“ Had a wonderful dinning experience at this family restaurant. The presentation of everything we ordered was done so tastefully. And the flavors knocked it out of the park. Don't pass up an opportunity to dine here! ”

“ The food here is delicious and authentic. I really enjoyed my meal ! The desserts are good as well and the Mexican cocoa was out of this world. I recommend this restaurant! ”

“ The food, service and pricing was on point. We had brunch on a weekend and it was delicious! The steak and eggs were perfection and their salsa (with sweet citrusy touch) was the perfect complement. We will come back! ”

“ Many good times have been had here. The food is very good but the agua frescos are amazing in the summertime when you are just strolling around the block. Service is always friendly and the dining room is super clean. ”

“ Unassuming from the outside, but this place certainly checks a lot of boxes! The decor is modest and simple, but it makes for a homey atmosphere that feels far more authentic than most other glitzy Mexican restaurants. The staff were nice and the prices were pretty standard. Chips and salsa tasted homemade, but I found the salsa overwhelmingly sweet. Rest of the food was good- certainly above average- but nothing to rave home about. However, I don't think it's fair to come here with your standards that high. This place certainly met my standards for a casual "corner restaurant" in New Rochelle. ”

“ Salsas Galore in a Mexican Restaurant in New Rochelle Mexican restaurants aren't my favorites. But each cuisine and every authentic restaurant I try is a learning opportunity, and a glimpse of the culture and my way of meeting locals. That's why I don't only go to favorites, I try different places. And when I'm in the mood to ask questions to wait staff, restaurant managers, owners and chefs, I come right when they opened because it's not yet busy and the staff are usually more accommodating. Recently, we did go to a neighborhood Mexican spot with a big selection of Mexican classics. On this visit, I noticed that this cuisine is big on sauces and dips. John, the manager, educated us on their sauces that he was so proud of. First is salsa de arbol that are always two kinds, the verde (green) and the rojo (red). He even showed us the fried chilis used for making the red sauce. Another familiar sauce that I like is the pico de gallo, a fermented sauce usually made with fermenting agent such as rice water or whey. It's made with fresh chopped tomato, cilantro, onions, serrano peppers, salt and lime juice. Being fermented, adding pico de gallo to food is a big boost to the gut and microbiome. Then we have the sauces for our enchiladas (I forgot to take pictures) that are also two -- salsa verde and the mole. The salsa verde is distinct from the green salsa de arbol. It's made creamier and more herby. Then there is the mole, a classic Mexican sauce made with chocolate, dried chiles, peanuts, sesame seeds, cinnamon and anise. And of course, we had the guacamole, an avocado-based sauce that is popular all over the world. Last but not the least is the bottled Tapa Tio, it's a Mexican hot sauce brand that I often seen in many Mexican restaurants. We had an abundance of sauce. And guess what --- they all came free with the food while other restaurants would have charged extra. #curious_eater #supportinglocalbusinesses #nrny #newrochelleny ”

“ I rode my scooter over from Mt Vernon, because every weekend, I am always on the search for the best authentic Mexican food. This is a simple, unassuming place, very clean, with outstanding service that makes the customer feel like family. The food didn't blow me away, but I would make the trip to try it at least one more time, based on the service and the cleanliness of the place. ”

“ This place is awesome. Home made tortilla chips were the best. I got a carnitasb dish, and my sorry gringo ass was expecting shredded pork (like at Chipotle), so I was a little disappointed to find out cut into chunks... but let me tell you... that dish is delicious, served with rice, refried beans, avocado, and caramelized onion... I would have finished it, but then I'd soon be looking for a public bathroom and might have to resort to a port-o-potty on a construction site... definitely no-can-do! This is a fairly small restaurant, and the service is great. John, the owner, is on the floor and very approachable. Every restaurant owner knows that their restaurant is only half as good when they're not around... I've done it myself. John says he's been there for almost 30 years. Bravo, John... I don't live nearby, but I'll be back soon. ”

“ This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. We keep trying new ones, just to explore, but keep coming back here. The atmosphere is simple, but homey and clean. We have gotten to know the husband/wife owners over the years, who are friendly and chatty with us whenever they are there. The wait staff is friendly, efficient and helpful. The food is fresh and authentic (to the extent we can attest as Americans). Some of my favorites are the flautas, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, pozole, horchata, etc. Prices are reasonable and a variety of beers are served. Highly recommended. ”
