Came here for lunch before a show at Everyman since Charro Negro in Lexington Market was closed at 1 PM on a Saturday. The taco deal looked great so we split 2 orders of 4 tacos and each had a carne asada, pollo, lengua, and barbacoa. The standout stars to me were the lengua (fatty, perfectly cooked, would order 4 tacos of just this if I were by myself) and the pollo (shredded chicken breast in a sauce, moist). My husband liked the carne asada equally well, but I felt it was a bit overcooked and not as pleasant as the lengua, which my husband did say was the best lengua he had had (he's not a lengua fan). The thing I would say to avoid is the barbacoa. It was dry and tasteless, it was clear it had been cooked at too high a temp, cooled and shredded dry, and then put in a flavorless red sauce. The sauces were solid, the verde was especially good. Right now, this is in my top three taco joints in the city, behind Sabor del Parque and Cinco de Mayo Dos. Give it a try if you are by the Hippodrome or Everyman, it's definitely better than Taco Town (sorry, Taco Town, you have your place).

I tried this place last Monday and was happily surprised. The food was great and the price was reasonable. The only complaint is that thier bathroom was a mess.

The place was nice, unfortunately the outside neighborhood does not help. But, their food is actually good! I had a steak burrito and Tres Leches cake which was great. The workers have a great attitude and helpful. I'd recommend for a quick stop.

This was my first time eating their food. I ordered the floutas meal. It came with yellow rice and beans (mostly liquid) and 6 floutas with lettuce, jalapeño cheese and sour cream. I suggest that they put more chicken in the floutas. It ate mostly shell. I also suggest that they add more acidity in this dish. The jalapeños were a fine choice but there needs to be more. I think a pico de gallo would have worked better because it would had the acidity and sweetness that is needed to balance the savory of the dish. Also there needed to be some sauce. A red or green sauce other than sour cream. The food was subpar. The floutas were crunchy for the most part but the chicken was consumed by mostly shell and the lettuce seemed slightly old and no freshness. The service was good. They were friendly and informative and it only took 5 mins for my order to be done. The ambiance was nice. Mexican music played in the back ground and there were 3 tables to sit and eat. I wouldn't order this item again unless they give more chicken, also more acidity and sweetness via pico de gallo and or some sauce and a fresher green.

Ordered a steak burrito, ate half and threw the other half away. Steak was over cooked, unseasoned. There was not any flavor to the food at all, extremely bland!

Definitely would come back to get tacos. We ordered 8 tacos in total. The Al pastor was extremely flavorful and was the bet of all of them. Chicken was flavorful and juicy. Carnitas was the Least flavorful. Like 0 taste. Sauce is mandatory. Barbacoa was overcooked and a little hard to chew also . Not very flavorful Steak was good. Well seasoned even tho it was overcooked Chorizo has a slight kick and was crispy. Some of the best tacos I've had in the area. Minsaw the fajitas go by and while dramatic it smelled Amazing. Might venture outside of tacos next time. Space inside had a few tables and was cute over all and the food came out quickly. Give it a try if you are in the area! Happy tacoing!

really great tacos. Corn cake tastes good, beef and chicken as well. This is the first time that I've ever think taco is delicious.

Stopped by before a show at the hippodrome, really satisfied. Genuinely good birria tacos with a perfectly balanced consume. We also had sopes - slightly crispy corn base with well cooked and tasty meats on top. I really liked the beef one. We finished it off with churros which only needed some kind of dipping sauce!
