Quesadillas Doña Maty, a cozy corner eatery in East Harlem, serves up irresistible 24/7 quesadillas and tacos, made with love and fresh ingredients.
"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
