Estrella Azteca — Restaurant in New York

If disappointment had a face, it'd be that of the Torta de milanesa (Mexican chicken cutlet sandwich) that I ate here.

I decided to order from this place using postmates and was annoyed at the 2+ hour wait time it took to get my meal. Upon calling the restaurant I was met with a man speaking in a tone indicative that he was distraught that I decided to call and ask why my food was not yet ready. On top of having me wait, my patient postmate was also there for too long. He also complained about the restaurant after I received my food.

Now the food, terrible. The torta I had bought, was stiffer than a rock. If I had chosen to throw the sandwich out of my window it may have very well killed any unsuspecting pedestrian that walked by, or broken the concrete sidewalk. I can't believe I didn't chip a tooth after taking that initial bite.

I imagine the cook was mad that I had the audacity to call the restaurant and ask about the progress of my meal.

On top of that I ordered two tacos de Chorizo which were burnt, stiff, cold, and tasted like garbage, because that's essentially what that was.

Worst 55$ purchase of my life thus far, and it sucks because I love food, and I love myself a good torta.

The nachos were surprisingly ok, although they had a weird taste to them which made the "ok" bad.

Overall, spend your money on another Mexican place because this mexican place will only bring you disappointment, and a possible...

As a Central American, this is one of my two local authentic places for Mexican food. NYC does not have many Mex places, most are TexMex or terrible food pretending to be Mex (e.g. Taco Bell). This restaurant is one of the city's few gems where you can find actual Mexican cuisine with quality high enough to satisfy Latinos. Now not everything on the menu is authentic, since they're located a few blocks away from Fordham University they cater to a lot of gringos, so their guacamole lacks salt and Lemon juice. But if you have these ingredients at home you can always "fix" it yourself. But at least the chips and the main dishes are very good and that's why I keep coming back. PLUS, one of the only locations that serves some good Huevos Rancheros. If you are a fan of Breaking Bad and never had HR yet then what are you waiting for?! Find out what the hype is for yourself! Lol I call that dish my breakfast of champions. Last note, the Sour Cream they use is NOT good, smh. My family and I always avoid it. Their sauces are good though, highly recommend. Solid 4.2 to 4.3, but since they're still one of best locations in NYC for Mex food, I...

If I could give this place 1/2 star, that's what I would rate it. Horrible experience, waited over an hour for our food, waitress didn't check in with us in over 30 minutes, we had to remind her about my kids' drinks, didn't get a water refill until we asked every time, she brought us the wrong order..... Simply a mess! Two other tables who got three after us got their food before we did, and the lame explanation we got was "they ordered something that is quick to make." It wasn't like we ordered something that required hours to make. The sangria was terrible and didn't even finish it because it had fruit that was soggy and was going bad. To tap it off, there was a $4.76 credit card surcharge that I inquired about with the waitress, who didn't have a clue about it. What a disappointing one experience, I hope no one goes through a...
