Gem in East Harlem with huge portions and delicious food. I got the plant-based burrito (beyond meat with rice, beans, salsa, etc.) and it was delicious. Honestly one burrito was enough for two meals!

Pretty good food especially for the area cause there’s not a lot of non junk food around. A lot of different options or things to order here too. I got the chicken teriyaki bowl and it was pretty good.

I ordered 3 shrimp tacos and they were delicious. A little watery, but the sauce is amazing and shrimp cooked fresh. Place is clean and staff friendly.

I like how cozy this place is. Not so much space to sit but great for a quick bite. The food is delicious and it was prepared quickly.

My friend and I stopped in here for a quick snack. I see they're going for a Mexican Asian fusion thing, but to be honest, I didn't feel like anything was fused very well. My friend and I ordered 3 tacos to share, a Chicken Tinga, Barbacoa, and Korean Bulgogi. The tortillas weren't really tearable, so my friend and I had trouble sharing halves of each taco. They just fell apart when we tried to split them. The chicken tinga taco tasted really good, albeit a little dry. The barbacoa was very fatty and stringy, and somewhat flavorless. Didn't remind me of the barbacoa style I'm used to. The final disappointment was the Korean Bulgogi taco. What a strange taste. I took one bite, and couldn't finish. Just very sweet and unlike any bulgogi I've ever tasted. Also, when we stopped in, a man came in after us and was inquiring about how much a can of flavored water was, but he didn't speak any English. He asked if the people behind the counter spoke French, and they did not. They basically told the man to go away while he was trying to ask how much a water cost. The space inside was clean and there was some benches to eat at. The people behind the counter were nice to us, if not for the man asking about water.

Found this random taco place in Harlem, and I thought it was amazing! We tried the tinga taco, barbacoa taco, and the korean bulgogi taco. I liked all three, but my friend didn't find them to be his favorites. Customer service was excellent. There aren't too many places to sit, but if you go at an off time, it is pretty easy to be able to hang out there. They had some great sodas there too.

We recently had a Shrimp taco, and my wife is quite the critique. Her words were, "I had never tasted a Shrimp taco this amazing." I myself had the teriyaki chicken taco and it had the familiar flavor of Japan. It reminded me of when I spent discovering the world of teryaki and seafood in Japan for few years.This place is recommended and the staff are polite indeed.

Solid food and amazing service! But the guac is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. Charging $8.50 for a small 2 oz sauce cup and chips. To be that’s just robbery but aside from that everything else is great!

DON’T COME HERE!!!! FOOD IS BAD!! They load up your burrito with rice and beans- neglecting the protein portion. I ordered ahead of time over the phone for a burrito, but when I went to pick it up I saw an empty restaurant and my order hasn’t even been started. I would understand if the restaurant just opened for the day and there was a long line of orders , however this was not the case. I made the order an hour after they opened and they accepted it telling me it would take 10 minutes. On top of that they didn’t even properly wrap the burrito tight enough ???????? .. I PROMISE YOU’LL REGRET SPENDING YOUR MONEY HERE

Order two tacos , one teriyaki and one chicken tinga.Honestly the tacos were supposedly hand made fresh but they were both cold , not even warm. The food was a 2/10. Not even real mexican food
