Only a few folks here speak English. That bodes well for their tacos, which are the best in the area (by far). Drinks are only OK as they are pretty sweet and taste artificial.

Only concern to note here is this is a family-oriented Mexican restaurant, meaning a ton of parties here with bands - sometimes multiple bands in the same space (not kidding).

Great vibes, great food, you can tell that it's super authentic and legit. Be warned that they do not take any NFC / contactless payments. I'm assuming they take credit cards, but they won't take the same credit card in a different form? Silliness, businesses that don't literally allow you to give them money for their product like that will go under.

Everything was good otherwise but I almost couldn't pay, Even though they have an updated register. They simply won't accept it.

One of the worst Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to. And I’ve been to a lot and NEVER leave bad reviews. The Margaritas had ZERO alcohol in them. The waitresses were very very slow. The food was bland. Service was terrible and when they finally brought the check they charged us for extra items we didn’t order.

Worst torta I ever had. You do not put cucumbers on the torta. There’s no lettuce, no quesillo, no beans, no Mayo. This does not seem like a traditional Mexican restaurant.

The food was great, the drinks were terrible with absolutely no alcohol and not much variety. The service was also not the best and we had to wait a long time to order and some food was not ordered on time by the waitress while some of us ate others had to wait a long time to get their dishes. The ambiance is great to spend with the Mariachi.

El Michoacano has been a New Rochelle staple when it comes to its Spanish food offering. From their first location, the food remains absolutely delicious and I’d argue even larger portions since their move. Pictured are the enchiladas, burrito and quesadilla with a side of French fries. If you’re a looking for a quick meal, El Michoacano has you covered. Their huge dining room makes dining in easy and safe and the service is fast and friendly. You can’t ask for anything else! Can’t wait to stop in this weekend to grab a bite.

Been going here for years have never had a bad meal. For $10 you can get a plate of food that would cost upwards of $20 else where and the quality of food is excellent. The staff is and always has been very polite and the food comes out ridiculously fast. Give it a try for sure.

before they were located closer to North avenue, but the new location is much better and more spacious. the food is still very good. Mexican food that tastes like homemade food. all excellent, the only thing I would advise is that you take advantage because the place is so big that they can present live talent or singers with karaoke with a family atmosphere. the site lends itself to being taken advantage of in that way. They serve a delicious meal that has as an ingredient the goat or the sheep of which I will put some photos
