I came here for dinner, and this was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to! 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!

We were greeted by the staff and stated we can sit wherever we wanted! I appreciated the decor of the place! My girlfriend and her sister ordered tacos and I ordered a burrito with chorizo! They were all extremely flavorful! I ordered a tamarind drink which was amazing! Wasn't too sweet which I appreciated! We would definitely come back here!

My wife and I have been going to Metate for many years. The new owners have ruined the restaurant…read more I sat for almost 15 minutes waiting to order and ask two different waiters to take my order and both declined. Yet they took the orders for the tables on both sides of me. When I left I decided to call and discuss this with the manager. When I informed him of the situation his response was "ok, we have enough customers anyway". Never go to this restaurant unless you do not want to get served and treated with disrespect. The only reason I gave them one star is because I couldn't submit this comment without giving them at least one star.

Cocina Chente in Riverdale gave my friends and me a great experience last Friday. Making a…read morereservation via Google was easy, and the staff responded promptly, showing politeness and cheerfulness, creating a good first impression. The restaurant had a fun, energetic vibe with many tables occupied, creating a lively ambiance perfect for the weekend. The guacamole and chips were superb--fresh, thick, and satisfying. I ordered beef nachos, and my friends had chicken quesadillas; all arrived hot and tasty. The rice on the side was well-seasoned. For drinks, I had the Rosa Colada--visually impressive with smoke for a dramatic effect--and my friends enjoyed Passion Fruit Mojitos. Both drinks were not overly sweet, a nice change. Overall, Cocina Chente offered a charming dining experience with great food, drinks, attentive staff, and a lively vibe. It's a must-visit in Riverdale. We're returning, especially for their guac and chips--our favorites!

Again, they give a lot of meat which is good, I wish the steak was more flavorful but the burrito was overall okay- I've had better, wish they put more crema and beans!

I ordered the birria tacos and they were so good. The tortillas were soft with just the right amount of crisp, giving that perfect texture. The beef was incredibly well-marinated--so tender it practically felt like it would fall off the bone if there was one. And let's talk about the consommé... perfectly seasoned, rich, and garnished just right. It really brought everything together and elevated the whole experience. If you're debating whether to try them--do it. Just maybe order a little earlier if you're hungry
