Experience Hasbrouck Heights' Mexican food at these fantastic spots.
“The employee went far and beyond.First off I placed my order at the kiosk and came time to pay. Normally I tap my credit card, but it wasn’t working. Also tried to insert my card. It didn’t work. In less than 15 seconds, the employee saw I was having problems and came out there and told me I had to swipe it first and then insert it.The employee was very nice, very courtesy, well spoken, and well mannered.He also apologized to me for the equipment malfunction.He then served me my order, and as always, the food was totally awesome.Keep up the excellent work at this location. It’s the only one I go to.“
“This place has the most wonderful atmosphere and is truly one of the best Mexican restaurants that we have ever tried! Our server, John, was incredible and made so many great recommendations that made our meal that much more amazing! Highly recommend if you are in the area.“
“I went a couple months ago and the food is so good, we order some appetizers sopecitos de chorizo is one of the best in the menu and the guacamole another level,the drinks are so good we ordered sangria and margaritas. the place looks clean and good atmosphere.“
“I stopped by for drinks around 7pm on a Saturday with some friends. Thankfully there was a table available and we were seated right away. Bosco's has an extensive drink menu, and happy hour if you go during certain times on weekdays. The drinks were average NY prices, and were very good. I got the Sam Said So, while my friend got a Negroni. Both were very good! The service was great, and the decor was fun.“
“My all time favorite taco place in the city. Los Tacos No.1 was my favorite until I tried this place. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of their tacos but their pastor is my favorite. Whenever I am in BK, I will always make a stop here. Also try Tako Sando and Mallard Drake (al pastor hamburger) which is right down the “
“Before I even lived in the neighborhood Jajaja was easily one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I have brought so many friends here because it is perfect from anywhere to a date night to a chill lunch/dinner to catch up with friends. Their cocktails are amazing especially their version of an espresso martini. All of the staff is so friendly and always make sure you're taken care of at all times. On top of everything and most importantly the food is AMAZING. Although I am not vegan anymore, I still can call this my favorite restaurant because they do everything on their menu so well and it's rare in my experience where vegan food is indistinguishable from non-plant based food and my favorite is the enchiladas mole. Highly recommend!“
“Decided to go in as we saw someone sitting by the window, enjoying his sandwich so much. Best decision ever! We’re 100% returning when we’re back in NY! The service and welcoming was outstanding, thank you Eli for making this happen. Food, vibez, authenticity and Michelada 10/10 ?“
“We came here on the recommendation of a friend and even with her glowing review, we were still blown away! Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were a steal. Our family had the truffle quesadillas, the carne asada tacos, and the langosta tacos. We shared an order of guac and the kids had the flan and churros for dessert. Great dinner; we can't wait to return!“
“Sombrero was a perfect stop before catching a show! Guacamole was delicious and … ahem… $5 margaritas for happy hour. Nothing other worldly but pretty darn tasty and for the price you can’t beat it! It looked Ike their regular marg menu was pretty expansive if you prefer a fancier beverage. Great place and I’m glad stopped before the show.“
“Came here this week for some tacos and drinks. The tacos were delicious and the drinks were really good with unique flavors that reminded me of Ghost Donkey (miss that place!). Mushroom Margarita and Adobada Bam Bam. Really nice place inside. The Happy Hour menu is a QR code on the menu. Plan on returning!“
“I came here yesterday for a typical Monday lunch and I love how their bar is set up. The server was very nice. I had the Pollo Coco Tacos and they were really good with guacamole on the side. I also had Latte with Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. Pretty convenient location next to a Subway station. Cool! After getting off the train, you can stop by here for a quick lunch.“
“great fish and shrimp tacos! fresh corn tortilla and super flavourful shrimp. try all 3 taco options (all seafood based) and sit down in the rustic mexican ambiance while enjoying your meal. cheap beer too! not too packed. fav tacos in the city.“
“Had a birthday celebration here and the food was so delicious. Staff super friendly. The place itself was LES style, seemingly cramped but as a native I know that’s just how things were built back then. Glad my sister made the reservation to eat here ✨“
“Great vegan cuisine--their three dips are amazing, especially their cheese.Loved the two cocktails I ordered, and given their extensive Mezcal list, I know I'll be back for more. Wonderful service, servers and manager were so kind and accommodating! And don't forget to order dessert.Dietary restrictions: Our server asked right away as we ordered, if we had any allergies.“
“I can not write enough good things about this Mexican restaurant. To begin with, this is the most authentic restaurant I have come across in Hell's Kitchen. It has been at its location for over 20 years! That alone says enough. I came in for happy hour and their deals were great. I was attended by a young gentleman, Eric. He was so attentive and made sure I was well taken care of. The food was great I had the Mole poblano platter with HOMEMADE tortillas and my god they were so amazing, every single bite. I had the most delicious mango margarita after several happy hour drinks. My last drink was a double with a Tajin rim. Eric informed me all of their drinks were made with natural fruit - so keep that in mind. They have the most amazing tequila and mezcal selection. Eric was very informative about their selections and recommended some Tequilas I have never even heard of in my life. Their prices are fair especially because everything is so perfectly made and super fresh. Thank you Eric and Tulcingo Del Valle for your attentiveness! I will definitely be returning!“
“We enjoyed the food and amazing service here. The ambiance is cozy and perfect if you’re going in a date night.Also this is a BYOB place so you can get your own bottle.The Guac & chips were fresh and delicious.The tacos were good too.We also tried a new dish - Salta Patras Ceviche and it was delicious.Special mentioned to the Tres leches which wasn’t over sweet.Definitely try out this place. It deserves more spotlight.“
“This place is a gem! Located in one of my favorite areas to visit in greenpoint. Panzons atmosphere is amazing even on a rainy day. I had to opportunity to try the new brunch menu. What a treat! Do not skip the Chilaquiles, so much flavor. The pollo torta was unique and tasty. Make sure you get the tres leches French toast for the table. Can’t wait to come back to try the tuna tostada and ceviche!“
“First they had valet parking which made it easy to drop and enter ,the business was packed but getting seating was not bad since we made reservations which I highly recommend to do....place was goergues with so much Mexican decorations and actors with costumes which entertained the kids as well as adults many places to take pictures with for great memories....the staff were extremely friendly and always paying attention to your needs and concerns...The food was very delicious...the drinks were well prepared with many different types ....at one point my wife asked for her steak medium well but came out medium rare they took rite away and cooked it a little more with no problem the server came back and made sure it was perfect...they have a dance floor on the second level...live entertainment...wonderful music...the experience was excellent...great for birthdays....they sing happy Birthday and present you with Mexican Sombrero and ? pinata dessert .....great atmosphere....I want to thank all the staff for a memorable birthday....THAN YOU for making it special ...A+ ....guys worth the money for the experience...“
“Ive been here a couple of times and as a LA native, this place definitely makes tacos that remind me of home. There is only outdoor seating so I would keep that in mind if you plan on visiting during colder weather. But The tacos were delicious and I got way more queso and chips than I was expecting. They were sold out the last time I stopped by so that should give you a good idea of the quality of the food.“
“This was a delivery order and it was my first time. Mexican food can be hit or miss, especially from city to city. This was a hit right out of the park. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with guacamole and chips, and one side of salsa and a side of guacamole. Portions were impressively large. The burrito was a 10 out of 10. The guacamole was also a 10 and the price for all of it was very reasonable, especially for NYC. This place is a game changer. Whatever you're doing... Keep on doing it!“
“I'll keep this short and to the point: this is the best burrito I've had in the city hands down, and it's not close. Everything fresh and phenomenally seasoned, the lengua is succulent, the al pastor just the right spicy-sweet mix, I can't wait to try a few more meats. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out quick. As far as ambiance, getting in and out of there in record time is all you really want from a food truck. The best.“
“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“
“Stop by for dinner without a reservation and The Manager and hostess were very accommodating on a very busy night . We had the fish empanadas that were deliciousA couple of MargaritasGrilled Branzino and fish schnitzelA wonderful experienceKudos to the CheffExcellent service, fantastic food and great atmosphere!Definitely a special place“
“I’ve been to different locations of la fortaleza but this one is by far the best. Incredibly great service and the food was so good. Karen made our experience incredible and gave us amazing service. My wife had the chilaquiles and I had chiles rellenos I loved it.“
“This was such a pleasant experience. I was craving Mexican food, but as a Muslim, I was thoroughly surprised and pleased to see that this place was halal. The owner and his daughter were so kind and hard at work to make sure every customer was satisfied. The birria burger was amazing and left me wanting more despite being full. I will definitely be back here.“
“Sloppy and yummy Mexican tacos. So so so good! The taste was great, so flavourful. The soup next to it was perfect. I would highly recommend this place. Price was a little steep for my understanding but maybe that’s just the area. Friendly staff, cute atmosphere and great taste. What a dinner! Be prepared to get your hands dirty!“
“We’ve come here a few times, and it gets better with every visit! The pickle pear margarita was outstanding and everything we ordered (guacamole, scallops, and rib eye) were all excellent. Our server, Chris, was super attentive and very helpful with the menu — just overall a fantastic dinner and experience. Looking forward to coming back soon!“
“I love coming to this location! The service is always on point. Attentive waitstaff and fresh tasting food. The drinks are delicious as well. The ambiance is so nice and the music was a nice mix of Spanish music. If you're lucky enough to have Luis as your server he is amazing!“
“Hidden gem of a food truck. Lots of meat in the tacos. Delicious consomme. Open late. What's not to love?They have a deal for 3 tacos but I recommend getting 5 if you are hungry.Consomme has lots of meat chunks too so you will get your fill of protein here.“
“lovely hidden gem on Avenue A between 13th and 14th streets. The place is family owned and operated and the food is to do for. It is reasonably priced, I often find myself trying to figure out if I want a tamale or a shredded beef or pork taco.“
“DELICIOUS AND REALLY FUN!I went to Tacombi on East 70th St on Sunday night with my dinning partner. After a cold rainy Saturday New Yorkers definitely had cabin fever and wanted to enjoy the beautiful night. The rest was crowded and the smell of DELICIOUS food was intoxicating. I ordered Baja Crispy Fish Taco and Black Bean and Sweet Potato Taco -both were FANTASTIC!My dining partner ordered Quesadillas with chopped steak onions and chili. He was ecstatic!Both of us ordered the best margaritas we had ever had. I highly recommend this place you must check it out. You will not be disappointed and you will have a lot of fun...“
“Delicious food and drinks. And even more the terrific host and his great team made us feel very welcome from the first second on.Thanks to PK and your whole team for a memorable evening at your restaurant. It was a sheer pleasure for all six of us.“
“I went to this place and I have to say that Eliana was amazing. She suggested me to have the carne asada. She provided amazing service, Excellent choices. The margarita and mezcalita delusions. I Definitely will come back again to this place.“
“My wife and I randomly stopped in while on vacation in NYC. The vibe was awesome and fun. I didn’t get our bartenders name but she was the best!! She was very nice and constantly smiling. She even made us some of her own concoctions that were even better than anything on the Menu!!!“
“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“
“I recently found this gem near my job & it is now my new go-to spot for drinks with my coworker. The food was a pleasant surprise/treat, never thought I'd find another great Mexican spot here in the city. Our waitress Elizabeth is the sweetest & so attentive.“
“This place is amazing! The food is always fresh, employees are very friendly and the prices are unbelievable. I can’t believe you get that much food for such an affordable price. I have been here 3 days in a row and the only thing I’m mad about is that I just found out about this place 3 days ago.“
“We celebrated my bestfriend birthday here and our server marina was amazing please make sure to ask for her. The customer service was immaculate. The manager touched the rouble and converted with us about our experience.definitely a must go we will be back again and tell all our family and friends.“
“Thank you very much for this moment. Excellent food, attentive service with good advice. The service team is superbDish: mole del puebla and vg quesadillasNacho starterDessert: plantain flambéed with rum and scoop of vanilla ice creamDrink: large iced lemon margaritaSee you soon ❤️“
“I had the pleasure of visiting today and they did not disappoint! The food came out pretty quickly and tasted delicious. We ordered a buffalo chicken panini and it was cooked to perfection. The buffalo wings were also a hit! Everything was flavorful.“
“Julia is the best! She gifted us a beautiful not pecan pie pecan slice. The tacos are delicious. The drink options are fun, happy hour is a great deal. Atmosphere is fun and laid back. Many options to take in the view. They treated us so well here.“
“Incredible food and service on a recent Saturday night at Empellon midtown. Our server was simply amazing (wish I remembered his name) -he was super thoughtful and attentive to our friend who is vegan, and to our group in general. Delish meal. Overall really great experience and can't wait to go back!!“
“The exquisite food with a flavor of Mexico, the excellent service Valeria and Irma are always friendly and attentive to their customers, they are two of the best, from the Passaic Fortress 204 Hope Ave we are in the county of Ocean County and we travel more than once time to enjoy the best authentic Mexican food, and the excellent service of Valeria and Irma and thanks to the entire team that makes up the fortress of hope ????????????????“
“Had seen this pop up on instagram and looked absolutely amazing, so made a reservation here for my first night in NYC. I am always up to try a 100% gluten free restaurant, especially when it is entirely plant-based since I am dairy free as well! It’s a rare occasion where I can order anything on the menu and the experience did not disappoint. The staff was extremely friendly and despite being very busy, I never felt as if I was kept waiting. I opted for the nachos since I couldn’t remember the last time I was able to order nachos at a restaurant. What arrived was something resembling a work of art–a tower of nachos stacked layer by layer with toppings–guacamole, vegan chorizo - so good!, vegan queso, vegan sour cream, beans, salsa, jalapenos. The portion was way too big just for one person so it’s all that I ordered that evening, even though I had been eyeing the empanadas (which I ended up ordering for lunch a few days later bc I couldn’t get them out of my mind). I’d say they were just okay, but I’m glad I tried them. The nachos definitely take the cake and I would order them again without a doubt. Highly recommend Bar Verde for its friendly service and delicious food!“
“This place is amazing! I took my aunt's from out of town and they just had a great time! The food is spectacular. The best chicken enchiladas I have had and I am from Texas so that says a lot. The fish dishes are amazing. I got to get a taste from my aunt's plates. The margaritas are the best I have had in years. My aunt's are margarita connoisseurs and they loved the top shelf and the watermelon. I thought the watermelon was smooth and crisp with a hint of fun. We sat at the bar and the bartender Luis was just the best. He helped elevate the night with recommendations and brought a spirit of fun and enjoyment to the ambiance. He was very knowledgeable on the food, the drinks, and the regulars. He still took the time to take care of the new people who are learning the ropes at the place. The crowd was very respectful and happy to be there and you could tell that the regulars are in a good mood. Sebastian was just lovely and found a way to make sure we got to enjoy the night with good seats. The family ambiance that created this restaurant is felt in the food and the details that combined make this restaurant a gem. I highly recommend it.“
“went for the bottomless brunch... the food was good and the drinks were middle strength... the waitress was THE BEST. favorite part of the meal was the shrimp ceviche and the fruit cups with mango puree.Vegetarian options: There isn't much for vegetarians/vegans... many things have meat, cheese, crema, sour cream, etc... the safest things are the plantains and the mushroom tacos“
“Recently hosted the BEST private party at Tampico! Joe was great to work with - super quick with responses and very helpful in getting me all the information I needed. The bartenders amazing and very friendly all throughout the night. Overall Tampico was very spacious and the perfect vibe. Would HIGHLY recommend for any size group to host your next event here!“
“MUST VISIT Great drinks- great food. Presentation and flavor WAS EVERYTHING. Have visited several times and was never disappointed. Very attentive staff, with friendly smiles and energy. Great ambiance with intimate sections to sit. This place is on my wife and I's top 10 list. One of the best vegan restaurants we have been to.“
“I was so happy when this place moved into the area, because there are very few good options for Mexican food, or at least there were. This place is really amazing there meat is fresh, their vegetables are fresh and their tacos are really great. The staff is super nice. The taco al Pastor here might be among the best in the city only because the pineapple is cooked on the grill and it’s really nice. That charred caramelized pineapple as a real beautiful flavor. Reasonable prices too.“
“Hands-down the best Mexican take out/quick service I’ve ever had. Think of Qdoba or Chipolte but actually real Mexican food made by Mexican people. The workers here are so nice and I believe a family restaurant. SUPPORT LOCAL WHILE GETTING THE BEST FOOD AVAILABLE!“
