    two burritos on a plate
    Zack G.

    Hole in the wall Mexican spot in a shady hood (Soundview) that has extremely authentic food. The menu is fairly large, but a lot of it is in spanish. I got a smoothie and 2 tacos (chicken and beef) and I was very impressed. Complimentary chips and salsa, but the chips were very stale The place is a little outdated, but the people were very friendly. They were not the most attentive however, and I didn't get my water refilled the entire time I was there *Pro-tip* Do not drive here, there is absolutely no parking anywhere around the place Bib Gourmand 2018 8

    It was such a cute place and the food was good. Was in the area and decided to check it out. The staff was ni e and the food was really good. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

    chicken enchiladas

    amazing chicken enchiladas, better than what we had on our recent trip to mexico. i can see why the place has a michelin star plaque.

    Pork and chicken torta

    The food here was excellent. The staff, although not everyone was fluent in English, was very helpful. I loved my pork and chicken torta. The fries were crinkle and fried crispy like I love it.

    Food was good. Staff could have been more attentive. The salsa was really spicy but that's how it should be so I can't complain.

Being…read morefrom California, I definitely missed the Mexican food scene, so I wanted to try Taqueria Tlaxcalli to taste a bite of home. When we entered, we were greeted with kind smiles from the ladies and they welcomed us to sit at any free table. Inside has lots of decor with ample seating. We sat and a server grabbed us menus. We got a carnitas burrito, grilled cactus side, horchata, and strawberry limeade (per her recommendation). Everything came so fast, and they even split the burrito for us! Oh my god, everything was so good. This has to be one of the BEST burritos I have ever had, comparable to the ones in San Diego. I love carnitas, and they do it so well here. It was tender, flavorful, just the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning! And the horchata was the best I have ever had too! The strawberry limeade was refreshing, and the grilled cactus was good! It was my first time trying it and it reminded me of aloe vera/okra texture. I had such a great time, such a great experience, I will definitely be back!

They have options for dining in or taking out and were quite efficient We went with a burrito and a few tacos - the burrito is massive, I would say it's meant for two people at once and filled with rice, meat, vegetables, thick flour tortilla and covered with different sauces - it is very heavy! The tacos are Mexican-style with meat and vegetarian options and were simply delicious. The meats we got - carnitas, steak, chicken were all cooked great with tender juiciness. They gave ample lime and sauces to pair as needed. Prices felt reasonable. Overall taqueria tlaxcalli had exceptional Mexican food for NYC with very good hospitality and dining options and I highly recommend! The tacos were a tier above my favorite NYC tacos - Santos, Los tacos no 1 and carnitas Ramirez.

I usually go to the Westchester Square spot as it's the location closest to my parents, but I've also been to their restaurant in Kingsbridge and (most recently) this one on Westchester Ave. The standard items one would expect to find at a Mexican restaurant are on EP's menu. What makes them stand out for me though, is the vast selection they have within each menu section and the quality of they food they serve. My usual go-tos are their burritos and tacos - they offer a variety of proteins to complement and they're always delicious. Outside of that, their soups are great as well as their nachos. I've only eaten in-house a few times; my standard is takeout and it's always ready by the promise time. Overall, Estrellita is a resounding yes for me; they are one of the best examples of quality and consistency, and I would always recommend them for good Mexican food in the Bronx.

I go for the mojitos alone. While I have not tried many things on the menú what I did makes me want to try more.
