Grab the horchata - it's the source of the Vampire Weekend song. Used to grab tacos here once a week in college. Not California-quality, but don't listen to anyone that says Chipotle's better.

Chill vibes. Walked in at 11 pm, had some good food, they handed out free Insomnia Cookies. Very homey. Got the chicken tacos, they have us free chips and dip!

Delicious Mexican food. Highly recommend the burritos. When they say "cheese," they mean the Mexican stuff, not the cheddar you might think.

Get the giant burrito. I dare you to finish it in one sitting... Milanesa torta is a delicious mexican sandwich, horchata is goooooooooood.

Best tacos in the west side. Lengua is my favorite! Friendly staff and mixed clientele (mostly regulars). Don't order anything else if it is your first time.

I went with the carne enchilada torta. The outside of the bread wasn't as crusty as I've had it before—but I'm no bolillo expert and it was still delicious.

I grew up eating at this place all the time. The burritos are amazing. Also try the alambres! Definitely a hidden gem of the upper west side.

I've been coming here for 9years. For the perfect meal get a grapefruit jarritos, a carnitas taco, and a tamale. Also, the burritos and tortas are worth every penny.

Their tacos de lengua are great, and I ordered a chicken tamale with tomatillo sauce that I'd recommend, too! Pretty filling at a low price.

Some of the biggest burritos I've ever seen (the tortillas almost didn't cover the burrito insides!).I had their huevos rancheros and their horchata; both were solid. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Taqueria y Fonda is the kind of divey place that anyone—young or old, but definitely hungry—can hold near and dear to their stomachs.

The burritos live up to their advance billing: They're huge - and relatively inexpensive. Also? There's often a code for 10% off on Mondays and Tuesdays. (As of March 2011, it's "SPRING.")

Great, affordable mexican food. Free chips & 3 different salsas when you eat there. You get a lot of food for your money, too.

Best Authentic Mexican Food Ever. Tacos and Quesadillas are good. The homemade chips are one of a kind.
Jason Thorpe BuchananJune 7, 2014
Great tacos, where else in the area can you get a meal for less than 4 bucks!?
Daniel Marco FernandezOctober 11, 2016
Giant burrito for the win. The carnitas were smooth and tasty.

burritos are bigger and more fresh than chipotle, yet at the same price.

It's nothing fancy but the food is great and the people are nice.
Alex RobertsonNovember 6, 2017
Truly shows how starved this area is for good food, because it's one of your best options for price and taste but doesn't at all stack up to any good mexican food in NYC
MunaJuly 10, 2013
Chicken salad with the string cheese is amaze.
GenevaJune 6, 2013
It was 14 dollars for 3 tacos and they didn't have meat on them, nottttt the place if you want a cheap eat!
