Has been my go-to East Village taco spot for 8 years. Family run and always feels like youre getting a home cooked meal. Love it!

Probably my favorite home-style restaurant in NYC. When I moved back to NYC from LA (which admittedly has great Mexican food!) this was still one of the first places I went to.

The food here is amazing and super affordable! Everyone is really friendly too. They have everything you need grocery-wise if your cooking Mexican. Definitely recommend stopping by

This place is perfection in the most simplest form. Just go here and admire the master behind the counter.

Authentic Mexican food cooked by authentic grandmas. Family owned and run. The late night workers there are so sweet, made us gringos feel like family. Even brought us fresh queso to cool our mouths when we dared to eat their table chili peppers! You hope places like this never close, cuz they’re the grit, heart and soul of New York City.

Little hidden gem. Great food, great service, worth going out of your way for

Place has been here for years and so small it is easy to miss. Essentially a bodega with Mexican specialty groceries and cooked take out. Authentic and tasty and very affordable. The menu changes day to day with some interesting choices if you want to be adventurous. I would recommend the burritos with chipotle chicken, goat neck or beef tongue. Try it!

Zaragoza is a small Mexican grocery and kitchenZaragoza is an old school joint and has that vibe from NYC from decades ago. the space is fairly narrow. the shelves are packed with Mexican snacks and ingredients. there are a couple of small tables for folks who want to order and eat. there are chilled soft drinks and beers in the back.Zs is a small menu of comfort eats from tacos to flautas to tortas to burritos to nachos to enchiladas and more. the food? solidly good.ordered the two-meat burrito (chicken + al pastor) to go. there’s a variety of meats to fill your burrito with…the burritos are stuffed with beans, rice, lettuce, sour cream and cheese. the outside of the burrito is covered in sauce. it’s a good size burrito and filling. it was pretty good, though one of the meats were salted a bit too much for me, but overall the burrito was fine. the price: $13 + tip. prices have gone up here, even the one meat burrito is $11 + tip. much like everything in NYC now, food costs will only go up.service is friendly and relaxed.

Love this place and was glad to find it still open. Delicious food and welcoming service. The barbacoa and carnitas are amazing. The burritos are huge and served with delicious sauces. They usually have a few tables in the back but right now they are outside on the sidewalk.

Awesome Mexican food and open late! I love their tacos, and the tortas and burrito are also damn good and filling!

A classic grocery + taco counter. Lengua, goat, spicy pork all succuclent. Humble service. That special bodega ambience. Zaragoza is hope in uncertain times.

Great pork and pineapple tacos!

So good. Got goat tongue

Yes, you are eating in the back of a grocery store. Yes, it is delicious. This place is the perfect stop off after a few pints at the Drop off Service.

Best authentic cheap Mexican in the ev! Dank tacos for 3 bucks with rotating list of meats-- classic chipotle chicken and al pastor are always on the menu but Ive also enjoyed well prepared meats such as tongue and goat. Also recommend tacos, tamales, any Mexican thing. 8 bucks for a phat burrito too!

Great Service. If you ever want to find Mexican products in the city they have it !

Food is amazing and to die for...I highly recommend this store to eat out.

Incredible, authentic Mexican food. Great people. Don’t miss it.

Love this place, delicious food and ingredients and super nice people!

Awesome fresh food.

Delicious tacos and burritos in a cosy, family-run Mexican deli. They have different meats each day (written on the chalkboard outside) - my favorite tacos here are chorizo con papas, carnitas and ground beef. Their salsa verde is delicious. They also have a great stock of Mexican imports like Tajin, Takis and more.

Tacos are delicious, outdoor seating available. I come here every few weeks to pick up the homemade salsa, and other Mexican food grocery items that are hard to find nearby, fresh nopales, chiles, cheese, etc. They even have paletas!Please support small family owned businesses!!

Terrible tacos and horrible service. Worst Tacos in nyc.

Great place to pick up authentic, fresh tortillas. Fair prices. $5 minimum for credit cards.

The food here is definitely made with love, and the people who run this place are extremely nice. The atmosphere is authentic – nothing fancy here. The meats are generally good, though some are less flavorful than others. All in all, some of the better Mexican food Ive had.

5 star service! Great place to find homestyle Mexican cooking. Right now you can go and pick up. Picked up some Tamales and Mexican products. Supportsmalllocalbusinesses!

Family owned & operated. Its like going home for your meal with lots of goodies that you wont find in the City. Variety of food to choose from, including vegetarian. Relax & enjoy.

Wonderful true mexican food. Tried tamales, enchiladas and burritos, all were excellent. Here for 2 weeks will definitely be back.

Incredible!! hidden gem! And family owned and operated.

Dont let the hole in the wall vibes (in pretty much every way) fool you - this place is amazing. We had chorizo, chicken, and goat tacos and loved every generously portioned one.

Home made Mexican food at rock-bottom prices. The tacos and burritos were a weekly staple for me when I lived in the area.Family owned and run, the staff are polite and generous. For authentic tacos, theres no where else you should be looking in NYC.They also sell Mexican grocery items, so if theres a hard-to-find brand youre looking for, chances are they carry it.Be careful of the hot peppers on the table! They pack a serious punch!

A terrific Mexican deli in the E Village. Very good value for the neighborhood & the tacos and burritos are very tasty. Its a no frills joint so dont expect candlelit tables. There are not that many seats available.

Wonderful authentic Mexican. Not that weird Tex-Mex that pervades NYC. Real tamales, mole with the daily specials, great chorizo. It might look like a little hole in the wall, but the food is divine.

Great little place. This neighborhood has lost most simple authentic businesses like this, I hope Zaragoza sticks around for a long time! Great for a quick taco or burrito when youre not looking to devote the time in or spend the money on a more formal restaurant.

Best place in the neighborhood for Mexican food and very nice people.

Delicious tacos and great Mexican ingredients you can’t find anywhere else in the neighborhood.

Great tacos... in a very unassuming, but family-run, cozy, hole-in-the-wall. Extremely friendly, very helpful, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

If there is one place I will recommend is this place. The food have excellent taste and they treat you like family.

Best Mexican deli in L.E.S.Flautas, tamales and the daily specials. YUM!!A great selection of spices. Need I say more!

Good Mexican basics for home cooking. Their rent is going up and they may have to move so stock up now.

Good little hole in the wall. As a south Texan, the enchiladas were a little dry and there were no refried beans, but they do s great job with the limited resources they have. Theyre also a great one-stop shop for hard-to-find ingredients.

Completely disappointing in every way.

Awesome authentic mexican

I have never missed a chance to stop by Zaragoza when Im home and grab a quick taco in the back. If youre visiting, in the area, or have just never been, you owe it to yourself to stop by, grab something from the counter, and sit down with a jarritos to end the night. Promise youll feel better tomorrow than if you hadnt.

Amazing burritos at this unassuming spot. Not much seating but the food is surprisingly delicious and comes with great portions. Cant wait to go back!

The greatest Mexican food on the lower East Side I believe

Family cafe

Incredible! Way better then basically every Mexican place in the east village

Asked a local where to go for a late night eat, got sent here, ordered the $8 burrito and was transported with one bite. Heart magic soul food of the very singular kind. Saved for future reference.

EDIT:I came back here after 2yrs for the burrito, chicken burrito to be more specific, and it is still amazing!! The price has increased to $9, but thats still cheap af considering everything else. Will be back!!A hidden gem forsure. This place is amazing and has amazing burritos for $8. I got the shredded beef and chicken burritos and they were amazing. The owner is very nice and friendly also. Highly recommend coming here!!

Martinez makes the best burritos in NYC. Delicious flour tortillas, tastefully prepared meat (and intriguing choices -- try goat), and drizzled with unique salsas.Zaragozas is a near literal hole-in-the-wall: its a hallway width packed with Latin American treats in addition to freshly made ingredients. It is the anti Chipotle.Martinez is kind, thankful for your business, and dedicated to serving his customers. Order, take a seat, and pay after.I make a separate trip to eat a goat or chicken burrito when in town (ever since moving). I joined Yelp to leave this review. I gave Martinez a kidney so he could continue his business. (Alright, alright. Just eat here, and be kind.)

The place was there when we were little drunk, and needed decent food like right now! What can be better than a big juicy Burrito? I found what I was looking for right here ;)

Most authentic tacos in downtown manhattan!

COME HERE TO GET A BURRITO!!! $8 for a burrito (of course there are other options, quesadilla and what not). It is delicious and the people are very friendly!

These are the most authentic tacos in town!

When I lived in Peter Cooper Village, this was my go-to spot for tamales. Its family run, and the food is made with love and you cannot beat the prices. Go here and be really happy.

Small place great environment friendly service !!!!

Gosh. Where to begin. The reviews on all other websites do not lie - this is a GEM. Friendly services, delicious eats, and the price is right. Excellent for picking up a late night snack, too!

I love this place. Food is great. the people working there are awesome and super friendly. top spot in NYC!

Amazing. Goat taco is delicious and owner is so sweet

Mom and pop shop with great Mexican fare. Definitely try the salsa verde.

If you want great mexican food than this is the place for you. If you want a place that has great decor and so so food then i would not suggest coming here. Most people have stated that NYC does not have good mexican food. They have not been to Zaragoza.

A gem, especially the burritos. Some meats are consistently better than others

Authentic food & Quick Friendly Service.

Incredibly delicious food and very nice and welcoming staff!

One of the best tacos in the east village. Try the Chipotle chicken, it will not disappoint

True Mexican cuisine including tortas with close-to-real bolillos

Love the food here.

Great burrito and other very authentic Mexican dishes. Mostly take out

Great place for burrito, cheap and oh my so delicious

The best place

Perfect blend of a bodega and authentic Mexican restaurant.

Cheap and cheerful, friendly family service and delicious tacos!

Terrific inexpensive homemade Mexican food.

Amazing tacos! Worth every penny.

Employees were very friendly. Prices were pretty high, but maybe thats just New York...Pastor was awful, tamales and quesadilla were decent (carnitas and chicken).

Found ingredients I needed I could not find at all the other grocery stores in the neighborhood

I give 4 just because store it overprice

The huitaloche quesadilla was quite excellent, the chips and salsa... not so much.

Incredible. Even reviewed by Infatuation.

The Chivo is poppin.

Cheap, delicious, authentic tacos

Good Mexican food

Great hole in the wall for burrito

Tacos were ok

Cheap Mexican groceries in an unexpected location

Goat tacos are the GOAT tacos
