Moving up to Peekskill, it was tough finding truly authentic Mexican food until I found Mercado Azteca & Deli. This place is hands down my go-to spot when I'm craving the real deal. The chicken tacos are my absolute favorite. They're well seasoned, juicy, and never dry. Pair them with the chips and house made guacamole (definitely not store bought), and you've got a perfect meal. I also recommend the chicken burrito, which is huge, flavorful, and satisfying every single time. The prices are very affordable, and the portions are generous. You really get your money's worth here. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a casual meal, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which just adds to the charm. This place is a hidden gem, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone in the area or just passing through. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Peekskill, this is the spot. read more

This place has been a go-to spot for years and it never misses! It's a small Mexican grocery store & restaurant with delicious food and an expansive menu! Our favorite thing on the menu are the steak sopes, which come with three sopes loaded with steak, beans, two types of cheese, guacamole, and cream. Add the green sauce and you've got yourself a winner! The staff is always friendly and they go out of their way to make sure you love what you have. read more

Great freshly made food to order! We went post hike at Bear Mountain. We all ordered burritos, all excellent. All piping hot and delicious. There are a few tables located inside the store. I'd highly recommend. No public restroom or beer sold inside. read more

Mercado Azteca & Deli - a burrito cut in half - Mexican Near Me - Peekskill, New York

I never knew this place existed in Peekskill until the youngest child of my best friends told me about it. I had asked this young man to lunch after he fixed. My guitar.fajitas Was the recommended food for lunch. My friends son said let's go to Aztec. I had never heard of the place. But it was a block away from the guitar shop.. so we went over to have lunch . Azteca is a small little deli inside a 1970s cement strip mall just off of Main Street in Peekskill . He can't see it from the street. But if you park your car next to or from Dunkin' Donuts and walk inside the mall you'll see as Tecca in the corner. Park your car for a quarter an hours time and walk into the back. You will be pleasantly surprised. I am a big chicken fajita fan, but this deli does not serve Americanized Mexican food. It serves the food of South America. So when you order chicken fajitas, you may get something you're not quite expecting. The place is a deli and does have several tables inside where you can eat. I would recommend it if you do find it and go. The differences in the food that I had ordered and what I had expected was pleasantly surprising. I've been back several dozen times . I try to order something different all the time. The fish tacos are awesome. If you have your food there or you have it for takeout. The deli smells delicious and the service is courteous and fast. I think you'll enjoy this little hidden diamond in the rough. Please give it a try. read more

Tacos al pastor were spot on!!! We got this on DoorDash based on local recommendations. I was skeptical, but am so glad we tried it. It's the most authentic Mexican food I have had since Mexico City. I love the taquerias that are off the beaten path or the ones that are most popular with the locals. This place did not disappoint. We all loved our entrees and even the chips and guacamole were spot on. If you can get delivery from them, don't miss out. I'm not sure what it is like to eat there, but it wouldn't matter as the food is so good. read more

In a strip mall all the way to the end, not a lot of parking in the lot across the street. Had to park adjacent to the curb which I despise. I got the steak burrito and it was serviceable. The steak was the best tasting item in the burrito. I thought the rice and beans were pretty tasteless, nothing sour cream can't fix. The red hot sauce that came with it was bland. My colleague was not impressed with his steak enchiladas. Some people love this place others think it's decent, nobody thinks it's bad. This was my first time here I will need to do a followup, but so far I am not impressed. I did think they provided a lot of value for the price, however. read more

The food here is authentic and tasty. The service is also great. This is a deli but they have a small seating area inside and outside if you'd prefer to stay and eat. We usually order to go. They mostly speak Spanish when ordering but they will have you hold for an employee who knows the language. The prices have gone up quite a bit, but we still like to go here once in a while. read more

These tacos are so delicious, got the Birria tacos and I was in heaven. Highly recommend. I need to go back soon.

Mercado Azteca & Deli is the best authentic Mexican food I have found in the Westchester area. It's an unassuming bodega and deli within a busy strip mall, but the food they're producing inside is easily the best authentic Mexican food in the area. My favorite item from Mercado Azteca is their torta, a Mexican sandwich named after the "drowned sandwich" in the early 1900s when a street vendor in Guadalajara accidentally dropped a sandwich in a container of salsa. Alas, the torta. The Mercado campechana torta is prepared with tender pieces of steak and spicy chorizo, adorned with the usual refried beans, lettuce, onions, avocado, jalapeno, and mayo, sandwiched between the pillowy soft bread. There are elements of rich meat flavor, spicy jalapeno and chorizo, crunch of the lettuce, acidity from the onions, and the unctuous deepening of the avocado and mayo. They're massive, they're messy, and they're powerfully flavorful. Mercado also serves sopes, tamales, burritos, nachos, tacos, quesadillas, and cemita. I highly recommend the guac/chips. Perfectly ripe avocados and perfectly balanced in acidity/salt with well fried fresh tortilla chips. read more

Mercado Azteca & Deli - Chimichanga, Mini Burritos, tacos - Mexican Near Me - Peekskill, New York

We have now ordered delivery from here several times, including food for a small party Fast turnaround time Very reasonable prices Super fresh ingredients Wide selection of classic Mexican dishes Huge menu Queso Fundido was spot on, served with four tortillas and loaded with fresh peppers, chorizo, onions and cheese. I kick it up with mushrooms Burritos, tacos all terrific. Camarones a la Diabla were delish. The Cemitas - classic Mexican sandwiches served on monster sized fresh rolls are a meal and a half for $7 and whether steak, pork or chorizo were all killer. A free liter of soda or iced tea arrives each time. Absolutely great. read more

The food is good and the delivery is fast. You will enjoy the delicious Mexican cuisine.

My go-to whenever I have the hankering for authentic Mexican. It may look like a standard no frills bodega/deli but it is simply the best Mexican I've had in Westchester. I'm practically evangelical about the food here. Everyone I've told to go here has been thankful for the advice. Can't go wrong with any of their tacos. I always order three tacos and their rice & beans. Highly recommend the Arabe taco. It's a special rolled taco w spicy pork. And their Huevos con Carnitas is the best meal ever for $7. Mouth watering as I write this. Just go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food quality is excellent and very fairly priced with large portions. They charge no delivery fee (as long as you're close enough) so I'm able to tip the driver more! The driver called me when the food was delivered and he waited until I came out to get it. They also surprised me with a free 2 liter! Our house has multiple doors so it can be confusing which one to drop the food at. He accidently dropped it at the wrong door (no biggie at all). He noticed this and verified which door was the correct one for the next time we order! Amazing service and we'll definitely be ordering again! read more

The food was a complete let down. Ordered for takeout chicken fajitas and they put broccoli with it? This isn't a Chinese order? The chicken fajitas looked and tasted disgusting. Over cooked chicken. Also ordered steak with onions, over cooked meat that was so thin and chewy, with No flavor either. We ordered one chicken and one steak taco both were over cooked with no flavor either. Such a disappointment. My husband picked up the food and it was done on time. So at least the food was ready when they said it would be. Also he said the place was old and run down, the atmosphere was wore out. I won't be ordered from them ever again. Wasted $60 in takeout! read more

By far the best authentic Mexican food in the Hudson Valley and the nicest people as well. Highly recommend the squash blossom quesadillas and guacamole. It doesn't disappoint! read more

Wowowowowowww. This place is a bit hidden, we almost couldn't find it lol. But just keep walking in. Pass DK, pass Jamaican food, pass Chinese food, thennnn you'll see it at the very end! Kind of pricey. Not THE best but very good. I'd come again. Al Pastor Burrito: soooo good! A bit greasy on the bottom but that's alrightttt, we don't mind it. Meat was marinated perfectly. Size isn't too big or too small. They put pineapple in it which is a first for us. I usually see pineapple & pork on tacos, not burritos. Still very good!! Al Pastor taco: flavorful & messy, loved it! Felt like they should've grilled the tortillas a bit longer tho. Tripa taco: tripa was delicious! Must've been cleaned very well. I liked it a lot. Horchata: not too sweet, I definitely enjoyed it! Guac, salsas, pico de gallo we're all good! read more

No alcohol true Taco dive bar. Food made in an open deli style kitchen Made fresh!! Definitely a cheap eats joint. Quality Mexican food you will not get elsewhere. They have hot lunch specials and the food is made authentic, not madecto appease the Taco Bell types. Favorites are Sopes,Tacos,Tortas and the daily specials. They also make fresh chicharron that is not salty!!!! They carry Mexican groceries and a large variety of Mexican sodas and candy. read more

If you are looking for a authentic Mexican place this is your spot. I almost gave this place 5 stars, almost. Food is good and tastes great. Order the torta de chorizo, made at home. I would give it a 8/10. And also quesadillas de flor de calabaza also a 8/10. Horchata is tasty. Overall a 4/5. I am not from Peekskill, but if your craving Mexican food, this is a good spot. read more

Mercado Azteca & Deli - Quesadilla de flor de calabaza - Mexican Near Me - Peekskill, New York

We have been eating at Mercado for a number of years. We usually get the rice and black beans and various tacos, as well as their delicious mexican breakfast (omelette with jalapeños, rice and beans, tortillas and mexican cheese - yum!) Mercado was always extremely clean even before covid. However, I'm writing this review now because they have upped their game even more!! Mercado has always offered vegetable tacos but they have taken it up a notch!! It is stuffed with mincely chopped grilled vegetables (onions, broccoli, carrots and red peppers). The taco is very hearty and extremely tasty!! Overall, clean environment, and delicious food. It doesn't get better than that!! read more

Mercado Azteca & Deli is truly a hidden gem in Peekskill. Burried deep within the Crossroads Shopping Plaza - a dated 70's era strip mall that we'd love to see rebuilt - Mercado Azteca doesn't exactly draw you in with its looks. A hole-in-the-wall is an apt description. But head in, line up at the deli counter and place your order. Once you sample the food, you won't care about how it looks or where its located. This is some of the best Mexican food you can get in Peekskill. To be honest, Mercado Azteca won us over with their tacos, and their tacos are what keep us coming back. More specifically, the tacos arabe have become our go to order. The tacos arabe are more like mini-burritos than a traditional taco, flavorful pork seasoned with arab spices and lemon, then wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Three come in an order, and you'll wish there were more. These things are addictive. You can't go wrong with any of the tacos, but the menu is expansive and it's worth branching out. We also love the avocado salad, the al pastor burrito, the 1/2 chicken meal, and we've heard great things about the tortas (although haven't tried them ourselves, blame the tacos arabe). Breakfast at Mercado is also a super affordable surprise. Mercado is also one of Peekskill's select non-pizza or Chinese restaurants that does delivery. You can find them on the delivery platforms like Seamless or you can order directly from their website. They're definitely our top choice for delivery nights. Bottom line: Mercado Azteca offers some of the best Mexican food in Peekskill. It's cheap, fast, delicious, and they deliver. Put Mercado Azteca at the top of your Peekskill shortlist. read more

They did it again, great dinner that even our spoiled kids visiting from Brooklyn loved and said that they wished they had place like that nearby. Caveat the Barbacoa Taco (goat meat) was bland, everything else was great. Our favorites are the chicken enchiladas and the quesadilla al pastor. Order directly from them and pick up more money goes to support their business in these tough times. read more

Them tacos(~$3), burritos ($8.95) and nachos, mmmhhmmm. When they serve up lengua and tripa you know it's legit. I can't find this stuff everywhere unfortunately. Mercado Azteca isn't listed on the plaza sign but it's right next to the Chinese take-out in the back. It's really half convenient store and half deli/takeout but the menus are right on the counter. If you sit inside someone will come around and take your order but if you sit outside you have to order at the counter, at least in my experience. The lengua was perfectly cooked, not too chewy, while the tripa was incredibly crispy, fatty, and delicious. Don't forget to squeeze some lime on the tacos along with the hot sauce and green sauce. The supreme nachos ($11.95) was a mix of chicken, steak, chorizo, sour cream, guac, and a good amount of black beans. Tasty, but the beans really made everything soggy. The amount of cheese on top was good. Wouldn't mind more chips though. Grab a Mexican coke or horchata to go with your meal! My fellow diner ordered a chicken burrito and it was neat that they stuff the burrito with chicken, rice and beans, while leaving the lettuce and pico on the side like a salad and providing guac, sour cream, and salsa on the side as well. After you get your food, you pay at the cash register and they take care of the plates. read more

Hidden gem in Peekskill. Sounds ridiculous to say, but California Mexican Style Flavor. Super fresh. Avoid the beef. Chicken quesadilla, guacamole, sauces and the chimichanga were excellent. read more

The food is outstanding. I I'm not sure what I want I can always find something off the menu.

The shrimp burritos are excellent. Very casual but wonderful experience Don't let the storefront deter you from experiencing great food

Wonderful authentic Mexican kitchen, their food is priced right and tasted great. Best street-style tacos in town, and the staff is always friendly and genuine.

This is a true hidden gem, delicious tamales, tacos, and everything else we got. You wouldn't know it when you look from the outside or the inside, though, so don't be fooled. One thing -and I'm starting to write this in all my reviews-make sure that you check your order before you leave. read more

The food was great, HOWEVER we felt very uncomfortable because of the following: 1- the cooks were not wearing gloves while handling our food. They just grabbed the raw meat with their bare hands to throw it onto the grill. 2- none of the people handling the food were wearing hats/hair nets 3- some of the workers did not have their masks on properly, so their noses and mouths were exposed. My husband didn't say anything because he didn't want to cause a scene, but we regret that we didn't just walk out. The workers knew that we were looking as well, but that didn't change their behavior either. It's quite shocking and upsetting that standard protocols were not followed, especially when we are still dealing with COVID. Their food was delicious and had 'home cooked' vibe but I would not come here again. read more

I've ordered delivery from here several times and it is always good. My favorite menu item would have to be the sopes. The tacos and tortas are also pretty good. The chilaquiles is a big, hearty meal. Basically I've liked everything I've tried from here. Delivery is always prompt. read more

Great food, great prices, very fast deliveries . I also highly recommend the carnitas plate. read more

Sorry folks, unfortunately the Mexican food selection is limited in the peekskill area. This is not good food. It's easy to say it's good if you have never had real Mexican cuisine. This is deli quality at its best. Everything I ordered tasted greasy and everything tasted the same. My family and I are here like what a waste, while we are eating it, no one is enjoying it. The portions on the half chicken should be 4 pieces, got 3. I got a scoop of rice and 2 spoonfuls of beans for $11!?? Have ya not seen what a Chinese take out combination looks like for less than 10$.. chicken was old and dry! I rather travel into the city to get better quality food and portion sizes to match the pricing.. now some positive, the guacamole is on point, pico is fresh. Aside from that. That's it... by the way i ordered over 10 items off the menu... read more
