Reviews For Don Chile Mexican Grill

Probably the best tacos I have ever had! There are so many hidden gems in New York City and this is one of them! I was heading to the Bronx to go shopping on southern boulevard but I was hella hungry, and I found this amazing taco place on google maps! I walk in and it is empty, which makes no sense because the food is amazing! This place is no frills, it’s not fancy, it’s authentic real Mexican food, made by Mexicans in a Mexican run business. The man at the counter was very helpful, nice, and courteous. I ordered the birria tacos and waited patiently at my table, admiring the mini Mexican flags hanging on the walls as music played in the background . Then my tacos were finally ready, they looked so beautiful I had to take a photo. The first bite was heaven, the meat was so juicy, and the cheese melted in my mouth! I finished both of them! The broth was excellent as well. I also added the hot sauces/lime wedges that were brought to my table, a great edition to the tacos. As I ate the place became packed because everyone was on lunch break! I payed (obviously) and left to go shopping. It was a great New York adventure, and I would love to go again.

Their food is great. It’s hard to find a genuinely good Mexican restaurant with a great price for the fact that there is a competing restaurant across the street but this place is truly to its roots. And the staff is very friendly. ...

Staff was very friendly. Food was delicious! the reviews were right about this place! Also the sturdycontainer with the little extras! Not balled up tacos in aluminum foil.
