Mexikosher

Great food very tasty!! I highly recommend !

Excellent food, the quality of meat paired with the variety of sauces and salads makes for an incredible meal. Highly recommend. Bon Appetite

Great take on tacos, burritos and bowls, they have fresh ingredients and the portions are big. This place is rather hidden and the sign is not very obvious. But it's well worth the trip of your coming from the Natural Science Museum.

I was visiting New York from Chicago and was on the hunt for some quick Kosher food to eat before I went to see a Broadway show. This place fit the bill. Food was ready fairly quickly and it was relatively affordable, depending on what you ordered. I found the tacos to be a good bang for your buck. The tacos were customizable and you are able to choose your sauce and toppings.

*For Graze Smokehouse* There is NO 16 hr juicy brisket ! The brisket (if it was even brisket) was tough as nails , unseasoned and no where near juicy ! The pastrami is deli meat slapped on the grill & the sausage was cooked in the fryer i would give this place a 0/10 cashier was nice but that’s about it , DO NOT BUY! NOT A REAL SMOKEHOUSE

I got the brisket and it was really dry and there was no gravy. Then I had the cedarhurst sandwich it was so old and stale. Would not recommend unfortunately. And there is only outdoor seating and you can see what they are putting in your sandwich

The food was delicious and not too bad in the price either. The place is small but clean and we'll kept. The people were very nice and they provided great and fast service.

I got the santa fe salad and it gave me food poisoning (but it did taste pretty good). Also it wasn’t clear at all that I was supposed to order on the tablet

This was a pretty average tasting fast casual burrito bowl place. It's about the same flavor and price as the major chains, so the main draw appears to be the Kosher food.

I'm actually surprised of how good this place was! The food tasted so delicious and fresh. It's literally a chipotle but better, fresher, and kosher! The local is pretty small but has everything it needs: a bathroom, tables and chairs to sit on, and most importantly the food. The staff there was so nice and friendly. The prices were great. I definitely recommend the burrito and the tacos! They were so yummy. The corn with spicy sauce that they put on top of the taco is a must have. I definitely recommend to all!

Before arriving here I kind of decided that this place would be one of two things - 1. absolutely amazing or 2. a complete waste of time and stomach space. I am so that that my experience here was the former and not the latter. I visited Mexikosher, without knowing anything about it's Top Chef history. I was coming from the gym and this was one of the few things that were open in the area around 10pm. The two workers were very nice and quite funny. I ordered the duck and pork rice bowl and was pleased with the outcome. Before ordering the dish, I thought this dish was too pricey. That idea changed when I saw the portions of the rice bowl. There definitely was enough food for two (maybe three) feedings. So, I will be back to try other items on the menu.

Wildly overpriced, bland, in-authentic kosher Mexican food. I came here with a group of 4, and we ordered vegan burritos, and a side of fries. I got the vegan salad, which came to $13. It was essentially a large handful of lettuce, tiny scoops of tasteless rice and beans, and some other vegetables on top. It was edible, but not tasty by any means. My friends described their $15 burritos as barely edible, and the portions tiny. The side of fries were overcooked and soaked in oil. I love French fries and could not eat these. Overall, the food was terrible, with the exception of a few of the sauces. The peanut and chipotle sauces were both very tasty; possibly the only redeeming quality of the experience. The service was okay-the cashier made a joke about us ordering vegan, which I didn't appreciate. This is not Mexican food, this is not good food, and this is not cheap food. I would not recommend Mexikosher to anyone, unless I strongly disliked them.

Let me start off by saying that we were starving when we got here. The highlight of my day was this mexican spot! The chicken the chef made today was some of the best fried chicken I have ever had! It was battered in jalepenos and had a super crunchy corn flake crust. I loved the pulled lamb and beef burrito it was loaded in flavor! The sauces here are great and spicy. You gotta try this spot!

Very small spot with limited seating but very tasty food. Quick service and they have everything marked that's gluten free. Do not get the French fries if you are gluten free. They are battered with flour. The chicken rice bowl was delicious and very filling.

So if you watched Top Chef Boston or "Chopped" - Chef Katsuji Tanabe is the celebrity chef that celebrates his Japanese and Mexican heritage. He has already opened his Mexi-Kosher restaurant in LA. So Katsuji is not Jewish! He just has a lot of respect for Judaism and the values. But on to the food - it's delish. This is no chipotle and it shows in the price too. Pros: Get the Lamb!!! Get the Carnitas!! Get the Hand cut Fries Cons: No a place to really sit in

I wanted to love it. It's kosher. It's fresh and finally authentic. But unfortunately it seems to have the same problems that plague so many kosher restaurants. I mean who on a Sunday at 5 pm does not have salad. We quite actually ordered everything on the menu and I thought the most impressive things were the sauces - packed with flavor. The meat was all a little dry but perhaps that is because we did takeout. The wings were cooked perfectly but there was nothing original or Mexican about them and I would have loved some fake ranch or something like that with them. Overall lots of room for improvement but it has potential

The menu is pretty limited and so is the seating. They only have bar stool seating against the restaurant's wall available. I ordered the rice bowl with chicken. I got to pick out vegetables to go with my order.Every vegetable was included except guacamole, which had an extra charge. They gave me a whole breast of chicken, which they sliced up. The portion size was good. But the food itself didn't taste that great. It was bland and didn't taste like Mexican food. I was disappointed by this experience because I was expecting Mexican spices and flavor. I paid $14.14 for the Rice Bowl with chicken.

Used to go here weekly when they were in LA. Great variety for kosher mexican food.

I love Mexican food and this is the good place if you are very hungry ! The portions are huge and the food is fresh and tasty. The Birria meat is my favorite but all of them are very good. I totally recommend this place

Star #1: The quality of the food has consistently been great. We've enjoyed the burrito and the nachos multiple times, and we've yet to be disappointed. Star #2: The quantity of the food is worth the slightly higher-than-normal price. A nachos meal, with all the toppings, could easily serve 4 'semi-hungry' people or 1 really, really hungry person. Star #3: The variety of toppings is a treat. Pickled Red Onions on my nachos? Yes please! Star #4: The variety of salsas/sauces is also commendable. Try the Bacon Chipotle. Just try it. Star #5: Lastly, the weekday hours is what makes this place feel like 'true New York'. If I want my 11PM Nachos on a Thursday night, they're open. Check weekend hours before you make plans.

Great food and great service! Highly recommend!! The carne asada burrito was amazing.

the birria is as close as mexican it can be! the guac just needs a bit more salt and lime. Asada is fine. Limited spacing. Good place to grab a quick ta bite.

Unreliable, accepts orders for delivery then never shows up and doesn't answer the phone

Very small spot with limited seating that does the job if you're looking for kosher Mexican food. A friend and I came here and while the food wasn't terrible, it wasn't the best Mexican food I've ever had. It was also probably a bit on the pricy side. Overall, it was fine, but I'd probably skip it next time if I was in the area again.

Great spot for a filling meal with real food and great flavors. I ordered the taco carnitas which comes with 3 soft corn tacos filled with a mixture of duck and beef and personalized toppings and sauces. It also came with a side of rice and refried beans which tasted amazing too. I came hungry and left so full and I didn't even finish everything I got! My husband got a rice bowl with biria (beef and lamb) in a 9 inch circle aluminum pan and also chose the toppings (salads) and sauces. He couldn't finish his bowl either! "Toppings" include pico de gallo, pickled carrots, pickled beets, a chimichuri like topping, onions, corn salad, various veggies and more. The sauces are incredible too and include chipotle, "bacon" bbq, mango habanero, tomatillo, and more. Heads up, they're all on the spicy side but so good. The vibes are relaxed, casual and the servers are so helpful and warm! We'll definitely return soon!

Amazing!!!! This was awesome and I i didn't even miss the dairy!! I can't wait to go back and get the been/veggie burrito! You guys rock!!!

Great for kosher meat! Had the carnitas on tacos with guacamole and the grilled chicken burrito. The chicken burrito was good and the tacos were great! Just be careful with the sauces, they are all spicy and if you are not used to it they can ruin your meal. Not good for groups. Maximum two people if you want to find seats and be comfortable. 4 stars because prices are high for the ambiance of the restaurant. Two people (with soft drinks) 43 dollars. But comparing to other meat kosher, is not so terrible.

I ordered takeout here and I must say, I'm very disappointed. I ordered a rice bowl and it was so salty, that I felt myself developing kidney stones with every bite. In addition, the chicken was dry and the guacamole was liquidy with an overwhelming lemony flavor. I've ordered here a couple times before and wasn't this disappointed. However, what I ate isn't even advertised on the menu. It's schnitzel with jalapeños and it's absolutely delicious. I think they should highlight it as their signature dish, because the burritos and bowls are not my taste.

I love this new addition to the upper west side! I got the vegetarian platter, which I found to be super filling and fully of flavor. The rice is warm and fluffy, the vegetables are very well seasoned! Not only is it more authentic than Chipotle's vegetarian bowls, it tastes a lot better and is Kosher!!! My dad is a huge fan of their flame-grilled burgers, and my whole family loves their salsa and guacamole.

This is less "kosher Mexican" than "Mexican that happens to be kosher." It's very good, and feels fresh and even gourmet, but expensive -- eg the cheapest tacos on the menu, chicken, are $13 for 3. If you go, try the salsas. All of the salsas. They are exceptional. The fellow behind the counter, when I was there, had good pairing recommendations, but I ended up trying just about every salsa indepedently. The fermented chili sauce tastes *green*. For fillings, the chicken was fine, but the birria (a mix of braised lamb and beef) was very good, and the daily special--lightly-fried fish--was superlative, with all of the flavors and the textures--crunch and goo, sweet and savory, fresh and fried--all mixed up in there in harmony. Note, it's a tiny place, and kosher-keeping diners seem to be flocking here, maybe to try something different, so there are lines at peak times. There's a fun history to the place too. Read up on the the chef, Katsuji Tanabe, on the shop's walls. A Japanese-Mexican chef who started a kosher taco shop in L.A. Love it.

The wings were delicious and had a good amount of spice. I got the carne asada tacos they were delicious. Fairly priced for kosher food. Authentic Mexican

It says it offers delivery: false. So I called them for pickup: all I get is an answering machine mind it is currently business hours. Called 20x for the last 2 hours on their 2 phone lines, and left 2 voice messages: nothing. - So I recommend them start acting as a functional business.

Best Kosher place in NYC!!! Fresh and tasty food, large selection, great stuff!!! Highly recommended if you around!!! I will definitely come back!

The cornflake chicken tenders are amazing and I always get a salad bowl with all the fixings. They have a Carlos and Gabby's pop up shop now, I've ordered from them also. Highly recommend the brisket, burnt ends, and cauliflower poppers.

My friends and I have been waiting forever for a kosher Mexican restaurant that isn't Carlos and Gabby's (yuck). Literally the other day we were saying, wouldn't it be amazing if we could get authentic Mexican? Then we LOLd about how it would never happen. Well, it happened. (Next up, can someone please open an authentic Thai kosher place?). As far as kosher food, this is authentic as Mexican is gonna get. Having not always kept kosher, I am well versed in the real Mexican food world (see my review of all of the tacos trucks, ever). I love me a good taco, and since going kosher I can't say I'm upset that the amazing burrito place down the street closed (sorry, that's so selfish...), because I probably would have been sneaking in there. Anyway... We went to Mexikosher last night and ordered the birria burrito and the chips and guac. My husband and I shared the aforementioned items, and when we asked the counter guy if he thought the chips and guac would be enough for two people or if we should order two, he said "I never share with my wife." HA. Well, we share, guy... so we ordered one order, which was perfectly enough for two people with the burrito. While our burrito was delicious, we did think it was on the small side, which is unfortunate when your burrito is $17 (however, it should be noted that for kosher meat this is not entirely unfounded - on the other hand, the same burrito is $12 in LA, so clearly it's partly Manhattan up-pricing, grr). Others have noted that there is absolutely not room in this busy joint, and it's true. We took our food to the nearby park outside the Museum of Natural history - and noted several guys in kippas doing the same. It would be great if they could expand so there is a reasonable amount of seating. Would I come here again? Sure - but not unless someone invited me for a special occasion or something. While I am proud of myself for riding my bike from BedStuy to the UWS to pre-empt my Mexican food consumption, spending $17 on a burrito is not something I plan to do regularly. However, big ups for chef Katsuji and his crew - we really needed this option (oh and all the Jewish moms fawning over him is priceless, ha). Mexikosher!

How this qualifies as Mexican food is beyond me. Intensely spiced pickled vegetables, flavorless salsas, and dry pico de gallo, all at Upper West Side prices. The tortilla chips are nicely salted, I'll give them that. But I blew $14 away to get nachos, not just a good handful of tortilla chips.

I ordered a chicken burrito, gf got the veggie. The menu says veggie comes with "all our vegetables" which apparently means only rice and beans. The toppings were unevenly cut and looked like they had been sitting for a while. Dude rolling the burrito clearly doesn't know what a burrito is; he was making squares! It was like someone told him about burritos but never even showed him a picture. So let's summarize: misleading menu description; nasty toppings; poorly rolled. I truly feel sorry for you if you think this is representative of decent food.

I had the carne asada tacos and BBQ wings last week. Stopped in and there was a short line. The meat was cooked on the grill as I waited and the line guys were helpful but a bit short on time. The prices for most everything are higher than other fast casual spots, and the ingredients seem better than most. They seem understaffed but the manager /head cook was very personable and like his owner, enjoys the public. Overall its not for everyday but its a tasty treat and i did not leave hungry

What a find in the UWS! Line is out the door every night! Delicious and fresh mexican prepared right in front of you. I went by to grab lunch and tried the lamb and beef barria salad - yummy! They also gave me a complimentary fish taco to try - light and crispy batter, just perfect. The staff are really friendly too. Can't wait to try more options on the menu!

Not bad at all. Tasty food and reasonable prices. I had taquitos and my parents got beef nachos- they loved it! Will definitely come back again. My only complaint is that it took a little while to get my food.

Four stars for essentially a toco stand. Just terrific. Well, full disclosure: we only had the fried chicken chipotle sandwich but I vacuumed it up and literally had a fight with my wife over the scraps ("Don't order me anything. I'm not hungry"). So basically, this guy Needs a real restaurant. He misses a star because there is no where to sit. This place is worthy of a sit down, particularly because the UWS is very orthodox (I'm not, but Jewish) and the market is there. Regardless, it's better than most around. Go,

I just tried this restaurant for the first time today. And I went there to eat my lunch. Food it's amazing and very flavorful. I ordered the special dish called chipotle chicken torta it was really amazing . Love the food and the service it's great 5 highly recommend and I'll go back very often to this place ...

I asked if there were nuts in any of the foods because I have a severe nut allergy. The chef was extremely rude and told me I should not eat here it at ANY restaurant EVER. He made me feel terrible about myself. The owner of this establishment should be ashamed.

I didn't know what to expect from Mexikosher now that it seems to be three (four?) separate restaurants in one. I must say I was pleasantly surprised enough to write this review. I ordered the family meal from Rosa's and the duo platter from Graze. I think you'd probably need 3-4 sides for the family meal to really feed a family, but $31 for a whole kosher chicken and two sides seems like a deal to me. And it was delicious. The duo platter from Graze was pricier and smaller, and it would be a stretch for it to feed two people. But, nevertheless, it was superb. The pickles were maybe the best pickles I've ever had in my life, and I've had a lot of pickles. I can't believe I hadn't tried this restaurant before - and they delivered super quickly! PLEASE order from here so we can continue to have good, reasonably priced kosher food on the UWS.

This spot seemed decent online however, when we opened up the rice each and every container contained little hair pieces seemed like men hair. One of them contained a long piece. After witnessing so many pieces of hair we had to throw out 80% of the food. We did contact them but it all went unnoticed. Please check for hair pieces. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Our office is strictly kosher, so we use restaurant semi annually for our showroom meetings. So good, the boss questioned twice in a row if it was "kosher," and how do I know. I haven't been inside the restaurant but I can vouch for their catering. This time we were slipped (maybe by accident) some beets and carrots. I'm not sure how it relates to Mexican food, but they were interesting. Almost tasted pickled with cinnamon maybe? Guacamole is on point and amazing!!! 4 stars because I haven't been inside and the guacamole had stem pieces which isn't fun to surprisingly chew on.

Finally got chance to order in after stopping by to check it out. All around good experience. Very prompt delivery from Seamless & incredibly tasty food. Cons are they forgot extra sauces., no veggie mains & few veggies sides. A little something extra would be nice like chips & salsa complimentary samples. Also don't recommend salad option for main. Go with rice or you will be hungry

Blown away. One of the best burritos I've ever had. Anywhere. Great staff too. The carnitas was tender and juicy. The sauces options were generous, spicy and appreciated.

I really want to like Mexikosher, but I am left with mixed feelings. When I have eaten here, service has been slow and inattentive, particularly when it was not busy. The prices are high, which is logical given that it is kosher, but having everything premade doesn't feel quite right for the price. I have found their meats to be a little too salty and texture has been hit or miss. That said, portion size is good, and the sauces are yummy.

From a NYC foodie that enjoys Michelin meals -- this place is underrated! Incredible food and quality meats. Very unique. 5 stars

I wanted to love this place. I really did. I schlepped my family from the UES just to try it since I'm such a big Top Chef fan. I have to say, the food was yummy but both my husband and I left with the impression that we would not be back. First of all - it's small. The ambiance of the dine-in scene gives the impression of quick, casual food. That's fine except the prices really don't live up to that. Spending that much, I want to relax at a table and not be crammed against a wall at a barstool. Maybe they want you to take it out but then it still seems overpriced. Food aside, a CAN of soda that you fetch out of the fridge yourself is $2.50. We ordered the carne asada nachos. The meat was delicious but you don't get very much of it and it goes fast. We ended up feeling like we paid for a giant bowl of chips. The sauces are good and creative, I recommend trying them all. The guacamole is surprisingly underwhelming, both texture and taste. We were also a bit put off by the service. There was no one in line ahead of us or behind us while we ordered but the employee behind the counter seemed annoyed that we were taking our time deciding what we wanted. There seemed to be a few food items on display that must have been off menu (daily specials?) but he was definitely annoyed when we asked about them "That's a burger...." No elaboration. My husband asked for his opinion on a menu item and that also seemed to irk him. On top of that, we had a baby with us and asked for a cup of tap water so we could mix her formula and were told we had to get it out of the bathroom sink. I think I would have preferred if he had just said "I can't give you any, sorry". Overall, I would sum it up as overpriced with an atmosphere and staff that don't make you feel any better about what you're paying. The food is good but probably not good enough for me to put up with the rest of it and return.

Great food and even better staff. They are kind and understanding and always treat thier customers with the highest level of professionalism.

this place is not great. dry flavorless overpriced carne asada tacos. the veggie tacos are completely uninspired. just beans and rice. the toppings and the salsas are pretty good, but it just doesn't live up to the price. take your money elsewhere.

For a Top Chef you need to step it up Katsuji. I specifically went to your restaurant on the UWS to check out your food and vibe. Being a foodie geek and a cooking show follower, I expected to see more. Try harder bro. Embrace your foodie friends.

My first time coming to this restaurant in queens Extremely rude staff! I came 11:57am and they told me they open at 12pm and couldn't even let me inside to wait. When they finally let me in at 12pm I was ready to order but they told me that they aren't ready in an extremely rude tone and when I asked ok in how long will you be ready and they answered me "whenever we are ready you'll know" that was already a third strike within 5 minutes! Never have I tried this place and most likely never will. This is for the location on Main Street, queens

At first I thought I liked this place cuz it reminded me of Chipotle. It's a similar concept where you choose your ingredients and it's fast food. But the food was very greasy! The next day my stomach didn't feel well at all and it's definitely from what I ate there. Will never go back!

I was really happy my boyfriend and I popped in here. It's small and unassuming, but once you walk in, you'll find surprisingly large portions and a helpful staff. I got a chicken burrito, which was great; I came in starving but could barely finish this thing. I asked for extra rice and beans and it was no problem at all (sometimes restaurants try to charge extra). The toppings are more unique than the standard Mexican fare, so you can add things like beets or pickled onions. Great for my burrito, but not so much for my boyfriend's nachos - nachos just don't work so well when they're not dripping in cheese. Still, it's a great addition to the kosher food scene. I wish it were a little bigger because as it stands, it'd be hard to fit a huge dinner crowd, but for the purpose of a 10pm hunger craving, it was the perfect solution.
