“First time here and trying the place out. Had Mexican Pork tacos and served with beans and rice. All mains come with beans and rice. The beans your smooth used to being more chucky. Was late for the lunch choices and it's over at 2. Great lunch prices and a variety of meals to choose from. There are drinks imported from Mexico and the normal fountain soda is Pepsi product.“

“Excellent food. Meats and sauces are so flavorful and delicious. Even the rice and beans have a little something extra. Dishes are well portioned and fresh made. Tortilla chips and homemade sauce are perfect starters. The flan and ice cream are excellent ways to end the meal. Can’t wait till next time to try the specials!“

“If you’re looking for Mexican food in Syracuse, this is the place. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, food is amazing specially the carne asada and the chicken tortilla soup. The only aspect that disliked me, was that they have no terminals for cards payments.“

“Ordered delivery for dinner tonight and as usual, did not disappoint! My partner never had y'all before and was stunned at the portion sizes and the value for the size. Safe to say he's been converted into a super fan. ?Keep up the great work! ?“

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at this Mexican restaurant. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a lively and **energetic crowd** of young diners. The ambiance was vibrant, and the aroma of sizzling fajitas filled the air. Now, let's talk about the food. The menu boasted an impressive array of dishes, but my taste buds were particularly drawn to the **Diablo fries**. These crispy, seasoned fries were like a flavor explosion in my mouth! The perfect balance of heat and savory goodness left me craving more. And let's not forget the cocktails! The bartenders here are true mixology artists. I sampled their signature margarita, and it was a revelation. The tangy lime, the hint of salt, and that smooth tequila--it was a symphony of flavors. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine and a lively atmosphere. Whether you're catching up with friends or having a date night, this restaurant ticks all the boxes. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“So good but I am Not expert here. My quesadilla was awesome and my wife's taco salad was great. Lots of food. To be clear this is not a place for a clean freak. It's more of a diner style. The floor is dirty and so are the walls. But the food and service and the general feeling of the place was just what I like. So, if you fit the vibe definitely you will be well fed and the people are very accommodating.“

“Hands-down, my absolute favorite Mexican food in the area. A good friend of ours recommended this place a while back and it took us forever to finally try it, but now that we have, we don't want Mexican from any other place. Lol. Every single thing we have tried off the menu has been fantastic. My husband loves the jalapeño poppers and their guacamole is fresh and so amazingly tasty. And if you do get the guacamole, they load you up with chips and salsa as well. Also very very tasty. I have gone with the Arroze Con Pollo as my entrée every single time and I keep meaning to try something different but it's just so good I end up going right back to it. My husband has tried a variety of dishes from burritos to chicken entrées and he raves about every single meal. If you're in the area I could not give this a higher recommendation. You definitely have to try it if you are in the mood for Mexican.“

“Mi Casita Restaurant is a hidden gem for empanada lovers! Their empanadas were a delicious fusion of flavors and textures, with perfectly flaky crusts and a variety of mouthwatering fillings. The cozy ambiance and warm service made it feel like I was dining in someone's home. If you're in search of authentic empanadas that transport you to Latin America, Mi Casita is the place to be. I'll definitely be back for more of these delectable, handcrafted treats!“

“Steve's is a great hidden gem in Tipp Hill. It's a cash only bar and they serve great Mexican food. Drinks and food are cheap and very good. Very cozy vibe and I've always had a good meal here. The kitchen is only open Thursday and Friday starting at 6pm. Not sure if the kitchen is open on Saturdays. I also believe they are cash only but they have an ATM in the bar.“

“Stopped in today for our first visit to Carmelita's. Super welcoming Host. We were seated immediately. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant smelled AMAZING so I had a feeling we had made the right choice stopping here. We decided on their flight of 3 nachos for our App. One was ground beef, shredded chicken and refried beans. All were covered in perfectly melted cheese on fresh made tortilla chips. All of them were very good but the shredded chicken nachos were the star. Excellent. I chose the 3 Enchiladas meal (no beans). I had a ground beef, steak (extra $2.00) and their chicken. All 3 were excellent. They were roped with their red sauce. The onions inside all were diced perfectly and the entire meal was superbly seasoned. Not overboard on seasoning and just "delicious". All the food was made as ordered and not "assembly line" style. Pricing was fair for what we received and especially for how it tasted. Definitely will be back in the future.“

“Had the beef stew it was to die for! So flavorful, not sure real name but it was beef chunks and rice. Highly recommend the dish!“

“Alex is a fantastic chef and a professional business woman. Many of my clients have used her services to help with meal prepping. They truly love her delivery services and quick responses.Best in the area!! ?? I highly recommend for all fitness clients!“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the food and friendliness of the owners. I felt so welcome and the food was so very authentic. I got my favorite, tamales, and they were the best and BIGGEST I’d ever had. The Birria meat is so delicious. I got it on nachos and it was a great decision.As far as the atmosphere, it really wasn’t my thing. Its bright yellow inside, colorful, with only a few tables. Paper plates and plastic cutlery, which I hope is temporary. A Great place to take kids. To me, it seems like more of a carry out place, which is what I’ll probably do from now on. I just prefer a more sensory-friendly, intimate atmosphere with real plates and silverware. It was clean, and the music was great, though!Next time, I’m definitely ordering the street corn and birria again. To go. :)Vegetarian options: A few: nachos and tamales, which are both great. Street corn, and other sides.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options, since much of the food uses corn. However, if you have an allergy, I’d definitely double-check with owners.“
