Mi Espiguita — Restaurant in New York

EDIT: Removing the one star I gave for friendly service because the restaurant’s response to my balanced review is unconscionably rude (see below). Don’t give your money to these jerks. And if you have any doubt about who to trust, go ahead and check out the MANY other reviews I have written advocating for local businesses.

Original: I had high hopes for this place because it’s always pretty busy and smells amazing inside. Service was very friendly, but the food took a lot longer than you’d expect given that it’s a takeout place, and it all turned out to be really disappointing. My burrito had several big, thick cilantro stems inside, very little flavor, and was very skimpy on beans, cheese, etc. My tostadas, which were supposed to be just chorizo, also had two or three accidental chunks of other mystery meat on them. I don’t know what was happening with my bf’s fajitas, but they were not really fajitas, just a big container of rice with some tortillas on top that had a little meat inside. Awarding one extra star because the prices are good for the area and the staff friendly as mentioned, but I’d strongly recommend against...

Great local busy place.

Remember folks Mexican food isn't made to travel and especially not well during the winter of 20-21, so! Plan accordingly!

I had the 3 chicken flautas (aka rolled tacos) with rice and beans for $7 today. Excellent all over! The rice and refried beans were excellent. Just like mom makes! And the crispy rolled tacos were filled with chicken just like I have in San Diego.

Since this was my first time having that, I look forward to going back to make sure it wasn't a one off and they are just as good the second time.

Party on....

From amazing huaraches (jumbo taco like) to super sandwiches call Tortas or cemitas (torta in spanish means cake!) lol. Tostadas are also good. Hard shell slightly flat with letuce cream and meat of your choice. Messy and hard to get used to eating without breaking up the hard shell tortilla but so good. With practice all in good time amigo:) Sorry this was my to go place other than Colombian I get Mexican. Not. That I have anything against tex-mex but mex food is just amazing. If you've been to Mexico for spring break you know what I mean. :)...
