I have a suspicion that lamenting the Mexican food scene in NY is a tired talking point and those who are more in the know know where to get fire Mexican food so it's embarrassing for me to harp on this. So it was with great anticipation that I walked over to Taqueria Maria and Ricardo for what I kept reading was really good eats. While the food wasn't disappointing it wasn't good enough for me to want to return to either. I tried a grilled shrimp rice plate with rice and beans as well as a chicken burrito. I just think everything is lacking salt and oomph, but it was perfectly serviceable. It's a small spot where you pay at the counter and someone will bring your food to you if you set up at one of their few tables. But I think it's mostly a takeout & delivery operation. At least their portions are decently sized.

Usually Tuesdays are Taco Tuesdays.. at first I craved tacos especially shrimp. But then I saw my favorite Cheese Enchiladas in green sauce, black beans with rice, that's what I ordered.

Their menu chicken empanadas were also tasty but a bit hard with a nice chipotle side sauce. Their extensive menu has a lot to offer: birria tacos, burritos, flautas, salads, quesadillas, tostadas and more.

Some other notable things that you should get is the quesadillas and the nachos they have. I'll have to keep coming back to try other things.

I really enjoyed my experience in this establishment. Definitely was worth the trek from Uptown…read moreManhattan. This neighborhood gem offers an industrialized minimalist form of decor with pops of color and art. Cozy but roomy, the bar area had mostly 2 seater tables and a few with high chairs. We recently went for a birthday brunch. Restaurant Week was still in effect but we decided to choose from the regular brunch menu. Place was low key and giving neighborhood vibes. The service was 10 STARS! Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. We were also checked on by a second staff member who I think may have been a manager but cannot be certain. We started with cocktails and they serve chips and salsa gratis. I had the Jalapeno and Hibiscus Margarita and my friend ordered the Pepper Margarita with Strawberry and Chipotle. Mine was a bit on the sweet side without a hint of tequila. My friend's drink definitely was the better of the two. Not overly sweet and definitely a flavor of tequila was present. We also ordered a guacamole. I must say it was quite small and barely served 2 people. I suggest if more than 2 guests are part of the experience, order more than one. For my entree, I requested a market salad and 2 veggie tacos with a side of birria consume. Salad was very fresh and I am sure was made to order as opposed to premade a week prior and waiting in a fridge to be served. My tacos were average but satisfying. The consume was a bit disappointing as it was more of a water/broth based and not of a typical gravy consistency. It was not exciting. My friend's entree was the highlight of the experience. She had the brisket quesadilla. Never have I seen a quesadilla with a crispy outside such as this. A culinary masterpiece indeed. She consumed it all and not one complaint afterward. Delish. We did receive a complimentary Churro plate for the birthday celebration. They were drizzled with caramel and berries. Served warm, they were a dream for the palate. I did use the bathroom which was a single stall. It was clean enough but not well lit. The biggest downfall of my experience was the temperature of the restaurant. I understand it is summer, however, there was no A/C and the inside was extremely hot. I sweated through my entire experience. Even the bathroom felt like 100 degrees. We did not complain but our waitress noticed and brough a fan out to circulate the air. They do have ceiling fans but honestly I did not feel them. The management/owner should consider more temperature control methods during the hotter months as it was quite uncomfortable. To sum it up, I thought this experience was mostly positive and would patronize it again.

We had the All-American brunch which consisted of two eggs your way, bacon, fries and toast, and I opted for the fried pork chops, trying to feast on what the place is famous for. It came with yellow rice, one or two maduras and a really flavorfully dressed salad. To be honest, my favorite parts of that dish were the rice and salad which I ended up mixing together and eating that mostly. The fried pork chops were a bit on the tough side and a tad salty. Otherwise it was an enjoyable dish. My mom enjoyed her eggs and bacon and said they did that very well.
