Wonderful hole in the wall. Fajitas, pozole and tacos were delicious & gave a good quantity for the prices. My only critique is that their tortillas are quite mid and they don’t give enough of them for the fajitas.

If you want to have an authentic Mexican meal! This is the place! I love the Menudo and Pozole. They also have a great store next door to buy all your favorite Latin American snacks.

I didn't go in so I can only speak to the food. It was AMAZING. My husband from SWFL felt like he was back home.

This is a great Tienda Mexicana! Im from Utica area and have been looking for a tienda just like this. Reminds me of the ones in NYC. You can buy fresh Pan Dulce 🥐, all the different dry peppers, cheeses, and many other Latino goods. I wanted to try the restaurant but we had to leave town before that section opened. Everything smelled delicious though and I definitely look forward to trying it next time we’re in the Electric City

I had the beef tongue tacos and the menudo. Both were absolutely fantastic. Well seasoned and authentic Mexican cuisine staff was extremely friendly and attentive food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in the Schenectady area

This place is absolutely fantastic. I went here occasionally to pick up some groceries and their selection of authentic Mexican goods is great, especially in an area where finding Mexican-made products can be difficult. A few months ago I decided to try their restaurant food, and was blown away. I got Mexican street tacos, with beans and rice, and it was so delicious and authentic that this place has become one of my go-to’s for dinner. The prices are also very good. I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for the most authentic Mexican food around Schenectady.

Absolutely delicious! I got three tacos- al pastor, carnitas, and chorizo, all were incredible. Margarita was sufficient. Rice and beans were ok. Overall a great place and the attached grocery store is very nice!

Food is so good!! Super affordable and big portions, too. They are also very fast and courteous with their service. Can't wait to come back and try more things (as well as hit up the grocery store section)

Authentic Mexican food with other south American influences. The atmosphere is basic, but food is delicious with good value for the portion sizes. The guacamole is very tasty. The menu is not huge, but there are some original dishes and variations. Definitely try the tacos, carnitas or Al pastor. The flaun is a delicious dessert to end the meal. Parking is tight, but there is more around back. There were many Spanish and Mexican people eating there when we were so it speaks to thr native flavors they offer. Don't forget to drop by the store for some different foods you can't find elsewhere.

Authentic delicious Mexican restaurant with grocery store next door. We had the chicken tacos 🌮 served with fresh cilantro, radishes and lime juice. We also shared a fresh guava juice. Gluten free options as the tortillas were 🌽 corn.

I love this place because it's a restaurant, a bar, and a grocery store! The grocery is organized and you can get lots of items. The restaurant & bar has a vibrant atmosphere due to the colors everywhere. The food is great too!

Wonderful little restaurant. Service was fast and friendly. The food...the best we've had outside of Mexico! Very family friendly. When finished eating, check out the attached Mexican Grocery (fyi...they sell elotes in the grocery. We did not see it on the restaurant menu.) Highly recommended!

Amazing authentic Mexican food! They have a great variety on their menu with reasonable prices. Imported sodas and Mexican beer. Clean environment and friendly staff. There is also a store front with imported candies, food, peppers, etc.

Authentic Mexican food that has good prices and a fair variety. I definitely recommend the chorizo tacos or bistec tostadas. Must visit!

Authentic Mexican food. Been here twice and had the steak tacos both times. Hot chips and fresh salsa start you off. Cold drinks to be had. The tacos are superb. And the price is amazing. Two dollars for a taco. They offer two sauces for your food and one is spicy hot but not overpowering. This is a "Hole-in-the wall" food joint in the best sense of that phrase. It''s an area original. You can bet I'll be back. UPDATE- Second time was even better. Tried the chicken and pulled pork tacos along with the steak this time and WOW, this place is truly the best Mexican food around.
