“mean why have such i cool place full of bad, very bad staff, to the owner a word of advice, CHANGE THE STAFF COMPLETELY.”
“Let's be honest though, NYC simply doesn't have good Mexican food, so why waste your money on a $13 burrito?”

great neighborhood place. I'm the idiot who posted the last review about the ripoff because TD Bank told me that the charge on my account was El Centro, when it was in fact another bad mistake from TD Bank. Moral of the story, don't bank at TD and eat at El Centro!…
rip off!. I went to El Centro and the next day found out that I had been charged over $3,500 on my credit card for a $46 bill! When I called the restaurant Silvio said it would take a few days to "check it out" when I got furious and demanded that he fix it more quickly he refused to give me the corporate number and told me I would have to wait for a call back. Anyone can make a mistake but three and a half grand?…
average... I have been here twice. The food is good but not worth the price. The service is slow and the waitstaff was incredibly rude.I wouldn?t recommend to anyone.
Saturday 11 October 2008 - Late Lunch - Opposite side of the room‎.
I went to El Centro this saturday (11 October 2008) for a late lunch with a friend, she knew that place and recommended it. I must say that the decoration is really loud, but this is how it is
supposed to be, the food is good and prices quite reasonnable.
I felt like I was actually having my (late) lunch with a very pretty girl sitting opposite to me on the other side of the room. I couldn't resist letting her know that I appreciated her (somehow distant) company and expressed my liking. Although my intention was not to get any phone number, had it been given to me, I would have used it maybe for a (less distant) lunch at El Centro, or alternatively for dinner date in Paris, France. This idea still remains open.

You'll Like If You've Never Had Real Mex. The location is fantastic and the decor is festive, so I really wanted to love this place but the food is average. I am from California and have grown up eating authentic Mexican, and this wasn't it. The chips and guac was sub-par, margaritas ok, and the tacos I had were pretty flavor-less. If I hadn't had such great Mexican food before, I would've liked it. At least it was cheap!…
