant! This is a small restaurant but so festive and beautiful! They cooked the food with love. Me and my wife had the Birria Pizza. The meat was cooked well and the pizza stood in tact.“

A group of young men putting the work. The place is nice and clean, their food is very good. Those guys really tried. I used to order online, today I decided to walk in eventhough it took them a lil time to have my order ready once served I was very pleased with the food. 10 out of 10z.

Athmosphere, could be a little better.“

“An Absolute Gem in Astoria!
While visiting New York, I was introduced to MAYAHUEL in Astoria—and let me just say, it’s hands down the best Mexican restaurant I’ve had in a very long time. We sat outside and enjoyed an unforgettable dinner in a cozy, welcoming setting.

The queso fundido with chorizo and the guacamole with chips were beyond amazing—some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Then came the Enchiladas Suizas, and wow… the salsa verde was truly next level. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavor and made with care.

This spot is a must-visit for anyone craving outstanding Mexican cuisine. I’ll be recommending MAYAHUEL to everyone—and I absolutely can’t wait to return! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Every time I show up, the employees suggest the best food available, they are generous always. If the container is empty, they walk to the kitchen to refill for fresh food.
They have good attitude.
The food is always on point, it’s hard to find the right place to dine for less than $20 dollars.
Adobo - M G is a great place for take out and family.“

“Comida súper autentica, deliciosa, sabrosa y los precios súper accesibles! 100% recomendado“

“Had the pleasure of dining here over the weekend. Lets start with the ambiance, perfectly lit warm and inviting. The service was impeccable from the host to our server everyone knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Now to the food, arguably some of the best Oaxacan cuisine I have tasted outside of Mexico. The crudo was so fresh and vibrant the short rib memela was one of the best dishes I have had in a very long time. Everything was fresh and tasty. Thanks to everyone who made this meal such an amazing experience. Truly looking forward to my next visit!!!“

“I looked up what foods in the area were top rated and this little restaurant popped up. So I went for a try. Got the steak nachos and WOW. Everything taste fresh and even the chip were crispy fresh and taste homemade. The crema, beans, steak well seasoned, guacamole all paired wonderfully and perfect portions of each. I hate getting nachos with 80% chips, 10% beans and barely any protein. This place knows exactly what they’re doing and I can’t wait to try other stuff on their menu. Also it’s a very small restaurant with limited seating. I took my food to-go and it was well packaged and hot.“

“Honestly, if you are looking for a really amazing spot to get a halal burrito or Mexican food, Guac Time is literally the best option. I have been coming here at least once every week since I found out about this place and honestly the food is so addicting. The service is great and employees are so welcoming.“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

“We had an amazing dinner here after stopping in to the nearby sculpture museum (also very cool). Good frozen cocktails, fantastic tacos and everyone on staff was kind, accommodating and quick! They had little hats for the kids which were so cute, and strong AC inside. Great place for a summer dinner out!“

“I don’t understand does this place not read the instructions of their orders ? Why do you always forget to add the sauces when the instructions specifically says to put in on the side. The sauces are one of your main attractions and the only reason I order. Or else I’m better off ordering from chipotle. Please get it together I will not longer be ordering from here.“

“After an impromptu evening painting trash where the clouds were quickly blowing around & each moment in the sky looked like a biblical scene, I had the fish burrito 10/10, orange & red sauces 10/10. There are 3 beta fish on a shelf in the back that need attention, their tanks to be cleaned, to be kissed.“

“Amazing food at a good price with great portion sizes! I always get the chimichangas and I love that you get rice, beans, a salad, and a couple plantains - it's usually enough food for me to stretch it to 1.5-2 meals, even though the food is so good I want to eat it all at once.“

“Super amazing what highly recommend the Ramen was my most favorite place in the churros were amazing with the caramel dip. I feel like other people should go to this place too and I feel like this is just the best restaurant I ever been in New York City.“

“The customer service is wonderful, from Adrián specifically, and the food is even better. It manages to maintain the authentic cuisine of Mexico and at the same time provide a touch of modernity. Plus the party music and colorful lights simply bring a great atmosphere!“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“I loved my experience here. Now I should warn you, this place has a lot of character. If you want something a little boring and sterile, this is not the place. Victor was an incredible host and the food was fantastic.
I won't forget it. Such a nice time.“

“Chano’s Cantina is a must-visit! The Eggs on Steak is a perfect combination of flavors—succulent steak topped with perfectly cooked steak and eggs. The atmosphere is warm, and the staff is welcoming. I highly recommend this dish for lunch. Great experience overall!“

“This spot is hands-down the best taco I’ve had in New York city. They make their corn tortillas from scratch and all of the proteins are out of this world delicious. I met the owner Carolina, she is absolutely delightful. The space itself is really cool, and word is definitely spread in as to how awesome the food is. Definitely suggest anyone in the Bushwick area to come swing by and give this place a try. It’s literally a perfect taco.“

“The food is absolutely delicious, and it is well priced in light of the good portion sizes. We ordered 3 soups, 1 of each kind that they offer. Wow, they were each *incredible* and we can’t wait to go back for more. We are very grateful that this restaurant exists and is in the neighborhood! We had been looking for authentic Mexican food in the area and it looks like we have found it!“

“So this place opened up less than a year ago.Me and my husband have definitely been here at least 4x ... Let's start with the bartender ( same guy every time) his personality is absolutely amazing.The whole atmosphere is insane.Lee literally like a breath out of the Bronx for a minute... I can't stress their shrimp tacos enough... it is my ultimate favorite but I also had prime rib taco's last time & beyond ?... Me and my husband have date night at least 2x weekly & if you want an intimate atmosphere that's décor is beautifu. l.Music is mexican music which is very fitting but know this "you're gonna spend money" for 2 ppl a shot and a Margarita each then an entree. y appetizer is gonna.
Cost you around $200 and it's worth it every time!!!“

“Came in on a Friday at noon - the interior was welcoming and clean. I ordered the La Callejera and it was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Portion was big for me - ended up eating half and will be eating other half for dinner. Would definitely come in again. Order total was about 21 for the torta and a Mexican coke.“

“Enjoyed the delicious foods, lovely plating. Left happy and satisfying. Would recommend to anyone to eat there.“

“My partner has been coming here for atleast a decade and it remains his favorite taco spot. He brought me here and I am equally in love! The service is top tier and the chef is always up for a challenge! I have had multiple experiences with ordering something off the menu and the chef has always come through with something delicious! Highly recommend this spot and the shrimp tacos are the best I have ever had.“

“Me and my daughter, enjoyed this restaurant so much during our Mommy and Me weekend! The atmosphere was laid back and quite relaxing. The service was superb and the food was so good, we had to order food to bring home. I would give this establishment 6 stars if I could. We were both very pleased and we will be dining here again very soon. If you have not been here, you should definitely give them a visit. Peace and Love, Chele from the Block.“

“Decided to treat myself to dinner and went to check out this place. Came in during a dinner rush and was seated right away. A nice dark atmosphere. I ordered the NY strip steak and I gotta say it was amazing. Cooked to perfection, melted in my mouth. Cooked like a real steak a perfect medium rare. So good on its own and didn't any sauce but it came with a delicious arbol chilli salsa. Great service with friendly staff. I can't wait to come back and try the lamb tacos amongst other things. I highly recommend a lovely dinner here“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“I got the chicken over rice. Solid quality chicken.

Whoever was running the cart looked pretty tired in the heat :(. Nonetheless, he was still very attentive and kind!

Very quick. Will be back! Thanks so much!“

“Work down the block and this spot is reliable and consistent for good Mexican food. Small and independently owned, so definitely worth checking out/supporting! It’s interesting when people say small business prices are expensive, when everything is expensive right now. If more of us supported small spots, they could keep prices lower. Go check them out“
