Take out and delivery spot and the food is excellent. I had the chicken and steak tortas, everything was made with fresh ingredients.

The food was so good. The food had so much meat. I love the fact that I didn’t have to ask for sauce or limes they pack everything up. If I could give 10 stars I would

It’s a small hole in the wall kind of place, with a welcoming atmosphere. We ordered three types of tacos: Asada, carnitas and chicken. They were absolutely delicious. And the tomatillo sauce and chili sauce was yummy. The lady behind the counter had a smile and was helpful and friendly. If I’m ever back in that area, I will definitely go again.

So I order from here every month through uber eats (which I hate) and last night the courier stole my food after picking up. I spoke with a very nice lady who confirmed this and told me to order again and she’ll make it right away. So I did and got my food about 30 mins later and noticed she included a piece of delicious chocolate cake with a note on the bag. Honestly, I had a mild break down right before getting my food and this week has been hell. But that one little gesture made me feel better and yes, I cried lmao. Called and said thank you! Btw the food is so good! I had a carnitas quesadilla and my gf had chicken tacos!

They say NYC has no good Mexican food but this place is LEGIT. I got picaditas and horchata and it was all extremely good and authentic. I don't say that lightly!

I've been coming here for about a year and half now, and It's my go to for a quick lunch. Great portions and the food is pretty good, and they show managed to keep their prices relatively low even after the insane inflation levels. The online ordering system makes ordering a cinch. You can create an account to make ordering even faster. They have never gotten an order wrong or mixed up, and I've been there almost 50 times at this point. (I have the email receipts to prove it!) They are super quick a preparing food and all the workers have been friendly and attentive in my experience. This is not a place you go to for happy hour or to dine in with a group of friends. The seating arraignment would make that awkward at best. It's best for take out. I'm not the biggest fan of their chicken dishes, but the pork and vegetarian dishes are rock solid. There is plenty of competition in the neighborhood when it comes to Mexican food, but if you need something quick (rapido) and flavorful (sabroso) this is certainly a great option.

If you're craving an authentic Mexican meal, then look no further than Sidewalk Tacos! The food here is just amazing to say the least! I've tried the Carnitas Platter & it's simply delicious! The Braised Pork is well seasoned & cooked perfectly! It comes with yellow rice, beans, salad, pico de gallo & finished with sour cream on top! Portion is huge! It serves 2 people, if you wish to share! Carnitas Tacos are delicious as well! They're filled with lots of yummy pork, onions & cilantro on double corn tortillas! You get your money's worth at this place! I highly recommend this restaurant!

This place is my go-to spot for fast, inexpensive, delicious Mexican food. Highly recommend the Mexican platters, flautas, tacos and burritos.
