About
Mexican food in East Harlem doesn’t need to mean a sit-down marathon. Guajillo keeps the plates coming fast, which is handy when you’re grabbing a quick bite between subway stops or killing time before a late-night train. The spot on 1st Ave—2277 1st Ave, New York, NY 10035—dishes up the usual suspects: tacos, enchiladas, and enough comfort food to make the fluorescent lights feel irrelevant.
They pour beer, cocktails, and hard liquor, so the happy-hour crowd has options. Coffee shows up too, though most people come for the late-night plates rather than a morning jolt. Solo diners slide onto stools without fuss, and the menu stays open late enough to cover whatever craving hits after midnight.
Ring them at (929) 243-2277 if you want to skip the wait. For directions, pull up the map: here’s the pin. East Harlem’s sidewalks don’t sleep, and neither does this corner.
