The birria tacos and Jamaica were soooo yummy!! The girls working were also very kind and welcoming. We loved the restaurant's vibe and the music. 10/10 !! :) read more

The food was ok, I like how much sauce they gave us and the little carrot muffins that was free. The pineapple juice was sweet and not as carbonated as coke soda. I want to try more items on the menu read more

I work down the block from here but never have the time to stop to see what they have here, today I finally got to come and ordered bacon egg and cheese I told the girl very toasty I like my bread, at the end my bread was so soggy and ordered coffee no sugar but of course she added it, not too bad I guess it just that I am very picky about my bread being not very toasted, besides that it was ok I guess.. is you happen to be around I will recommend to everyone prices are affordable compared to other places in town.. read more

We stopped by here for dinner and for breakfast on two different occasions. Dinner Service: When we stopped by the restaurant for dinner the service was really quick and the food was delicious. The restaurant was packed and tons of food delivery services came in to pick up various orders. I ordered a burrito bowl, which was great and my boyfriend ordered a burrito. (If you are hungry, I recommend you order the burrito bowl, since you get much more food). My boyfriend enjoyed his burrito but he was still a little hungry after eating it. Breakfast Service: We stopped by here for breakfast and the restaurant was empty. We though we could order two smoothies and a coffee really quickly and then be on our way. After we ordered our smoothies, it took more than 10 minutes to receive them. Considering we were the only people in the restaurant, we thought we would be in and out much quicker. After this experience, we did not return for breakfast. Were the smoothies good? Yes! The Menu: The restaurant has a really extensive menu with lots of healthy choices. The prices are also really good and I would recommend it for dinner and possibly for breakfast if you aren't in a rush. read more

Why does this place look like a Subway restaurant from the front ? It didn't have a proper sign with its name so I walked by multiple times without spotting it . Anyways , I went with the quesadilla and a steak taco . The steak taco was pretty decent . A healthy portion for sure with some good spiced meat . I chose the onions and cilantro as the toppings but they offer some other option with lettuce and something else which didn't sound as appetizing . The quesadilla sucked though . The cheese overwhelmed the dish to a point that I felt it was a cheese quesadilla . It tasted way less spiced than the taco and definitely wasn't worth the 9 dollars or so I paid . Is likely not return or try just their taco if I'm in the area and need a quick and kinda healthy snack. read more

Cinco de Mayo - No Sign . Looks Like Subway Restaurant From the Outside . - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I work down the street from here and love coming here for a quick lunch. I always order their burrito bowl. The food definitely tastes more authentic than Chipotle - the ingredients are fresh, melt together and the meat is well marinated. I've tried the chicken and carnitas so far and both are seasoned well and have a nice smokey flavor from the grill. I've also tried their horchata. It was strangely watered down even though there was no ice in the drink but there's still a strong cinnamon flavor. There's also lots of seating inside the restaurant if you want to sit down and eat before heading back to office/wherever you need to go. Overall, it's a great spot for lunch and it'll satisfy your Mexican food cravings! read more

Cinco de Mayo - Chicken burrito bowl - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

While wondering around on Broadway I was craving tacos! I opened the yelp app to look for the nearest and Tacos Times Square appeared and had good rating so me and my friend stopped by. We loved the home made taste of the taco shells I got crunchy which I like better than the soft. We both got the lunch deal and got three different tacos and added our toppings. The inside was limited on seating but we went later in the day and the lunch menu was still good till 3pm!! One star is lost due to mildness of the salsas. I prefer hotter salsa even when the guy warned me that they would be spicy. read more

I've noticed this place since they opened last year and have always wanted to try this place out- especially after reading the reviews on here! Went to get lunch today- got the carnitas burrito bowl which includes pinto beans, rice, carnitas, lettuce and fresh pico. From the looks of it, the food looked really good and I was really excited to try it! I normally do not like onions, cooked or raw so typically in pico, I would pick out the onions which I did! I also realized they had onions cooked in the carnitas however that was way too much work to pick out so I pretended it wasn't there and ate it. As always, I always include the green sauce because it makes everything 10x better! Their green sauce was also tasty and had a kick to it which was enjoyable! Overall, the meal was really good and flavorful! I mixed everything together and it was comparable to eating Chipotle or Dos Toros! I would come back here to try other menu items so def recommend this spot for those looking for a tasty lunch. This is a small spot so you'd have to look to find it or you may miss it! read more

Cheaper Chipotle with less Tex Mex and more Mex...Mex. Very good Jamaica. Not super sweet. Soft tacos were pretty good though they were a bit too cool. The corn topping had a good tangy heat. In terms of meats, the chorizo was only so-so. Lacked spice. The Al pastor was a lot better. The spinach/mushrooms were excellent and like everything else outside of the tortillas, quite fresh. I'd add more heat in general. People who prefer the spicier/picante Mexican food won't like this as much. I can't give more than this without fresh tortillas but the food was good. 3.7 read more

Amazing California burritos, and you get a free soup with any purchase over $10. This burrito hit different after walking around the city all day, and the lentil soup is so refreshing. The customer service is excellent--they are very welcoming and you can tell they appreciate the business. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Came here because of the reviews. Place: is small but there are benches and stuff for you to eat there. Food: I ordered the " grilled chicken Quesadilla" and I have to say i was a bit disappointed. The chicken was a bit "meh" for me. I think the chicken needed more flavor. Also, in other places you get guacamole or sour cream with your quesadillas and mine came with just a small green sauce. I did not tried anything else but I have tried better "chicken quesadillas." Hope this helps! read more

Came in for the first time didn't know what to get! I had the chicken nachos and the size was perfect, wish I would've added guac but I know for next time! Overall, it was pretty good and fast service for lunch time. The al pastor taco was also really good. The meat was extremely flavorful, wish it had pineapple! Definitely would go back! read more

Cinco de Mayo - Chicken Nachos and al pastor taco - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I would only order the carne asada tacos. The chicken on the chicken nachos was tough & unseasoned (there was also an extreme lack of cheese). I also really liked the guacamole & green salsa, but the fish tacos also lacked seasoning & I wish they had clarified that the red salsa was a chipotle salsa. I would not have ordered it extra. What's good? The green salsa, guacamole, chips & carne asada tacos. I wouldn't order anything else though. read more

Elia's is an authentic, clean, Mexican take out restaurant, with a design-your-own style menu. While Elia's also offers enchiladas, quesadillas and other dishes, I think most midtowners looking for a quick bite will opt for the quick and customizable burrito/salad bowl/taco. These lunch options are on a chipotle style menu where you can pick your own toppings. The toppings are authentic and make the meal a step above some of the competitors - options include roasted zucchini, Mexican street corn (esquites), mole poblano, cactus salad, radish, and most of the classics that you would find at any place (beans, rice, pico, etc.) The chicken al pastor was pretty good, and the toppings make this place worth trying. It's similarly priced to chipotle, and given that it's quality authentic food, I would definitely recommend it. read more

Cinco de Mayo - The menu - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

If you ever been to Chipotle this is just like it, but better and cheaper! (Even the bowl they serve out of looks like Chipotle's) This place is authentic and the taste is of a higher quality. There's even green sauce! You know you are in a real Mexican place if there's green sauce. If you never been to Chipotle, its kind of pick what you want as you move down the line. There's a menu for items not on display to pick and choose. Where they can whip something up for you. Like quesadilla and tostadas. There's only ONE kind of tortilla, corn. I like this place because there's no line and I can take a minute to think what i want. They are even nice to tell you how many items you can pick. I went with the make your own bowl with lettuce (the lettuce looks a heck of a lot fresher than Chipotle's). There's two kinds of rice if you want that. Yellow and 'white' (its more like rice and bean rice mixed together). The meat options are great! I chose the Chicken al Pastor. Flavorful chicken with some pieces of pineapple and a kick as you eat it. For toppings, two kinds of beans and an array of vegetables, all cold items or maybe it became cold sitting out. Topped off with whatever sauce you want. If you want to dine in, it's going to be difficult. As there's only bar seating. The place is not for groups. It's more along the lines of order and go. But I'm definitely coming back to support a local place! read more

Huge fan. Shrimp tacos, crispy, with their signature hot sauce - so spicy (it's the orange one). I ordered them with onions/cilantro and they came with teh crispiest corn shells - I didn't need to order chips to go with them (save yourself the calories)! Delivery (via grubhuhb) was prompt and friendly to my office. Will be a repeat customer. read more

Very good! Highly recommend! Tasted very similar to what I'm used to in Los Angeles! Will definitely be back. read more

Cinco de Mayo - Steak & chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I saw a worker at the corner on Broadway and ran up for a flyer since I saw $1 tacos. When I walked to the store front there was another person handing out flyers and encouraging people to try out their $1 tacos. I got the chicken with tomato and lettuce taco. I had the staff member add salsa verde. What I enjoyed about this place is that a REAL corn flower tortilla was used. The chicken was Smokey and very juicy. The toppings were just toppings and didn't really add any substance to the flavor. Their chips were really good and they were presented as a sample by the cashier. For $1 I think the tacos are okay. Normally they are 3 for $8. Additionally, after talking with the staff their is a name update happening so they're now called Tacos Times Square. I got a bag of 3 muffins in order to help spread the word. The muffins were delicious. read more

These tacos and burritos are delicious!! Perfection! So glad we found this spot on yelp!

I got back from vacation craving tasty tacos and came across this place on yelp (hahaha.... not surprised huh?) and I was so happy with their chicken tacos and their yummy corn tortillas. I had them delivered for the first week, but it's right around the corner from broadway so it's not a bad walk. Lines move pretty fast and the staff is friendly and nice. Delicious and yummy.... totally satisfied my taco craving read more

I brought my daughter to NYC for the first time and we stopped in here based on Yelp reviews. Elias' is great! It's a very small, simple place with a counter and a few stools, a place to order, a kitchen, and some truly amazing food. We ordered the Veggie Mex and the Green Diablo Taquitos. The avocado sauce has some heat to it--don't order this unless you are a fan of spicy! My daughter is a vegetarian, so she very much appreciated having items on the menu she could just order without modifications. And the Green Diablo was great. The combination of flavors in each dish was excellent. The guac is awesome, with onion, lime, and cilantro flavors, and not too much salt like so many guacs out there. And the service was excellent--this is a place that makes you feel like family. This is the kind of place I would want to visit all the time if I lived in the city. As it stands, it will be a new regular spot any time we are in town. read more

Since my local burrito place closed down (RIP Oaxaca with your ever-unhappy workers), I've been on the hunt for a decent substitute. Elias is good, but not a replacement. I really loved their tacos--they were in delicious corn tortillas, with cotija cheese and enough chicken to fill me up, and a choice of two side sauces (I prefer the green goo--it's a little spicy with great flavor) over the vinegary red sauce. I was less a fan of the quesadilla--it somehow tasted almost buttery in an unpleasant way. I also appreciated that they wrapped each taco with paper so they didn't get soggy on the ride over. The muffins are fine, but stick with the little tacos. read more

I ordered a chicken burrito off of Meal Pal and had to pick it up between 12:00-12:15. I showed up at 12:03 and the burrito was ICE COLD. So they had to of made it at least a half hour before I arrived there. Why wouldn't you make it closer to the pick up time so it's fresh?! To add to the ice cold insides of the burrito were roughly 4.5 pieces of chicken throughout the entire 4 inch burrito. Basically it was a veggie burrito at that point. Would I come back to this establishment? Simply put - NO. read more

People like myself from Southern California are very stuck up regarding Mexican food and hard to please. This is one of the most authentic taqueria-style places I have eaten at on the east coast. Definitely the best place that delivers through door dash anywhere in midtown or uptown. The al-pastor taquitos, steak torta, carnitas tacos, steak tostada, and cheese flautas were all 10/10. Exactly what you would get in a top-tier taqueria in Mexico. So happy this place exists. read more

Had a terrible experience before but Elias, the owner was really nice and generous to make amends to their customers. That's what you call customer service and they really take their reviews seriously. And for that you've gained a loyal customer in us. Quality of food was really good. I had the time to enjoy my pork al pastor and Chicken quesadillas. The guac was good too. They make sure All quesadillas have the sauces. My fave sauce was the green Sauce. We'll be back soon. read more

Hands down the best tacos I've ever had. Fresh, delicious and affordable! I highly recommend the pork al pastor traditional style. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and if you visit before 12 pm, your meal is 30% off! Cannot say enough good things about this place. Definitely check it out! read more

Very much enjoyed Tacos Times Square. Great vibes and ambience. Chicken Al Pastor was the dish that my friend bought, he most definitely loved it. I really liked it too. It was amazing.. Wonderful.

Bonus that their service is so wonderful, they are so swift and friendly. Do you need another reason to stop in Tacos time Square? read more

This is my favorite lunch spot for great Mexican food, with high prices, and service. The addition of freshly squeezed juice is definitely a nice addition to their menu. I also think that saving 30% Off if you order from 11 am to 12 pm is a fantastic deal that you probably won't find anywhere else. You can also order online with a coupon code. There are many tables there; it might work for group lunches as well. read more

Ordered 3 tacos, chips, salsa and gauc for delivery and was pleasantly surprised Chicken al pastor was delicious and the tacos are good, solid portions. I liked being able to customize up to 4 free toppings. The soft tacos were a 5. The salsa and guacamole were good. I enjoyed them a lot but I've definitely had better. I highly recommend this place, especially in this neighborhood. I don't know of another Mexican restaurant with the quality and value in this area. read more

It's Currently 1:12pm. I ordered at 11:30am and still have not gotten my order. (I am located about 6 blocks away from the restaurant) I've called 3 different phone numbers and no one is answering. I HIGHLY recommend not ordering from here considering they do not answer phones, quoted 50 minutes and its been more than 90 minutes. I'm sure the food will arrive cold. This is unacceptable. Update: it's 2:22pm and all i have gotten a hold of is their location in The Bronx and a notification that my order was delivered 30 minutes ago but haven't received anything. Update: 5/11 - after chatting with the store, we were able to make amends and I tried to ordering again. The restaurant came well below the quoted tone. (They arrived 15 mins earlier than expected which was great) The Quesadillas variety was delicious! Had the chicken, sausage and pepper, and the falafel versions and they were great. Pico de Gallo was on point. Not too salty. The guacamole was superb. Enough kick to feel the spice but not burn. I will come back here again :) read more

Straightforward and affordable tacos, burritos and bowls, perfect for lunch! Very generous potion and consistent quality, either in store or delivered. They are super nice here and you get 30% off between 11AM and 12PM which is a steal for this neighborhood! read more

Decided to try this place out and felt they needed another review since they're still fairly new. I didn't see a rating sign in the window but I'll chalk it up to the fact that they haven't gotten it yet. I ordered a bowl. Food was very good, the chicken al pastor has pineapples in it which is different to me, but was very yummy. Steak tasted good too. Loved their corn, looks like they cut it off the cob. Their guac is extra but they piled it high. They have a lot of options as they have a kitchen in the back making nachos, taquitos, and much more. I'd compare it to a chipotle that has a larger selection, good if not better quality and very helpful people behind the counter making the pick and choose lunch process real easy :) read more
