I would suggest this deli solely on the fact that they are open 24 hours and will cater to your late night needs. However, the regular clientele are not above asking why a "gringo" is in their presence. That aside, the staff continue to treat you fairly, but you may experience an atmosphere when the interaction makes you feel uncomfortable if you speak Spanish without the staff being aware. Pros: - terrific food at any time - basic medicine on the go - juice, basic snacks and goods, beer, etc.. Cons: - Don't sit down unless they know You personally OR You may be subject to the atmosphere speaking about you while you're sitting there as they assume you don't speak the language.
TAMALES ROJOS! The store looks old and definitely needs a renovation. Nonetheless the workers are all nice and will make you your breakfast there on the spot. This is my secret go to spot for red pork tamales/ tamales rojos! I’ve been looking for these tamales all over NYC. Most places only put the red sauce inside… no, no, no. These are the authentic kind where the corn flour (masa) is also seasoned not just the filling sauce and pork. Only $2 ! The best!
Excelente servicio, las tortas son deliciosas, como también los .
Great tacos and great price!
Best authentic tacos in NYC, beats any in Manhattan for sure
Comida de lengua de beef es muy buena
Best tacos I’ve had in the city. Open 24hrs too—the spicy pork (get the red salsa) or the chicken (get the green salsa) are my fave, yum
