I havent ever had a burrito this good outside LA or Sand Diego. I got the Suadero Burito. It was very spicy, but I like it that way. Decent prices also.
You can find all of the Mexican/Latin American ingredients you could possibly need here. But make sure you do your shopping on an empty stomach and get tacos at the taqueria in the back. These tacos are the best kept secret in albany.
Food was real good. People were kind people. Definitely will be back.
Horrible service! I called earlier in the week to see if I could place an order to be picked up by the weekend since it was going to be a large order. It seemed like the lady didn’t care, I speak Spanish fluently so it wasn’t a language barrier issue. I went to the store and waiting for about 10 minutes and left. There were 3 people in the kitchen and no one acknowledged me or care to help.
I order from this restaurant all the time, and its always my absolute favorite Mexican in Albany city. Lunch dinner you name it Ill munch it from this place! The three street tacos with rice and beans are my favorite dish and the guacamole always has just the right flavor and kick that Im looking for.
This place has the BEST Mexican food Ive had in years!! This is my go to place any chance I get. If I could I would rate them a 10!! I am so happy I stopped over looking this tiny place because I wont get my rice an tacos from any other place but here!
Pros: Taste is amazing, portion sizes are generous, and value is decent. Theyre also available via GrubHub.Cons: Staff never wear masks and are inconsistent answering their phones.
This place is great. Please go here with an open mind. They have some of the best tongue tacos. The portions are always generous. One of my two favorite places to frequent for tacos in albany. Service is always exceptional. Dont expect the red carpet. All the love is in the food.
There are a lot of great Mexican places to choose from in Albany, so I wasnt 100% sold with our initial order, but gave it another shot and its clear you just gotta know what to get. Got the carne asada chimichanga the next time and it was FANTASTIC! Its also worth treating yourself to the tres leches or the cheesecake; portion size is a bit small but theyre absolutely amazing. Plus with the low prices on the entrees, its still a great deal. (Note: the churro doesnt seem to travel well so maybe skip that on your takeout order. 😉)
The best Mexican food in the Albany
After years looking for traditional tacos and not the Americanized mexican food that Ive always found in the area, I finally found it!. If youre looking for traditional tacos, this is the place. There are not many real mexican places in the area and this one exceeded my expectations, prices were really cheap and the food even better!!! Try it and you wont regret it!!!
This is one of those unique hole in the wall restaurants that doesnt cater to the masses. They are happy to serve anyone but this is a true Mexican restaurant where many Mexicans go for dining and food staples. My friend and I both enjoyed our burritos along with Mexican soda.
Food is great and amazing portions! best tacos ever!
The food is great. And the prices are great. Communication its not so great. I keep saying no Dairy please and theres always Dairy on my food I keep saying please dont send plastic utensils and they still keep doing it each time. I can even call to clarify
The food here is absolutely delicious. Everything is seasoned to perfection and tastes extremely authentic. The price is what makes this place even more exceptional. Would recommend over and over again!
Soggy tamales and soggy quesadillas...empanadas were half way decent but the chicken inside was dry..they didn’t give me dipping sauce for anything.
$2.00 tacos are fantastic. They are small so if your hungry Id get four. The fresh chips and salsa is so fresh. The inside is authentic and family owned. Lighting is a bit intrusive with harsh florescent. Parking is front is a challange but there is a lot in the back.
Paid for extras that was not put in or on the food. Ive eaten from many Mexican eat-ins and order outs and this is by far the worse, I wouldnt even compare this to Taco Bell. Poor flavor, barely use of any sauces or vegetables even if you pay extra for it. Wouldnt eat again even if they paid me to. Complete waste of money.
The tacos are good. They are tasty. The rice and beans are ok. They could be better. The green and red salsa are the real deal. Spicy salsa. Watch out. You will need water. I can afford to eat here every day.
My go to for authentic Mexican food. Nice portions..their guacamole is the best around.. The shrimp cocktail huge and amazing..
Authentic Mexican food! Finally!
I really like this place when Im making Mexican food. I was looking for a very precise spice, achiote. Found it. Its very good to cook chicken, meat or fish. Its makes it very tasty. One else has it in the area. Thank you!
The food is phenomenal! Its just a little hard ordering because of the language barrier, and because of this have gotten the wrong food. this however was not a bad thing. I was able to try something I wouldnt normally had ordered, and it was delicious. Ive been back over 10 times in the last 3 months and was never disappointed with the food.
Best authentic Mexican food in the capital region. This place serves authentic Mexican, if you want tex-mex go to Chipotle. If you want real Mexican food for a great price check this place out. Personally I really enjoy the carnitas burrito, but the tacos and plates are great as well.
Food is aMaZAzInG! Tiny, hidden shop on Central Ave off Everett Rd I90 exit. Its entrance is hidden by a bus stop. DELICIOUS food menu and cornucopia of flavored, pure-cane-sugar soda options - have you had apple soda?! So yummy!Three tacos for six bucks and change. SPLURGE -- spend the extra $1.50 for the carnitas ♥️
I went there for the 1st time because I had a craving for a burrito. 1st off let me say I was extremely surprised to find out how big it is on the inside. It looks much smaller than it really is. I believe it was a carne asada burrito. The price was right, the portion was good, the steak was cooked very well and it was flavorful. It couldve used more pico, salsa or something. Chicken tacos, best Ive ever had.The huevos con jalapeno with rice and beans is delicious as well. In the restaurant on the menu it says huevos con jalapenos & asada but after getting home I seen there was no steak in it. I was very disappointed initially. After reviewing the take out menu I saw they no longer offer it with steak and I really didnt feel like going back. But when I ordered I ordered huevos con jalapenos & asada. Someone should have told me it didnt come with steak when I ordered it. Nevertheless, it tasted very good.
What a great place!! I deliver for Uber and that is how I found out about this! A tiny mom and pop Mexican grocery and cafe! Get your spices and peppers or order some authentic home cooked yummy Mexican food! Super friendly! Great prices! Highly recommend!
Definitely some of the best burritos Ive ever had. I have tried to convince myself to try the tacos but every time I go I cant shake the fact that I love their burritos so much I cant bring myself to order anything else. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
Authentic mexican food. A hole in the wall kind of place. Mostly everything inside is listed in spanish and makes it tough for those not a knowledgeable. Communication was a little tough and made paying a little confusing. Overall the food was flavorful and I might be back again.
I don’t know if three stars are adequate bcuz the food is good but the steak quesadilla I ordered was cook with HAIR! Yes, as I was biting into it, I had a long black hair in my food and that turned me off as well as made me mad and sick!! HAIRNET 101 when performing any food service!! Also the language barrier is awful!! I’ll give it another try but will look thru my foodfirst!!Update: Had the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich...OMG sooooo good!!! Took a minute to order bcuz of the language barrier but once I got my sandwich it Was worth it and I highly recommend it!!!!
If Market32 or Amazon are out of dried poblanos, guajillos or cornhusks, you can find them here. But this is not a pleasant store to shop. Small, dirty and inventory does not seem fresh. Puedes hacerlo mejor.
This place had amazing authentic Mexican food for really cheap prices. I loved my entree. A very family style restaurant. They also have a grocery section.
The food was delicious. One of the best Ive had.
At first, you might think this place is kinda scetchy, but once you get comfortable and the food is served, its AMAZING! Really authentic and tasty! Highly recommend!
Awesome authentic food, amazing prices (2 full meals with drink less than 20 bucks, cant beat that) amazing service, they actually cares about me, my food, and my visit there. Held good convos and the customer service was great ! Definitely will be back !
Ate here for the first time today ! The food is amazing- like Tijuana street food ! Yummy 😋 don’t let the looks of the place put you off - the food is sooo worth it , very small but run by lovely friendly folks ! Delicious and very reasonably priced ! Will definitely go back (again and again lol )
Best Shrimp tacos Ive had anywhere, including Mexico. Delicious!
A hidden gem! Authentic Mexican food that tastes great! Highly recommend if you are in the area, as it is some of the best Mexican food around. I recommend the beef toungue burritos (Burritos de Lengua).
This may sound ridiculous but the Mexican Market is among the best places to get Mexican food in the US. A true food gem in the capital region.
Excellent food, especially the carnitas burrito. Highly recommend their salsa as well, tastes fresh and has a good amount of heat.
You want have diarrhea one of this days ?Get some tacos from this place .Diarrhea or stomach poison ...I dont understand why still open
Great tacos. Service was a little slow but it was pretty busy so I can forgive that. I cant wait to try more of the menu.
Authentic Mexican food ,delicious and very nice people.
Good food, fast service
Ugh. So great. If you live in the catskills, where choco tacos are too spicy for most people, stop here to stock up on chorizo, valentinas, dried chiles, and (hopycrap whats this) choco tacos 🎺🎺🎺!
You are missing out if you dont give this place a try. The food is incredible. Fresh and full of flavor.
We go there once a week AT LEAST here in our office. The food is authentic and amazing. Also the price is right! Try the Last Mexicana Tortas... absolutely incredible!
Love this place!! It’s within walking distance from me and they always follow my special instructions.
Lovely Mexican authentic food. Perfect gem in these Albany NY parts. Lol. Love it there!
The Best Tacos A la Gringa in Albany NY 😝😝😝👍👍👍
Hell ya lots of good chilies
Nice store but missing some important mexican groceries.Restaurant is great, staff very friendly
Found this place on a quest for guajillo chiles. They have chiles I hadnt heard of - and Im a chile guy! Folks were friendly and helpful. Havent tried their restaurant, but a previous reviewer has made this inevitable. What a great find!
This is the greatest Mexican food in town. Get a few tacos pastor for lunch with a passionfruit soda and just relax
Wow! Amazing authentic Mexican food! Will absolutely be going back!
Food is OK, the place is tiny, overall is fine to eat some Mexican food not the greatest but just ok
This place is awesome tacos food etc. Best in Albany
The carne asada tacos, green sauce, and beans and rice were very tasty! Make sure youre not in a hurry. Worth the wait.
This place is the best Mexican food Ive had since I was in San Diego!!
The food was excellent. Great quality and well worth your money.
Some of the best food you can get locally
I visit 3-4 days a week, very clean, authentic, great tasting food , Best tacos ever .... Great People , Caldo de pollo the Best
They have a variety of food thats decently priced. The carnitas were pretty good. Ill be going back soon.
I spent almost 20 years in Texas and it remind me of living there plus they have all the tex mex staples. A little slice of home.
Very good and authentic food. Its a little hidden just look for it its worth it. And its open late too!
Hidden gem....go to the left when you walk in. Order your food and eat. Then pay on the other side at the store register. Food was awesome
Ive heard that they have good food that some people are interested in but I have never been in the store
Amazing place with the good food to be honest
It was ok here they have a lot of things you have been looking or to make a Mexican meal but Ive been to others that cost less but they did not have all that this one does.
God was excellent I had the trios tacos and they were very good. I had the chicken and steak.
They food is better them anybody else.
Best mexican food around, very consistent and home vibes
Best Mexican food in the tri city area, bar none
Great food, a nice niche local that meets my budget. Check them out!!!
Wow. Authentic Mexican food !! Reminds me of the good in Cali or Texas..
Best tacos in the 518 by far
Extremely high quality food. I dont even know how they make money for how cheap it is.
When i jave a dollar in my pocket, i come here and get their mango chilli lollipops. its rigjt by my bus stop.
Great place for authentic, small store Mexican food.
Grameat place would give 5 stars if English speaking staff there at all times.
Best mexican market Ive ever been to
Perfect tacos- corn tortillas, chicken, cilantro and onion. And at a great price!
Awesome burritos and good people to come and enjoy food with
Great food but a kind of confusing experience

Love ve it
👍👍👍
Not what I expected
Authentic food
They dont have my respect or money. Order some tacos to go, I was very specific with the person who took the order. When I went to look for the food they didnt know about my order and my time is limited by my work. So I had to leave without food and hungry for the remaining 8 hours of work. That was my only break to eat.
Lacks a little more probably a product or organization in their products to better look what they have. Attendees need to improve service to the customer. Greetings and much success
Excellent store with Mexican products.They also have money transfers to Mexico and Guatemala ... they handle an excellent exchange rate ... very fast and safe .... ask for the shipping company Transfast.
It is a small place compared to what you see in photos, but the burritos are delicious 👌🏼
They really need to learn manners and be more attentive to customer service
Very good, especially the girl who works there, is very good
Well, the food is very good because its fresh 😉
Amazing tongue, shrimp cocktail, and al pastor
Delicious

2022-05-30Like flies in your grocery store? How about groups of men standing in the aisles staring at you blankly? If so, this place is for you! Ill take a pass. As far as the restaraunt, we didnt try it but the rotten smell throughout was persuasive against it.

2022-06-23Absolutely awesome. Very authentic. I had tripe soup and my wife and daughter had amazing tacos. We will be back for sure!
Review №3
2019-06-12Like a mini Mexican market when you walk in through the door. The taqueria is hidden in the back of the store. You have to make a left once you enter the store and walk to the back. All the tacos are made to order essentially using fresh ingredients. The servers dont speak much English (not a problem for me since I speak Spanish) but they get the job done. Tacos were really good.
Review №4
2022-03-30If you dont order here youre a fool. This is the best takeout in Albany. I got the sopes de asada, tacos dorados queso and tacos al trompo. It is hard to find good food around here. I am so happy right now. Give them all your money.

2021-02-12Since no one in the Capital Region is selling birria tacos, I am making birria tacos myself at home! I needed some uncommon ingredients that you cant get just anywhere: dried ancho chilies, dried guajillo chilies and Oaxaca cheese. This store, though small, had an excellent selection of dried chilies and other items used in Mexican cuisine. They had everything I needed.

2021-11-22Grocery section is limited, but the staff are friendly and helpful. Tried the steak, chorizo and al pastor tacos. Also had a carnitas burrito. All very tasty. Cant wait to go back and try the tortas and pozole.
