Both my sister and I ate at el centro on January 19th. We had the nachos with chicken as well as chips and salads and soup. The food was like warm and didn’t taste great but we hadn’t eaten all day and ate it anyway. We wish we didn’t. less than 10 hours later we both became violently ill. She began throwing up and then about an hour later I did. We weren’t even in the same home at the time. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. Both of us had food poisoning from this place for at least 24 hours. My advice: :DO NOT eat here. It’s absolutely hands down filthy and you may get food poisoning like we did. RUN far away. There are tons of other Mexican options in the area.

$9 happy hour margaritas. The margaritas are good, not great, but still good. Sign me up and the chips and salsa are good too.

This is my vegetarian girlfriend’s favorite Mexican restaurant. We come here often, and the chips and guacamole are very good. Nothing in particular stands out, but I did recently order the birria tacos (special) and it was pretty good flavor wise. However, the tortillas were not crispy as you’d usually expect for birria tacos. Overall, great spot and great service

Highly recommend small Mexican restaurant in NY. Jackie, Rick and Carlos are the best and they make best the dining experience.

Fajitas and chilaquiles were excellent. The carnitas burrito wasn’t great. Chips were excellent, salsa was okay. Service was excellent with an awesome ambient.

Ristorante messicano vicino a Times Square. Locale pulito, personale di origine guatemalteca molto gentile e accogliente. I tavolini presentano belle ceramiche con immagini artistiche messicane. Cibo tipico messicano buono e ben presentato.
