Iztaccihuatl

Normalmente ordenamos comida para llevar, los fines de semana y aunque hemos probado un poco de todo, los sopes de cecina y campechanos nos encantan .las tortas muy completas, solo que el pan me gustaría fuese mas tostado.
El precio ni se diga… simplemente lo justo.

My husband announced that the Mixtos Nachos are some of the best he’s ever had! And we’re from California, the capital of nachos, so that’s saying something! My enchiladas were yummy, too. Delivery was fast and prices were reasonable. Portions are huge!
Only criticism is that the menu could be clarified somewhat. I was expecting something a little different with the enchiladas, based on the menu description. But what I got was tasty, so it’s hard to complain.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I placed an order through Unilocal and called to ensure that the order had gone through, they told me it had and the delivery would take 20 minutes to arrive. I had to call back about 4 times only to hear that the food would take 5 minutes to arrive. After an hour and a half I spoke to a manager and he told me there was nothing he could do, it would be another 5 minutes. It was obvious that they had forgotten my order, yet the manager was not sympathetic at all. Terrible customer service. I ended up cancelling my order.

Ordered delivery on Eat24. The delivery took 30 minutes longer than estimated. When we got the food it was very cold and extremely bland. I will not order from here again. For better Mexican food order from Quetzally which is close by.

A hidden gem!
The ambiance is lacking, but this is perfect for a craving for authentic Mexican food. No need to dress up.
I was there with a group, and there was no wait.
We started with chips and two salsas. The green is mild, and the orange is EXTREMELY spicy. But delicious.
Next our group ordered guacamole, and vegetarian nachos.
The guac was good. It could have been a little fresher– Maybe there was no lime in it? The nachos were BOMB! There were lots of fresh veggies, cheese, crema… perfect for sharing!
Everyone got tacos or enchiladas– and they were great. The sauces were authentic, and the food really was made with love and attention.
This is NOT El Vez, and this is not El Rey. It’s kind of a dive, and not a place to go with lofty aesthetic aspiration. But you’ll get a solid meal.

I love this classy joint. It has a chandelier… and a black light… and Mexican food. I Mexican’t wait to come back!

Terrible. Fajitas had no flavor, just covered in oil. I also got Seafood salad. Shrimp look undercooked and its served on crappy iceberg lettuce. If I was at the restaurant I would send it back. I got take out so my recourse is just to not eat it. I would never get food from there again. I can’t believe it was rated so highly on Unilocal

I ordered delivery because of the great reviews but I was very disappointed. I got a steak burrito, the steak tasted burnt and the «burrito» was mostly dry rice. To meet the delivery minimum I ordered what was labeled as «melted cheese» thinking it was a quesadilla, it was actually a foil pan with a layer of solidified melted cheese. End of story is I spent $ 20 and waited 50 minutes for delivery and I didn’t even eat. Maybe this place is just got for dining in.

I was visiting Philly Yesterday and was in the neighborhood. Saw this restaurant on Unilocal and found good ratings. I went around 6pm on a Saturday. It was quiet. I ordered breaded chicken with a salad. It came with rice, bean paste and tortillas. The portions were huge. John (I think that’s the name) was very friendly. Gave full attention to my order while suggesting some specials. He was courteous and made me feel comfortable. The food was good too. Chicken was tender. Not at all greasy.
While i was finishing my meal there came a bunch of college kids who were given a large table and given freedom to dance to create club feel. John (and the management) really knew creative ways to make money. John made us aware about the arrival of that big group before hand. The menu looked like they have more traditional Mexican dishes.

Ordered delivery on Eat24– we got the nachos mixtos, fish tacos, and tacos al pastor. Delivery came within the promised time and food was still warm. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and the portions were incredible.
However, I have to give only 3 stars because everything, especially the meat really needed to be cooked with more seasoning– overall the dishes just need more flavor. It tasted like all the meat was just boiled, not even with salt and pepper. Although loaded with ingredients, even the nachos were pretty bland. The tacos al pastor were almost perfect, but could’ve used some more pineapple. We will definitely still order again!

This is a great BYOT Mexican place. I came here with a large group of friends a few weeks ago. A few of our friends were running late, so we ordered guac for the table to snack on. I have not seen a bigger portion of guac in my life! They literally brought out 2 troughs of guac, and for $ 6 each, it was a steal. The flavor was pretty mild, but I liked it. They also brought out two different tasty salsas with the guac. We asked for our first pitcher of margarita mixer while we were waiting. The mixer was pretty good, and best part — the mixer pitchers are free! You just bring the tequila.
The menu is extensive, and everything looked good. I decided on the veggie burrito. It was stuffed with beans, rice, pico, and of course veggies. I really liked it. I spiced it up a bit with some of the salsa, and I managed to eat the whole thing even though it was rather large. My friends ordered various things including sopes, tacos, quesadillas, etc., and everyone was very happy with their meals. Throughout the meal we probably had 2 or 3 more pitchers of margarita mix so that everyone had at least a couple margaritas. Everyone left happy!
The restaurant was not that busy because we went on a weeknight. Service was excellent, and our food came out fast. And the prices are astoundingly low!

Much like you are doing, I read the reviews and went «damn, this place looks good». I vaguely remember ordering delivery here before, but you can’t really judge a place on delivery alone. So my girlfriend and I decided to go and give it a try. As soon as you walk in you get hit with that musky basement smell, I mean I love hole in the wall mexican places but this one was odd. It’s a huge space with only like 8 – 10 tables, very weird setup. We came in and walked towards the waitress trying to figure out if it was a seat yourself or we needed her to seat us. She stared at us and pointed behind us, I’m assuming that meant seat yourself.
We took the table behind us and she brought us two menus. That was the last time I saw her for probably a good 8 minutes. She then came over with two salsas (no chips) and spilled the salsa all over the table (I’ve been a waiter before, it happens). Ok so we move to a new table, wait another 3 – 4 minutes and we flag her down to order. Girlfriend got the fish tacos and I got mixtas fajitas, in trying to explain I didn’t want any rice/​arroz I figured out that she spoke no english at all. I tried to ask for a diet pepsi and was met with a blank stare and mumbles. Same went for no rice, I tried to say no arroz without sounding like a gringo, I guess it worked because I didn’t get rice (will get to that later).
Ok food in, still down to one salsa, no chips. We got the FREE (YES FREE) margarita pitcher and the missing chips shortly after. I guess we’ll drink straight from the pitcher because we didn’t get any glasses to pour the mix into.
Fast forward about 20 – 30 minutes (mind you we were 1 of 3 tables there) and the food comes out. I didn’t get rice! YAY! But I also didn’t get any of the other items that came with it, beans, guacamole, mushrooms, etc. I asked for the rest of the stuff and got a scoop of guacamole and beans, I’ll take it. Now I know you can’t expect fajitas to be a mexican staple of great food, but there was no seasoning. Zip, zero, nada. It tasted like they boiled steak, shrimp and chicken with onions and peppers and then put it on the plate. I tried my girlfriend’s fish in hope that it might taste good. Same thing, somehow it had flat top grill marks but tasted like absolutely nothing.
I don’t know how it has such good reviews, the price was cheap and the margarita pitcher being free were great, but that doesn’t warrant any type of return.

I was excited to try this place after reading the reviews.
1^st, only thing that really matters. The food was very subpar. Specifically the tacos. Arrived very dry and unflavorful. The fish was DISGUSTING. Ordered the 10 taco sampler
2^nd, it was for delivery. It arrived over an hour late, only after being chronically lied to about when it would arrive.
3^rd, after all that time, the order arrived incorrect, missing items from our order.
Very difficult to deal with. Won’t order from again.
They hung up on me when I tried to ask about our order and avoided answering the phones.

My girlfriend and I get deliver from here when we’re feelin’ cheap, or when we’re feelin’ fat. It is the BOMB.
The Burrito, especially for the price, is one of the best around. Generously sized, tightly wrapped, and absolutely delicious.
The Chicken Mole Enchiladas are to die for. Authentic mole with that beautiful chocolately flavor, tender chicken, and a ton of food for the price.
And the platters are incredible. For $ 14 you get a feast for 2 … they say it comes with tortillas, and they give you a straight up STACK of delicious tortillas.
The delivery guys barely speak English, but God bless them they delivered me food in a snowstorm. And quickly!
Take a chance on this place. You will NOT be disappointed.

I ordered the chicken chimichanga which was not listed on the menu. The item was very tasty and came with an appropriate amount of pico, rice, beans, and salsas. Price was a little high but it came with an generous quantity.

I wanted to save my 100^th review for a special place. Conveniently, I just went to one yesterday!
I really wanted to take more pictures of the delicious food here to show off this incredible restaurant to the Unilocal community, but most of our food was instantly inhaled long before I ever got a chance to whip out my camera.
If you like great, affordable Mexican food served in generous portions, this is the place for you. If you want to find out what outstanding hospitality in restaurant service looks like, look no further. Come into this establishment on a night when Jon is working. I’ve been to many restaurants, and I don’t think I’ve EVER experienced such great service. He is extremely knowledgeable about the food, very engaging without being pushy, and extremely good at making you feel at home. His menu suggestions were all great.
We started off with the Nachos Mixtos, which had such a generous amount of toppings on top of a generous bed of crispy tortilla chips. We also had the Bistec Iztaccihuatl Platter (steak stuffed with shrimp and crab, covered in cheese and chipotle sauce… sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen, but totally worth it) and the Tacos de Lengua — both of which were very good. It was such a wonderful meal complemented by a free pitcher of margarita mix (BYOB). We were stuffed AND felt like we were still bringing most of our food home. By the end of the meal, I was curious about dessert, but alas, there was no more room in my stomach.
Not to worry, I will be back to try the desserts, and I have no doubt they will be as excellent as the rest of the food.

I’m not feelin’ it. A lot of really great reviews, but ehhh…
The food was okay — but I’d go first to one of the other neighborhood spots that put out really good food. There are plenty of other options. The one thing this place has going for it is the price… but maybe you get what you pay for? Maybe it is better if you eat in-​house, not do take out? I’m not sure.

A cold rainy Saturday called for Mexican take-​out delivered right to my doorstep!
Iztaccihuatl has a pretty large menu so it was tough to me to make a decision but I decided on the Al Pastor Burrito and a side of guacamole and chips. My total came to $ 14.50, so I added a large bottle of water to tip the scale over $ 15 for free delivery!
The delivery man called my cell as I requested when he was out front. My total was then $ 16.20, and he didn’t have change for a $ 20. I planned on giving him all of the change for tip anyway, but it would have been nice if he had the change to offer.
The guacamole came in a pretty large container and a full bag of brown bag of chips. i am so glad that they used the brown bag for the chips, they were just as crispy as they are in an authentic Mexican restaurant. The guac had a lot of diced jalapenos compared to what I am used to, so a few bites were hotter than what I was expecting. Not my favorite guac but still fresh and good. My burrito was also very large and flavorful. It had a little bit of a kick to it, but wasn’t overly spicy. I ended up only eating about half of each because the portions were so big, so I was able to get two meals out of one order! :)

This place has changed from a decent, reasonably priced Mexican tacqueria into quite possibly the worst Mexican restaurant in the city. They have replaced quality food with a WiFi speaker playing music way too loud and gratuitous servings of bad, unordered margarita pitchers (but apparently «on the house» even though we byo’d that bottle of tequila you took to the kitchen… thanks!). Thur to Sat the only option now is a $ 20/​person family-​style meal of dogsh*t taquitos, concession-​stand quesadillas, and the most bland burritos I’ve ever eaten. Never again…
Go to Veracruzana for superior food and environment.
Happy Birthday Steve. Sorry your birthday dinner sucked, although Jon had fun.

Torta Cubana. End of story.
Just kidding, my story starts with a venture into the Bella Vista area on a Sunday night. I was on searching for something other than Vietnamese food. I stumbled upon a restaurant that I can’t imagine pronouncing correctly the first ten tries. I walked in and asked if I could see a menu for take-​out and the gentleman, John, sat me at the bar.
The place is pretty roomy. Nothing fancy here, tables and chairs with Spanish music playing. I asked John for recommendations and he immediately pointed out the Torta Cubana. Before I left, I received a history lesson and learned how to pronounce the restaurant’s name; Ees-​tah-​see-​wah.
This football-​sized sandwich is no joke. I unwrapped the foil and was immediately impressed with the presentation. I don’t know how they did it but they managed to cram 12 ingredients in between two slices of Bolillo bread. What’s more amazing is that each ingredient is layered neatly, and you can see each layer. It looked like a sandwich you would see on TV! Everything about the Torta was excellent. I cannot wait to go back to try the rest of the food at Iztaccihuatl.

I’d ordered out from here a few times before I had the delight of going to the actual restaurant, so I was familiar with the fact that their FOOD IS AMAZING. The menu is expansive and delicious. A few favorites: the hongo relleno (portabello mushroom with crab stuffing! and cheese! it’s creamy and delicious!), nachos mixtos, the enchiladas, their guac, and the chocolate cake (GET THE CAKE).
Tip #1: Bring tequila. Margarita mix is free. I went there recently and arrived before the rest of my friends so the server had mixed drinks and poured shots for everyone before they even stepped foot in the restaurant.
It’s a wild ride of a place. The food is so worth it, as is (in my opinion) the (high) chance you will end up eating your entire meal wearing sombreros. As other Unilocalers have mentioned, the server makes it his personal mission to make sure you are stuffed beyond comprehension with delicious food, and makes you feel at home (home?) in such a bizarre and wonderful way that I’ve never experienced in another restaurant. He’s probably bored, honestly, and restaurant patrons are an easy form of amusement. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I’m not even one for really hands-​on waiters usually, but he is a gem. Even though he can’t speak Spanish, he knows the menu like the back of his hand and will guide you as you will undoubtedly be overwhelmed from the sheer magnitude of choices. Fortunately, everything is so good, you really can’t go wrong.
Tip #2: Be open to wearing sombreros. It might happen.
