Nayeli’s Deli

This was the crappiest food I’ve ever had. Everything about my order was terrible. The pork and rice were really dry and the tortillas broke every time I folded.
I am so angry that I’m writing a review about it. I should’ve Unilocaled before I ordered.

I’ve only ordered once from this deli and from my experience, it will most certainly be the last! First of all, it took over an hour to be delivered, when the delivery guy finally arrived, my coffee was sitting on its side, which meant it had spilled leaving me with barely a half cup of coffee, chicken fingers were burnt, my breakfast wrap had the same ingredients as my pork taco which I could’ve been alright with if it didn’t taste so bad. I certainly will not be recommending this place to anyone!

I can’t jump up and down and rave about this place. At best I will stand, maybe a little reluctantly, with one thumb held mostly aloft in the upright position, but not for any great length of time.
The turkey club was, frankly, an abomination. What I expected to be a masterpiece of Boars Head turkey, crispy bacon and the customary fresh accoutrements was a literal hot mess of melted orange American cheese, mushy bread, flaccid bacon and raw onion. There was some turkey in there somewhere. It tasted more like a greasy Big Mac than a delicious turkey club sandwich.
On the plus side, my steak and cactus plate with rice and beans was ok (and the reason Nayeli’s didn’t get 1 star) — though much of the enjoyment might be attributed to the sheer contrast between this dish and the aforementioned train wreck of a sandwich. Though the steak was only seasoned with salt (a little too much) and pepper, it was still tasty and perfectly cooked. Topped off with a cold Mexican soda, I almost forgot the dumpster club sandwich. (No it didn’t. It will haunt me forever.)
I think the moral of the story is to stick with what they do best here. That would be Mexican fare. Branch out at your own risk.

Nayeli’s Deli is a fairly new Deli next to 41^st Street grocery. It’s a Spanish deli catering to the local residents. I walk by this place everyday to the train so I watched this place get built up. They carry a pretty large array of Spanish products particularly Mexican products. They have recently started serving items like tacos, quesadillas, tortas, etc. I went in there on a weekend and everyone there was quite friendly and ordered a chorizo Torta with egg. The sandwich was made in front of me using fresh ingredients and included onions, tomato, lettuce, and guac. The sandwich plus a bag of chips set me back $ 5.25 (what a deal!). The chorizo was pretty good and I wish they made the egg over easy but overall it was a pretty good torta. Besides the chorizo, they had beef, chicken, and some sort of mexican spicy steak. The employees don’t speak English very well but that’s the way I like it. For some good cheap Mexican eats, head to this place.
