@Sid. Thanks for the additional info on Lolita’s and for the recommendation on further up in Harlem, ie Acapulco Caliente. I too am of Mexican descent (soy mexicana!) and I am always looking for good Mexican food to eat. Of course nothing can compare to my mother’s cooking, but I am always up for trying Mexican food. I will check that place out soon. Thank you, thank you for the tip. Un grande gracias!

I love this place. When I was working on 116th St it was a mainstay for me at lunch time. I have Mexican heritage (among a million other things) and my family takes this cuisine pretty seriously, so for what it’s worth my recommendation has some ethnic cred. I recommend the Sopes when they have them. Also, if you’re up North, try Acapulco Caliente on Broadway between 143rd and 144th on the East Side of the street. Very good also. They just added Sopes to the menu as well – a muy autentico Mexican recipe that until recently was not in evidence on the menus of East Coast restaurants.

Your welcome! The other dishes I recommend are the three soft tacos and guacamole and chips. Those are the items I trade off all the time with the tostadas and corn on the cob . My significant other loves the red chile enchiladas or he will always gets the combination plate. It’s perfect for a person with a hardy appetite!
