Quinton MaJanuary 15, 2015Tortas are TINY imo- damn you manhattan! Going up the street to the taco cart
special of the day fish tacos w a side of esquites... So good!
Great sandwiches. The pickled jalapeños are amazing.- still my fave Mexican in the 'hood but the prices have gone up & quality has changed... such a shame.
Russell HirschornSeptember 22, 2013Solid food well priced a little cheap on the meat in the torta ahogada
Felipe LopezMarch 28, 2013After eating do get the churros!!! Simply delicious and a perfect dessert!
MahaSeptember 7, 2013Awesome agua frescas! I had the guac and tacos - unfortunately mediocre at best.....
Their tacos are top notch but guacamole was meh, not so fresh. Try Mezcalita instead of Margarita.
SuleeSeptember 2, 2013Dry chicken tacos and flavorless shrimp tacos. They ignored us with no line, and couldn't be less pleasant. By the way, we never ordered chix tacos. We asked for a chix quesadilla. Skip this place
Erik HaydenMay 27, 2013Here's a tip. If you haven't ordered yet find someplace better to eat. It won't be hard.
Ligia TottiJune 12, 2018Terrible service. The waiter keep asking if we want more food. When we said we were just finishing our drinks, he sent us to the bar
Mike HopkinsDecember 26, 2014Good steak tacos. Slow service, only filled my water once, after the meal was over.
I've given this place a go a couple times now. Really, not that great. Cheaper but not good quality.
Edgar AlanisOctober 21, 2013The food is tasty, but overpriced for the portions you get. Paid $30 for two people and left hungry.
Wawi LoveJune 21, 2014Sadly, the tacos were a disappointment. Too dry and bland. The cashier was lovely though. Give me the margarita on the house while I waited.
- Hannah GoodearleApril 8, 2019Horrible service. Waited an hour for food and when asked about they were not apologetic or kind. Will not be back.

"One of the better cinemas in NYC (a city that surprisingly has mediocre, often dated movie theaters); also a very broad selection of food and drink."
