I found my new favorite Mexican spot! After driving by so many times, my boyfriend and I finally decided to check it out. We went for an early dinner on a Saturday night and nearly every table was open. That quickly changed within an hour as many people stopped to pick up to-go orders or dine in. They have about 8 or so tables and it's a casual environment so you order at the counter before you sit down. For drinks, they have tons of Mexican sodas, regular sodas, water, Coconut water and a large selection of beers. We started with a chicken tamale and order of chips and guacamole. Both were absolutely delicious! The guac was loaded with tomatoes and cilantro - just the way I like it. The tamale was also insanely fresh and served piping hot. For our entrees, I ordered three tacos - one al pastor with Pineapple, Pollo (chicken) and Cameron (shrimp). The tortillas were fresh and all of them were great. They brought out a green and red salsa, both perfectly complimented the tacos. My boyfriend ordered a carnitas burrito, which he loved. It was a great size and really tasty! I couldn't skip dessert so I tried their Tres Leches, which is one of the best I've had in the area. Not only is their menu huge, but their food is so fresh. I can't recommend them enough! They're also on Grub Hub and Door Dash.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican, the person who took my order is from Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City). We recently moved from Texas back to New York and have really been searching for a great place to go for tacos! We found it. Really enjoyed the people running the restaurant when we attended, they were really kind and we all had a great time. The mini caldo soup had some amazingly fresh Chayote! I was curious where they are sourcing their ingredients from, because that was impressive! All plates came with the standard cucumbers and radishes as if you were in Mexico. They have hot sauces and it looks like if you ask for roja or verde salsa, they'll give you them for your table. The roja has a chipotle woodfire taste and a heavy slow burn afterward - it was GOOD!! The verde was milder, but still medium, I personally loved this one. Guacamole was made fresh - personally, it was a bit chunky for my taste, but I think they're catering to their clientele in the area with having it be chunky. Presentation of the Birria tacos was on point! They fried the tacos shells perfectly and THEN made them ::chefs kiss:: that was always my complaint in Texas was they deep fried the Barbacoa in the tortilla - so this was a nice touch. All in all - we really loved it! We will be back Beverage options include the standard Jarritos from their variety pack, Mexican colas, Fanta de naranja and diet cokes.

Love this place! I have yet to make it there in person but have ordered takeout several times! Fresh, authentic Mexican food. Generous portions with delicious homemade sauces and other ingredients at affordable prices. I can't wait to eat at the restaurant.

Tacos were a great price. 3/$9. I had the vegetal and it was rice with black beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions jalapeños and cilantro. The cilantro was very minimal though. I asked for no cheese. Came with 2 sliced cukes and lime wedge on the side. The food was decent for a quick cheap lunch. Service was pretty fast as well.

Mmm. Authentic and delicious food. Watch out - the fresh house-made salsa served with the chips has it in for you (in a good way). I'm a fan of the spicy - when I lived in California a friend trained me, taking me from blanching at almost any hint of spiciness to being able to eat many people under the table in terms of spicy food, and this salsa just about hits the upper limit of my comfort zone (unless I'm feeling extra-adventurous, as I sometimes am). I don't expect that at a taqueria in Upstate New York, but it's here and delightful if you like the spice. It's a chunky salsa fresca, with big chunks, and the chunks of jalapeño are as big and as numerous as those of onion and tomato. Mmm. I had tres tacos con arroz, frijoles y huevo (no meat, of course...and I think the menu called it "...y huevos", but there was actually only a single egg), and it was fresh and excellent and I couldn't finish the whole plate (though in fairness I'm still working on it...slowly, slowly...but I don't think Imma finish it either way. Oof). The flavor of everything on my plate was quite mild after that salsa, and I thought about choosing a hot sauce or six from the very well-stocked hot sauce shelf next to the counter, but even *my* mouth wasn't ready for too much more hotness after that amazing salsa fresca. I'd go into more detail but I feel a bit self-conscious continuing to occupy this booth all by myself when the restaurant is full of customers. So maybe I'll continue later. But I recommend the place.

I think this is what I've been waiting for, for the last 35 years. This is the closest I've come to my memory of homecooked Mexican meals since the last time a dear Mexican friend invited us to her house for dinner before moving to Phoenix. Let's start with the negatives. First, the only three printed menus are taped to either the ordering counter or the window next to the front door. One side of the window menu is viewed from outside, and the other side is viewed from indoors. Keep in mind with the bright sun shining through the translucent plastic menu, some of what you read is backward print inhibiting what you are trying to read from inside. They do not have any printed takeout menus available. I'm going to post my best effort in modifying the window menu photos to make them readable. Yes, there are large posters on the wall listing the menu dishes available, but they are not as well laid out as the printed menu. My other major negative is the lack of real silverware. Plastic silverware has its place, but only if you are eating finger food. You might want to bring your own silverware. I've seen people bring their own chopsticks to Asian restaurants, why not bring silverware where not available? OK, now that you've absorbed my pet peeves, FORGET THEM. The food we had on this first visit mostly outweighs those negatives. Besides, if our future experiences are equally as tasty and enjoyable, we'll have adapted to the menu as we become more familiar with it. I ordered a standard by which I judge Mexican restaurants, Mole con Pollo ($13) (for some reason included on the menu under Soups & Salads). The first thing I was pleased to see was that I had received a whole chicken leg. The mole was reddish in color and contrasted nicely with the yellow rice and black beans. Everything was served nice and hot, even three freshly pressed and grilled tortillas. The bone-in chicken was moist and tender enough that the plastic knife was not much of a deterrent. With the blend of the wonderful flavors of the chicken, mole, rice, and beans, the only thing left on my plate was a few bones. My wife ordered from the Appetizers section, Cheese Empanadas ($9), two to a serving and Beef Tamales ($3.50). Her initial reaction was to how large these servings were. The tamale was served first, accompanied by lettuce, cucumber, pepper slices, and wedges of lime. The masa wrapped pieces of cooked beef were moist, tender, and flavorful. The side of vegetables were fresh, only the lettuce was difficult to pick up with the plastic fork. The Empanada surprised us both. Initially it looked like a plate of shredded lettuce topped with crumbled cheese and a creamy dressing. However, hidden underneath all that were two large, deep-fried tortillas filled with cheese. We both were amazed at the crispy thinness of the tortillas. Picking them up by hand with their toppings, they delivered both flavor and texture. My wife brought one of the empanadas home for the next day. We recommend eating your empanadas at the restaurant while they are hot and crispy. They have a nice selection of Jarritos sodas ($3); I enjoyed the guava flavor. My wife had a bottle of Poland Spring Lime ($3). Our next visit, we'll have to save room to try something in the dessert case.

Cute little family owned place. They were quite busy for Cinco de Mayo and we just beat the crowd when we arrived. The menu is sort of difficult to read but we ordered tacos and nachos. Tacos came with cilantro, onion. I asked for them with everything including upgrades like sour cream and guacamole but I dont think she understood or the kitchen didn't. We also ordered no onions on the nachos but they came with a bunch. She clearly wrote the ticket, so the kitchen staff just messed up. Their daughter was cute and offered my 12 month old an animal cracker. We cleaned our own table when we got there and there was one child high chair. I'd go here as a local lunch or quick dinner. Just don't expect anything fancy.

A little hole-in-the-wall place that certainly seems larger than its actual footprint due to the vivid colors spashed about inside. My wife decided to come here in Cinco de Mayo and when we arrived around 5:20 it was mostly empty (it only has about 10 table total). When we left around 6:15 it was packed with more people trying to get in. To a native Spanish speaker or to someone very familiar with the food the menu would be passable. However, I really struggled with it. Both in understanding what they were offering and what things were priced at. They mostly do tacos, and today's specials were four fish-inspired dishes. Admittedly I don't like onions, I don't speak Spanish, and have the genetic mutation where cilantro tastes like soap. Thus, this place would never be first on my list. But, to be fair to them I decided to order nachos and asked them to hold the Onion. My wife placed the order and the woman taking it understood. She wrote down "no onions" in English on the sheet. And, as I have come to expect in places like this, my nachos were filled with onions anyway. I ate around them and mostly enjoyed the food, though I couldn't help but feel put out by the experience. Had I ordered something where onions couldn't have been avoided that would have been my fault, but this clearly had to do with the people making the orders in the back. And there were at least 5-6 back there at all times. That being said, the staff were friendly. One gentleman offered Harrison a lollipop candy. Twice, one of the owner's little girl came out and offered Harrison animal crackers (which he liked!) and introduced us to her bunny rabbit stuffed animal. They are friendly and mean well. Food came out quick. The place is a fun place. Most of my stars are because of that. It just isn't my type of place because there aren't many "safe" dishes for me to order. But, I saw some ideas that I might try to make at home. Note: the restaurant is practically across the street from a riverside park, so if your food will survive a few minutes trip then eating by the water would probably be really nice.

Taqueria Tren Maya opened recently next door to Mr. Subb in the former Jazzy Kids Care space at Village Plaza in Green Island. This family operated Mexican eatery serves up made to order food including tacos, empanadas, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, chimichangas, chiiaquiles, tortas, tamales, guisados, camarones, sopes and breakfast items (eggs) too. Cold drinks in the cooler including can sodas, Mexican Coke, Jarritos, Gatorade and fruit drinks. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating in the festive decorated dining area. There is an ATM next to the counter, which implies it's cash only here. I ordered 3 Asado (Steak) Tacos ($9) for takeout. The tacos were prepared to order and ready and boxed in 8 minutes after ordering. The 3 street tacos were filled with plenty of diced grilled well done steak with onions and cilantro in soft grilled corn tortillas, sliced cucumbers, lime, & a chilled verde sauce provided on the side. These asada street tacos had nice spicy and savory flavors, which were very similar to the asada street tacos I get from a taco truck parked close to my home in NH.
