Place is amazing and a hidden gem so far on the UES! Please give it a shot! The falafel is unreal, the burritos are so good, and the schwarma is the best! And omg I just tried the Caesar salad and got the following dish... are you kidding me with this portion? Huuuge and amazing! The prices are so cheap and the service is so friendly.

AWESOME & DELICIOUS 👍👍🏾👍🏽👍🏿 This is the best kept secret on first ave. The intimate setting is casual and relaxing. They offer great tacos, chips, salsa etc…. At a very reasonable price. My favorite is the $6.00 margarita happy hour. It’s a great place to sit out side and people watch! CHECK IT OUT!

Great food and atmosphere. In a very hip section of 1st avenue and 74th Street. Even though in covid lots of people around. The owner is very Hands-On and friendly. You get paid attention too! And man, did you see those baskets of fries!

Stopped by on a work trip and was pretty quiet walking in but greeted promptly and sat at a clean table and the menu was great I ordered the Biria burrito with guacamole and horchata. Every was delicious and they even have some great hot sauce in little squeeze bottles. Great spot for lunch. With tip came out to $30 pretty good lunch and very prompt service. Would absolutely return.

This is a recent discovery for us in the neighborhood, and we're happy to have found it. The menu is eclectic in alignment with the restaurant name, and the dishes that we've had so far have been great (the bowls are particularly terrific!). I'm already looking forward to our next visit there, and give the Mexiterranean Grill a great review. Please keep up the great work!

10/10 across the board. Been coming here for a while now. These chicken flautas were the best I’ve ever had! Had so much flavor! I usually get their chicken quesadillas. Anytime I come, I get their happy hour frozen margaritas. Honestly 2 of them will get you to where you need. The staff and waitress were so accommodating and nice. They always have a customer.

Nice neighborhood Mexican place serving up good tacos and excellent margaritas. I’m not sure I get why a few middle eastern dishes also feature on the menu -apart from the name of the place - but haven’t tried them so can’t really comment. The tacos were all on point though - the carnitas being my favorite. And the margaritas were excellent, especially the spicy mango.

Great service! Waitress is very attentive. They were about to close and she kindly said she would keep the kitchen open for us. She also gave us menu recommendations.

Love coming here! However, I’ve been trying to contact the business to solve a discrepancy between my credit card statement and the receipt I received…don’t want to leave this on a public platform but if there’s a number I can contact, that would be great!

We visited on Valentine’s Day and were pleasantly surprised we could still use our Groupon voucher. Carlos was kind, attentive, and never lost his smile despite the crowd. The bartender was also friendly and served our requested shots. The breakfast burger and steak enchiladas verde were delicious, and the homemade hot sauce was a standout. Fresh fruit and tasty soup too we’ll definitely be back!

Staying in NYC for a few weeks and this was the 1st place we chose to eat, because it's Cinco De Mayo! The place is small with several 2 seat and 4 seat arrangements. We got lucky and got seated quickly (reservations are good). The menu is a uniquely weird mix of Mediterranean and Mexican food, but the food leans 80/20 to the Mexican side. For example falafel was on the menu, and it was good. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. We had the tortilla soup which was tasty, but needed more ingredients, my sisters homily soup was more brothy. Staff was busy but attentive. We both got enchiladas mole and salsa verde. We enjoyed it immensely, we took the leftovers home for breakfast. Lastly I need to mention the yogurt smoothie, it was SO good! I got two and the 2nd one was better than the 1st. So if you go definitely get the yogurt smoothie. Will probably go back to sample the other items. 5/8 - got the Happy Hour special frozen margaritas and the molcajete grill special ($47) for 2 people. Wow, what a steal! We also got the flautas app. These were really good, bite sized tacitos. 5/9 - we ordered from GrubHub got the bowls, good portion, not too heavy, better than Chipotle.

The falafel platter ($12, plus tax) was a healthy, tasty meal. It comes with 5 pieces of falafel on a bed of greens, hummus, tahini and a pita. For a nonalcoholic beverage, I would recommend the cucumber-lime aqua fresca ($7 for the large). It had the right balance of freshness, acidity, and mild sweetness…definitely a great summer drink.

The food and drinks were average. Food came out luke warm and drinks took a while. I think if we made it for happy hour, margs would be good for the price. The waitress was nice and attentive.

I came to try some Mexican taco specials but when I got on my table the dish completely does not describe tacos at all. Just a Platter with rice and beans with over grilled chicken. I ordered taco Platter. 60 percent of chicken was burned. Sorry, not coming back.

Great service. However, all of the food was unbelievably sweet for some reason. Even the salsa was like a dessert.
