3 Piece Flauta Sampler, chips and guacamole, 3 Piece Taco Tasting
Gab G.

I'm a big fan of Fany Gerson (of Dough, La Newyorkina and Fan-Fan fame), and have been wanting to try her new taco spot in Market 57. A coworker and I went for lunch and tried: + Flautas trio - the chicken was the best one. Little hard to eat with plastic cutlery, so just pick it up and bite (messy but good!) + Taco trio - Birria in particular was great. Three tacos for $15 is a good value in the area + Chips and guac - also solid Overall it was really solid. Unlike Los Tacos No. 1 in the nearby Chelsea Market, there's never a line!! They also carry La Newyorkina paletas sometimes.

Mijo my little one unites Fany Gerson & husband who bring bold Mexican flavors to this new market. A cornucopia of paletas and flautas and tacos.ate: Mushroom carnitas $4.75 each Wild mushroom s plus an incredible corn tortilla make the flavor pop. I loved the Al denteness of the mushrooms and it was so delicious I had another. La bomba. There are three fantastic salsas of varying degrees of hotness add to your meal.

Chips & Guacamole
Suzanne M.

I loved Mijo! Full disclosure, all I had was chips, guac, and some drinks. I can honestly say I think this was the best guac I EVER had. Plus, the woman who served me was so pleasant and kind I didn't care that the credit card machine was having issues. Highly recommend a stop to Mijo for great chips, guac, and customer service!

Visiting Pier 57 we decided to treat ourselves to a little Mexican snack. We ordered the chicken chilaquiles and guacamole with chips. The guacamole was delicious and creamy. Nice sized portion. Great for sharing. The chilaquiles were also good. Note they were a little spicy. They also have a nice assortment of paletas (similar to popsicles). The food is quick, nice sized portion, and fair prices.

THIS GUAC IS ... EVERYONE NEEDS THIS EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR IN THEIR MOUTH NOW !! The staff is super friendly and excited for others to experience their food ! If youre looking for a little snack while you sit back and relax taking in new york city, definitely check this spot out.

Pan de muerto
Jeannette M.

Excellent food, carne asada burrito, flautas, pozole and mushroom taco BUT now they have "pan de muerto" corn husk ash & sugar OMG DELICIOSO‼ nice people great service.

Very lame 2 Tacos de Carne Asada

I have no idea how this place has such good reviews. I know that Mexican food is not great in NYC but this food is terrible. The carne asada tacos are just tortillas with meat and one tiny piece of onion. There's no flavor! My partner had another item on the menu and started laughing when he saw it. Highly recommend people to avoid eating Mexican in NYC and especially avoid this place, as there are other good options at the pier.

The Guard

Certainly several choices to pick from and I would suggest finding a place to sit and eat. Plenty of stools to sit at facing north. There are also small tables facing south. However, the guards of which there are several may stop you from moving any of the chairs and tables to avoid the south on the south side. I was scolded for moving a table for two three feet to avoid the sun. Of course I thought this very odd and hopefully they will in the future stop this type of behavior. Overall a great place to to grab a snack and do give yourself enough time to see all the choices. I will visit again and do take that walk along the River we all need to slow down and smell the you know what!!!

I was at Pier 57 and ate at Mijo. I ordered the Tinga de Pollo Flautas and it was amazing. I wish I lived closer to the pier because I would eat here several times a week. The order comes with 2 Flautas that are filled with white meat chicken, and the chicken was so savory and delicious. It is topped with lettuce and cheese. I wanted to get chips and guac but the portions were so big and very filling that I had to pass lol. Large portions and great prices. My flautas were about $12-$15. They have sauces at the counter that you can add. I added green salsas to mine. I will definitely be back.

Lunch at Toloache yesterday is Lori's favorite meal so far, and tied for me with Kanyakumari. It's…read morea contemporary upscale Mexican bistro located at 251 West 50th Street in the Theater District of Manhattan. Founded in 2007, and led by chef-owner Julian Medina (who grew up in Mexico City and trained in prominent New York kitchens like Maya and Pampano) along with Chef de Cuisine - Fidel Rodriguez, and Sous Chef - Julian Medina. They have real Mexican food like huitlacoche, and Oaxacan-style seasoned grasshoppers. There is a dedicated guacamole and ceviche bar, and a wood-burning oven. The name toloache is Jimsonweed, a flowering plant in Mexican folklore said to be brewed into a love potion that guarantees anyone who drinks it will always return. For drinks, Lori had the Paloma De Pepino - Gran Centenario plata, cucumber, grapefruit soda, lime, and I had the Margarita de la Calle - Maestro Dobel Diamante, cucumber, jalapeño, lime. Both were excellent, and perfectly balanced. Toloache has one of the best guacamoles we've ever had, and they made it fresh and customized it for us. Cilantro tastes like soap to Lori, and each of the three guacs listed it. Also there is a mild traditional, fruta medium, and rojo spicy. We wanted traditional but spicy, and without cilantro. That's what we got. The accompanying chips were better than most as they were the perfect size, not greasy, and strong enough to not break. With the guacamole came a Roasted Tomato salsa that was spectacular. It has roasted tomatoes, chipotle, onion, cilantro, garlic, and a "secret ingredient". It is medium spicy. I'm going to try to figure out how to make this one. Lori loves Fajitas, which are course Tex-Mex, but they make it with Prime NY Strip Steak, and it is amazing ... and huge. Two could share this for lunch. I had the Enchiladas Borrachas - pulled chicken, tomatillo-5 chiles salsa borracha, Mexican cheeses, crema, and avocado-radish salad. This was a delight with great layers of flavor - smoky, moderately spicy, slightly tangy, with a lot of richness from the cheese and crema. The shredded chicken was tender, savory, and relatively mild, mostly there to carry the sauce. When you eat this, be sure to put a slice of the enchilada on your fork, and then with your knife scoop up sauce and pour it over the bite. It's so flavor-packed. We LOVED Toloache, and highly recommend it.

Visited with a reservation on a weekend evening and the place was packed. All seats upstairs and…read moredownstairs were filled except one table, which was reserved for us. I noticed a few people standing outside the restaurant waiting for a table and were less prioritized due to no reservation. Ordered Platos Fuertes Carne Asada, and Frutas Guacamole. Unfortunately I do not remember what my friends ordered but they did order tacos and noted how bold the flavors are and how delicious they tasted. Guacamole was not too spicy, but perfect. Carne Asada dish was smoky and savory. Overall, recommend!
