Delicious Mexican food . Highly recommend the burritos . When they say "cheese ," they mean the Mexican stuff, not the cheddar you might think.
Chill vibes. Walked in at 11 pm, had some good food, they handed out free Insomnia Cookies . Very homey . Got the chicken tacos , they have us free chips and dip !
Grab the horchata - it's the source of the Vampire Weekend song. Used to grab tacos here once a week in college. Not California-quality, but don't listen to anyone that says Chipotle's better.
Best tacos in the west side. Lengua is my favorite! Friendly staff and mixed clientele (mostly regulars). Don't order anything else if it is your first time.
Get the giant burrito . I dare you to finish it in one sitting... Milanesa torta is a delicious mexican sandwich , horchata is goooooooooood.
I grew up eating at this place all the time. The burritos are amazing. Also try the alambres! Definitely a hidden gem of the upper west side.
I went with the carne enchilada torta . The outside of the bread wasn't as crusty as I've had it before—but I'm no bolillo expert and it was still delicious.
I've been coming here for 9years. For the perfect meal get a grapefruit jarritos , a carnitas taco , and a tamale . Also, the burritos and tortas are worth every penny.
Their tacos de lengua are great, and I ordered a chicken tamale with tomatillo sauce that I'd recommend, too! Pretty filling at a low price.
Taqueria y Fonda is the kind of divey place that anyone—young or old, but definitely hungry—can hold near and dear to their stomachs.
Some of the biggest burritos I've ever seen (the tortillas almost didn't cover the burrito insides!).I had their huevos rancheros and their horchata ; both were solid. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Best Authentic Mexican Food Ever. Tacos and Quesadillas are good. The homemade chips are one of a kind.
The burritos live up to their advance billing: They're huge - and relatively inexpensive . Also? There's often a code for 10% off on Mondays and Tuesdays. (As of March 2011, it's "SPRING.")
Great, affordable mexican food . Free chips & 3 different salsas when you eat there. You get a lot of food for your money, too.
Great tacos , where else in the area can you get a meal for less than 4 bucks!?
Giant burrito for the win. The carnitas were smooth and tasty.
Mole rojo w pork ! 3 housemate salsas ! Generous portions
So good and fresh. I had the veggie quesadilla .
It's nothing fancy but the food is great and the people are nice.
Their food is super delicious. Definitely worth the journey from across town .
Giant burrito is great, and so are the tacos
The cesina tostadas are delicious!
Solid horchata and homemade lemonade to wash down the delicious tacos
Chicken salad with the string cheese is amaze.
Bombass Mexican. Order the tacos or the enchiladas verdes .
burritos are bigger and more fresh than chipotle, yet at the same price.
Get the Milanese Torta and a Tamarind Jarritos , you won't be sorry
Truly shows how starved this area is for good food, because it's one of your best options for price and taste but doesn't at all stack up to any good mexican food in NYC
Burritos are huge. Tortas are great. Chips are wonderful. Essetially, amazing.
Try the tortas !
Their avocado salsa is like the holy grail of salsas .
Don't sleep on this teeny hole-in-the-wall, ambiance is lacking but the food is amazing!
big mediocre tacos
Very popular with Columbia students. Cheap and good food. Also have Mexican beers .
It was 14 dollars for 3 tacos and they didn't have meat on them, nottttt the place if you want a cheap eat!
Great neighborhood place . Good food, good people.
Chicken pipian, chicken chipotle , chicken chile ajo. All are musts!
Street mexican food as it should be! Reminded me of my days in mexico city
The burritos are EASILY big enough for two.
Naoples tacos ????
The tacos-obviously.
dont get the sopas . extremely bland taste, especially the Chilate. but other than that cant go wrong with the burritos .
chicken enchiladas are way juicy!
Try the Dos Sopes de Chorizo
This hole in the wall is much better than Chipotle.
Good Mexican Street Style food.
shhhhhhhhhhhh. don't let everybody find out!
Try the Whole Tilapia !
enchiladas verdes was tight, liked it better than the mole
Giant burrito is amazing.
