About this business

Originally from Southern California, Ralph and Rina Camarillo's first visit to NYC was back in 1979 to see the musical "Zoot Suit", the first all Hispanic play on Broadway. What they didn't know at the time was that this would mark the beginning of a 30-year adventure celebrating their culture as Mexican Americans here in the Big Apple. They loved the city so much that they began bringing their children back for frequent visits over the next three decades. At the time, Ralph owned a construction firm and Rina worked as a fli... read more

Love this Place – I come to this place very often after work with my cowoker and we love it. I'm hooked to their frozen margaritas and their quesadillas.

True West Coast Mexican Food in NYC – great, great place. ambience is great, the owners were there asking how we liked our meal....which we really did & liked the price too. we got the hard-shelled tacos, which were really really good....the kind of true hard-shell taco that doesn't crack in your hand on the first bite, we'd recommend the steak over the chicken tho. great beans & rice sides. great part of town. totally cheap. it's very good, very authentic. but the service was very poor, sadly. we sat there for 10mins before... read more

Best Mexican Restaurant in the Big Apple. – I found this place accidently while was walking back to my apartment in the SOHO/Greenwich Village district. The food here was so good i ate their twice before heading back to Los Angeles. The food is truely authentic, and not greasy or sloppy like a lot of "mexican" restaurants in New York. The owner Ralph is a real great guy who will occasionally will greet you himself to the restaurant.If your a big Mexican food fanatic like I am, be sure to take a stroll down sullivan street in... read more

Good Times! – Excellent authentic LA mexican food (we Angelenos had to travel to NYC to find food this good); food you can enjoy, savor; rice was perfect; real beans, not mushy stuff; flan was heavenly (and I don't typically like flan); parfait was great; flaming margaritas unique and delicious. I can't say enough except if you want good food, good company, good atmosphere, good times--then this is the place!

Ahuaa! Chicanos in NYC! – This is the real thing! Finally, Chicano cuisine and atmosphere in the big apple. The food is excellent, the space is smooth, the people become your family... the whole experience rides a little lower, slower, and deeper. As a South Califas native, I suggest you dump those fake NYC buritto spots and head on over to Florencia 13 for the real thing. Do you know what Chicano is?

South of the border in the big city. – Being from Arizona, I know my Mexican food. The owners of this great little restaurant make the words "Mi casa, Su casa" really ring true. Not only were the Chili rellenos better than any I've had in the southwest, they were made from fresh Anaheim chilis (Real southwest style) and generous in size. The rice and beans were homestyle and delicious. I would highly recommend this place to any other visitors from the southwest who may be a little homesick for good mexican food and dont forg... read more

A gem in the city!! – Someone finally understands that there is a difference between Cali Mexican and what we have been led to believe is Mexican cuisine in NYC. As a transplant from Los Angeles, I no longer feel I have to go back to Cali to get my Mexican food fix. As much as I would like to keep this place a secret, I also would like for this restaurant to stay around for the long haul. I know they will as long as they keep dishing out their delicious home-cooked recipes.

Authentic S. Cali Mex Cousine – What a previledge to live only 2 blks away from this great S.Cali Mex restaurant! The service was great---the owners and the staff made us feel comfortable and part of their family. They go the extra mile to introduce themselves and provide you with the most pleasant experience possible. The food was delicious---Tacos al pastor where very tasty and their beans/rice was just like my grandma's cooking!
