    This place us by far the best guacamole and chips in town. You can choose hot, medium (we always go for this one) or mild for the guacamole and the chips are always warm. Frozen margaritas is a must!

    They have great deals on Tues. They participate in the local restaurant program #GetLow that gets 20% off your food and they have Taco Tuesdays. Together a meal can cost less than most local fast food

    Come here for their margaritas and their guac! Their flautas are tasty too! This place always gets packed, so try to get there early or make a reservation. Sit out on Stone Street during summer :)

    People tend to come to these places to drink margaritas and tequila shots, and tend to forget food (unless it is guac&chips) but go for the Tampiqueña steak, it is worth it, said the Mexican.

    Dinner for two? Start with chips and salsa trio. Guacamole is unnecessary. Flautas right after, which are my favorite, followed by the Gorditas. Cactus fruit margaritas should be endless throughout...

    I used to live in California and this is the only Mexican I've found in New York that meets expectations (granted NYC prices). Guacamole, fish tacos, chicken mole, fajitas all excellent

    The tortilla soup was really good, their single generous portion of guac is good to share for 2, and their white sangria was pretty good too. I'll def be back here to try their other dishes.

    Its a bit touristy, as it sits on Stone St. in the financial district. But the food is good, think upscale Chevy's. It's about the best quality americanized mexican you can get. no felíz compleaños

    Not the best service but it was busy. Had a very large party and everyone enjoyed the food n drink. Burrito bowl was solid and the Margherita and guacamole were on point.

    Although this place is downtown, nestled in Stone Street, to this day it is the BEST mojito I have had (and trust me, I've had some great ones). The food is great but the mojitos seal the deal.

    Good guac and margaritas if you can manage to stand the tourists, stereotypical Wall St crowd, and equally obnoxious prices.

    Probably my favorite place to eat in the city. The margaritas are a little pricey, but they're strong. Would highly recommend the Mexican Corn. Delicious, $5 & it's easily splittable with someone

    The app portion chicken chimichanga was perfect for lunch. Fun grungy atmosphere, much needed to offset the financial district crowd. Will return!

    Best guacamole in downtown Manhattan. If you like it spicy, ask for extra jalepenos - They can be a bit stingy. Margaritas and micheladas are not to be missed either!

    Margarita on the rocks is seriously incredible: gin and tequila, peppers, musky salt. Tacos and fajitas are equally good and humongo.

    Great guacamole (we got medium) and chips. Bit of a wait for food. Plan to spend at least an 1.5 here. Chicken nachos were delicious.

    Stop by for a $5.00 Margarita between 2:30-5:30 and 1/2 off the BEST guacamole. You will come back for more!

    Before 5:30 Margaritas are $5 and Guacamole is $6 (at the bar). Order the former frozen w/ salt and the latter "spicy", and try to do it from the awesome bartender Paco

    The guacamole is pretty good, just get them to add extra jalapenos and lime juice. The entrees are alright. Chimichanga, quesadillas are delicious but nothing stands out. Everyone should be satisfied.

    Sit outside on Stone Street, NYC's cousin to San Francisco's Belden Lane. Big bonus points for being dog friendly (outside)

    Guac is some of the best I've ever had. Blood orange margarita is sour AND just sweet enough.

    Margaritas are superb here (can't speak for the frozen ones though), fresh lime juice and not too sweet.

    If you ask for a small modification (ex: leave out x ingredient) they'll alter the entire dish and charge you full price without apologies.
