Family&#x27;s Cafe

I came here for dinner, and this was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to! 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!

Yesterday's brunch: Chilaquiles verdes with Cecina (salty beef), a side of black beans with queso…read morefresco, and a Limeade with mint from @taqueriatlaxcallibx Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the salsa verde had just the right kick to it. The portion size was excellent, though I would have preferred a little less onions in the dish, as they overpowered the overall taste of the chilaquiles just a little bit. The black beans were also well seasoned and the queso fresco topping was the perfect finishing touch for the side dish. The Limeade was refreshing and flavorful, and a great pairing for the whole meal. I ordered delivery from Uber Eats, and the total with tax and tip after discounts (I'm an Uber One member) was $45.12, but if you're in the Parkchester area definitely check out Taqueria Tlaxcalli for delicious, authentic Mexican food #notsponsored

I was getting ready to drive to the restaurant and two minutes later the delivery guy rang my bell. Last week on a Saturday night we called 3x times after getting hung up on twice to place an order for fajitas. After waiting an hour, the delivery guy called to say he was outside however poor guy was given the wrong address. We ended up cancelling our order due to the lack of professionalism and poor service. At that point I didn't even want the fajitas.

Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. Between the incredible food and outstanding service, we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic, flavorful Mexican food!

We walked in and was greeted vaguely and then was ushered to a seat near the door (even though there was open seating in the center of the restaurant).

Wasn't until my Cuban friend started speaking Spanish that we were able to get service and was able to order.

I had a strange craving for a Taco, and I went to Yelp to seek advice. RJC popped up, and I ordered the Steak Taco due to a glowing review. Now it's my turn to give a great review as well, because that Taco was amazing. Maybe it was because I was hungry, but it just hit all the right spots, including the price. read more

But because I'd gotten an urge for shrimp tacos and this was convenient as I caught up with errands underneath the L on a Friday. Guess what? A lot has changed since Molcajete was first heralded 7 years ago by the NYT as that BX diamond in the rough Mexican restaurant. Good luck finding parking because it's mayhem in this area weaving in and out of traffic. Just phone your order for pick up. Molcajete has bright color walls, lots of seating and Mexican music in the background to add even more of a vibrant feel. Carolina ran up my order and when I noticed the $16 price tag for 3 shrimp tacos, my eyes bulged. All I thought was, "these better be delicious and packed real good with shrimp". No and no. And with chopped up shrimp pieces no less. My 3 tacos were ridiculously overstuffed with lettuce+tomatoes+onions. But, it seemed like these folks used 1 large shrimp and chopped it in 4 pieces. I can't even. Mom's steak quesadilla also had small pieces of protein instead of bigger strips I'm used to seeing at other Mexican restnts. Horchata was off and my Nopal salad had vinegar for crying out loud. Whatever happened to traditional freshly squeezed lime juice??? I can't. Listen, I support any Bronx business through and through- even giving them a 2nd chance to redeem themselves. But I will call a spade a spade- and to me this isn't it.
