Always amazing! Interesting and healthy options. I love the creative fusion in each entree.

Some eateries endure multiple revisits with consistent quality, while some don't. This place belongs to the latter category. My husband and I had lunch there a couple years ago, and were so impressed by that experience that we'd wanted to go back ever since. Somehow every time we visited Pleasantville it was outside the open hours of this place. Finally we got a chance ... only to be somewhat disappointed. It is kinda hole-in-the-wall establishment, with indoor and outdoor seating. We both ordered falafel sandwich in pita pocket. There was no table service. You order at the counter, pay, sit somewhere, wait for your food to turn up at the counter, and fetch it. The taste was not bad, but the falafels were far too mushy, instead of the grainy crunchiness on the surface that signifies "freshly fried". I guess that would be the 2nd and last time we'd ever eat there. read more

Whoa where did this place come from? We ordered from here for delivery last night. I couldn't believe it. Israeli Mexican fusion? GTFO. What an ingenious combination. There are so many things here that sound incredible but I ultimately went for a falafel bowl. You can choose a base which, if memory serves, was a selection of grains or kale, I went with the latter. It was very good. They throw on a deliciously flavorful sauce. I could probably eat anything bathed in sauce. GF ordered the shakshuka and ate the entire thing. She also ordered yuka fries but literally did not give me the chance to try any one of them. I also ordered fries, they were the small kind which I adore. They were a touch soggy for my liking but I plan on throwing the leftovers in an air fryer tomorrow. We ordered chocolate rugelach and babka which I have not yet had a chance to sample. Great place. I look forward to ordering from here again. read more

We stopped in to grab something to eat before going to see a movie at the Jacob Burns center. Unfortunately, the food made my son so sick that we had to leave halfway through the movie. He spent the night in agony from food poisoning and was sick all the next day as well. Needless to say we will never go back. read more

The lovely owner Rosie will help you navigate this interesting menu that combines Mexican tacos, burritos, burgers and bowls with Mediterranean schwarma, pita and salad. They also offer fresh juice and soups. The brisket tacos were amazing! The mole has the traditional richness, but a slightly different flavor profile since they recently got Kosher certified and don't want to mix dairy with meat. They sell alcohol and have a small area with stools to dine in. There is a fireplace to warm up the restaurant. Stop in for great takeout or dine in! read more

Best burger ever!!!! So delicious! I couldn't believe how good and perfectly cooked it was. Comes with fresh kale and avocado and tahini. This is a must try! I hope they open other locations. read more

My parents have raved about this place for months... "oh, you've gotta go to Pleasantville... that cute lil' Israeli-Mexican spot owned by the cutest Israeli-Mexican couple..." So on a snow day off, we headed over to this place right by the Metro North to try it out and support a small business, especially during this time. What?!?! This spot is so crazily inventive! Such exciting mixes of cilantro and crispy potato and creamy falafel, and fluffy matzoh balls with soft tortilla chips. The Mexican Latkes are the best latkes I've ever had. The falafel burger is amazing and I'm not even such a fan of falafel. The matzoh ball soup was also outstanding. 5 stars!!!! read more

I am from northern California where the food is pretty amazing. When we return from trips my wife and I always comment, good to be back home where the food is so good. We were on the East Coast visiting my folks. Wow! Wish we had a fusion restaurant like Falafel Taco in California. Where to start? Ma Bett's shredded brisket was killer. The humus outstanding as were the Latkes. Better than my mom's. And I had to take some of the Chocolate Babka for later. YUM! Sometimes you go to a restaurant and can't seem to find anything on the menu that looks appetizing. The reverse is the case at F/T. I wanted to try just about everything and had a hard time deciding. Like I said, wish we had one in our town where I could try it all over time. Keep up the great work! read more

I ordered again and this time I ordered the bean burger and the taco wrap. Both were delicious and good size.

Delicious food for cheap in westchester?! Grab a coffee from The Black Cow and come eat one of their bowls. A small, cozy place, and the food is also served really quickly Only thing is the braised lamb bowl is a bit salty once you finish the tortillas it comes with. read more

Falafel Taco - Braised lamb bowl, i dripped some salsa on the tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Pleasantville, New York

Delicious and inventive. Service is wonderful. Worked with the chef for catering and they did a fantastic job.

Randomly found this driving through New York and it was awesome. The original falafel taco on a tortilla was amazing - crispy fresh falafel with a fresh salad and tahini sauce. The chunky guacamole has a bit of schug for just the right amount of spice. Staff was friendly and accommodated off the menu orders for the kids. Cute outdoor seating is perfect on a nice day. Great menu for vegetarians. read more

The food at Falafel Taco was amazing and the service was top notch. The place was very clean . I will be going back soon .

Highly recommended for its outstanding food, service, and ambiance. The owners are very welcoming.

Love the combination of middle eastern and Mexican. Great complements in spices and ingredients Falafel taco is really tasty read more

There is something warm and comforting about this place and its menu. The fusion of mexican and Israeli food is a marriage of two unlikely cuisines resulting in comforting sustenance. read more

This is not a review of the food at this establishment. I live in Scarsdale. I am a member of the Jacob Burns film center in Pleasantville. Yesterday, I had tickets for a movie at 7:35. At 6:15 I called falafel taco directly (meaning they would not have to share any of the money with a third-party service) and put in an order for two items from the menu. I told the young lady on the phone that I would be there at 7:15 to pick it up and pay for it. I walked into the restaurant at 7:13 looking forward to enjoying my food after paying for it and picking it up. There were three employees in the place and no customers. Two employees were behind the counters and one was just sort of leaning on the counter in the customer area. I said that I was there to pick up the food that I had ordered. The young lady behind the counter sprang into action to begin the work of preparing my order. I told her to forget it and I went next door for a slice of pizza. I will never order from or set foot in this place again. Hello kids, you have one job! :-). read more

I definitely recommend- I have been several times to the location in pleasantville and one time to the location in greenwich- I have tried the falafel taco, guacamole, latke, matzoh ball soup, a variety of drinks, and mas.. great environment and service.. 5 stars!! read more

Came in here for the first time on our way down to the city for a quick bite. LOVED IT! The food selection was so unique and unlike anything I've seen offered elsewhere blending together two of my favorite cuisines... Mexican & Israeli. We started with soups, split pea was thinner than I expected but compensated in flavor. Mexican spin on matzo ball was good- the matzo balls themselves could've used a bit more flavor (coming from an expert matzo ball maker). Would've saved my room for the next course which was phenomenal! We got a falafel bowl & the special which was salmon over mushroom risotto bowl with sweet potato. All was fantastic. Cappuccinos were some of the best I've had, served in an actual mug. Don't come here with a large group unless you're getting takeout... in which case, bring everyone!!! read more

Falafel Taco is our new favorite place to go for Kosher meat that is well prepared and flavorful, with terrific combinations, friendly staff, and great prices. I have now been to both locations (the other is in Greenwich), and they are both fantastic. The Shawarma Taco is my favorite, as the chicken is perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and flavorful. I really liked the combination with the avocado, tahini, and Israeli salad. Other people in our group really liked the steak bowl and the chicken mole (in a laffa). On my previous visit, I enjoyed the brisket bowl, and thought the carrot barley (grain choice/side) was especially good. They have such interesting and delicious flavor combinations! The people working there are so friendly and accommodating. I can't believe how good the prices are for kosher meat. There are also plenty of vegetarian choices that also look great. I highly recommend both locations and hope they are around for a long time! read more

I came here again and they do a great job of ensuring social distance. The food here is nothing short of great. It's nestled in the heart of Pleasantville next to the train station. They have outdoor seating and the people are great. Order the Ma Betts Taco. It is delicious! read more

This is an unusual pairing of cuisines but it works! Great street corn and yuca! This is a must try! Small and unique joint by the train station. Pleasant and helpful staff. read more

Great find, needed to grab lunch and found this gem in Pleasantville. Very unique menu- we had latkes with an avocado topping, Tel Aviv tacos and turkey shawarma tacos. We got the tortilla option for both (comes with 2 tacos each) so that was good for sharing, had one of each. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. They also had some fun sauces that you can request. I had the green sauce which was mildly spicy. Who knew Mexican and Israeli food would make a great fusion! They also had fresh baklava, rugalech, and babka on the counter, so tempting. Will definitely get those next time! Ordering was easy on Seamless and it was ready at the time for pickup stated on the app. read more

I was so hungry after a work out and there they were. They are an Israeli Mexican joint which is great because I've always wanted to try kosher habaneros. . I ordered the brisket and falafel tacos with the Yucca Fries. All very satisfying. Especially the yucca fries. My health coach will be very happy about the falafel and the fries. Except for the fried part. I was happy about them though They came with a creamy, subtle herb Mayo that is how fries should normally be served. Only sadness is that the wind took them and it started raining and I had already tossed the lid to the container. But they gave me another, saving the day. Appropriate portions. Might add a jicama option for the wrap but I'm coming back. read more

One of my new favorite spots, I frequently get lunch from here! I do recommend ordering ahead as it can get busy sometimes. The staff is extremely nice and it is delicious quality food! (My favorite is the chicken schnitzel taco on laffa bread. :) read more

Excellent food, service and ambience. Love the matzoh ball soup. Wonderful part of Pleasantville New York.

Covid Service update - they continue to churn out fantastic delicious delicacies while working under safety constraints during this challenging time. A business definitely worth supporting read more

Never have a bad meal here. Love everything they make. Super packed with layers of flavor and quick service! Love it for takeout, not really a dine in spot unless a quick stop for lunch outside. read more

We got takeout from falafel taco last night. When I got there after the 20 minutes they told me on the phone they were scrambling to get my order together and it seemed very stressful. The food we ordered was good and still hot by the time we ate it. We had two citrus chicken bowls with brown rice, two falafel veggie burger, falafel bowl and the Mexican corn chowder as well as the matzo ball tortilla soup. All the ingredients worked well together and tasted fresh. Something I didn't like about this place is I payed with a credit card through the square software at the restaurant and now I keep getting promotional emails from there which is rather bothersome considering I didn't agree (or wasn't aware) that I agreed to receive them. read more

Amazing fusion of authentic Mexican & Israeli. Their Tortilla Matzoh Ball Soup and Latkes are delicious and fresh! Will def be back!!

Didn't get proper order. Ordered falafel bowl, Tel Aviv taco, Mexican latke, and corn chowder soup and got all meat items from DoorDash order for a Daniel B. When I called restaurant, they wanted me to come back because they didn't deliver. Horrible Update- owner reached out to me same evening and apologized for the mix up. I've wanted to eat here for quite some time and will more than likely order again sometime soon. Food looks great and has great reviews. I'm pregnant so when I want food, I want the food lol. Thanks for reaching out to me. read more
