Great experience ordering delivery from here! It's very hard to find a burrito with refried beans in upper Manhattan for some reason, but Noche Mexicana delivers on this. Their burrito was huge and filled with toppings that other burrito places will charge you $3 each for. Their delivery through their website was also much faster than any third-party delivery app. I'm sure this will be my go-to Mexican spot going forward! read more

Walked in after work and the front was quiet but the kitchen sounded busy. Greeted by an older gentleman and my order was taken quickly. Paid cash to avoid the CC machine fee. Waited about 15min and my food was ready. Got home and went to town! The rice was well seasoned and soft. The chicken used in the enchiladas was a mix of white and dark meat that made a good mix. The enchiladas had the sauce covering the but not drowning which was great because the flavor was on point even though it was spicy! The beans were served on the side which was a plus for me because leftovers made for a pretty awesome bean and cheese burrito the next day. One complaint was the huge slices of onion but that's just a personal preference. I chopped those bad boys down and sprinkled it on my food and it was great! Loved the salad that came in the plate made for a nice crunch. Overall very good, can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

Noche Mexicana was an ok last minute option for lunch. The service was unfriendly, but the food came out pretty fast and hot. The food was decent and decently priced. I don't think I'd come back as it was nothing special and the service wasn't welcoming. read more

Wonderful margaritas, delicious nachos. Great place! They have a fantastic happy hour.

I came here for lunch. The restaurant was pretty empty. I ordered the steak tacos, which were decent. There was nothing really special about it, but they weren't bad. The waitress wasn't as welcoming when I arrived, but when I was ready to pay seems a little bit more welcoming/friendly. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for years now and the food is always on point. Not only is the service superb you cannot beat the price of the drinks or food. Its usually not too crowded and the ambiance is relaxed. I strongly recommend the grilled chicken torta, tacos spicy chicken, nachos or the steak encebollado. Absolutely delish, my mouth is watering just thinking of these dishes. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Shoutout to the servers too, who make the experience all the more enjoyable! read more

Noche Mexicana - Enchiladas verdes de pollo. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

The impressive aspects are numerous. The spot where Noche Mexicana sits makes it easy to find and visit. This restaurant offers good food, decent prices and excellent service. Noche Mexicana employees accommodated our family's seating preferences. Every aspect reflected attention to detail. read more

I came here late Saturday night, starving from a long day of exploring the city. Service was quick and very friendly. I got 4 tacos, steak & alpastor. My friends got quesadillas. Portion sizes are hefty! You definitely won't leave hungry and most likely leave with left overs. Complimentary Chips & salsa were good & spicy. I must admit though the actual food was just okay. Steak lacked flavor and pork was dry. It hit the spot for a good late night spot but I probably wouldn't order the tacos again at least. Tacos were about $5 each but really 1 taco is the size of two& they give extra tortilla. Perhaps I'll try something new if I find my self here again. read more

Stopped by on a Monday afternoon, there was only one patron seated in the restaurant. I was ordering take out and I was standing there for a few minutes before the waitress/host/cashier asked me what I wanted. She seemed super annoyed to answer every and any question about a dish on the menu. The food was upon entering the establishment I was hopeful for great food as it looked authentic. However, each dish was tasteless. Enchiladas, flautas, chalupas had no taste. Between the lack of flavor and poor service I definitely will NOT be returning nor recommending this restaurant. read more

Absolutely delicious food. Love the guacamole. The burritos are the best in the neighborhood. Clean and tasty. Highly recommend!

Stable, staple of Mexican food in the area that has withstood the test of time and quality so far. Their aguas frescas do not disappoint and neither does the rest of their fare ranging from tacos to enchiladas, quesadillas and burritos. They usually offer special plates that show a good sample of their delicious food. While it may not be exactly what you would find on the streets of Mexico, you can surely order a dish and receive exactly what you expect. Considering that an unlucky opposite corner of the same block has not been able to sustain many iterations of Mexican restaurants, I'd say Noche Mexicana reigns supreme. During COVID-19, they've adapted a solid outdoor eating area so that the indoor is purely for service. While eating outdoors in this corner isn't appealing (construction and lack of view), at least the option exists. Grab your food to go and enjoy! read more

Had a quick dinner here before heading to a movie. My guest and I both had two soft tacos with shredded pork, with a shared side of rice, two soft drinks and chips/salsa to start. Neither of us love really hot sauce and are used to having a mild red salsa with chips so we asked for an alternative to the medium heat green salsa they provided. They brought a red salsa, but it was basically just as spicy as the first one. At least they tried! The chips were warm and crunchy in the best way, must have been homemade. The tacos were honestly huge, usually what I want but I ended up being so full at the end of this meal I wasn't sure I'd make it to the movie! Both tacos care with two white corn tortillas, plenty of meat and shredded lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. I would order them again for sure. Loved the large portions here and everything was fresh. Our order was only $30 total, so it was a bargain compared to some restaurants in the area. There are a few lackluster Mexican restaurants on the Upper West Side, but I don't consider this place one of them. read more

I love finding places like this where the food is what's valuable not the fanciness of the interior design-- a little hypocrisy to my previous but here it works perfect. Our service was so good, the food was even better very casual and family style. I was surprised when I saw their menu and the prices, $4.50-$5 for a single taco that's bigger than commercial restaurants, double tortilla... generous servings? Count me IN!!! (BTW the pollo taco was immaculate) My date ordered a taco salad, and it was the first time I saw this hence my excitement in the photo. Initially it arrived with raw veggies like peppers, carrots and onions. We sent it back for it to be cooked to match the warmth of the steak, honestly that's the only bad thing I can say about the food. I do wish the margarita didn't taste pre-made. 100% feel as though digital marketing needs to be better but well worth the visit, I wish I lived next door. read more

Very reasonable prices, especially during HappyHour 3-7pm with $9 Quesadillas and $4.50 beers! Authentic Mexican food that could hold it's own with those in San Diego (I lived there for 22yrs, and of course have been to Mexico many times). The Quesadillas are made on corn tortillas which is not the traditional flour / lots of lard that most places do it, but I appreciate the slightly healthier version! read more

Noche Mexicana - Happy Hour hh is 3-7pm! - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

these are pretty comical reviews by, I'm going to assume, people who "think" they know Mexican food. generally I find these reviews useless, and self-serving. the several times I've been to Noche Mexicana, the food was very average, over-priced for what they serve even though to others they think it's "of value"?? the margaritas were tasteless and if there was the 'right" amount of tequila, I beg to differ - skimpy pour to say the least. service was not noticeable, and I agree with another reviewer, the waitress reappeared with a phony smile, when brought check over. learned my lesson about this place after several visits. where they got their reputation, I wonder? a very average-to-below average neighborhoodish Mexican restaurant, dark, -0- atmosphere, crappy drinks, average food - go figure. IF I lived more than a block away, would never go! read more

I'm totally over the moon about this place, for many reasons. We happened upon it last night after walking out of a different Mexican restaurant nearby. What an amazing find. It was great food, great service, reasonable prices considering it's on the UWS and they did something few other places would have done, which scored big points. When we sat down and were looking at our menu a homeless gentleman came by asking for something to eat. We run a non profit for the homeless, and it's part of who we are. So, we ordered him dinner to go. The restaurant wasn't busy. We were the only table. (They do a lot of take out.) Anyway, as they weren't busy, they generously allowed the man to sit at a table and eat dinner like a human being and treated him with the same kindness and dignity we all want and expect. That not only showed the character of our waitress, but it doubled her tip! Now, back to the other important part: The food. De-lic-ious. Guacamole? Was better than 75% of the table side guac we've had at much fancier restaurants. I had the steak fajitas. So good. Cooked perfectly. Large(!!) portion. Rice, beans, all the fixings. My husband had three kinds of tacos. And, he's pretty picky. Okay, he's very picky about his food, especially Mexican and especially tacos. The el pastor was gone in no time. As were the shrimp and the other. And the service was friendly, attentive and pretty awesome. They also adhere to all the COVID cleaning requirements, along with wrapped utensils and paper menus. Will we be back? 100% ABSOLUTELY! read more

Noche Mexicana - Outside outdoor seating dining - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Let start with the positives. The food at this place comes in good portions and is delicious. I ate all of mine and genuinely enjoyed every bite. The frozen margaritas are also delicious. They Have a nice flavor and are mixed surprisingly well considering they are frozen. I thought the food/ drinks were on point at this place. It's was also very clean. What was lacking was everything else. We literally had to find our waitress whenever we wanted anything because she never came to check on us. The place isn't that big so you have to try hard not to see the patrons. That's why it only gets three stars. We were not checked on at all and had to track our waitress down to order. I would visit this spot again if I was hungry and happened to be near it. Probably would grab the food to go and have a drink or two inside. But literally would be running back to eat here read more

Noche Mexicana - 24. Huevos Rancheros - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Really good food, friendly service, no pretension. Love this place. A rare found in Manhattan these days.

The outdoor seating option was nice, it was blocked off so you don't feel like you're sitting on the sidewalk like other restaurants. The food was average. I mostly enjoyed the strong margaritas. read more

My fourth time here, and WTF - the waiter came promptly, the water came promptly, the free chips and spicy salsa, with its late sharp pepperiness came promptly. The appetizer - very, very good guacamole and crisp chips - came promptly. My guest's steak burrito came promptly. And my huevos rancheros came promptly. W T F ? This was, for years, a restaurant that served good food in good portions at a reasonable price - and with the s-l-o-w-e-s-t service I'd ever experienced. Like, if you wanted to eat by 7:00, you'd need to order around 6:15. Today the quality of the service matched the preparation of the food. Oh, and who knew that two pounds of refried black beans, yellow rice, fresh homemade salsa, guacamole, and fried eggs could be so filling? read more

The Aguas Frescas are out of this world! I get the large Horchata and Jamaica. I can't choose a favorite because they are so different and are equally delicious. The ham torta comes with yummy fries and is great. The tamales are amazing - again can't seem to choose one over the other between red and green. The egg dishes - breakfast all day - are good but very spicy (at least to me). Grateful for Noche Mexicana II. Food is consistently good, comes warm, orders are accurate, delivery quick. Definitely recommend ordering delivery via their app to eliminate extra fees and get the restaurant the most money possible. read more

I'm shocked that I've never been here before. The outside is completely underrated compared to their affordable and extensive menu of tons of Mexican dishes. They give nachos and salsa while you wait, which are refillable for free. We ordered the grilled chicken soft tacos and the shrimp soft tacos, which were sooo good. It wasn't super heavy either, so I didn't feel like I was eating a ton. And it was really fresh too. Also, I can't recommend enough their margarita on the rocks. It's sooo delicious, and it's actually pretty strong without an overwhelming alcohol taste. I actually only had one with three tacos and a ton of nachos and still felt woozy leaving. I wish I could get margaritas here all the time (in addition to all of the amazing food). The service is great too. They were pretty quick to get our meal out. read more

Noche Mexicana - Amazing margaritas and soft tacos - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

It's a staple of mine. Seriously strong margaritas. Good salsa. Best chicken soup and chicken with red mole is my current favorite.

I ordered a Chicken Enchilada and a Spicy Pork burrito, both were so bland I didn't eat all day and just threw the food out after a few bites. I'm only writing this so others can save their money. There are way better Mexican places than this one. read more

Horrible service. Horrible food. The fajitas were watered down, and no sizzle at all. For $21 I expect more.

Great food and they are really nice. We planned to take the food to go and eat at the car. When we asked if we could eat inside, they unwrapped our food and laid it out on our table. Excellent service and amazing people!! read more

Home style cooking, delicious and traditional but not refined. The giveaway of any Mexican restaurant is the tortilla and cheese. If you are served white flower tortilla and yellow cheese it tends to NOT be authentic. I am happy to report here they are traditional and authentic. Please know this is not high end Rosa Mexicana style cuisine that you get at a $40 a plate restaurant. This has more of a neighborhood feel with the local flare. Authentic simple (in a good way) food that my mom would have made. Some may find the plating too simple. Low price and good food. read more

Noche Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Not overpriced and this is Mexican food that is about as authentic as you can get. I'll note that I've noticed that some Mexican restaurants get higher reviews, but they're they're selling food that is often adapted to conventional American tastes. I much prefer the authenticity. And by the way, I love their tamales and chiles relleños. read more

I just got the guacamole which was very uninspired. Seemed to just be mashed up avocado with maybe a little lime juice? No tomato cilantro jalapeños or red onion. Extremely poor service no one came by to see if i needed anything and I wanted to order a second beer. I won't be back read more

The atmosphere was nice and clean. The customer service was great. However the food wasn't that tasteful. The steak was tough and didn't have flavor and the chicken didn't taste like anything. Also ordered a frozen margarita and it had a bad taste to it! I hope my review can help improve the quality of the taste of food. read more
