Amazing tortas 🙌🎉✨💯
Buen lugar comida rica
Autentic mexican food
La comida real
A must food stop for any foodie exploring New York! A genuine « Mom & Pop » from Mexico. We had an amazing Burrito and a unique specialty Cemitas sandwich (Chorizo con Huevos) plus delicious jalapeño sauce on the side... just see the pics!
Delicious food! very affordable and fast, warm and inviting atmosphere. Guy has been running it since the 90s and it shows 👍
Authentic Mexican very far North of the border. Burritos are an entire buffet in a tortilla. Great value generous portions friendly staff. Worth a detour.

delicious torta
My boyfriend whom Is from Mexico suggested I tried to get a taste of what real Mexican food is like . After trying the Sope with carne enchilada I can say he was right! The food is Delicious, authentic, fresh homemade style. (My favorite torta to try is Milanesa de Rez with avocado) On a side note certain plates take long to prepare because they are made from scratch (not a bad thing)I suggest to call and time ahead for efficiency. I recommend 100%.
This place is so freaking good. Lots of options everything I’ve tried is delish but I especially love the tortas and flautas. Must try.
The Best Tortas in the neigborhood!!!!! I feel I'm in Mexico eating en el Mercado the delicious tortas ... super gooooood!!!!
I had a large cemita with chorizo. Delicious and very filling!

Love they food
Super authentic Mexican food in a lovely, relaxed environment, made by great people.
The best tortas I've had, maybe ever! I especially recommend the torta al pastor. My boyfriend is from California and this is one of our go-tos whenever he visits. I always want to try something new but the tortas are honestly just perfection. They come with avocado, oaxaca cheese, and everything else you can possibly want.

Came here for their tortas, which are supposed to be amazing. Tried the carnitas torta. The sandwich was fine, built and layered well. However, the carnitas was more fat than meat. Definitely order something else in the menu and also avoid the horchata. They use a powdered mix.
