Amazing Tacos, the taste the portions all excellent, I usually get full with 4-5 tacos but this time 2 were enough. Highly recommended this place if you are in search for authentic Mexican food

After seeing and hearing so much rave about this place, I knew it was time to see what the hype was all about and I’m so glad we came to El Cuñao. While staying around Nyack I knew we had to stop here as part of our little food tour and exploration around town. After a cold day of walking around and wanting some chill and relax time, we decided to pick up some take out from them to eat at the hotel we were staying at. It was the PERFECT comfort food we needed on a cold day while we watched tv, hung out and relaxed in our room. It was basically that room servicefeeling feel but better haha because the food was INCREDIBLE and fully homemade. When you walk into this little unassuming hotspot, you know someone’s tia, abuela or mom is making some magic in the kitchen. It’s got such a cozy vibe and just feels like you walked into someone’s house and they’re ready to serve up something delicious and homemade. We ordered some soles and huarache with a delicious Jamaica (hibiscus) agua fresca. Everything was WOW but what truly wowed me was that the huarache was stuffed with black beans. It was incredibly delicious! What left us dreaming (til this very moment) is their delicious smokey spicy red sauce that is absolutely out of this world. I’ve never been to Oaxaca but it made me feel like I did - those flavors took me on an unforgettable taste bud journey that made all of the ingredients pop. Bottom line: yes, GO HERE. You’ll eat some of the most delicious simple, unassuming, authentic Mexican eats. It’s casual, chill and delicious!

Some of the best authentic tacos I’ve had. Family owned and operated, you can tell the quality and dedication that they put into their food. Go support them

The food was awesome! Guac and chips is awesomely seasoned, maduros is pretty appetizing too, and fish tacos was very filling as well! I’d come here again. Only thing that could use some work is the customer service brought to the table being we were the only ones in there at the time. That is why the 4 star. Customer service is everything, when you go out you expect otherwise I could of made these myself at home. The atmosphere does feel like I am not at home. Otherwise, food is great!

Great experience. As we came in we were welcomed by a lovely Senorita. The smell of the food made me more hungrier. I tried the chicken Cascadia . Definitely worth trying after driving pass so much times.

Wow, wow, wow. A very small place but 5 star service. I go across the bridge to eat at this amazing place. Best tacos and best Mexican food over all. Please visit this small hidden gem. You won’t regret it.

The food here is incredible. The chicken mole was so flavorful and the sopes were crispy on the bottom. Best sopes I've ever had. EAT HERE!! You'll be so happy
