MÉXICO 🇲🇽 Eat the World NYC review: Marble Hill is home to a tiny little taqueria with a name just as odd for New York City as the history of how the neighborhood is part of Manhattan. In the area's most southerly street, overlooking the tracks of Metro North and the Harlem River, a few steps down brings you into Taqueria Sinaloense, of course named for the state of Sinaloa in northwest México known for some of the most delicious cuisine in all the country.
Unfortunately for New York City, most people from this state have remained out west. Los Angeles, much of southern California, and Arizona are populated with Sinaloan restaurants, where even regional differences and rivalries between the cities of Culiacán and Mazatlán can be tasted in neighboring establishments. We briefly were entertained by a restaurant in Queens of the same name that whetted the appetites of even the paper of record before closing down suddenly after less than a year.
After somewhat of a disappointment with the rest of the order, the pozole was pure joy. In Sinaloa the pozoles are normally red with chile pasilla or chile ancho, but they go a step further here and turn the pork hominy soup into a fiery dream with chiles de arbol, a much spicier cousin.

Read moreUpstate Manhattan isn't really known for true Mexican food. So go to Marble Hill and check out this Northern Mexican place. Not fancy, small but with space for a counter, a table and a TV tuned to Telemundo. Extensive menu. Friendly service. Down the street from the Metro North Marble Hill stop. I had three different tacos, my wife had two and chicken soup. Food is made to order and delicious. Mexican sodas are available. For 5 tacos, soup and a soda, the bill was $25. Certainly worth it. My wife said her "sopa de pollo" was homemade. Too bad they'd run out of tamales, we were told they sold quickly in the morning (tried the chicken móle on another visit: great). We've been back. I believe they deliver. We took ours home. (If you like spicy salsas, ask for the red, and then be prepared to add...
Read moreDon’t listen to any negative reviews! If you call, speak clearly, you’ll get your food. Quickly 99% of the time (that means i ordered at least 100 times) What kind of jerk leave a negative review because the app didn’t work?? Anyway... This is the best mex in the area by a mile!!!
I highly recommend the chicken milanesa borrito with guacamole, Or the fish!
They got their own delivery guy, so sometimes they take a bit of time to get there, but that’s because they’re busy, because guess what...the food is great! It’s a tiny kitchen, one cook. Give him a break! I really don’t care if the cook is a nice guy, what the hell..? Since when “nice” is an important trait for a cook... people...ugh All I care is that he’s a good cook, working with fresh ingredients. And he is nice... to...
