This restaurant is really awesome. The staff is really friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious, seasoned very well and the portions are generous. They have a fully stocked bar and have some of the best specials in the area. I went during the day for lunch but I would absolutely love to come here again and experience how it is at night. The entire restaurant is immaculate! Please look at my NY steak tacos.. they looked like they came out of a magazine! Everything was amazing! I would drive through 3 boroughs to get to this restaurant! Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Atmosphere: 5 Seating type: there is an outdoor seating area and plenty of seating inside. There is also a bar area. This place would be great for all groups sizes! Vegetarian options: they have some good vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: the staff is very accommodating Parking space: there is no dedicated parking space Parking options: there is a lot of parking in the area

Wow! Great service for Taco Tuesday! The place was packed but the staff was ON TOP OF EVERYTHING! Drinks kept coming as soon as they were ordered as well as the tacos. I was really impressed by how quickly everything came out and everything consistently tasted great. Good bang for my buck. My favorites were the carnitas taco and tamarind margarita *chef’s kiss*!!!

Holy crap, this is the best place to go for Mexican food in all of NYC. Thanks to "Pandita" for recommending this place. I loved it. I ordered some "agua chiles" and wow, they were delicious. Big shout-out to Mayra; her service is incredible, she's quick, she has a big smile, and she's attentive.

I came here with my parents because we thought the food was going to be amazing because of the advertising in social media saying the food is good here. We traveled all the way from New Jersey to see how good the food was without checking the reviews through google first… My dad ordered the Pineapple Juice Jalapeño Mezcal and it looks nothing like the presentation from the menu. When my dad tasted it he described the flavor as too acid like if it was vinegar with ice and had no flavor. Once the food came in my dads tacos you can see in the picture the cilantro looks spoiled and not fresh. He said the meat of the taco tasted old and was flavorless. In my order of Birria tacos for some reason it included that specific onion in which I’ve eaten in Dominican dishes and not Mexican dishes (you can also see in the consome the cilatro was bad too). In my moms tacos her tortilla was soggy because of the amount of water from the meat. Also aside from that this restaurant needs to fix the presentation on the server. The server looks very unprofessional and looked like she was going to the gym with a crop top and shorts that were nearly revealing her butt and looked vulgar… This atmosphere from the server did not feel family friendly and more like hooters because in my opinion as a restaurant that would want to professionally represent themselves they would not have someone wearing revealing clothes serving the clients. There is so much space for improvement in this restaurant. Including the music did not really have any Mexican representation in it but more of Dominican representation. Also we aren’t sure if they included the tip in the food we ordered and according to the reviews they do charge tip but we did not see anything about the tip. And if they did include the tip then this place scammed us because we did not want to leave extra money. As always this isn’t to point out the bad or negative but to demonstrate what IMPROVEMENT there needs to be!! Every small thing counts to make clients happy to come back to eat at this place. The decorations of the restaurant is very nice. ps: Although my dad ordered that drink the waitress noticed he didn’t like it (because he didn’t finish it) and she said she can’t take it off the check bill but she can switch it for something else and my dad rejected the offer from the disappointment of the flavor.
