    Tacos de Birria de Res (order of 3)
    James B.

    I decided to order from here recently. The beef taco I got was soooo good! The beef was nice and tender and juicy. The food was well seasoned. The prices are not that bad either. Will order from again.

    This place is fantastic! Always high energy music yet casual atmosphere and the food and drinks are great! Service is really good too

    I came here for taco Tuesday and must I say this place does not disappoint! We were seated promptly and were given time to look over their large menu. The food is made fresh so be patient if your starving. There Mojitos are strong and really good! Our waiter provided everything before our food arriving and they don't rush you to leave which I enjoyed. Be aware that the waiters are very busy also preparing delivery orders. Please give this restaurant a try and dine in it's such a chill place. FYI: Don't leave without ordering a mojito

    Enchiladas Rojas Enchiladas Verdes

    Food was great along with the service. Got a pitcher of margarita and it strong yet delicious. Clean and plenty of seating. Staff was very fun and friendly.

    Pernil. Delicious seasoning, unique. And, the pickled onions with habaneros were amazing.

    The food was very, very good. Portions were huge and we could not eat it all. We ordered the pernil, red enchiladas, rice with beans, cactus, and horchata. It was all delicious. The waitress wasn't sure what was gluten free, but she checked with the kitchen so I could eat safely; that was appreciated very much.

    My family and I came here for dinner afyer one of my son's courses at Fordham University. We were starving and, yet again, Yelp came through when we started searching for optimal dining options. I am SO in love with one of the Northeast locations that, when I saw there was one nearby, I jumped on the opportunity to try them out. I mean, this location is so much closer to my home that the sheer convenience could make me gain another 100 lbs. Unfortunately, this location just doesn't compare to the Estrellita Poblana IV location on Tremont Ave, IMO. My husband may disagree because he used to work at St. Barnabas Hospital and this was his go-to lunch spot but his opinion doesn't count here...lol Mostly, I was not impressed by the service. The food is still very good. I love the Shrimp Enchiladas Suiza. It doesn't matter which location I visit, I WILL order this every time. This restaurant is much smaller than the Tremont location and they don't offer much in the alcohol department. With that being said, the restaurant is very clean and parking was readily available, right in front. I would probably come back just because they're so close. It may feel like cheating but if I imaging the 6 train, then I guess it doesn't count. Right?

    If you want authentic Mexican food, come here! Great service and the food is amazing and non-expensive.

    Chips and salsa
    Ashley M.

    This was a nice little Mexican spot right in the middle of the Bronx Little Italy. The chips and salsa are complimentary, which is at it should be . The salsa was nice and smoky and the chips weren't fresh out the oil but they were good. I ordered the Barbacoa tacos (the goat...they also have beef). My boyfriend ordered the steak tacos. Let me just say that they give you a huge amount of meat in each taco. They have a $9 special for three tacos and I could only eat two. The goat in my tacos was very tender and I thoroughly enjoyed them with some lime and pickled onions (yes I added more onions on top of the onions already on the taco...so what) which they give you on the side to add. I tried my boyfriend's tacos and I liked the steak better. The flavor was better, but honestly both were good. We also ordered juice. I had tamarindo and bae had fresh pressed OJ. The juice was good as well. The music they were playing was great, a lot of Spanish trap (which I like). The service was prompt and our waiter was nice and our total check came to $27. Not bad at all! Overall the vibe was nice, good service, good food and low prices. I'll definitely be back!

    Guacamole $4 size small
    Tina N.

    I usually order from the sister store in westchester square but I decided to order through Uber eats from the Arthur Ave location. Both locations if not all raised their prices up before the pandemic and the quantity has totally went down. I ordered a small guacamole for $4 from the Arthur Ave location and it was the size of a sauce container. No joke. The large size is the size of a small soup container (like from a deli) $12.... I also ordered a chimichanga - Arthur Ave location separated the rice and beans from the chimichanga and provided two small burritos which is fine but the rice portion was so small. When I opened the wrapping a good portion was noticeably empty...

    They hung up on me twice because they couldn't speak English. Plus for a plate of rice, beans and chicken and a side salad is $22. Smh.

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.
