4/17/24 first time here. We came for brunch, 8 of us ... We sat at the bar & we were the only ones in the place at 10:30am on a Wednesday... (Not a surprise). So given those conditions, service was good and friendly, the food and drinks were really good and the prices are very reasonable too!I had the Morning Burrito and it was really good, the potatoes were nice and not over cooked. Chips n salsa are good, the little sauces you get are nice, the green is not hot at all, the red has some heat to it and it's a nice flavor too, try the little red one if you like hot.Others had huevos rancheros and liked it. It did look good and I'll get that next time.So we will be back!Parking: Street parking - very difficult at times. Best to take the 7 train.

Generally good, but the waitress (she was like a manager or something like that) serves very forcefully and so you don't feel comfortable.Food and drinks 9 out of 10 ?

I have always gone to eat at this place I love the food, but the service is terrible, the waitresses are not attentive to their tables and they treat you as if they were doing you a favor, for that reason alone I will not return to this place I do not recommend it for the reason service they provide. I hope they change personnel or train them very well.

Food is good but my complaint is the waitresses put in their own gratuity for service that you literally need to chase them down for. As waitresses they do a horrible job. Do takeout if you want but I don’t suggest you dine here. Had a $45 bill and the waitresses put in a gratuity of $10 as their tip. Plus taxes and then add an extra charge for using your debit / or credit card. I don’t like the feeling of being ripped off or forced a tip for service that’s below deserving. $45 worth of food and the final bill was $62. This is a local spot and not even high end places operate like this.

The food is very good but the attention of the waitresses does not deserve even $1. It's really bad that if the boss sees this he should fire them because because of them he will lose customers and the business on top of that.

The truth is very bad service from the waitresses, they should change staff because the truth is they don't deserve to work there

Mexican dishes and full bar with friendly efficient service. We enjoyed the Acapulco and the Mar, Tierra, and Aire platters. Generous portions.

Only really went here once so far, not going to talk about the service or anything as a factor for my review but I did genuinely think it was fine and there was a small language barrier but it was absolutely not an issue at all. The place was clean, nicely lit, our food came out at what I felt like was a decent place considering how many things we ordered, I really like the fact that we were able to try so many dishes especially as someone who enjoys variety and goes to a lot of AYCE places, I'd say for the price the variety and quality were really high. I liked the guac on everything we ordered it really tasted fresh, the chips and salsa (WWOW THE SALSA WAS GOOD) at the start really did set up the whole experience to be fantastic. I don't really have anything bad to say or anything that would take off a point, maybe I didn't like the churros as much as someone else but try them!! I don't think I had a single bad menu item here.
