    The chorizo was really good especially with that chipotle(?) sauce
    Sim L.

    I really wanted to get something to eat from El Atoradero a block away but my friend wanted drinks so we came to this relatively new Mexican spot. It was almost empty when I walked in but the place looks pretty good for Southern Blvd. This place wouldn't look out of place at all in Hell's Kitchen or on 2nd Ave. The good thing is that they have some large flavored margaritas that had a good amount of tequila inside. The chorizo was pretty good too, but I was definitely disappointed with the sopes. It was the closest thing to a picadita rellena on their menu but it didn't taste anything like it. The service was good too but it had better be since we ended up being the only people in there. I guess I'd come back for drinks with friends if I wanted to stay local, but I wouldn't suggest this as a place to go hang out.

    Their buffalo wings seasoned well and it was spicy but good ! Piña colada was good too! Highly recommend!

    Been coming here for ever five years. We first started coming here for their $5 flavored margaritas, of course that's no longer the case but I'm still loyal to this place because their food is awesome. I've basically tried everything and their menu and it's amazing.

    Prices are mazonf, they give you a lot of food without having to spend to much. For the price it has the flavor is good enough

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.
