“Great taco selection for brunch with the tortillas being the start of the show. I thought the cocktails were even better and made fresh with a bunch of variety. Recommend making a reservation just to keep things easy but was pretty casual during a Saturday afternoon. One regret was not trying the doughnuts ?“

“Ive been here a couple of times and as a LA native, this place definitely makes tacos that remind me of home. There is only outdoor seating so I would keep that in mind if you plan on visiting during colder weather. But The tacos were delicious and I got way more queso and chips than I was expecting. They were sold out the last time I stopped by so that should give you a good idea of the quality of the food.“

“We came here on the recommendation of a friend and even with her glowing review, we were still blown away! Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were a steal. Our family had the truffle quesadillas, the carne asada tacos, and the langosta tacos. We shared an order of guac and the kids had the flan and churros for dessert. Great dinner; we can't wait to return!“

Consistently good? ??☺️“

“Great food at a good price for NYC. Small place to sit, there's only a handful of stools by the window... There is also an outside dining space. Burrito, taco, quesadilla... Solid options.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available.Dietary restrictions: Not as readily available, you may want to call ahead and ask.Parking: Very hard to find parking. Take the subway or walk.Kid-friendliness: Best for take out or sit outside.Wheelchair accessibility: Delivery or takeout maybe better.“

“I just returned from spending a few months in Texas, and I was craving some Tex-Mex. This place is incredibly friendly and has a very relaxed atmosphere—much preferred over Yellow Rose in LES. The two bartenders are also very friendly and were cracking some funny jokes. The food was good; I guess they probably adapted it for New Yorkers' palates, which makes sense. I loved the prickly pear frozen margarita, just so good! I'll definitely come back!“

“The food is good and the delivery is great. You can except your food to be delivered quickly. The only thing is that the women who takes your order over the phone doesn’t speak or understand English. My orders are always wrong. Either she forgets to pack my sodas or I’m missing things. Make her repeat your order always!!“
