    3 Chicken Tacos
    Nina C.

    So far have only tried the chicken tacos and rice with beans, and it was all great! It's one of my new favorite spots in the area. The food is delicious, fresh and inexpensive. They have a pretty big menu ranging from a breakfast menu, to appetizers, tacos, smoothies and ice coffees. What more could you ask for?

    Enchiladas Verdes
    Anasofia T.

    Recently moved into the area so have been in the search for a new lunch spot and I think I found it! They have a daily lunch special for less than ten bucks which is always great! However, the first time I ordered I got the enchiladas instead and they were very tasty! Super cheesy and the sauce tasted nice and fresh. I also loved that it came with a side of rice and beans. They also have some pretty great combo deals. My partner and I ordered the taco special for dinner the other night and it was great! 6 tacos for 23 bucks and even after adding sides of rice and beans and chips and guacamole it was not very expensive at all!

    I ubereats my lunch from here way too often. I can't get enough of their grilled chicken sandwich and their smoothies. The sandwich is huge, enough for two separate meals. And, they have a variety of smoothies to choose from and so many ways to customize it. Also, the prices are very reasonable.

    Chicken Fajita Taco Bowl
    Mia E.

    Hello - My name is Mia and I am addicted to Presto Fresh Cafe. This is my go to delivery (and pick up) when I need a quick, good meal. They always package things very nearly and delivery fast. I always get the chicken fajita burrito or burrito bowl. Alway jam packed and super filling. If taste well seasoned and doesn't leave me feeling terrible like some off her quick bites places. They are also very reasonably priced so check it out!

    Surprisingly fresh foods and juices. I delayed coming here to ensure that they had worked out all beginner's kinks that usually occur with new locales. This place seems to be faring quite well. They can handle a grill pretty well as they made a surprisingly good toasted caprese panini as well as enchiladas, flautas and a convincing guacamole. The spot is clean, with a steady rate of business which keeps items moving and not sitting on shelves too long. While it serves good food, it is not a destination nor a place to impress. However, it is a reliable deli that has good service. Good for the area and also offers delivery.

    I love this place! Everything tastes super fresh. The people that work there are personable. Glad there is this healthy and fresh option in the neighborhood. Tacos are great and the grilled chicken sandwich is a hearty favorite.

    Grill Veggie Wrap
    Will M.

    Went to this place because they are always busy! The food is delicious, it's advertised as "Mexican food" but it's really health food with a latin flare with flavors you'll from the Caribbean, South America, and even the Mediterranean. I've been multiple times to try vegetarian items off the menu. I prefer the grill veggie wrap. The smoothies and juices are okay, but in comparison to the hundreds of other places around to grab a drink, I would stick to the food. Everything was fresh and made to order. Given the high volume of customers, be prepared to wait... even if you order online or by phone.

    I visited this location in August of 2024 for lunch. I placed an order for pick up via the phone as their website was giving me issues. As I arrived to the store the representative at the register was on the phone. After about 5 minutes I was able to tell her which order I was there to pick up. The store accepts cash or card. However, if you're paying with card you have to pay on their kiosk. This should have been stated when I placed my order. I was annoyed I wasn't told they only accept cash at the register what if I didn't have cash on me. This is very time consuming as you have to place the order all over again on the kiosk just to pay. I came during my lunch break and had about 2-3 orders along with mines to pick up. I ended up paying in cash since I was on a time crunch. There are about 4-5 bar stools to sit down inside of the restaurant. I did notice some tables and chair outside as well. I ordered the chicken empanada and the chicken quesadilla. The shell of the empanada was cooked perfectly but I was a fan of the chicken filling. I may try the beef empanada the next time. The quesadilla was really delicious, it was a total of 4 pieces cut up. I ended up getting full from eating two pieces of the quesadilla and the chicken empanada. I ordered a lemonade with my meal and it was really delicious nice and sweet. My coworkers rave about the taco bowl and the tacos. Those are next on my list to try. The place is accessible and easy to get to via public transportation. If you're looking for some delicious Mexican food in Harlem, check out Presto. I will return to this location to continue to eat their food. I do think they need to fix the whole reordering on the kiosk if you're paying with card situation which is why I'm taking off a star. I understand many businesses so not like accepting card because of the transaction fee they're charged but there should be a way to send the price to the kiosk rather than me reordering.

Yes, a kale salad and a guava waffle. Stay with me. The salad is fresh, savory, and hearty, especially with the grilled chicken. Then comes the waffle--warm, slightly sweet, and topped with guava rum butter that melts into every little pocket. Oh my goodness. Taking a bite of the savory chicken and kale, followed by that soft guava waffle, gives me the perfect sweet-and-savory meal. It should not work as beautifully as it does, but it absolutely does. And the brown sugar latte? Always. It's smooth, comforting, and sweet without tasting like someone poured syrup into a cup and called it coffee. The space has the easy, unhurried feeling of a neighborhood coffee shop, but the menu is giving a real brunch experience. It's cozy and beautifully lit during the day--the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy yourself without feeling rushed. The service matches that energy. Everyone is attentive, kind, and genuinely knows the menu. They always greet you with a smile and give you exactly the right amount of small talk: enough to make you feel welcomed, never so much that it interrupts your peace. The atmosphere, the people, and that guava rum butter keeps me coming back.

I ordered a vegan pizza with some toppings but wanted pepperoni and that wasn't an option. I made a note asking if a substitution was possible, knowing it likely wasn't because of a price difference. I'm not vegan, but I needed a dairy-free alternative since I am breastfeeding a baby with a cow milk protein intolerance. The LOADED up my pizza. Truly stand-up humans. Thanks, Lucille's, if you're reading this: you made my night!

I ended up starving and looking for a place in the neighborhood for a breakfast sandwich. Rimar looked good from the outside, there were a bunch of banners announcing them as a "brand new" business having a "grand opening". Once inside, I realized that was probably not true. Looking around, I didn't see any coffee nor was there any kind of posted menu indicating the possibility of breakfast sandwiches. The man behind the counter was friendly enough though, and took my order for 2 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on a roll. He also indicated that he DID have coffee. Great! While I was waiting in the store for 15 minutes for my order. I noticed a woman (maybe another owner) casing the place down and staring at everyone who entered. I noticed that the rest of the store sold only a bleak selection of junk food. There was nothing interesting on the shelves! I noticed a man and woman come in, have an entirely transactional conversation and then leave, buying nothing. I noticed two separate hipsters walk in, look around and then walk out. I waited and waited. Finally, my order was ready. Without any register or paper calculations, the man told me my order was $10 exactly. Not feeling too good about that. The coffee was super hot and actually ok, I think he brewed a fresh pot on my request (thank you for that). The breakfast sandwiches were pretty awful. Greasy eggs, strangely chopped and super greasy bacon, you get the picture. I think Rimar could really do much better. They are in a great location without a lot of direct competition, in a neighborhood, that I am certain, would support a nicer deli with expanded options.
