Guadalupe Victoria

They have really good tacos and nacho chips. The tacos are $ 3 each and very fulling. They definitely don’t skimp on meat, it is so good! I almost thought about going the next day. The nacho chips are delicious as well it was $ 8 and it included chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, it was soooo much food. Will def go back.

I have been eating from here since they first opened about 18 years ago. The proverbial hole it the wall.
But the food is very good traditional Mexican fare, they are friendly and the bill won’t break the bank.
Try the sopes or tacos. I always add «queso y crema» (cheese and sour cream) to my tacos. Their delivery is fast and they have beer if you dine in.

Tacos made with soft homemade tortillas. Trust me, it’s good. They mainly cater to seekers of authentic Mexican cuisine, therefore you have to be explicit about how much spice/​heat you want in your dishes.

Great food. Unpretentious. Very little English, but if you care about that at a Mexican restaurant, then you bug me. Not my favorite Carne enchilada, but still very good. I’m dying to try the tamale de dulce. Next time.
The pico was so great I’m going to have dreams about it. I could actually taste the lime and cilantro. Very bright flavor. The chips were free and clearly home made. Crispy, light, non-​greasy, non Costco. Yes, I often judge Mexican places on their quality of chips.
I’m just a white gringa from Seattle, but what I lack in Mexican expertise I make up for in taste buds. And it tasted good.
If your girlfriend doesn’t like holes-​in-​the-​wall/​grocery stores, don’t take her here. Actually dump her and call me.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

This place is excellent. Great tacos. It’s a hole in the wall but really good. The al pastor taco was truly good. The 6.95 lunch special is great, torta, taco and soda. Reminds me of some places in California that serve amazing tacos. One downside is that their burritos are wet which does preclude eating them on the subway. A solid four stars for food and service. One off that the food quality seems to change as I’ve had some amazing meals and some ok ones getting the same thing.

You will miss it if you aren’t careful! It’s very Mexican even down to the waitress that served me. She reminds me if a lovely young girl I met while lounging in Puerto Morelos. I was so greedy to eat my tacos that I didn’t share any with my dining partner. I’m a Bad friend. Something about the combo of flavors made my mouth remember Puerto Morelos.
And real Coca Cola! The drink with sugar cane. Sugar cane has a lovely caramel taste and a great mouth feel that gringos don’t know. I’m a Chinita after-​all ;)

This is the only Mexican food spot I go to, especially in Washington Heights. The service is warm and friendly. The food is good.
Coming from California, and being half Mexican, I KNOW, what and how authentic/​legit Mexican food tastes (or how it’s supposed to taste). Having said that, this place is good. Not the best I’ve had, but pretty much the best I’ve had living in NY, let alone in my area.
The staff is super friendly and have grown used to my face lol. I love the snacks and Mexican products they offer in addition to their menu. Nothing like Mexican Pepsi/​Coke, candy, chips, pan dulce, and Mexican beers like tecate, Pacifico, Dos Equis.
I’ve tried their breakfast (chilaquiles con huevo)… And it was BOMB! Spicy for sure, but amazing. I typically go in for their liquados (shakes) papaya & strawberry, horchata, and burritos.
P. s. it’s a split restaurant and deli.

Great authentic Mexican food! It’s a hole in the wall, but the food is always fresh and reasonably priced. They also have good Mexican pastries and bread.

There are a ton of Mexican restaurants in the area, but for whatever reason, this place lured me in. I too did not get chips or salsa, but I’m not sure why. It could be my lack of Spanish (I say that because the waiter spoke to me in Spanish before I indicated that I didn’t understand) but I don’t want to assume. In any case, the tacos and sopes were pretty good. The prices for most items seemed decent as well, but some of the appetizers were a bit pricey in my eyes. I’m not sure if I’ll return here, after trying more restaurants in the area.

Been going here for over five years. Officially boycotted. Used to be delicious food with some interesting regional specialties. The last time I went, the waitress tried to harrass me about a cup I brought in in Spanish which I don’t speak. Bad idea. Temp boycot. I went back today and I will NEVER go back. They no longer offer free chips when u sit down. The waitress pretended like she didn’t know what I was talking about then tried to sell me a $ 7 guacamole. I was irritated by her attitude and the point was to go with friend have some chips and beers and chill for a while then order entrees. You can’t do that here anymore. I took the food to go instead, the rice was nasty! It was mushy like a polenta. The sauce on my enchilacas tasted like hot cocoa without sugar. NASTY and COLD to boot! Far too many good mexican dives on broadway and in the hts to waste ur time or money on this one. Once loyal customer now says hellz no!

Service is a bit pokey but I was really impressed with the Mexican food here. I wasn’t expecting much since the restaurant is part of a deli/​market, but it was really good! I got the chicken mole poblano. Others tried sopes, tacos, and nachos. The mole sauce was off the hook and the corn tortillas served on the side were some of the best I’ve had — they were all freshly made and nicely toasted up on the grill. I ate myself silly.
Other reviewers mentioned getting chips and salsa; we only got salsa. Due to the language barrier we didn’t bother asking for them. We were able to ask for a more spicy red salsa as well.
It’s all fairly cheap though, but considering the location and décor it would be even better if it was a dollar or two cheaper per dish — but hey it’s still NYC, even if it’s the Heights.

The first legit Mexican Food I have found in the city. Low key spot, great for lunch, delicious fresh food.

Best Chiliquiles in the City! I’m still hunting though!

«Come inside, amigo,» said the guy behind the counter as I peered into Victoria Restaurant on Broadway. I kept my stride and continued on, but I only made it a few steps before curiosity got the better of me. I walked back and ordered two tacos, no make that three tacos, «dos de carne asada y un de al pastor.»
These flavorful treats were served a few minutes later, as I grabbed a small table in the dining room next to the tienda. I’m sure the rest of the menu is delicious, but I’ll be ordering the tacos the next time I venture this way. Served with cilantro, onions, radish and lemon, these tacos were the best I’ve had in the city in months.

I can never get past the delicious tacos here. I always say I am going to try a new dish when I stop in, but those hot little juicy tacos are all so damn tasty with enough salsa served on the side to give your tongue a nice little burn! The burritos are substantial and tasty and the rice and beans have always been fresh. But it is really the fresh and tasty tacos that are the reason for me to stop here at least once per week. I usually order take out but on occasion I will sit in the restaurant which is adjacent to La Guadalupana Grocery and shares the same entrance. In the warmth of Spring or Summer, I also enjoy taking them over to the bench in the Broadway median to sit, enjoy and watch the local traffic pass by. Sometimes in the evening and on most weekends the restaurant is full of single men who clearly won’t or can’t cook for themselves and at times one of them will get a bit drunk and either make everyone laugh or become annoying. But it mostly has a nice vibe and the waitresses have always been as sweet as can be. A very tasty neighborhood resource.

I love this place. They have the best tordas 9mexican sandwiches). I love the carne enchilada and the chorizo. They also have pretty decent quesadillas and the tacos aren’t bad. The actual venue is a complete dump, when you walk in, it may give you pause, I thought twice. But the sandwiches are fantastic, and if you are looking for authentic mexican food this is the place to go. Plus they have Mexican Coca-​Cola, which is my personal favorite and perfectly complements the sandwiches.
They have seating in the back room, but I’ve never actually been there, I always take out.

A lot of mexican places here don’t give chips and salsa from what I’ve seen and the one place that did were awful. Chips here are golden, crisp, not too greasy and the salsa verde had a nice spice to it.
I ordered the camarones a la mexicana which was basically camarones rancheros: a nice sauce of tomato, peppers and onions in a broth. The food was good but the broth was mad greasy. I don’t know if they used butter or what.
I also got a tamale on the side which was nasty. They use too fine of masa so it’s real dense and lardy.
I’d go back to try some other things. Interestingly, I saw La Fiesta two blocks down, looks like it’s a sister restaurant cause they have the exact same pictures on their menus and are both associated with the Guadalupana market next to Victoria’s.
