I grew up in LA, and this place reminds me of home 😍 Get the enchiladas suizas - authentic and delicious!Upvote8Downvote
Rebecca Ahrens-DiamondJune 27, 2013The food is fantastic! Being from San Diego I'm really picky and this place is the closest I've come to decent CA style Mexican food! Cheese enchiladas! Slooooooow service but worth the wait!

Ryan PaulMay 11, 2019Solid CA style Mexican food in the heart of Manhattan with low key, good vibes. Come for the strong drinks and stay for the tamales or enchiladasUpvote1Downvote
Taquito platter! This place has been here for over 25 years, which says it all. Lovely savory rice accompanies nearly every dish. Relaxed ambience.UpvoteDownvote
Yay! Authentic Mexican food in Manhattan...a rarity. Salsa, guacamole, & chili relejno burrito all kick ass. Margaritas are tasty but not strong at all. Still, a great spot for post-work food & drink.UpvoteDownvote

The jalapeño margarita is SPICY, so be prepared with some water nearby to cool off your mouth.Upvote1Downvote

Andrew FurmanMarch 29, 2015Not the same as being in LA, but still pretty freaking good. I got the carnitas tacos, and they were great.

Justine ArrecheDecember 3, 2014Veganize your veggie burrito with no cheese or cream. Add instead the tofu-sour cream and plenty of hot sauce. Don't forget your margarita!UpvoteDownvote
Shayan SanyalSeptember 22, 2017The roasted pork tacos are great. The silver patron margaritas are on point
