Cool Restaurant that I found via google to take my daughter to brunch. They offered unlimited mimosa, margaritas and sangria. I got the unlimited option and my daughter just got the entree with a canned soda (that cost $4) Con: When I walked in it smelled weird because the workers just mopped. The mop was not clean so it left an unpleasant odor lingering. The waitress was very attentive.

I don't want to be mean or rude, but I can't think of any reason to try Mama Taco again. Shredded beef in my dish was entirely overpowered by the cinnamon (or star anise, maybe?) it was braised with; chimichanga wrapper undercooked; my wife's salad served without dressing, and shockingly overpriced; chips were decent, but the pico de gallo we had to purchase separately wasn't. It just felt like the cooks were busy doing something other than attending to the cooking.

Food was okay, could’ve been a bit more tasteful. Perfectly represented when given to me. Flan was not tasteful at all and texture was hard. Photographer that was there, smelled horrible and had all upstairs smelling bad. I love the environment and will give it another try.

Went here for brunch on a Sunday at 12pm, it was 7 of us and nobody else was there. We waited like 1 hour just to get water and drinks. When we finally got our food which took 1 hour n half and it was cold. When the waiter was taking our order and did not even ask how we wanted our eggs to be done we had to tell her. I asked for hookah she goes the guy who does not does not come in until 2pm oh wow really but the guys that are here I will ask if they can do it for you but it's not guarantee ummm okay she never got back to me about it. We end up leaving like 2pm because the service was horrible, I been here before but during the week and the service and food was way better I just don't know why brunch was different. I definitely won't do brunch again just regular dinner.

Those oxtail empanadas!!!!!!!! Whew?? the staff were so personable, from the bartender to the owner who rolled up his sleeves to help the kitchen when it started to get hectic on a Friday night. I’ve been singing their praises to everyone since my first visit. It’s time for expansion my friend. Kudos to your success!

delayed, a horrible smoke; The music was extremely loud, the food has been damaged a lot, they serve it incomplete, I ordered some Jalisco tacos, and they didn't have the consommé, onion or cilantro. Very unpleasant ??

Food taste great , BUT they DO NOT DELIVER & now they have this NEW RULE , YOU CANOOT ORDER THROUGH THE PHONE, which is ridiculous and very inconvenient, what type of food business don’t take phone orders, not to mention I’ve been a client of this establishment for years and they JUST implemented this … I stopped ordering unfortunately to have to go order my food and wait for it there is a turn off Specially when the place is almost always full and it’s uncomfortable to be sitting amongst drunk people just waiting for you food because they won’t take phone orders! The food is good but not that good.

Love the food and drinks the spicy margarita was everything and they played a lot of good music as well
very cool vibes, the music was good. I came on Valentine’s Day, there was a set menu so I couldn’t really choose from many options. It was 80 per person. The appetizers was okay for me, I had chips and guac. The chips and guac was good, my girlfriend had the chicken empanadas because the oxtail ones were not on the menu. The main course came with the appetizers at the same time after being there an hour. And even when it was fresh some how it was cold. It’s not a bad place I think it was just an off night. I’ll try it again just to be sure. But we paid about $220 with our drinks and overall my first impression of the place is like a 2/10. The staff is very friendly please don’t get me wrong but the efficiency was bad. My reservation was it 7:45 I didn’t receive my food till 8:40 and the hookah took about 35 minutes. I’m not sure if they do a valentines special every year but this one was peculiar. I honestly came for steak tacos but I came on the wrong night. The music was the best part the dj had really good transitions.

Cozy spot in the uptown Manhattan area serving yummy tacos and tasty drinks. The flavored margaritas were really good and had a nice punch. The vibe was cool. The service was great. The staff were friendly and attentive to all the patrons in the restaurant. Will go again
