I was lucky to walk in front of this restaurant one day coming back from the nearby post office. It's become my absolute favorite take out/delivery restaurant in East Harlem. I've tried a few options and liked everything better than any other offering in the area. The tortas are my favorite pick. Highly recommended.

Super tasty and friendly people working here. It’s for takeaway only and I arrived on a busy night so there were a few orders ahead of me and just one Mama cooking and another person working. But each order seems to be made with love and attention. I will probably order ahead next time and pickup. More

BEST MEXICAN FOOD in NYC! Authentic flavor and wonderful service. Extensive menu and they are very flexible with orders (I ask for a Birria burrito every time (not on the menu) and they’re always happy to accommodate!) Give this small business a try, you will not regret it!!! More

This place is just amazing. The tacos, burritos, tostadas... soooo good that is hard to pick. And is just not the food! The prices are great and service amazing and fast! I love this place, I found it a couple weeks ago and now I'm having mexican food cravings all the time! More

I ordered two steak quesadillas for take out. I’m highly disappointed to see that there was only a little bit of meat on both. They were very stingy with the meat, just little pieces of it. Im literally having bites of Lettuce and cheese,

Incredible!! I happened to be in East Harlem, walked past La Cocina de Mama, and, on a whim, went in for a quick bite. It was honestly so random, but I’m definitely coming back up here with my partner. I got the happy hour deal (a burrito

This is the second time I order in this restaurant, they have a customer for life. Las quesadillas are magicas! Incredible, it tastes and fills like if I was invited to eat an Mexican friend grandmother house. I have never liked Mexican

Had the birria tacos and conzome that i was craving so much! Amazing and delicious! The service was amazing, the two Ladies at the counter, plus the Chef giving us recommendations. The place is small, but also love the decorations. More

1000/10! Stumbled upon this place looking for a bite to eat and it was probably the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Would definitely always recommend. Restaurant was very clean and the staff were super friendly. Prices were fair, too.

My new go-to neighborhood Mexican spot. I’ve ordered through seamless and pick up. They were both prepared quickly. Torta and tacos (fish, cecina, al pastor, and barbacoa) are all much better than the other places nearby.

Wow, my husband and I had fabulous burritos at La Covina de Mama. E finished our dinner with outstanding tiramisu. The tiramisu was better than midtown Italian restaurants!!! More

Worthless. Ordered tacos which came with very little filling. The meat was dry and flavourless and the cilantro was old and dry. Save your money and go elsewhere. More

Hole in the wall Mexican spot. Food was fantastic. Everything prepared to order which is nice and rare for Mexican places. Reasonably priced. Would eat again. More

Great place,I love it. I am obsessed with their nachos. Large portion for the price and delicious. Best Mexican food I ever at. Order ftom here weekly. More

I've only been here twice but everything has been great here. I got tacos (shrimp, carnitas and chorizo) and chips with salsa & guacamole - all excellent!

Amazing little restaurant with many options of authentic food. Ate here, everyone was friendly and definitley deserve another visit! More
