" Mexican Deli is a great value for money. The authentic tacos hit the spot, and the prices are very reasonable! A fantastic option for a quick meal. While the atmosphere is nothing fancy, it has a hometown vibe. I will be returning as I want to try more of their staple dishes! Can't get better than this! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I visited Mexican Deli, I had high expectations, and I’m glad to say they were met! The tamales were the best I’ve ever had in New York, genuinely fulfilling. While the seating space is quite cramped, you cannot beat the authenticity of the food. The staff were friendly and did their best to provide great service despite the pressure of the lunch crowd. Definitely a place I’d recommend to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Mexican Deli. The tacos I ordered were fantastic! However, I didn’t enjoy my chicken cutlet; it was dry and not flavorful at all. The service was decent, and the staff were friendly, but it felt like they were a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, I would come back for the tacos, but I might skip the other menu items next time. If you're a taco lover, don't miss out! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is great if you’re looking for late-night cravings. They are open 24 hours, and the staff is always friendly. I had the sausage, egg, and cheese hero recently, and it was incredibly filling. The prices are reasonable, making it a go-to spot for budget-friendly options. The atmosphere could be more welcoming, especially for new customers, but I appreciate the vibe of the regulars. I will certainly be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mexican Deli has become my go-to place for late-night snacks. The food is delicious and authentic—authentic tacos at any hour! I love their fresh guacamole, too! The only issue is that sometimes the staff can be a little distracted, but they're generally friendly. I do wish they had more seating for those busy nights, but the food is so worth it every time. This place has a vibe and energy that keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tamales rojos at this place are a must-try! It is amazing how they get the masa just right – seasoned perfectly! The ambiance is pretty basic, but it adds to the charm of this local spot. While the staff could be a bit more attentive, the food itself makes up for it. Affordable prices and generous portions, what more can you ask for? I’m already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Mexican Deli was overall pretty good! I was particularly impressed with the quality of their taco fillings. The staff were friendly and did their best to keep up with the orders, even during busy periods. While the atmosphere could be more inviting, the food certainly made up for it! Highly recommend their al pastor tacos! " (*Curated Review*)
