"They provide an abundance of sauce on the side, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. The presentation is so neat and beautiful that I’ve never enjoyed a salad without meat like this before. Just imagine how excited I’ll be when I order again! This restaurant has become my new favorite spot. They are truly amazing! I ordered through UberEats, but I can only imagine how fantastic the experience would be in person. I LOVE THEM! The chain locations are consistently professional, provide quick service, and the food is always fresh. They pay attention to order notes, and it feels as though I'm dining right in the restaurant. It was impeccably clean, a true perfection! I am absolutely in love with this place! I will definitely be a lifelong customer. The staff is wonderful, and the food presentation is stunning. I appreciate how their culture and cuisine reflect such brilliance. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience with great service!"

"The food was average, but the guacamole didn't taste like it was made with avocado; the texture and flavor were strange. The elote just tasted like mayo. The delivery took an extra 45 minutes beyond the estimated time, and when it finally arrived, everything was completely cold. Overall, it was quite disappointing."

"Everything about this place is done right. A well maintained grocery store that leads to comfortable exclusive seating in front of a dining counter. The ladies behind the plastic veil of the counter conjure up some of the most remarkable homestyle food in all of Bushwick. It feels like you've entered someone's home and their grandma is whipping up lunch. I encourage you to try every protein option in every combination of medium available whether it be a taco or sopes or otherwise."

"The bakery side has a full menu for take out dining options. I ordered a breakfast bowl, but they gave me a regular burrito bowl instead... No complaints! Probably one of very few times in my life that I absolutely didn't mind the mix up. I was aiming for brunch, had to pivot because of the mix-up, and it was a delicious one. I've also had many different kinds of pastries from their large selection, amazing paired with your morning coffee. If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine with a great price point, try Mandato."

"I am always very happy to find Hispanic places in my county of the Bronx. This one, which I didn't know about, was a beautiful surprise because it is a very comfortable and familiar place. The patrons are very decent people and the service and food are delicious. Last night we shared for 4 hours on a birthday and the treatment, service and entertainment were very pleasant. I recommend it to everyone who, like me, likes Mexican food, a good beer and a good time in a decent place."

"This is hands down the best Mexican food you can find in town. The dishes are authentic, made to order fresh, and bursting with flavor. The panzita and consome de chivo are fantastic, and the picaditas and sopes are the best. The service is excellent. Although the place is small, it doesn't matter. Keep in mind that delivery orders may take some time, but it is definitely worth the wait."

"Came with my partner for lunch, on recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. we had the soup and laughter. Tasteful and beautiful presentation. The main was Tortellini and Lachs. Again delicious and looked great. Dessert was passion fruit cheesecake bar that was amazing!"

"9th Street Taqueria with friendly staff and owner. FYI: their English is light. There were a lot of plants and flowers around the 7 or 8 table spot, which were lovely. It was pretty cold in there. They were out of limes, so provided lemons. The cucumbers were unfortunately no good. The food was okay and came out hot. Tacos could have used more onion with all of the cilantro. Key needed for bathroom that the owner had to bring out from the back. It is a BYO and they have a cooler of juices and sodas. Will skip it for other options in the area next time."

"I had a small incident when my 8-year-old daughter accidentally bit her lip while riding her bike, and I'm not the best at managing meals during times like that. I contacted the restaurant for assistance, and they truly went above and beyond. My daughter absolutely loved the chicken quesadilla they provided. We really appreciate great flavors, and their food consistently surpasses our expectations! However, it was the kindness they showed when I requested something easy for her that truly made our evening memorable. I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share this experience!"

"I would advise against ordering takeout or using Uber Eats from this place. Honestly, it's best to avoid dining here altogether. The ají de gallina was more like a watery soup, and the chicken lacked flavor. Unfortunately, some family members experienced food poisoning from the ceviche and lomo saltado, resulting in vomiting. Don't waste your time here; instead, consider ordering from Embarcadero or Mr. Ceviche."

"This charming little deli specializes in Mexican cuisine and offers delicious, authentic dishes along with an impressive selection of beverages. The service is friendly and attentive. In addition to the dining area, they also have a small convenience store stocked with traditional Mexican items and foods. While there are seating options available, they can feel a bit cramped, and the television may be somewhat loud, which can detract from the dining experience if you choose to eat in. I recommend opting for takeout instead! The tacos are decent, the quesadillas are good, and the cemitas and tortas (Mexican sandwiches) are excellent. I’ve visited this place several times over the past decade, and the food has always been consistently good."

"I recently had a meal at this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options on the menu. The food was served quickly and in generous portions, and the service was efficient. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area. I can't comment on their delivery service, but I hope others have a wonderful experience with it."

"This isn't my first time visiting, and I've had issues with the cashier's attitude during my previous visits as well. When I asked for spicy food, she charged me an additional $2, and for two sodas, I was charged $6. She gave me a look that felt quite harsh. The restaurant should address the behavior of staff like this, as it reflects poorly on their reputation."
