This is a little gem in upper Manhattan, located on E.97 st. Between Park & Madison Ave. If you like authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place for you. A family owned business that has been a part of the community for decades. It's well decorated and it also has outdoor seating for your convenience. The service is friendly and attentive while the food is excellent, I had the Steak Fajitas, and we also tried the Birria Tacos. They were both delicious , and I definitely will go back to taste more choices

Great little Mexican place with a wide menu. I got the Chicken Enchiladas and a Traditional Margarita. The server was exceptionally attentive-- I have very rarely had better service at a restaurant. One of my friends forgot her to go box and he came outside after us to ensure she got it. would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

Stopped by with some friends on a weekday lunch and it was a great place to catch up over food. It wasn't too crowded and the servers were very attentive. Our food was good and just the right amount to fill us up without feeling too full.

If you're looking for some delicious Mexican food in East Harlem, I suggest trying out El Paso Restaurante Mexicano. From start to finish the meal chock full of delicious bites, warm hospitality and good vibes. The inside is decorated colorfully and the music makes it a lively and fun atmosphere. The Al Pastor tacos were incredible as you could taste the achiote marinade on the chicken which was paired with roasted pineapple to truly bring out the sweetness of the fruit. Their birria tacos were also top notch as the meat was insanely tender and juicy. The elote was well balanced and "seasoned." Would've preferred it off the cobb for the sake of clean hands but when it tastes that good, beggars can't be choosers. Their rockstar dish is the aguachile. It's absolutely bursting with flavor. Every bite is loaded with that classic aguachile flavor that you love. Dessert wise, we got the flan and rollitos. Solid flan overall but the rollitos were the highlight. Perfect combo of pastry, bananas and chocolate. Highly recommend especially with their bottomless drinks for brunch!
