Reviews for El Centro in New York, NY
??= Slim entry and crowded seating, but accommodating staff. The food here is consistently excellent, and the drinks are always... fun. Great outdoor vibe, though indoors gets quite loud. Read more
This is one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. The margaritas are always terrific, service is friendly and the food is... tasty. The most reliable restaurant in the hood. Read more
We ended up here while walking in the area m, trying to find where and what to eat. I saw they had Chilaquiles and marched our... way to them right away, after giving them a call. We were greeted by a extremely cordial waiter, that I can't sadly rememberhis name and luckily he was our waiter for the evening. I ordered Chilaquiles because that was what lured me into El Centro, mysister ordered the same. Boyfriend and mom had fajitas, one steak one chicken. Everything was delicious, the meats were allcooked perfectly, they enjoyed their fajitas a lot. I also enjoyed the Chilaquiles but it wasn't quite what I expected... theChilaquiles were supposed to be cooked in a mix of green and red sauce, according to the menu, but it tasted more like theypoured vodka sauce instead, which I also like but was left desiring to try the green and red sauce instead. Other than that,everything was excellent and food was flavorful. I had the best Piña colada ever here!!! It wasn't a frozen one, which I foundweird at first but it was packed with so much flavor!!!! I've had plenty of Piña Coladas, in many different restaurants, barsand even different countries, but theirs was the best I've had!!! I would definitely come back for more!!!! Read more
This place was recommended to us by a local a few years ago by a local and everytime we visit NYC it's a must visit. Food is... great, service has always been good for us, it's nice to sit outside and eat and watch the world go by. Read more
I have struggled to find a good Mexican spot in the city! We loved El Centro. Nachos: 5/5. Smaller than I would have liked but... the chicken was cooked perfectly! The guac and jalapeños were a great touch. Pork Burrito: 4/5. The pork was a little overcooked. But the portions were huge! Great service, very quaint, and great if you don?t need something over the top. Read more
Great place! Came here late at night for a light bite with friends after going to dueling pianos across the street. Our waiter... was fantastic, service was quick, and the tacos and sweet potato fries I had were delicious. Read more

Had a delicious meal here and sat outside on the street as the temperature was nice on an October evening! Our server was very... good and helpful, suggesting options for us and he resolved an issue right away that we had when something accidentally andweirdly got in our food from the kitchen - a label uncovered when I was digging in! He replaced that particular meal and gave usan extra serving of another meal free of charge to appease that. Lovely little place too with mouthwatering mexican dishes. Read more
