    When this place closed on Franklin I got sad because the food was good and it is one of like two food places open late in the heights. It’s open again on central and I’m glad it’s back. I usually get more Mexican dishes from this place and they are spot on. It’s hard to find good Mexican food on the east coast but this place reminds me a bit of home. Chips are made fresh, tortillas nice and soft, hot sauces and salsas fresh and full of flavor, burrito comes with lettuce and pico inside, and the price is fair. I do wish they had wet burritos ( pretty elusive on the east coast) but so far this is one of the best veggie burritos I’ve had at a non vegan place. Satisfies late night cravings. Then I saw the breakfast menu can’t wait to try!

    Amazing place. You can tell they care about the food and experience they provide. We're not from here, we're from Texas and it's rare to find places like this that taste so good and taste homemade. We don't have a lot of that back home. I highly recommend it!

    The food never falls short! The seasoning and flavors that you experience with this food is out of this world! Always enjoy coming here for a chicken cutlet sandwich and some mozzarella sticks to start! The owners are great and the food is top notch and made with love!!

    Amazing restaurant!! My boyfriend & I arrived almost towards closing, and the kitchen still served us. They got our order wrong ( I asked for a chicken burrito, they gave a steak burrito), and not only did they correct the order, but the chef came out to make sure everything was good. They were warm, receptive, and gave good energy. Love restaurants that give great customer service. Highly recommend!!

    They were located on Franklin St. when we first found it. But they suddenly closed and disappeared. Luckily they came back on Central Ave, and I must say we are very happy. First time in my life that a chicken empanada actually tasted delicious. The chicken cutlet sandwich is a must try and the red snapper in garlic sauce is like eating in DR. Also, what fantastic burrito, we got the chicken and was on point. I plan on trying the skirt steak this weekend.

    The two times I have eaten here and the food has been fantastic and freshly made. They are all nice here! The prices are affordable for the amount of food the give you. I was so pleased with the food and will return often.

    I like grill chicken. The taste is good. And good for people who hungry at night and don't want to cook.

    I love good food, and I love good service. Xpress Kitchen has both. If you're on the run, a steak burrito is perfect and is at a great price point. Please don't change! I depend on you guys for your burrito when I don't pack my lunch to work!!!

    My wife and I along with our two grandchildren stopped in today. We ordered pernil, chicken and pork chops. The food was delicious and well seasoned. Rice and beans were also very tasty. We look forward to our next visit !

    Everything fish related that I've gotten from here so far has been filling and tasty. They don't skimp on the portions. I've gotten shrimp tacos and a fish burrito so far and they've both been great. Very reasonably priced as well, nice spot to keep in mind during the week.

    As a southerner in North Jersey I am hard pressed to find quality-if ANY biscuits and gravy. Their cooking reminds me of home in WV. The potatoes and eggs were good too. Good amount of food for the price. Huge selection and variety. **Edit. While the staff is friendly and food is plenty they did something to the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was once white is now orange. Not sure if it's cheese or spices but I had to dock a star cause the original recipe was so good. Don't have a reason to come back now.

    I ordered chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks. When I got my food I realized my mozzarella sticks looked like chicken fingers nd my changer fingers were hallow. I realized that my mozzarella sticks were made with fish fry breading nd fake cheese that looked creaming and uncooked 😡 not to mention my hard stiff chicken I called them and spoke to a woman who said she will find out what's going on and why this was delivered to me and she never called back . I am so disappointed to spent so much 💰 for something I can't enjoy

    Great little spot. Burrito was good, the rice they used was super flavorful, the tortilla was slightly toasted. Also had the roasted chicken dinner, which was also excellent, great portions.
