Experience Pelham's Mexican food at these fantastic spots.
“This restaurant beat every expectation. Honestly, I am not a huge fan of Mexican cuisine Margaritas withstanding.La Casa completely has turned me into a fan.We traveled from Manhattan to dine with friends. It will now make the trip just for La Casa.“
“De los mejores burritos que puedes encontrar en el Bronx , gran sabor! Los tacos y los nachos tambien están muy buenos , no comía aquí desde hace 5 años y todo sigue con el mismo sabor , riquísimo ! La horchata y la limonada es natural y muy buena .“
“Love! Love! Love! I come atleast once a week for the last 2 years! it’s a friendly environment and the fooood is everything. Yonkers finest margaritas for sure I highly recommend ask for pavel she’s definitely the best bartender!!!! ???“
“Golden Service!!! Beautiful shop, Amazing Food and Churros to die for!!!!Divinely led to Don Chuy’s Tacos. Amazing Street Corn and Guac your world. Taco Bowl salad was divine with Shrimp and a chicken Quesadillas deliciously Made. Overall Amazing!!!!!!“
“I have been going to G's for over 20 years. The food is excellent. I love the breakfast burrito with chorizo, and their tortas, and their flautas. Everything thing is outstanding. They make great coffee The service is awesome. Very nice.“
“Absolutely delicious Oaxacan food. I've always wanted to visit Oaxaca and this place definitely gave us a taste of what it will be like. The restaurant is small with a few tables but it wasn't crowded when we went for lunch on a holiday Monday. My boyfriend and I shared the mole poblano, mole oaxaqueño, and molcajete. The mole dishes came with rice, beans, and warm tortilla and I also got a small horchata. Everything came out piping hot and fresh, bursting with flavor with every bite. Nothing was too spicy but if you like sweeter things, I would highly recommend the mole poblano.“
“Embarking on a culinary expedition to this local taqueria, I found myself ensconced in a veritable fiesta of flavors and textures, a testament to the prowess of the owner, Jose, whose recommendations became the lodestar of our gastronomic journey. The Steak a la Mexicano Tacos were a triumph of generosity, with portions scoring a robust 9/10, each bite a harmonious blend of succulence and spice, though the freshness fluttered at a 7/10, leaving a slight yearning for the zest of just-plucked produce. The Chicken Fajita Quesadilla was a vibrant tapestry of flavor, meriting an 8/10, with the cheese melting into the well-seasoned chicken in a decadent embrace, though the ingredients, while robust, hovered at a 7/10, occasionally lacking the punch of peak harvest vivacity.The Barbacoa Soup was a simmering cauldron of comfort, its depth and complexity cocooning the soul in warmth, yet it too danced around the 7/10 mark for freshness, suggesting a slight detour from the garden's embrace. The service, however, was unparalleled, a perfect 10/10, with staff moving with the precision and grace of seasoned culinarians, ensuring every need was anticipated and met with a smile.Presentation was an 8/10, each dish a canvas where color and form played in delightful harmony, inviting the eye to feast long before the palate. Overall, the experience was a solid 8.5/10, a delectable sojourn that promises to beckon the taste buds back to its doors. This taqueria, under the sage guidance of Jose, melds tradition with a hint of modernity, crafting an ambiance where each visit unfurls new layers of culinary delight.“
“Came here today for lunch with my husband and it was not only delicious food, but the service was amazing. The women were so kind and the restaurant was beautiful, colorful, and cozy. We ordered the Quesabirria and it was out of this world 10/10 stars! I highly recommend coming to this place for some fresh flavors and for a nice and friendly atmosphere.“
“I really enjoy this place. Food is great and always fresh. I love the tres leches cake and the fish tacos. The mexican decorations around the restaurant are so beautiful. I also like that is a family owned business. Service is great. I like going atleast once a week.“
“This is the best place to get Mexican food in yonkers, I've tried a lot of places in the area but nothing comes close to here. I've had Tacos Al Pastor, Tacos Dorados and Enchiladas de Mole Poblano. They also make incredible in house hot sauces. The only thing they do not have is any hard liquor on site, so don't expect margaritas but the food is enough to satisfy anyone, come check out this hidden gem in Yonkers!“
“The owner of this restaurant, Victor, is the main star here. I have never met a restaurant owner that has shown such incredible hospitality like Victor has. He is incredible and the main reason we will always come back. The food is outstanding as well. The shrimp enchiladas are my go to every time. The shrimp is always cooked perfectly and cut into small pieces which I love. The sauce on the enchiladas is so flavorful and delicious that I dip my chips in it as well. My boyfriend loves the burrito! He gets it every time as well. The restaurant is cozy and has a rei Mexican authentic feel to it. We're so grateful to have Victor and his amazing restaurant so close to us!“
“Recently came here and the burgers are good! It’s the sister store to George’s Deli on 28th and 37th street. But anyways the place is relatively new but it has way more to offer it’s not just a place where you get deli food but now they offer Mexican dishes. On top of that they have a variety of Mexican products! I feel right at home here. Also one of the employees told me they sell specific mexican dishes on the weekends like barbacoa. Definitely recommend you visit!“
“This place is amazing! I’m shocked there’s not more reviews raving about it. I started working in the area recently and although there’s taco spots on every block, I make the 10 minute walk here every day with no problem. The food is amazing, the meat tender and not dry. And the staff is extremely kind and welcoming. The lady makes my food with love every time and I feel at home. Thank you guys so much for your hospitality. Will be coming here forever :)“
“Great!! As someone who grew up in TX, I’m usually disappointed in Manhattan’s Mexican food options, but this is actually authentic and delicious! The consumé in particular was phenomenal. Only way this could be better is if they also sold horchata or tamarindo aquas frescas?“
“This is a very underrated truck in the city. One of the best birria spots I've tried in a while. I tried this place on new years, and it was sooo good, I dragged any of my friends that mentioned anything about food that day. I first got the birria torta, which was a heavenly sandwich, and a great deal for 10$. I also went back for a birria quesadilla, which was also really good! The service was quick both times, and I really appreciate them keeping reasonable prices on new years, with 1 dollar waters and 2 dollar sodas! I can't speak too much about the ambiance because I assume this was a temporary location for new years, but I would follow this truck anywhere. No food pics, food was gone way before I ever thought about taking a picture.“
“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.“
“I've been to Tobalá a couple of times since they opened, and their food, drinks, and service have always been great. But last night, they were absolutely stunning. I tried a few dishes (Memelas de Wagyu and Enmoladas de Pato) for the first time, and I was in shock, super delicious!! I want to congratulate their staff and owners for their constant effort to elevate the experience at Tobalá and improve every day, bringing this beautiful concept to the community. Definitely my favorite restaurant in the area.“
“I ordered two beef steak quesadillas with the flour taco and those were absolutely fantastic!! Tender bits of steak, and a green chile sauce and a red hot sauce served in small plastic cups to pour all over these heavenly dishes! Enter the Tacos; I want you guys to know that you cannot order just ONE taco, they need to be ordered two at a time. So if you want just ONE taco they won't sell it to you! I ordered two chicken tacos and two steak (carnitas) tacos WITHOUT CILANTRO ! I'm allergic to cilantro. They did a great job of cleaning the stove top before they prepared and heated my food order. Also I told them my wife is allergic to pork, (she's Muslim & it's just easier to tell chefs at these type of establishments that my wife has "allergies" to any pork products. The Tacos were good. Not amazing, but satisfying. I then ordered the chicken fingers which came with a HUGE portion of hot, steamy, French fries! The fries were fried to perfection and the potato flavor was not overpowered by the oil it was fried in. The fries were pretty much perfection. The chicken fingers were square pieces of fried chicken covered in a dark brown bread crumb with some green herbs in the bread crumbs that I could not identify. I didn't like the chicken fingers. They were not what I was expecting. The breading was not tasty and there were short and stubby cuts of flat chicken. I didn't like the looks or the taste. All of this came out to 41$ and some change. I thought overall the food, minus the chicken fingers was fresh- well prepared - and appetizing. The price is a little steep for my pockets. So I probably wouldn't be going here all the time because of pricing alone. Overall the place is very clean and the food appears to be fresh and delicious; but skip the chicken fingers.... Buon Provecho! Buon Appetito!“
“Nachos are DELICIOUS!! Food in general was very good and portions are abundant. Also they are generous with the grated cheese in top and I challenge anyone to find something wrong with that! Highly recommend. I'll come back again. And again. And again.“
“Everything is so fresh and homemade! The guac is a must-have. Each portion is made to order. They even put the pit in there to prove to you that each order has a full avocado in it that they just cut open! My family loves this place and we are regular visitors. One of our favorite local small businesses!“
“The spot is super small. Only 3 stools available for seating. The food was delicious! I had the chicken, steak and pork tacos. All three were delicious but the pork taco was soooo good. The pork meat is mixed with ear. It’s the ‘mixto’ pork taco. The staff is very friendly. When I’m back I want to try the birria and al pastor proteins.“
“This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant at this moment. The food is delicious, even our toddlers devour the food I love the steak quesadillas!The drinks are also top notch. The beat Frozen Passion Fruit Margarita, hands down!You don't want to miss this place! They will treat you like family!“
“when you enter the interior is kind of odd with one table inside along with a few window seats (two tables outside) but don’t let that turn you away. the food was fresh & tasty.I ordered the Chilaquiles & the grilled chicken caesar wrap. the Chilaquiles had a wonderful green sauce & lots of yummy cheese. the caesar wrap was jam packed with fresh crunchy lettuce, avocado, caesar dressing, & grilled chicken.(side note, the fries were delicious too! thin, crispy, & seasoned well!)it’s a small business folks…food takes time. this isn’t fast food mediocrity!the service was great & attentive. it’s a solid choice! Will come again :)“
“This is the best restaurant in whole Westchester, the burrito California, the bistec with onions and the camaronês an la plancha are amazing. Not even my mom can cook so good like that,The place is clean, the environment fantastic, the owner is always over there and comes to the table to talkThanks a lot ?Parking: There are plenty of parking spaces“
“First time visit, had the burger with sweet potato fries, the burger was delicious! Sat at the bar and had a mexician coffee martini and all I can say is "can I have another"Would definitely go back but later in the afternoon when there are not so many families there.“
“Small, cozy atmosphere with yummy food and drinks. Guacamole was fresh, chips crisp. Chuleta al pastor amazing with its pineapple jam, moro and shaved brussel sprouts salad. The corn was yummy. I expected the maple maduros to be sweeter because of the maple but they were regular maduros which was still perfectly fine. Tamarind margarita and mezcal drink were perfect. I will definitely recommend and be back.“
“Was visiting from Miami and had the pleasure of having Eddie take care of me. He made sure to take note of my food allergies, and recommended some amazing drinks. He also gave me tons of great recommendations of what to do while here on vacation. Thank you for everything!“
“Always have such a good experience when I dine here. The food is incredible. Drinks are tasty and fun. The staff is always so welcoming and lovely. Definitely recommend for a date night or a night out with friends! Oh and the churros are out of this world!“
“Visiting family in Westchester from Los Angeles - Molcajete definitely passed the bar. The shrimp was big, juicy and fresh, the steak (we got the Molcajete, so it came with everything) was a nice cut and well cooked. Salsas were all super tasty and the guac was legit. Only slight LA pickiness is that it was missing the nopal.“
“Great addition to the list of authentic Mexican restaurants in 138th street. The food and service are stellar at the upscale Hacienda Agave. We started out with appetizers- tortas with chicharrón, ceviche, tlacoyo, tuna tostadas and esquisites. It was all delicious. Next up were quesadilla de Carnitas: soo good! The mole de pollo which was phenomenal and every dish tasted better than the next. The Chamorra was my favorite- lamb shank in a rich stew, we also had the Branzino- which came beautifully wrapped in corn husk, it was moist and had a very delicate scent of herbs. For dessert: the churros were crispy and soft with dulce de leche. The tres leches was perfect and not too sweet and the flan was velvety and rich. The cocktails are varied and there are choices for all tastes. I started off with a non alcohol drink- cucumber and ginger- the bar was so accommodating and made our dinner party horchata martinis and a non alcoholic horchata martini! Highly Recommend !“
“Nice local owned restaurant serving Mexican and Peruvian cuisine. The server was very sweet and friendly. Definitely try their local inca drinks. Mine was made with Passion fruit. It was so refreshing and good. Loved their ceviche had a great kick of spice and lemon to it. Also the salted steak was very good too. Portions were large so i wrapped half of my meal to take home.“
“My first time trying this place since it changed its name. We ordered tamales, tacos and a torta. Tamales taste authentic, much larger than what I’m used too, but that’s a plus. Torta had a lot of meat, very good. Tacos were also very good, and loaded with meat. I enjoyed the salsa verde and the spicy red salsa as well. I’ve been hoping for a good authentic Mexican spot in Whitestone so I don’t have to drive to College Point or Corona, so glad I gave this place another chance.“
“1st of all, I recommend just walking in to view this place. They have decorations everywhere, and it works. They maximized the space to have a decent amount of seating plus tables, indoors and outdoors. Yes, they have a rear outdoor patio. The staff was very polite, greeting us as we entered and when exiting. I opted for the Salmon Ceviche on the menu as Tiradito de Salmon, which was very tasty, I definitely recommend it. Since the serving sizes were smaller fine dining portions, I ordered the hard shell fish taco, Tacos Dorados, which were decent, but the Ceviche was much better.“
“This is the real deal!! Maria came and spoke with us while we ate and wow she is a sweetheart. We got birria tacos which are astonishingly good. I will be back to get my Mexican food fix with Maria. It’s a tiny little shop but has the spirit to fill all of queens.“
“Decided to celebrate Taco Tuesday when visiting in Astoria. We arrived around 7, just missing Happy Hour but regardless I needed a drink. Started out with their signature. It was perfect! For our entrees we had the chicken tacos and the camarones al ajo. Definitely hit the spot. We passed on dessert but will be back!“
“I absolutely loved this place. Totally memorable. I celebrated my husband's 60th birthday and they went above and beyond on thier hospitality. I really was pleased I chose this place. The food was very enjoyable and very nice presentation, a succulent artistry . The owners are so sweet. I wish them the best in success for thier business.“
“10/10 Would Definitely recommend. Only issue I had was I was charged 3 different prices for margaritas. It was Margarita Monday and the AD said all margaritas where $6.Regardless of this everything was amazing. The food came out quick!Ended the date with the churro bits (it was too good I forgot to take a picture)“
“This place was a first try for me, the atmosphere was down to earth and the employees handled my order with a smile. And they even have Mexican soda. The food was amazing and my most favorite dish was the steak birria tacos. It was PHENOMENAL.Vegetarian options: There are veggie tacos and they also have a veggie taco salad.Kid-friendliness: There are mini sized tacos for kids and other things that come small sizes. Perfect portion for kids.“
“After a miscommunication with our reservation time for 15 of us, Eliseo went out of his way to accommodate us as best he could. Dinner was wonderful, everything everyone ordered was delicious. I had the Korean tacos and they were so good. They also make the guac right in front of the table and was delicious, you get to choose if you want spicy or not. Highly recommend this place if you want to indulge in some Mexican food with a Mariachi band that takes requests on a Friday night. Our server Jay was a delight and he was extremely attentive to our every need. The decorations were beautiful! I loved it here and will be coming back soon!“
“Stumbled here waiting for my car at dealership. I saw the rating and was sold. We dined in. Let me tell you. Get the damn chicken quesadilla!!! It is absolutely delicious. The moment I took a bite and felt the cloudy texture of the right amount of cheese, meat and tortilla. Incredible find. Their steak burrito was filled with a boat load of meat. Highly satisfied. I’m coming here again for sure.“
“We came on a Saturday for a college reunion. They had a live performer who kept a great ambiance. I tried one Spice Mango Daiquiri and ended up having three as it was so refreshing and flavorful. Definitely coming back. Recommended for groupsWheelchair accessibility: It’s on the first floor. Has a ramp by the entrance.“
“We love coming to WTG, food and drinks are always delish!!! We have been coming here for a long time and we must say Carson is the best waitress we’ve encountered! She is beyond sweet and very attentive. Jerry the manager who has been here for a long time is also great. Always checking on customers. Keep up the good work!“
“I discovered this gem via a google search and needed a same day order for 16 people. They open early and when I called they were SO helpful and confirmed they could have the food ready later that day. The food was neatly packaged and hot when picked up. The group loved everything - burritos; tacos; quesadillas; guacamole; and pico de gallo. Food was authentic and delicious - highly recommend!!!“
“Ordered for the first time through seamless and wow! this food was sooo good. I ordered multiple things off the menu to try, and i have to say the star of the show were the tamales de rajas con queso. AMAZINGGGGG!! on top of it all, the food arrived HOT!totally ordering from here again.“
“I ate here yesterday September 23rd, 2023 between 10:30pm 11:15pmSo I need to address the ELEPHANT in the room…..Was I served JOLLOF RICE?!! Because when I had seen my plate come out the kitchen… I won’t lie i literally thought it was JOLLOF RICE… but after tasting it, I immediately knew it wasn’t. But LET IT BE KNOWN SAN JOSE’s RICE AND BEANS WAS PHENOMENAL! Perfectly cooked fluffy rice; beans was cooked amazingly!My chips and salsa tasted fresh and homemade so that was enjoyable!Now for the MAIN EVENT….After a long day of mailman business and dropping off supplies at my family’s spot. I was craving A WRAP OR SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH EXTRA CONDIMENTS(y’all know how I do). So I had to dig deep and remember I’ve eaten at this establishment before but never reviewed this place yet.I ordered the chicken and chorizo quesadilla (homemade corn tortilla)… FLAWLESS. The chicken was seasoned well balanced. Chorizo didn’t taste like it was cheap packaged meat. Everything to my point of view was fresh and good quality. But I must say I’d wish the ratio of bread to meat. I would of preferred a bit more meat…but there is an option for that. Bathroom was decent.. overall the night was ended beautifully with a live performance from some local artist who was singing karaoke which was also beautiful. Yeah I was mostly paying attention to my late dinner but anyway. It was goood. It’s all good. The staff were good. Food high quality made to order.Please support the locals !Dietary restrictions: You have lots of alternatives.Kid-friendliness: Just make sure you order for the kid. But it is family friendly.“
“They do not serve the food cold! That's a freaken lie! I live a few blocks away and shop sometimes right after and when i get home its still hot! So please don't believe that. The lines of people speaks for itself! The foods is so delicious and fresh and rated top best on 12 News! Try for yourselfIt's also sad that people give it 1 star because they had to give a tip ! ???“
“We've been coming to this 100% Gluten free restaurant for about a year now. The food is always delicious. The service is fantastic. They provide great service with a smile and relax atmosphere. My son needs to eat Gluten free and he loves coming to eat here. The burrito, enchiladas, and yucca fries are delicious. The chicken and steak fajita is very good. My son loves the chicken tenders and fries, my daughter loves the beef tacos. This is a great GF restaurant. I definitely recommend.“

“Honestly it’s amazing, the meat is juicy and tender. The salsa as well has amazing flavor with a kick of spice. I 100% recommend trying this place out, the lady’s inside are kind and service is quick.In the photo it is their Carnitas tacos“
“Great. Local taco place. Word has it. The drinks are pretty good too though I haven't tried them. If you want to authentic Mexican food (and most of us don't know what that is anyway), this is not the place, but it's reliable, it's consistent, and it's pretty darn good.“
