    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 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.

    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.

    Heard about Presto Cafe today, February 5th,2019, and ordered it the same day. I usually don't order from places I'm unfamiliar with and that's new when I'm hungry because we all know hangry and new places don't mix . HOWEVER I'm pleased to say they were everything their brochure offered. I can't speak yet for the inside of the place (cleanliness, set up, etc!), but soon. 1) the delivery was timely 2) the price was AFFORDABLE for healthy food in the Morningside height area! 3) oh did I mention the PRICE WAS AFFORDABLE!!! 4) the food was delicious and not overly seasoned. 5) they have numerous options for the overly healthy conscious individual *raises hand* I can't verify if they have gluten free options, but definitely brown rice and whole what *Bing bing bing*. I only ordered the burrito and it was HEAFTY but not heavy (meaning I didn't feel fat and gluttonous), however I didn't eat the entire thing at one sitting as it was a nice portion. All that being said I DEFINITELY will be ordering here again. So until next time..., Lee.

And listen... I am a chai queen, so when someone tells me a chai is worth trying, I'm going. She kept telling me, "You're going to love this chai." She orders hers with oat milk and extra cinnamon on top, so that's exactly what I got -- and when I tell you this was one of the best chai lattes I have ever had in my entire chai-drinking life? Silky. Smooth. Perfectly spiced. Just the right amount of warmth. Just... everything. Truly a great chai. The shop itself has such a good vibe. It's not huge, but the space is cozy in the best way. If you don't mind communal seating, it's perfect for settling in with your laptop or a book. They have outlets, the ambiance is chill, and it's one of those spots where you can really get work done while still feeling comfy. I haven't tried their pastries yet, but the atmosphere and that chai alone keep me coming back. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and that's something I really appreciate -- it makes the whole experience feel even better. Built Coffee has definitely become one of our go-to spots for getting out of the house, doing work, or just sipping on something warm and delicious. And again... get the chai. TRUST ME.

Probably the best brussels I have ever had in my life and I'm not even that much a fan of the veggie. I've ordered the salt/brown sugar latte twice now. The first time, I got it iced and it was extremely salty and just wasn't a good latte at all. This time around, I ordered it hot and asked them to ease up on the salt since last time it was very salty, they eased up on it and it was such a great latte, I was so happy with it! I've gotten the chicken and waffles twice as well! I'm a big fan of guava infused butter and got two with my order. Generally the chicken and waffles are a HIT, but the waffles tasted a bit off to me this time around. I think it could mainly be that I was focused on how surprisingly good the brussels and coffee were, that I wasn't too focused on anything else. Service is pretty ehh to me at this place. Love that so far each time I've gone at different times and during different seasons, it's never too packed. Even when it is, it doesn't feel like it. I have not tried the dinner, just the brunch! Brunch is def a go too, can't wait to go again! Also, have not had a cocktail here, but looking forward to trying to hibiscus mule next!

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.
