The fish tacos are great. Stay away from the beef ones though. Not a fan of their "quesadilla".
Mike ShermanFebruary 27, 2017
Decent...For NYC. Horchata is very good.

Love the Mexican Corn and Soft Steak tacos!
Santi AmayaSeptember 22, 2015
The pitcher or half-margarita/half sangria are nothing to get too excited about... Not worth the higher price point. All the tacos on the menu are incredible!

The specialty margs are amazing!

Great food and ambiance, but the service is aloof at best. More interested in hanging out with each other than taking care of the guest...

Get the white sangria- it's super refreshing!

Usually crowded. Terrific molè.
Raju NarisettiMay 27, 2013
It is stunning how people seem oblivious that it failed its NY kitchen test, appealed for two months and only managed a B. It must be an awful kitchen to end up with a B. Cheap and tasty, but healthy?
Lauren SmithMarch 17, 2019
Don’t skip the guacamole 😋
Bridget GaelJanuary 14, 2018
Guacamole & brunch options!
