Karen Deli

Food is affordable
Lunch is $5 or $7

I like places like Karen Deli. Fresh food made with love. And the best part: It cost you a redicilous price. From first time I was here I became a regular, and will continue to come here as long as the food is so good.

Everything was fresh and all the can tops were clean...A HUGE PLUS!!
I had a sub and it was huge! I couldn't finish it in one sitting. I would recommend this deli to all my friends

GUATEMALA ????????
Eat the World NYC review:
In 2011 when we first visited, this back of grocery kitchen was churning out mostly Mexican food with a couple items from Guatemala and Honduras. In more recent times, the focus has become more on Guatemala, with daily guisados and a specials board with food from the country. A large mural now looks over the expanded dining room, a love letter to the homeland that many folks in New York City miss so much. On a recent night, we had the hilachas, a sort of beef stew that you do not often see cooked here in the city as it is more of a dish made at home.

Not sure what’s up lately with this place, the ordered food is less succulent as compared before and prices increased. It was good while it lasted.

Previous review: this concept, it's like an ethnic themed 7-eleven combined with a small restaurant in the back that serves up fresh food.

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, a platter of 3 tacos, a bag of chips, and a bottle of hot sauce runs less than $10. You can also dine in, though I ordered mine to go. Quench your thirst on one of the many tropical juices in the fridge, coconut, guava, pineapple to name a few varieties.

Cooking enthusiasts will be able to find Mexican spices, ingredients, and brands to cook yourself, they have shelves full of items. At least 3 brands of hot chocolate chunks, several hot sauce varieties, salsa ketchup, salsa, shelves of corn tortillas, beans, sardines, and other canned goods.

They are open pretty late which is sweet if you're getting back from the City and find that you need some milk.
