Overall: top place for Authentic Mexican food! Prices are perfect, portions were huge, service was so kind. Food: the sampler was huge and had so much to try! The Birria Tacos were filled! Maybe a little more salt but the sopa was perfect. Churros crunchy and sweet comes with 4 and an ice cream scoop. The chocoflan is a special and they only have it sometimes. If they have it try it! Service: the restaurant owner was so kind and showed us pictures of all the foods. Inside: nice pop Mexican music, originals, and remixes. They also have outside seating. read more

Delicious food and reasonable prices. I ordered for delivery the steak and onions platter which had a steak with onions, rice and beans, avocado and cheese. Absolutely phenomenal but a little salty. I always ask about the fresh juices they usually have different flavors everyday. The coconut juice is to die for!!!! They give such a big portion to. The pork and pineapple taco was so delicious and the lime added such a great pop of flavor. Hard to communicate with the person on the phone a bit of a language barrier when giving my address but I love this place very much!!! Definitely eat here and try the fresh juices read more

Ordered tonight for the first time A lot to choose from on the menu It's obvious that this is authentic Mexican food We were all quite surprised at the very generous portions We had a rather large sampling of different foods from different quesadillas, guacamole and chips a burrito entree and something called Alambre The food was really good and this Alambre was spectacular Will definitely be ordering again read more

Love this whole in a wall !!! The food is authentic, the service is amazing and the drinks are good. The Mexican quesadilla is made with fresh tortillas and they don't skimp on the filling. I am a huge fan of nachos and this place does them right ! They top the tortilla chips with beans, fresh guacamole, pico de gallo and tons of cheese. If you like heat, you will be happy to know that they have red salsa/sauce that is a five alarm fire in your mouth!! Don't judge a book by it's cover, just give this place a try. read more

The food was great, delicious. The chicken tacos were very well seasoned and the green sauce over it was just the perfect touch. We had the appetizer platter and chicken quesadilla and it was yummy. To drink we had horchatas, which were refreshing and the presentation was nice. Can't say enough about how nice the waitress was, very attentive and the decor and the music in the background as nice. read more

Delicious food, friendly service, and all in Staten Island! This is one of maybe three, authentic Mexican restaurants in the borough. They have a wide menu and the staff will help you choose your meal. It's the kind of place where you can sit, have a meal and "forget about life for a while," like Billy Joel says. A plus is that they make their own refreshing drinks, such as mango or coconut. Suggestion: use navigation because it's kind of in a hidden corner off the main road, and if you blink you'll miss it. Great place! read more

This place has some of the best food I've ever eaten. Their chimichanga is a MUST. However they take a very long time to make their food. I suggest either ordering delivery from this place or getting very comfortable in the restaurant. read more

We ordered a steak burrito, a seasoned pork taco, a Cuban and papa nachos and let me tell you, we were NOT disappointed! The food was plentiful and delicious! Will definitely be ordering from here again! Wow! read more

So tasty and fresh!! I just had a delivery of steak taco , chicken tostado (I think it's called) and a steak torta. Yum is all I have to say read more

Monstrous portions for the price and great quality food. Authentic Mexican cuisine with a Tex-Mex touch on some of their plates, while most of their plates are authentic. Come here first for their Taco Azteca, it is out of this world. For only $4, you get a heaping taco, piled high with grilled steak, grilled cactus and onion. It's incredibly good, and so big that two of them will fill you up for most of the day. Their burritos are also very large, though they can get a bit dry. There is no cheese in the burrito, only rice, beans and meat and a whole lot of meat. It must be eaten with the beans and rice they serve it with because it's dry. For this reason I recommend their Chimichanga, which is topped with cheese. Great food, great prices. read more

First time ordering tacos on SI, and they were so good! Wish I found them sooner! Ordered steak, chicken, pork tacos, and guac and chips. Fave was the steak, then pork. Chicken was a bit dry but putting some guac on was better. Personally, I love corn tortilla so that was perfect. I ordered on grub hub and delivery was pretty fast. read more

My new favorite local spot. The food is very reasonably priced and they have a lot of interesting options that I've never seen before. I recently tried a Huitlacoche quesadilla and it was very cool. And don't sleep on the tortas! The Cuban (pictured below) & the Hawaiian are awesome. Definitely give this authentic spot a try ! read more

MERCADO ARIANA - Cuban Torta - Mexican Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Delivery took almost 2 hours to arrive. They were just less than 2 miles away. I didn't enjoy the my food at all! Ended up throwing it away! The tortilla wrap around the chimichanga was soggy & the entire food was cold. The chips & guacamole order was cold & the nachos were soggy. I had to call several times. They just kept saying he'll be there in 15 than 10 than 5 & finally I got my cold soggy food after waiting more than 2 hours. The excuse was that their regular driver didn't come to work & had to call for back up. They should've just told me that they didn't have delivery. I wasted almost $50 & they didn't even say they'd makeup for it. read more

Just moved here from south Florida, so I've been craving some some delicious Latin cuisine. Ordered the chimichanga. My bf ordered one of the tortas. Great portions, we have plenty for tomorrow! Next time we will order the nacho chips on the side since they were lost under the topping.... which had a clean, fresh taste! Can't wait to try the tacos next read more

Yesterday I Learned that I have contracted Covid. When I spoke with my doctor she advised me to tell anyone that I came in contact with in the past two or three days to tell them that I had contracted the virus. I called all the businesses that I visited during that time, to include this restaurant where I sat and ate. Today I attempted to reach the owner of the restaurant and left a message with the woman who answered the phone to Have him call me as soon as possible. I explained that the matter was very important, in fact urgent, and that I needed him to call me back as soon as he could. She asked for the reason for the call, and because things get lost in translation, I asked that he specifically call me back. She told me that the owner would not call unless I gave a specific reason. I told her the call was in regards to the health and welfare of the employees there. I received no return phone call as far as I know. A few hours later I called again and spoke to a gentleman who said that he was in charge of the restaurant at that moment, but not the owner. I started to explain that I contracted Covid and then I was calling to let them know because everyone needs to be tested. This man started screaming about how the whole staff had been tested and cleared and were permitted to work. I lost it. I told him that I was calling for their protection and for their well-being and that everyone needed to be tested again because they don't know what strain they were exposed to. I said this is precisely why I had asked to speak to the owner left my number, and asked again to have him call me. No other business I called responded in this manner. No one blocked me from talking to a manager or to an owner. No one said I had to give a reason for my call in the message. And they all returned my calls. Except this one. I don't advise anyone to go into this restaurant until it's been fully sanitized. All of the employees working on Sunday March 25 have been exposed to the virus, and need to be tested. read more

We ordered take out from here during the Covid shutdown...it was super authentic and the shop was cute too! We had a variety of tacos, a chicken burrito & the pork & pineapple quesadilla...all we're delicious & different. We just wish they came with nachos and salsa. Also we should've ordered their homemade guacamole...next time! Their salted beef taco wasn't as good as the spicy pork, but you just have to know what to order! Xoxo read more

The owner, Martin, is a very nice person, and makes every effort to be kind and welcoming to customers. But if he's not around, the other staff members are either defensive or unhelpful. Portions are generous, especially of nachos. However, most of the other food I've eaten there tastes bland. read more

The food had absolutely no flavor. the chicken tasted reheated . Definitely not Worth the money spent. My son wouldnt even touch the chicken quesadilla . read more

So refreshing to have something other than a dirty deli or pizzeria in the area. read more

Tonight we went to Mercado Ariana Restuarant in Great Kills, Staten Island. It was not our first choice, we tried to go somewhere else but couldn't get into this other place as we did not have a reservation. We met a friend on the way out, and she recommended that we try Mercaedo Ariana. We are so glad we went. Everything is made fresh, the guacamole the chips and all the food. Everything was so delicious! It will be the ONLY place we go to now for Authentic Mexican food. The prices are more than reasonable, and the portions were huge. The owners were very pleasant and accommodating, answering any questions that we had. If you want really good Mexican food, do yourself a favor and go to Mercado Ariana Restuarant, you won't regret it! read more

We ordered 6 different dishes for take out and only one is considered okay, everyone else's seemed bland, dry (meat) and tasteless...

The delivery is always quick and the food is great. I'm so happy I found this place. They are also very accommodating with our orders.

Delicious food! I order from here often and I am never disappointed. Last night we had the steak chimichanga, chorizo nachos, salted beef sopes, and chicken cutlet torta. I've had the tacos and guacamole in the past as well, which are great. I like that they offer Tex-mex dishes and authentic Mexican dishes because sometimes I crave one more than the other. Def recommend! They also have a nice storefront with grocery shopping for making at home dishes. read more
