Their food is absolutely delicious! Everything is grilled to perfection—the meat is tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. I also have to give them credit for their thoughtful packaging for delivery. They use foil instead of standard covers, which helps keep items like nachos and fries nice and crispy. Not many places pay that much attention to the details!

Yolpaqui never disappoints, food is always fresh, tasty and authentic. they actually serve green avocados on their salads lol (take note nearby restaurants!). finally had the time to actually sit down inside, and it is small and cozy with nice decor They waited on us as they prepped and made their takeout orders, but did not skip a beat. service was friendly food as always fresh and very tasty and very nice plating and did I mention how nice they sliced their avocado, as well as how green and ripe it is?

Zero stars !!Apparently these positive reviews must be from friends or family because they completely fooled me. I’ve been on the island for over 30 years, and I have to say this was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had.

Prices are high and the food isn’t that good. Customer service is mediocre. In addition, they help themselves to whatever tip they feel they deserve days after you visited the establishment. There is a difference between a gratuity fee disclosed on the receipt at the time of charge and I’m going to tip myself to whatever I want from the card you used at our establishment. Absolutely disgusting behavior.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jason Aubry · Jan 2026

The Best Mexican on Staten Island by far. The owner/host is the absolute best, going the extra mile and making you feel at home. Been here 3 times this week. The lava is outstanding also the chimichanga is crazy also the homemade chips with salsa are like nothing I've ever had
