Taco's El Paisanito

Loved the food it was great, hadn't ate native food in a lil while but with that being said my expectations were met.🙂

Absolutely delicious food omggg😍 me and my sis eat here frequently and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming and the food is sooooo good

The al pastor here is a revelation in technique and flavor development. The pork shoulder shows proper acid balance in its marinade—guajillo and achiote working in harmony with pineapple enzymes to achieve remarkable tenderness without compromising structure. The vertical spit roasting creates perfect fat rendering and those essential caramelized edges that define exceptional al pastor. The pineapple isn't garnish; it's integral. Charred to concentrate sugars and develop complexity, it cuts through the richness with precision. The marriage of sweet, acid, and umami demonstrates sophisticated flavor architecture. Each taco arrives with optimal textural contrast—the crisp, charred exterior yielding to succulent, properly seasoned meat. The tortillas are griddled just enough to develop toasted notes without sacrificing pliability. The cilantro and onion are applied with restraint, supporting rather than overwhelming. This is al pastor executed at the highest level—proof that street food, done with proper technique and quality ingredients, rivals any fine dining preparation. Masterful.

Not even kidding, I'm so mad It took me so long to try it. Food is so flavorful and so good. And you're getting a good amount of food for what you're paying. The only thing that was missing on the menu was the Mexican street corn and I'll be harassing them till they put it on.

This small & authentic restaurant has the best food in Fordham Road 🌮 I tried almost everything in the menu & i can say everything tastes delicious!!! If you are ever around Fordham Road you deff need to stop by & give it a try, you wont regret it !! Staff is friendly & now they accept credit/debt cards as well.

definitely a must try spot!! they never miss ong

Tacos 10/10. Torta de chorizo: 10/10 Green and red salsas 5/10- they weren’t that spicy or flavorful. Overall 10/10

My family and i have been ordering from here for quite sometime. I haven't physically been here yet. So far everything that we have tried has been amazing. I mostly always order a small size of guacamole which comes with homemade chips. Both very good and always fresh. I have tried the chimichanga with chicken, beef fajitas, quesdillas, chorizo tacos, steak tacos, shrimp tacos and pastor tacos. All of it has been amazing. One of the things that i like about this place is how consistent the food is. In the last year alone I've ordered food from here over 17 times. It's that good. When in need of a good quick meal, order from here. It's worth it.

If you are looking for some authentic Mexican cuisine this spot is for you. I always get the flautas and they are by far the best ones I've ever had. Can you tell ? I licked the plate clean ! Located in the South BX it is not difficult to get to whether by car or public transportation. They also finally take card so for my points people you're in luck

This was one of my favorite Mexican places until today. I ordered two sets of nachos and some tacos for me and my brother. The tacos were fine. But the nachos I received tasted like cleaner. I thought I was crazy and had my brother try it and he spit it out. I then walked over to the restaurant and brought the food back to them. I told them the food tasted like cleaner. The outer chips had a faint hint but the middle tasted like someone poured soap in it. The lady said I ate half of it so she could only replace one. I only ate the corner and i will include a picture. Long story short I will never order from this place again. Next time someone tells you your food tase like floor cleaner you may want to listen. And if anyone else has this issue please tell them and don't let it go. Maybe then they will listen.

This place has the best tacos in my area. I usually order the Carnitas Tacos and the Al Pastor Tacos. I can also recommend the Shrimp and the Salmon Tacos. The ingredients are fresh and the orders go out quick and packed properly. You can ask for American or Mexican Style. Both are delicious. The smoked red salsa is sooooo delicious. They are my comfort food because you can't go wrong with their menu. Also, they have Zelle pay. Super convenient!

Was Out Looking For Dominican Food For My Family. All The Places Were Closed. I Ended Up At This Mexican Spot. The Food Was Fresh & Made To Order. The Flavor Lacked Alilttle Bit, However It Edible. At Any Event I Enjoyed My Food.

Omg The Chef in the Paisanito make the best Nachos of chicken and steak with onions and rice & black beans in the Boogie down Bronx Delicious the server and that answer the phone are so nice I recommend there awesome food 100% so if you want some Great Mexican food go or order from them Thank you so much

Oh my God, Taco's El Paisanito was simply amazing. Lovely staff and great ambience all year round. Pretty much every thing that we purchased was incredibly fresh and delicious. The service was marvelous. They were fast, effective, and got everything right. Taco's El Paisanito - They were fabulous! I will definitely be back.

I LIKE THIS PLACE A LOT. Sorry for yelling, but this place is the shit. It's great. Nice people who make great food. It's a very unassuming hole in the wall-just the kind of place where you find folks doing it right. The tacos are a-maz-ing. I had one of the best tacos I've had in years here a couple of weeks ago. They have very excellent housemade hot sauces, be sure to try them both! Highly recommended.

Great tacos and love their beef chimichungas. Always fast delivery and great service. The delivery man is vey nice and professional.

The establishment doesn't look the cleanest, but the food is decent. On the menu, it says ".50 for extra sour cream", yet the guy in the front tried to charge me $1. But don't worry, there is enough sour cream on the plate already.

Food is always fresh and tasty. Portions are great for the money. Quick and effective delivery.

Hidden gem! This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in all of NYC! I have lived near them for years. All the food is delicious & the family that owns the place is kind, sweet and very efficient. I honestly think this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in NYC. The food is delicious, the portions are great and the prices are good. Their mole sauce is amazing! The only problem is that they don't often make it because not many people order it. Order it, people! You will be very happy you did! Thanks, Paisanito's!

Fantastic food!! Everything is very fresh and delicious!! I've literally tried everything on the menu. But my favorite is The Chimichanga!! Always on time fast delivery, a little hole in the wall a New York find.

They are amazing. Love their red sauce ... we keep ordering.;). It's the place to order authentic Mexican food.

Tacos were amazing. Wish they had longer hours for late night snacks but def worth a try.

My boyfriend works close by and always tell me about this taco place. We ordered all three kinds of tacos; steak, chicken, and carnitas. So YUMMY! Fresh cooked right in front of you, not those precooked meats.The onions and cilantro topping with their sauce gave each taco a ton of flavor with a pinch of lime. It's a little spot but tacos are the best I've had. Check out the picture I added or my boyfriends review.

On time delivery, friendly service and fast, fresh food! Love this place and grateful to have them in the neighborhood!

Really delicious tacos! I was extremely surprised with the quality of the food. It's hard to find a good taco spot in the Bronx. Happy to say I finally found the right one! I ordered four different types of tacos : pork, steak, chorizo & Al Pastor. Delivery took longer than described but it was worth the wait! They were all delicious!!! Definitely going to order from them again!

I just placed an order for nachos, guacamole and ships and tacos. I have to say I am very disappointed with my order and what I received. The guacamole was not an avocado guacamole, it was more of an onion guacamole. It had big chunks of onions. It was so overpowering that I had to stop eating it. The chips were soaked in grease. The nachos had the same soggy chips and it was not tasty how I was expecting. It was poorly made and expensive for what I received. I took 4 bites of each and had to throw it away. I spent around $30.00 for nothing. The tacos were not Mexican style how it stated in the menu. It had almost no meat and was packed with lettuce. Totally disappointed.

So I've been coming here for years! But this time was different bc I was with my fiancé and I wasn't working in the area just driving thru. This place is the ultimate authentic Mexican taco spot! This isn't a sit down kinda place so for that I'm not going to alter my rating. I'll give it 5 stars bc a place like this deserves it! However I recommend eating it right away although the place only seats 4 people max. What I do is I order, pay, and wait outside in my jeep and the young kid inside brings me out my food from Mexican heaven. It seriously doesn't get any fresher or better than this place! If you're in the area be sure to check'em out! U will NOT be disappointed.

Really bad food they don't use Mexican products specially with the chorizo I order chorizo tacos and they send sausage tacos Don't spend your money Muy mala Comida no es mexicana ellos no usan productos mexicanos ordene tacos de chorizo y ellos me enviaron tacos de salchicha horrible por cierto no gastes tu dinero

Cheat day? Long day? Any day is made better with chicken quesadillas. Small place that I order from and eat at home. Wouldn't change a thing.

Food is really good only bad thing is the delivery. I ordered twice from here once through yelp and the second time by calling and both times it took over an hour to get my food :(

I ordered a chicken taco, steak taco and a fajita salad. With the Yelp24 coupon, my delivery came out to 18 bucks. The food was delicious. It was delivered in under an hour (on a Saturday afternoon), before the expected delivery time and the delivery guy was nice enough to come right to my apartment door. The chicken and steak were very flavorful, tasted fresh and well seasoned. The guacamole is delicious. And the complimentary tostada was very fresh and crispy. The salad was a great portion, and the smoky red sauce it comes with is delicious. There was enough food for two people. I'll definitely be ordering regularly and trying other things on their menu. Thanks for the awesome food Tacos el Paisanito

Just moved into the neighborhood and this is a solid spot to get some Mexican food. Portions are a good size and I like that they have American options for my son, who's a picky eater. Very reasonable prices.

Fast delivery & the food was delicious even though we think we got one item wrong. But overall, thumbs up from a first timer.

I've been ordering from this restaurant for over six years and their food is pretty consistent, tastes good and most of all fresh. The prices are reasonable delivery is fast and they are very convenient and reliable for a great meal

Food is good, price are correct and people are really Nice Nice. I ordered the beef quesadilla. The quantity is perfect.

My issue with this place is the price and not the best flavor I wish if they can improve their dishes maybe I can be a fan

The food was absolutely delicious, delivery came earlier than expected, and finally a delivery man that comes up the door. The service was exceptional. The only thing was that I order vegetarian nachos and it came with a lot of peppers and onions so if that's not your cup of tea keep that in mind. Other than that the food was amazing!

Cheap eat! They offer a wide variety of Mexican dishes and a American menu as well. You can't beat the prices. Delicious food and fast delivery!

I heard that this place had some good Mexican food so I ordered. I had the shrimp quesadillas and it was one of the best I've ever had. The delivery time was long, hence the 4 stars but the food made up for the time it took.

I ordered beef tacos. It tasted good except, I got food poisoning from it and spent the next day recovering from it. Never again. Be very careful.

This place is awesome. The food is delicious and the resturant itself is super clean. The family that works there is sweet too! Love the tacos, chimichangas, nachos and quesadillas.

Its a good restaurant, very close by and they're very friendly people. Though i have tried the tacos and the burgers and fries, i havent triee their pizza. Im not sure if its good or not. Im not a big fan of their current arrangement, i sorta liked the one before, it had more room. But, good restaurant i recommend it.

The food is awesome!!! I was hesitant to order from here because of the lack of reviews and because I thought it would take too long to deliver from the Bronx to Inwood. Am I ever glad I did! The tacos are the best I've had delivered in the area and they have Chilaquiles! Now, chilaquiles are different every where you go, so you not be exactly what you're expecting, but dammit, are they tasty. Portions are on the larger side.

The steak quesadillas were amazing! The shrimp taco I did not like at all, as well as the Guacamole! It had TOO MUCH onions so I couldn't finish it.
