    What a fun place! The atmosphere is great and the service is quick, attentive, and friendly. They bring out a bunch of stuff when you first sit down, chips and salsa, delicious and homemade, nachos, and mini cheesy tortillas. The steak fajitas were delicious and the nachos were great. At the end of the meal, there are complimentary vanilla tequila shots and fried banana dessert. A fun dinner experience!

    This was a pleasant discovery. Mariana is about a five-minute drive from where I work, making it a perfect location for a quick lunch pick-up. It's admittedly not much to look at from the outside - aside from some fun kitschy signage right out front, this could be any business in a non-descript strip mall (of which there are MANY in this area) - but it has a fun interior and a cute little bar right by the front that I took a long look at before walking to the back to pick up my lunch. And more importantly than that, the food is pretty solid. I've ordered from here twice now over the course of about two weeks, and gotten burritos each time - beef and chicken, respectively. Mexican is probably not one of my all-time favorite genres of food, just because it tends to have a lot of crunchy shizzle within its entrees (peppers, onions, etc.) and I have a texture-based palate. So as a general rule when I'm getting food from a Mexican establishment, I want it to be a little more generic/blue collar. This is definitely that. A good chunk of the entrees come with black beans and rice, which I can always get down with. Both types of burritos are tasty; I might lean a bit more toward the beef one going forward, but you really can't go wrong with either. The meat is seasoned well (from the looks of it, there's some soft shreds of green pepper in there) and the burrito isn't too thick. I've had a few below-average burritos in the past couple of months where most of them were "overwrapped," if that makes sense, and you're biting into way too many layers of tortilla before you get to the interior. These had very good consistency though. The price point is competitive as well. I've been surprised at how pricey some of the restaurants are up in this northern section of Rockland - they seem to be under the mistaken impression that they're located in Nyack or something - but given that you're being provided not only with a legit entrée, but a bag of chips and salsa as a courtesy, paying roughly $15 that includes tip/tax is pretty reasonable by my estimation. Beyond that, you obviously don't have a lot of sample size for service when you're not actually sitting down/having a waiter, but everyone I've interacted with has been professional and perfectly pleasant. Definitely keeping this place in my lunchtime lineup. Hopefully I can convince one of my chums to make the trek up here after work for a cocktail or two as well.

    very decorative with a full bar when you walk in. i came around dinner time so it started to fill up afterwards. Service was on point granted that my table was the first ones there for dinner. I got the chimicongas which was expected and nothing to note there. their hot sauce was unique though and not just in a bottle and was very flavorful. FYI they only have 1 stall for mens bathroom so pace yourself. desert was underwhelming i took a picture cause i was disappointed.

    This restaurant is just WOW!! The service was impeccable!! The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious. True authentic Mexican food. The ambience was very nice & I would definitely come back to this restaurant. My friends & I stopped him on a whim after going to the lake and are so happy we did. The staff was very friendly & always made sure we were okay.

    It takes a wile for the food to be served. But it's worth the wait for fresh high quality food. This place is outstanding in every respect.

    After our main entree was finished, Jose served us fresh banana filled pastry with fried ice cream, the perfect ending to a satisfyang meal.

    Love, love, love this place. This riverside Mexican restaurant is a non-nonsense, "ma & pa" style…read moreplace with tasty Mexican food and yummy (strong) drinks. Tony and I stopped by the other day on the way back from a day of shopping at Woodbury Commons. If you head over to Playa, I recommend sitting outside (if it's good weather) OR in the bar. Karen, the bartender on the night we visited, is amazing! As for food, everyone automatically gets chips and salsa upon arrival (the way it should be). And stand outs for us included the single-layer nachos (we added chicken as our protein), the combo plates, and the fajitas. The sauce on the fajitas was some of the best we'd ever had. I think it must have been árbol chiles and guajillo chiles (?) that gave the dish such a rich, orange color. But our minds were just blown by how good the fajita sauce was. Oh, and we ordered the mixed fajitas (shrimp, beef, and chicken). The combo plate I ordered including a Beef Chile Relleno (yum), a small Been Burrito (yum), and a Chicken Enchilada (yum). OF COURSE it was served with rice and beans (more yum). It just blows my mind why such a combo is hard to find in all of NYC. But, luckily, just a few short miles away, we have Playa Cancun... and we will be returning to this place soon!

    We got there at 7pm yesterday for Cinco de mayo celebrations and we were told the wait time for a…read moreparty of two is 30 minutes. After me and girl waited for one hour for a table a kind gentleman donated his table after he felt bad for us sitting on the floor and that's when the nightmare really started happening. For starters we had to hunt down our own waiter (mind you being right smack in the middle of the restaurant) which eventually getting ignored and ghosted us after she took our order and never came back with our entrees we didn't even eat dinner after realizing that it was almost 10 o'clock at night. We will never go back.
