I have gone here like 4 times now and every time it has been amazing! The food is so good and they give you so much food. The place is little but they can fit as many people as you need. Overall it’s a great restaurant.
Place is gas. Used to go here all the time when i lived in the neighborhood but still try to make the journey up every now and then. Great drinks and great food, never had a bad time there
Delicious food, beautiful family! They set up a table for us on the sidewalk / we had $8 margaritas and shared the red mole burrito/ this was my favorite experience eating out in NYC. 10/10

I enjoyed the steak plate. The chicken and al pastor I tried was rubbery. The beans were bland and the rice lacked the rich flavor that Mexican rice typically has.
It's still good but the quality is less than Taqueria y Fonda. The enchiladas, now $20 with not enough mole sauce, used to be $12 with plenty of delicious sauce. The chicken in the quesedilla special had some gristle.

Got the worst burrito ever (baby burrito). It wasn’t even fully wrapped, it was open on both sides; that’s not a burrito, right? The asada was not seasoned. The rice was crunchy. $13.75 was a robbery.

There was hair on my food!!! The guy on the phone tried to make me another one which I insisted I want a free taco next time I order. Also they charge absurd prices for dishes that lack a lot of flavor it used to have, the rice is dry and almost everything lacks flavor. And lastly they are liable for lying about food prices. I ordered a agua de Jamaica once and added in notes for an extra large after calling the store if they could do that, never told me there would be an extra charge. I order again and then I call on to why I didn’t get what I last ordered and he told me it’s $14 for an extra when I didn’t pay that price last time. This place is genuinely a scam, never coming back here again.
