"There are very few times of day we would say no to a handmade tortilla wrapped around a fistful of meat and cheese, and thanks to this Mexican street food joint in East Harlem, we’ll never need to. Quesadillas Doña Maty is open 24 hours, and you’ll see people come through at all times for to-go orders of tacos, gorditas, and unpressed quesadillas that look more like extra long tacos. On weeknights, this colorful little love shack is a peaceful place to eat tacos and stare at the TV after a late shift. But on weekends, all bets are off. At peak post-bar hours, it’s everyone’s first pit-stop before the walk home. They also have a second location on 110th that closes at 10pm." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah

"Doña Maty is our favorite late-night option in the neighborhood. Open 24 hours, this Mexican spot is known for their quesadillas: six-inch, handmade tortillas with lightly charred edges, folded over lettuce, crema, cotija, and a fistful of fillings like tinga de pollo or bistec con papas. At $9, one is a satisfying snack, but adding a $5 salsa picada will make it a meal. The nautical-themed room has potted ferns and decorative hulls on the wall, and on weeknights, it’s a peaceful place to eat tacos and stare at the TV after a late shift. But on weekends, all bets are off. At peak post-bar hours, it’s everyone’s first pit stop before the walk home. They also have a second location on East 110th that closes at 10pm." - neha talreja, sonal shah, hannah albertine

"4am is still a scene somewhere. If you need a giant parcel of meat and cheese after a bar crawl or late shift in East Harlem (of course you do), go to Quesadillas Doña Maty on 116th Street. It’s open 24 hours, and you’ll see people come through at all times for to-go orders. The nautical-themed room has potted ferns and decorative hulls on the wall, and on weeknights, it’s a peaceful place to eat tacos and stare at the TV after a late shift. But on weekends, all bets are off. At peak post-bar hours, it’s everyone’s first pit stop before the walk home. (They also have a second location on 110th that closes at 10pm.) Their signature quesadillas are about six inches wide, with lightly charred edges and a fistful of meat inside. Instead of pressing it tightly closed, the handmade tortillas are gently folded over to make something more like a giant taco. Don’t pick it up like one though—these are best eaten with a fork and knife, so you don’t spill tinga de pollo or bistec con papas covered in salsa verde on your lap. At $9, one is a satisfying snack, but adding a $5 salsa picada will make it a meal. photo credit: Alex Staniloff photo credit: Alex Staniloff photo credit: Alex Staniloff" - Neha Talreja

This place is like a little slice of Mexico right here in New York City. The food is fantastic and well worth the price. The atmosphere perfectly complements the decor, creating a very warm and welcoming vibe. I especially love their quesadillas (you can add your choice of meat) - they are absolutely delicious. And don't miss out on their agua fresca, it's a great addition to the meal. If you're in Spanish Harlem, make sure to stop by and treat yourself to some delicious tacos or quesadillas.

The cashier didn’t speak English (or understand my Spanish). I had an American soft Tacos, $10 Chalupa (it was basically a soft taco with cheese and chicken - this was overpriced), and Jarritos ($3). Quite price (over $25).

It is a small neighborhood location, but it utilized it space well. I had take out and the food was good. Service was quick and very pleasant. Will return to have a sit-down meal.

Delicious tacos. Al pastor were my favorite. $10 for 3 tacos Tuesday-Thursday, $4/taco every other day. Will be back to try the quesadilla. Can skip the gordita.

The food was tasteless including the carnitas quesadilla and the chicharrón gordita, otherwise the huarache was ok, the meat portions are small although the Agua Fresca was good, I don’t recommend this place ;)

Went to a concert and we were looking for a good spot to eat,my cousin recommended this quesadilla place. First time coming to this place. Interior is nothing impressive actually is pretty small I can see it being busy because small entrance . Menu very simple with great options which I think is fantastic , most Mexican restaurants have pamphlets of food options and can be confusing but this place keeps it simple and to the point. They say they hand make the quesadillas which all restaurant should make them handmade but that’s a different story. The ordering process very simple to the point and they bring your order to the table in the next room. The flavors was very delicious food was excellent reminds me of a old taco stand in Mexico with their colorful plastic plates and their spicy hot sauce. And was also great is that this place closes at four in the morning so when I showed up at 2:30am close to 3, I was able to still enjoy late night food. I highly recommend eating your food in the place on the spot tortillas can get soggy or even hard if you wait too long to eat them. I highly recommend if you are in the area for a traditional quesadillas or a taco. As I seen other photos the prices have risen so I uploaded a updated menu .

For a late night Mexican snack, head over to this place. The lady is very patient and serves food with love. Where else do you find a $3 taco with such great sauces on the side. I had 4 of them and I was full after that. I didn't care much about the cleanliness or hygiene in the sitting area as she does everything alone. My gf ordered enchiladas and they were great too!

Very well decorated small place. Can tell a lot of care and love went into it. Nice, diverse quesadilla and Mexican soft drink menu. Perfect for lunch!

My cousin had recommended this spot since I was craving some tacos, and I thought it was such a cute place! Unfortunately, some of the menu items I had wanted were out, so I got their lengua taco, steak, and a tostada con carne. I enjoyed all of these and the staff was very warm and kind. Next time, I will have to try more of their items including their quesadillas but no complaints for my first visit here!

Very quick and fast service! One of the best and most authentic quesadilla places in Spanish Harlem with the CUTEST storefront and outdoor seating. Don't sleep on their tacos either! If you're adventurous (or vegetarian) try the huitlacoche --it's a delicacy! It brings a really nice savory/earthy flavor and pairs so well with the melty cheese and corn.

Great vibes, a vibrant atmosphere and delicious traditional Mexican food! Quesadillas Doña Maty has everything you could hope for and more from a Mexican eatery. The food is freshly made and the staff is warm, sociable and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

During our visit to New York friends told us we had to check out this place and I'll tell you it didn't disappoint. I completely understand why they've been in the neighborhood for so long. Amazing food and awesome service made this a highlight of our trip to New York! Next time we come back this will be on our to do list for sure...

Never again It's not about what's missing as my friends hate cilantro and raw onions (latinas so hush) and salsa on side because every single joint makes salsa verde completely different Ok The left big amount of grilled steak is from TACO MIX . I never had an issue there!!! The right is from the place Quesadillas Dona Maty Not my first time but it is my last. They always have extremely slow service (ALWAYS) and look at this portion it's less then half from taco mix. I also refused the chicken tacos I ordered as they were cubes of dried overcooked (pre cooked) chicken breast. I'm not serving that to my friends and they gave me a refund. Luckily I was a few feet away from Taco mix where I already ordered Tacos Carnitas and Tacos Orejas. I just had to order steak to replace the chicken Not sorry I won't be back. 116th street fyi #NYC #tacos #Harlem

Had three tacos--pollo, al pastor, carnitas. The Al pastor was a bit dry and chewy. Carnitas was good, and pollo was somewhere in between. Service was fine for take out.

Just left this place in tears and humiliated. I came here to get a quick bite before attending a funeral. I went and took a 10cent cup and the cashier came storming to my table and yelled at me for taking the cup. Please save your money and go where your business is appreciated.

Me gusta el nuevo local mejor que el anterior, ahora está cerca de la estación de tren en la 116 cerca de Lexington. El interior se ve muy lindo con los colores brillantes, arte artesanaly flores. Se siente como si estas en un patio. Ordene la quesadilla de huitaloche y estaba muy rica, traía bastante queso. Las quesadillas de acá son más tradicionales y no lucen muy lindas pero el contenido es muy bueno. Tienen una buena variedad de carnes y vegetales para el relleno.

Till this day I love doña Maty !! Cecina is my favorite which is salted meat. But stay wary it might be sold out! But today it wasn't lol. 3:10 am busy as it should be. Way better then mud butt taco mix. Anyways always been coming here and always willl. Your forever my favorite taco spot

The Quesadillas are really good and love that they are open 24hrs but i really am upset at how they have decreased the amount of lettuce, cheese, sour cream etc. They are cutting back on less stuff to add to your tacos and quesadillas making it not taste as good as it use too. Great food but this is also a reason why customers start to think twice about ordering from here again. Q

Martin B.

Yelp
As a neighbor both living and working nearby, I've walked by this place a lot. Ive only bought food at this location like once or twice and their new location near Lexington once. Their creativity shows in how they decorate. It catches your eye. I personally don't really like to shop for Mexican food since I'm Mexican myself and literally eat this type of food everyday. Although I can't remember what I had at this location (it was probably a quesadilla like five to ten years ago), I visited their newest location on Lexington and was sort of underwhelmed by the food. I decided to order a Tlacoyo, a Chile Relleno taco, and a Gordita. Yeah I eat a lot. The gordita I ordered was of chicharron (fried pork). The only upside of the gordita was its size and the fact that they have epazote mixed in, a nice addition to the gordita. It was completely cut in half through the middle so it looked more like an arepa. It's usually cut in half through the middle but only half of the gordita. That's so it can be stuffed inside with lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheese and be able to hold all of these contents without falling apart. It's also easier to hold that way and eat. But since it was cut completely down the middle, it mostly felt apart as I tried holding it. I was also disappointed with the texture of the gordita. It felt old. That's usually noticeable when the masa is already cooked and reheated. The tlacoyo/huarache I was given was definitely NOT a tlacoyo. If you don't know what that is, it's a thick patty made of the same masa (dough) that's used for the tortillas and stuffed with dried beans. Once cooked, it's served with toppings, usually lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, cotija cheese, and meat if you order it. I ordered it with steak and when I opened it up at home, I was confused as to whether I ordered a tlacoyo or quesadilla or if they mixed up my order. They gave me an opened up tortilla (the ones made for quesadillas) and served it flat with beans (not dried) and all of the toppings I mentioned earlier. It looked more like a giant taco that had its contents already picked out and I was getting leftovers. That was rather disappointing. Lastly, the Chile relleno (Stuffed pepper) taco was alright. It was probably the best thing I ordered. The tortilla was hand made and served with rice (but no jalapeños which should've been added since it's advertised as "Taco Placeros" which includes both rice and jalapeños). The pepper was large and stuffed with frying cheese (queso de frier) so the texture is a bit stiff and rubbery. It was a tad spicy, which I don't mind. The pepper was also left with the top part that included the stem. I've definitely had it without so I thought that was rather lazy. Their places are definitely aesthetically pleasing. But so are many other places and I wouldn't come here just for that alone. I've read other comments praising the place for hand made tortillas but there are other places nearby that also make and serve hand made tortillas so that's not really unique. Budget wise, it can be worked with for some. I think the cheapest thing on the menu was $4 (can't remember the menu). The three things I ordered came out to around $27. I wouldn't really recommend the place but that's because when I want to go out and eat, I never stay in my neighborhood. For me, this is just a quick bite to eat and sadly was a tad disappointed.

The good: Quesadillas were authentic and very tasty. Carne enchilada and Chicken Tinga both good options. Really nice people. Not as good: Taco de Huevo wasn't for me (they serve the egg hard boiled). Overall: Solid spot for authentic Mexican food in East Harlem. Would recommend

Holly C.

Yelp
Just got all the way home from ordering takeout to find out they gave me the wrong order. I order a steak and chicken quesadilla and they gave me 2 nasty soggy mushroom quesadillas. I'm am so upset. I called many times and no one is answering the phone. They are so lucky I don't live close enough to go back there right now. A waste of 16$

DC S.

Yelp
Very good quesadillas, which for these Southern Californias were more like large semi-crispy corn tortilla tacos than the soft flour tortilla quesadillas we are accustomed to eating. We had the pollo asada and carnitas quesadillas and they were delicious. The salsas have a nice amount of heat, depending on your personal heat index strongly suggest you dip a finger and taste before pouring on your quesadilla. Quesadillas Dona Maty is a definite stop in the future when we visit our daughter.

PLEASE If you don't speak Spanish don't bother to buy anything from here nobody knows English at all but still changes you for whatever they think you Order It really sucks $50 down the drain I'm so disgusted

Pipoca C.

Yelp
I'm torn about this place. On the one hand, I like to support food cart and hole in the wall spots. On the other hand, I've never had a good quesadilla that had lettuce, and quesadillas are my go-to dish when judging taquerias and other Mexican food places. Everywhere I've seen lettuce in a quesadilla, it's usually a filler that shortchanges you on the carne and queso blanco. In this case, the meat here was just ok, but the lettuce really took the whole thing down a notch

Samantha G.

The cashier was a little rude , also the place doesn't look very clean, there was a guy at the end who was more attentive I think he's the owner ..

This place makes THE best quesadillas I've ever tasted - the service is quick and the quality is out of this world. If you're ever in East Harlem you need to stop by this place and get yourself some food. The place is small, basically a hole in the wall with two precious ladies in the back working over that grill (god bless them). There are 4/5 small tables outside for you to sit and eat (or just wait for your order). I highly recommend the tinga de pollo quesadilla, but I must warn you, it's outrageously addictive. I once ordered one a day for 3 days straight.

Came across this place as I was stumbling back drunk from Lion Lion bar down the street. It was a little past 2 am and it was packed outside with people waiting for food. I knew the food had to be good if so many people were waiting in the early morning hours. I was wrong: the food was AMAZING. One of the customers recommended the Gordita and the security recommended the tinga pollo quesadilla. So I obviously had to try both. Absolutely loved, loved the Gordita. Crispy yet soft with a delicious kick. Goes especially well with the hot sauces. The quesadilla was great but not as finger licking delicious as the Gordita. I even came back the next night not drunk to make sure that my drunkenness hadn't fooled me into thinking the food was good and it was still wonderful. It is cash only. There are normally two very sweet women making the food on the grill outside and there are tables and chairs inside to enjoy the food. Small place...not more than 5 tables. Prices are very good for the quality of food you are getting! Well worth a visit!!

Was in the area and was craving Mexican. This place looked super interesting and welcoming. My awkward self stumbled in and stared blankly at the menu. The lady out front walked me through how they do things here and was super sweet. I got a chicken quesadilla and decided to eat in the back. Chicken quesadilla is delicious as expected. Extremely spicy since I was very generous w the hot sauce. Yeah it's a bit questionable but totally homey inside. I dig the vibe. Pretty sure it's a family business which I respect There has yet to be a rat sighting.

I Just waited like a dummy for 30 minutes and watched others who ordered after me get their food. Overpriced tacos. Not good at all from my previous experiences.

Yelp
Value: 6/10 Experience: 7/10 Taste: 5/10 I paid $5 for a chicharron quesadilla. It was definitely on the small side but my biggest gripe was that the chicharron had no tasted and had the texture of a soggy sponge. We needed the sauce to give the food flavor as well.

Uptown baby we gets down baby! More so in East Harlem where this little lady with big flava are slinging tacos, quesadillas and huaraches all day and night like nobody's biznass! Chicken tinga huarache was my go to at QDM! With these huaraches, the large corn tortilla was nicely charred til it was crispy and served open-faced. It was a little tricky cutting into the crisp tortilla because meat and fats squeezed out from the edges, but once I took one bite it was sexy time flashbacks at a taqueria in the SF's Mission District. The chicken tinga had a nice amount of shredded chicken inside and was quite spicy, creamy, cheesy. Oh and that heat helped warm up my body pillows since it was colder than a polar bear sleeping in a freezer while we were getting our huarache on! Grab a bunch of wipes and pop a squat dining on the benches next to QDM and go to town with authentic yumminess! An absolute without a doubt 5 star gem in East Harlem! And you can't beat that with a bat!

I usually never do bad reviews but this is just shocking! I always come here and have never came across anything like this. Absolutely horrifying please stay away or you guys can get really sick. Huge rats running through my feet while I was eating. I tried to address the problem and was told that the owner won't do anything about it. Not 1 or 2 but more than 3 big rats running around and into the kitchen! Wish I could give 0 stars.

Ricardo S.

Yelp
Sorry. Ive been living in East Harlem for 20 years now and I just had the worst Mexican food ever. My wife and i waited 30 minutes for 2 quesadillas for takeout and when we got home and saw the food i almost threw it out the window. They both looked so mediocre. I ordered chorizo and my wife order carnitas. They both were just chunks of pork fat. It was so bad i couldn't finish it and tossed it out. Never ever again. Doña Maty your a disappointment !!!

Hiba A.

Yelp
Still really awesome! Prices are fantastic. Service is kind and quick, and the food is made fresh when you order. I don't even drink coffee, but I had to try the cafe de olla. It was very tasty coffee! I am taking one star of because I got a torta and it was just missing the magic. I'm not sure what happened, maybe it was an off day, but I couldn't finish the torta. I would still come back for some authentic, cheap quesadillas though.

Estephania S.

Best quesadillas Ive had in NYC its open 24/7, so if your job has odd hours thats the place to go eat!

Emily S.

Yelp
Pretty solid quesadillas!!!! I ordered the chicken quesadilla, which cost $5.00. The cook, also runs the restaurant and does her magic upfront (curbside). I stepped in and felt like I I was back in Mexico on vacation except I could feel the slight chill coming through the front door (back to reality). The space is nicely decorated. The quesadilla tasted like authentic Mexican quesadilla which is a plus. The pepper sauce is so delicious, but warning if you have low spice tolerance stand clear you will feel the burn. Altogether this place is a great cheap eat with delicious flavors served with charm.

Damaris F.

Yelp
*CASH ONLY* So the food was great, however, the carnitas here are the best ive had in awhile. So do yourself a favor and order carnitas tacos or whatever else makes you happy. Youll be glad you did

Isabel H.

Yelp
Primera vez que voy a este lugar y muy emocionada pedí unos tacos de pollo y una quesadilla de flor de calabaza. Los tacos estaban bien y no tan caros pero la quesadilla fue una terrible decepción, tenía casi pura lechuga y sólo un pedacito de queso y flor de calabaza. Con todo respeto pero cobrar $9 que es el mismo precio de las demás opciones con carne y otros ingredientes por una quesadilla tan pobre como la que me dieron, es un robo! Yo no pagaría más de $5 y si no le quieren poner mas queso y flor de calabaza, bajen su precio porque no es justo. El servicio y calidad deben mejorar para que los clientes regresen queridos compatriotas.

Guillermo M.

Yelp
Very authentic Mexican street food. The quesadillas have more meat than cheese in them and are delicious. I had the Tinga (chicken) Quesadilla at Doña Maty's (the owner/cook) suggestion and it was amazing. To the left of the entrance you can see the jugs of freshly made horchata and pineapple and papaya drinks (with the fresh fruits floating in them).

Avery G.

Yelp
This is a fantastic hidden gem in east Harlem. Walking down the street my father and I had initially passed it, as it is buried in the middle of other small businesses in a neighbourhood that is buzzing with people and charm. As a small lunch or dinner I would 100% recommend stopping by. As a hungry young man, I had to eat 2 of their quesadillas to get full, but that's coming from a person who eats more than most would. Even with eating 2 meals, it was still cheaper than most alternatives. And it was nice to see that the food quality was not sacrificed by the low price. This was some of the best Mexican food I've had and I'm sure to stop by again!

Abdalla A.

Yelp
Tried this place for dinner during the week with a friend. You can sit and eat inside or order and eat at home, the kitchen is outside the restaurant which is weird but adds a feel of "street food." My friend ordered the tacos and they were alright, I ordered the Chicken Torta and it was delicious! Overall this place is good for cheap Mexican food.

Emily G.

Delicious quesadillas!!! Super cute outdoor seating, everyone friendly!!! I will return for more!

Quesadillas Doña Maty has tasty quesadillas but are about one notch too salty on the seasoning scale. I've only gotten take-out from here, the workers are really nice and thorough. But ultimately the over-salting has deterred me from coming back.

J R.

Yelp
Yep this place is good. Gene and family have made a great soace. Highly recommend stopping by- their quesadillas are the best - homemade tortillas. Good food and good price.

Lena O.

Yelp
Grabbed a chorizo quesadilla from here today (because Taco Mix is closed and has a health department notice on the door) and have to say, I'm a bit disappointed. The tortilla was cardboardy--stiff and flavorless. The quesadilla was mostly filled with potatoes, which came as a weird surprise. I like potatoes but wasn't in the mood for them in this particular meal. It didn't really have much of any sort of flavor, and it wasn't very big for $6. I asked for lettuce and sour cream, and it was added inside the quesadilla rather than outside. Overall, I might go back here in a pinch, but I'm not excited about it.

Rachael B.

Yelp
This spot was recommended for its quesadillas. I ordered the mushroom quesadilla at it was incredible. I shared with a friend and we didn't have anything I wouldn't order again. I'd describe it as hole in the wall but I also visited one evening before curfew started during the pandemic so I can't say much for the atmosphere of the place. They had some tables outside to wait for our order which was a nice touch

Drew A.

Yelp
It's hard not to fall in love with this simple little spot. The pics don't lie, it's one woman outside making some pretty delicious tacos, quesadillas, gorditas and a few other items on a griddle. Pop in, order from her, and then snag a seat inside at one of the 8 tables. They have Jarritos and other south of the border bevvies available as well, but no booze. I ordered an asada taco and a chicken quesadilla, and was plenty satisfied with both. The taco had a surprising amount of flavor for not being covered in anything fancy and the quesadilla was more meat than cheapo greasy cheese. Not bad at all for under $6. Will be back for a quick bite when in the area for sure! Bonus: you can catch up on your Univision viewing while here

Geraldin D.

This place is amazing que dios lo bendiga! I bought the quesadilla pollo tinga, and the tacos dorados it was nothing short of amazing and great customer service. I will definitely be returning!

Small Mexican restaurant with the chef doing her magic outside. You can sit inside and she'll bring it to you or just walk inside to pay and leave. And the chicken tacos are as good if not better than Taco Mix down the street.

MinhDuyen N.

because i'm such a huge fan of taco mix (hands down THE BEST taco place in town), i felt a bit guilty entering this establishment not more than three doors down. BUT in my defense, since their (taco mix) remodel earlier this year, it's been hectic and chaotic every time i attempt going in or even passing by (does the line ever move?). so, thought i'd try something else. this tiny hole in the wall has a totally different atmosphere than its neighbor. it's cozy, quaint with cool decorations, and actually has seating for more than three people (about 4 two seat tables). you order out front from their limited menu and wait inside for the sweet lady to bring it to you, if you're dining in. tacos are 3$ and gorditas/quesadillas are 5$ -- pretty reasonable. tacos are good; gorditas ok. be careful with the hot sauces; they're freaking hot. drinks are located inside in the fridge (we tried tamarind - DELISH) -- take as you please and pay when you leave. it's an honor system -- don't mess it up, yo. also, sweet lady who cooks is not Dona Maty (at least not last night). Dona Maty was chillin' at home.

Sufia C.

Yelp
Tried tacos dorados ($7) for the first time it was amazing, they're like fried tortilla (shaped like how taki chips are) and they're filled with cheese topped off with lettuce and shredded cheese, yummy with the green sauce, the red sauce was spicy but good just don't have too much of it if extra spicy isn't your thing. Cash only. Cute artsy place, loved the decor

Raymond W.

Yelp
mom and pop place the sweet lady makes your food outside and brings it to you inside tacos, quesadillas and the like. reasonably priced and large portions. the lady making the food speaks approximately three words of English so practice your Spanish ! the soda inside is delicious, best part of my meal. try the tamarind? the sauces are really spicy ! the decor, while very cozy, is a bit too crazy for my liking.

Kate M.

Yelp
I just ate one taco and another one is on the way, but I'm already yelping. So so delicious. Tiny and wonderful, with cold sweet horchata and yumm ok the other taco is here, time to eat it. $3 tacos.

Alberto S.

Amazing it's overwhelming how sweet she is!! Plus the food and the homey environment!! Definitely a hole on the wall ! I will come here again for sure !! When in harlem

Jean B.

With its latest Grade B from the NY Health Dept, who needs the sloooow line at Taco Mix when you're hungry?! Walk a couple steps west to Dona Maty! My spicy beef steak tacos were only $3 each (TM next door is $3.75) and just as tasty! And this quaint, clean Mom n Pop has comfortable seating for 12 inside.

Had Quesadillas Combinations, pretty good for its price. Small place with friendly staff.

Julie B.

Yelp
For $5.00 a quesadilla, this is not only delicious but also a great value. They are made by hand right out front and have a small seating area inside with a little TV playing Mexican telenovelas. Super cute and authentic. These aren't gringo quesadillas with store bought tortillas. They make them from scratch in front of your eyes. It's magical. Try the squash blossom "flor de calabaza" or the chicken tinga. No, wait, get both! You won't be disappointed.
