El Mexicano Restaurant & Cafe #6 — Restaurant in New York

I LOVE this place! We got the Mexican tacos with Oaxaca cheese chorizo and peppers. $13 for 3 Mexican tacos but I swear it’s like 2 Meals in one. I usually have to eat one and save the rest for later hahah. I love coming in here when I don’t feel like cooking, with price of inflation, it feels like buying groceries to make a whole meal it would cost even more LOL. So when my fridge is empty, and I’m hungry, this is my go to. Plus, everything is extremely fairly priced, stuffed with meat, big portions, not too expensive.

I also tried the Al pastor tacos. Sooo yummy. Lots of other options for cheaper that would be just as filling (although you can’t go wrong for 3 big tacos for $12)

Lots of people say don’t have a big menu, it’s bad for business, but they offer really everything. I guess Mexican food is easy to make into anything because they’re simple ingredients, I think they have breakfast and other American foods. Definitely will try that next time when I’m craving something else. and the horchata is HUGE and yummy just like any classic horchata. It’s a liter container when you order the large. Easily can split...

This would have been a better review but today was awful. First let me state that they make fantastic freshly squeezed juice and I think they have a really good breakfast (including their tamales!) for a great price. For me they have fallen flat on lunch. I have ordered tacos (so, so), Flautas (way off the mark), salads, (decent when they don't over salt the chicken), Mexican wings w/rice & beans (yuck-rubbery undercooked wings, flavorless rice and beans) and Wraps which until today was one of the more reliable items, but the Philly wrap today was overcooked and someone has a really heavy hand with the salt shaker. It was absolutely awful, dry, crumbly, tasted solely of salt and the fries that came with it were undercooked and limp. I was so disappointed with their cooking, I almost threw away the menu along with the nasty wrap. It will be a long time before they make it back to my lunch...

Update: I have found a staple in my food on THREE occasions. My shrimp have come still raw on two occasions. The girl answering the phone is rude. She ignores any requests made so if we asked for dressing on the side, she has them put it on anyway so my coworker can’t eat it. Countless times we have not received pita bread and dressings that are supposed to come with it. But again, STAPLES IN OUR FOOD! RAW seafood. This place has really gone down the drain. Oh! And if you order through an online platform, they will adjust your price AFTER it’s been ordered for unknown reasons that they do not if you order over the phone. FINALLY, when you call to see where your food is after an hour, the girl answering the phone will tell you that Iver allows them more time. However if you call Uber, they will refund ok because it has already been more than the latest time they...
