    My Dinner
    Andrew A.

    I ate here yesterday September 23rd, 2023 between 10:30pm 11:15pm So I need to address the ELEPHANT in the room.....Was I served JOLLOF RICE?!! Because when I had seen my plate come out the kitchen... I won't lie i literally thought it was JOLLOF RICE... but after tasting it, I immediately knew it wasn't. But LET IT BE KNOWN SAN JOSE's RICE AND BEANS WAS PHENOMENAL! Perfectly cooked fluffy rice; beans was cooked amazingly! My chips and salsa tasted fresh and homemade so that was enjoyable! Now for the MAIN EVENT.... After a long day of mailman business and dropping off supplies at my family's spot. I was craving A WRAP OR SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH EXTRA CONDIMENTS(y'all know how I do). So I had to dig deep and remember I've eaten at this establishment before but never reviewed this place yet. I ordered the chicken and chorizo quesadilla (homemade corn tortilla)... FLAWLESS. The chicken was seasoned well balanced. Chorizo didn't taste like it was cheap packaged meat. Everything to my point of view was fresh and good quality. But I must say I'd wish the ratio of bread to meat. I would of preferred a bit more meat...but there is an option for that. Bathroom was decent.. overall the night was ended beautifully with a live performance from some local artist who was singing karaoke which was also beautiful. Yeah I was mostly paying attention to my late dinner but anyway. It was goood. It's all good. The staff were good. Food high quality made to order. Please support the locals !

    A gem! We started off with amazing salsa. The server was sooo kind and asked about my spice level and made sure I was all set

    A place where family is definitely welcomed! This space is generous with food, they have live karaoke, the waiters are very kind and professional. If you ask them to explain a dish they explain it and give you a heads up on the spice level. The staff is wonderful. The restaurant and vibrant, festive and the food is on the money. Even my god son loved it!

    Love this place! Always very friendly, fresh food, fun decorations. Nopales were delicious.

    Birria!!! Soooo Good
    Jeffrey A.

    Must have! I recently visited San Jose Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The Birria Tacos were amazing and the added touch of pineapple in the Jarritos made it a unique and delicious combo. The generous bowl of Consome was the perfect complement and set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The chips and onions with a sliced lime to start were also a great touch. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a quick stop before the game since it's one block from Yankee Stadium or even for a night out with friends. Overall, I recommend them and can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

    Carne Asada Mexican Style Taco
    Sydney S.

    Delightful! They had a comfortable indoor seating area, really nice staff, and great food! I ordered the carne asada tacos, Mexican style! Not only were they DELICIOUS, the meal was super inexpensive. I actually walked over from the mall complex so if you need to park, that's a really close, reliable option. Highly recommend, especially for a midweek lunch!

    Mexican Style Tacos
    Agta B.

    Such delicious tacos! I love that they make it clear you can have Mexican style vs American style tacos. I loved the al pastor and the shrimp tacos. Too bad they were out of the fish because that's what I was craving. The rice and beans were on point. We ordered delivery and it was timely and still warm. Will have to go to the restaurant soon to try more delicious stuff. This place is great.

    Flan in the Cup
    Shirley S.

    Amazing hole in the wall close to the Yankee Stadium! Incredibly authentic. Get the burrito, it's flavorful, hefty, and fresh. The tacos were great as well, chicken was dry. Prices can't be beat. The service is friendly, and the interior is warm, casual, inviting. They have tres leches and flan for dessert as well so treat yourself!

    Rice and beans, quesabirria, shrimp tacos, veggie tacos, micheladas

    Discovered this restaurant after a search for restaurants near yankee Stadium. What a great find! The shrimp tacos and veggie tacos are outstanding. The salsa has a kick that hits the back of your throat. Highly recommended!

    Foodies that are willing to travel to the Bronx should consider SJR. They make a superb bistec burrito and the chips and guac are addictive.

Being…read morefrom California, I definitely missed the Mexican food scene, so I wanted to try Taqueria Tlaxcalli to taste a bite of home. When we entered, we were greeted with kind smiles from the ladies and they welcomed us to sit at any free table. Inside has lots of decor with ample seating. We sat and a server grabbed us menus. We got a carnitas burrito, grilled cactus side, horchata, and strawberry limeade (per her recommendation). Everything came so fast, and they even split the burrito for us! Oh my god, everything was so good. This has to be one of the BEST burritos I have ever had, comparable to the ones in San Diego. I love carnitas, and they do it so well here. It was tender, flavorful, just the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning! And the horchata was the best I have ever had too! The strawberry limeade was refreshing, and the grilled cactus was good! It was my first time trying it and it reminded me of aloe vera/okra texture. I had such a great time, such a great experience, I will definitely be back!

They have options for dining in or taking out and were quite efficient We went with a burrito and a few tacos - the burrito is massive, I would say it's meant for two people at once and filled with rice, meat, vegetables, thick flour tortilla and covered with different sauces - it is very heavy! The tacos are Mexican-style with meat and vegetarian options and were simply delicious. The meats we got - carnitas, steak, chicken were all cooked great with tender juiciness. They gave ample lime and sauces to pair as needed. Prices felt reasonable. Overall taqueria tlaxcalli had exceptional Mexican food for NYC with very good hospitality and dining options and I highly recommend! The tacos were a tier above my favorite NYC tacos - Santos, Los tacos no 1 and carnitas Ramirez.

I usually go to the Westchester Square spot as it's the location closest to my parents, but I've also been to their restaurant in Kingsbridge and (most recently) this one on Westchester Ave. The standard items one would expect to find at a Mexican restaurant are on EP's menu. What makes them stand out for me though, is the vast selection they have within each menu section and the quality of they food they serve. My usual go-tos are their burritos and tacos - they offer a variety of proteins to complement and they're always delicious. Outside of that, their soups are great as well as their nachos. I've only eaten in-house a few times; my standard is takeout and it's always ready by the promise time. Overall, Estrellita is a resounding yes for me; they are one of the best examples of quality and consistency, and I would always recommend them for good Mexican food in the Bronx.
