This is, hands down, my favorite place in the UWS. My go-to order is a staple here, and they cook it perfect every time. They also have a great variety of any Mexican dishes you could want -- their tortas are great, their tacos are great, and so are their drinks. Great selection of Mexican chips you can't get at other bodegas, and a great selection of pan dulce! Plus their staff are always great! Place is wonderful!! Can't recommend it enough!!! read more

Food taste alright it's mid not good nor bad but the wait is crazy 30 minutes for 2 orders and plus I came here in the morning and afternoon and after waiting a long time to get my food both times they got my order wrong read more

No weak links in their menu that I've discovered yet. The team demonstrates outstanding hospitality. All features come together perfectly. This place completely amazed me. This place deserves recognition among city bests. read more

The dishes show attention to detail, the service shows personal care, and prices show fairness. The scene inside was lively and full. Employees perform their duties excellently. The dishes here satisfy consistently. The employees show good manners, the spot stays clean and I plan another meal. read more

La comida siempre es increíble y el personal siempre me hace sentir como en familia. El personal es una persona increíble y merece todo el amor y el apoyo que realmente merecen todo el reconocimiento. Si alguna vez están por la zona, por favor, eche un vistazo, no les decepcionarán. read more

Food is good. Tasty. My issue is, many. The lady half the nights that picks up the phone barely speaks English and gives attitude when you repeat your order because she's gotten wrong so many times. Today was the last straw for me personally. I been a long time customer ordering everyday, but they consistently mess up my order and didn't deliver half of my order after already charging me. I'm too fed up to even call back. I'm just simply never ordering from here again read more

Mexican Deli - This is the 1. Chicken Cutlet with Cheese on Hero Special , with Boars Head Muenster and jalapeños . - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

The best chopped cheese in UWS. Would recommend to anyone. Also great array of snacks and drinks.

the girl at the counter is extremely rude, makes the food moot when you have someone this rude and disrespectful , her main thing is ignoring customer, if you hate your job then find another one read more

Pretty simple and good. Order at the counter under the menu. And then wait and pay at the cashier near the door. Lots of options to pick from. read more

My all time favorite deli. I have been going to Tap A Keg which is a local bar across the street from Mexican Deli and we make sure to order food every time. The cook is always ready to make my usual order a chop cheese and fries.You can't go wrong with anything here I've tasted just about the entire menu and I'd pick this place over a restaurant any time. If i didn't live in Brooklyn they'd definitely see a lot more of me. read more

Mexican Deli - Chopped cheese with a little bacon - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

It is a small deli specializing in Mexican products such as snacks, drinks, breads, tortillas, queso fresco etc... They have lots of regular deli items including ice cream, American chips, some pantry items, fruits, vegetables. They cook both American ( egg plates, pancakes, French toast, heroes, sandwiches, burgers,) and Mexican ( juevos, gordita, tortas, tacos). Had 2 steak tacos and an order of rice and both are really good and the green salsa provided just the right amount of spice. I think they are the only place around that is 24 hours. read more

I know a certain contingent on the UWS wept tears when Jackson Hole closed down. But I really don't think Jackson Hole had anything on Mexican Deli, a 24 hour bodega serving cheap, filling burgers and fries, monstrously large tostadas, decent tacos, and sandwiches that, well.... could be worse, I guess. It's low-brow, junky, drunk college kid fare -- and I would've killed to've had it as an option back in the day when we'd end up shivering in a slow-moving line, 12-deep, for Sobre Ruedas at 2 a.m. almost every weekend. To be clear, you shouldn't eat this food. It will give you a heart attack, make you fat, give you zits, and make your doctor / mother yell at you. But boy does it hit the spot when you need something to swim in the pool of beer you've got sloshing around in your belly. Here's the lineup: - Hamburgers (a normal size unlike Jackson Hole's structurally unstable monstrosities) come on a soggy bottom bun like Jackson Hole, with a patty that tastes more steamed than griddled. If you get the "large size" (a.k.a. the platter), it comes with iceberg lettuce; hard, wintry tomatoes (at least in winter); rings of raw onions (good way to get rid of your creepy Tinder date); and standard fare fries. Together, they are more than the sum of their parts. - Tostadas. Comically overloaded with your meat of choice, refried beans, and maybe lettuce, cotija cheese and some other things that quickly become an indistinguishable mush as you attempt to eat it with your hands before ceding to a spoon. It's a little like eating a savory pudding with occasional crispy bits. I usually prefer more balance, but if the goal is to increase the ratio of solids to liquids in your stomach, this is an excellent choice. And I won't pretend I don't enjoy it. - Lengua tacos. The tortillas are kinda crappy -- the same ones you get at Sobre Ruedas and other quick-stop taco trucks around the city. But that lengua is actually pretty good, soft, slightly snappy, not heavily seasoned so you can taste that really wonderful lengua flavor. They come with sliced radishes and potent green salsa. The lengua to tortilla ratio is very, very high so you'll barely register the crappy tortillas. - The fried chicken can be kind of good depending on who's manning / womanning the fryer. The hero sandwiches can be had for a pittance and they probably wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for the gnarly American cheese that goes on everything and the distinctly rubbery, microwaved texture of the bread. As they are, I'd avoid -- unless there's an urgent need for absorbent solids. Fine dining this is not, but even those of us who have trouble staying awake past 10:00 p.m. these days can appreciate the late-night drunk food genre. It's just that for us, late-night means 10:10 p.m. read more

Delivery man buzzed + must+ does deliver at apt door!! Good tortas + great fresh jalapeño used+ decent coffees + chefs make decent cooked food-incl eggs sandwiches.& burgers.& tortas+ they sell Haagen daaz pints too!! read more

This place is truly amazing!!!! The carnitas tacos are so good for the price. They give you so much meat but the best part is how delicious the carnitas are. Some of the best carnitas meat I've ever had. So tender and juicy. And they are only $3.50 a taco! And they provide radishes and limes and green sauce, which is the best. Best money ever spent. Support this small business because they deserve it. read more

Gem of a bodega on the UWS. My favorite late night snack are the tacos! They have a few flavors my go to is the chicken! Two tacos are only $5; they are fresh and ready within minutes. Of course there are your other standard items too - misc groceries, deli sandwiches, drinks, ice cream etc. Try the tacos! read more

Go here. The tacos are so perfect. It might have the best cheesesteak I've ever had. Egg sandwich's are amazing. The chicken Parm hit the spot. I'll keep returning as long as I live in nyc read more

Great damn tacos! Radishes are always curiously fresh, and the staff are all super nice :)

Your typical NYC bodega that's open 24 hours-very important in this quiet part of the UWS where most food places close around 10:30PM. You can stock up on your normal bodega snacks here. Everyone that worked here was really friendly. I ordered a BLT and it was delicious. read more

the most convenient deli in the neighborhood (if they actually answer the phone or deliver your order) and the food is good. the service is consistently horrible. this time i called waited an hr for my food. i never received a phone call from the delivery person when i called the store the lady said she would call me back never called me back fast forward another half an hour. i get dressed and go get my food then i'm told i can't buy my food. i have to go back home because the man is waiting for me i get home. the man is not here and never was. on a regular basis when i go they all have nasty attitude, they're always on their phone and they rather converse. and flirt with each other then actually cook food and deal with the service. i will never go back in here i strongly recommend nobody else go in here either. read more

they have not once gotten my order correct. I order a basic Turkey sandwich and every time it is wrong. once, they gave me a Turkey sandwich with no Turkey. It'a worth the walk to go anywhere else. read more

Do not get the tacos. Literally had no flavor. Someone buy this place salt because they need it badly.

I visit weekly for my favorite ingredients - tostadas ($3.75), hominy for pozole, Tajín, Victoria beer ($15 a pack)... Mazapán and Pelón Pelo Rico. They also have those lollipops with a chili coating - YES!! I can't speak too much to their hot food menu, as that's never been why I've stopped by on my way home from the train. A few times though, I've ordered 3 Pastor Tacos ($2.50 each). The Pastor itself is deliciously caramelized but not weirdly pineapple-y like many wannabe Mexican joints. The tacos are small but have that legit diced onion and cilantro I require for a stamp of authenticity. The salsa verde on the tacos is fresh and a level... 6 in spice? I don't have any complaints. I simply don't order much from them because I prefer pozole, burritos, and totopos. They're doing their best to negotiate the needs of the hood with their identity as "Mexican", so no hating. Employees are really kind, no matter the ungodly hour. read more

Excellent local place. Support them! They're always fast, fresh, and friendly. Get an egg and avocado sandwich and pick up some Dos Equis lager. Family run, good people. read more

Comfortable vibe and service is nice, wonderful experience since I can communicate very well with staff.

FOOD LIKE ALWAYS IS AMAZING. The reason I don't give them 5 stars is due to their delivery staff. They are so rude and when it comes to tips they get aggressive. TIPS are optional and if you didn't deliver my food to my door WHY SHOULD I TIP YOU? read more

This is my fave place in the area to get a quick cup of coffee (usually en route to the subway like 10 steps away). Not because the coffee is that amazing, but because a cuppa joe is $1, and the girl who works in the morning knows me and my order by now: "cafe con leche, sin azúcar." Sometimes when walking home in the winter at night, the boy at the counter will give me a hot chocolate to keep my hands warm :) As for their food, I did once get their pork tacos which were really good, but honestly the only reason I don't get them anymore is that it took a while to make them and I was awkwardly waiting around the (small) store for 10 minutes. I remember their bagels and BECs (Bacon Egg & Cheese) to be kinda expensive. Thus, I usually just go their for the coffee and the friendly counter people. read more

Food is good but I only wish they can get my orders correct . Order awhile back they only sent 2of 3 tacos charged . Today ordered philly cheese steak with mozzarella but instead it was yellow cheese . ( gross ) didn't bother complaining so they can take another hour to deliver .

Sandwiches, pancakes, scrambled eggs, mexican soda, V-8 juice, chips, some basic groceries -- delivered when I need them. What's not to love! read more

Only ever gotten delivery from here but it's always fantastic. The tacos are perfect and 24/7 fast delivery? So ideal.

I truly hate to say anything bad about Mexican Deli. I have known the owner since he was running American Deli on 101st St. (now a Verizon store) and then moved up the block to mid-103/104. The food has always been excellent, until the last few months, when the quality has gone downhill. The "cook" is not a cook. He does not WANT to cook. They also now have NO English speaking staff, and all they really want to do is talk with friends on the phone and their friends who visit the store. The most recent issue is that their credit card capability is down and has been for almost a week. The VAST majority of their customers want to use cards or phones (including EBT) to make purchases, and so the store is losing those customers. It seems the staff and the owner simply do not care anymore. It's sad, really, as they seemed to do pretty well, even during Covid. I have to find a new place for a late night meal. read more

I've tried a bunch of their menu items and they are all solidly very good. The Mexican food is exceptional - especially the nachos and the tostada de tinga. There is no other place in the neighborhood where you can get mexican food at any hour, and food of this quality to boot! first of all, the nachos come with freshly fried chips made from what appears to be hand-cut corn tortillas, not the pock-marked yellow triangles that come in a 10-lb foodservice bag. the rest of the ingredients also appear to be prepared from scratch, and dead giveaway of the real deal: the jalapenos are cut vertically and not into the typical bar-appetizer rings read more

Cecina tacos are tasty and can't beat the prices on the tacos. The whole menu is amazing and great prices but them tacos though !!! I promise you won't regret it read more

Best neighborhood Deli in the UWS! Very friendly service, quick, and reasonably priced! Go to sandwiches: Bacon egg and cheese! Chicken cutlet, lettuce, tomato on a hero. Simple Ham n Cheese. read more

I will say that it's a great place to grab your breakfast on the go (you can be in and out in 5 minutes). Sadly, it tastes like they cook everything on the greasy grill with no cleaning in between. By this I mean that your sandwich may taste like the previous customers sandwich (food). Yes, the store is clean and neat and most times everyone is nice and courteous but this one guy... He made my sandwich wrong one day and the next day when my son went he asked him to please make sure it's on a everything bagel because they mixed it up and the gentleman was rude to him and said, "here so you don't complain anymore". I won't be going back there anymore. They can keep their greasy bagels and their intolerable coffee. read more

These guys are quick and efficient. They deliver quick and the quality of their food is completely different from any other deli that serves breakfast! Their bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches are better quality! The bacon is less fat and meatier...the egg itself is not from a batter...you can tell they crack open their eggs to make ya the sandwich! The home fries are good too... read more

Really delicious! I usually order their al pastor torta or their tostada de tinga and it really hits the spot.
