    We stopped by for a quick lunch before the Met. Really wasn't expecting much from a place that serves 3 different cuisines, but was honestly pleasantly surprised. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, and it was overall well put together. Well seasoned, flavorful, with a super well toasted rye. I just wish it wasn't a triple decker; way too much bread for the amount of filling. The fries were also super super good; thick cut, but super crispy, with a really tender inside. We also got a chili burger, with the chili being surprisingly good. Service was relatively slow given that we were the only customers, but it is just one chef. Overall, will stop by if in the area and need a quick fix!

    Two for $8.90 made to order. Pork American cheese and lettuce. 08/17/21

    Burger 1 is a familiar business name to me. I never tried it because I thought it was just burgers. I've seen this Taco place for years and years. It's very small inside and the scaffolding hides it. I didn't know it was Burger 1. I've been passing by recently and today when my lunch plan fell through I went in for Taco Tuesday. It's really like an old school Mom and Pop place. I could order my tacos anyway I wanted. I eat very plain and the spice in the pork was just enough zip for me. I added American Cheese and shredded lettuce. The tacos were double shells of corn. They both felt heavy in the bag. I went outside and found a table nearby. They sure hit the spot after a busy morning. I'm recommending you try this place. The menu is very extensive. The menu is posted on the front of the business outside and inside above the grill. Check it out. It was more money than I would pay for a meal like this but it's worth it for fast friendly service with fresh food made to order!

    Grilled Cheese Sandwich - very good
    Melissa P.

    We ordered delivery and ordered the following: -grilled cheese: this was really good, the perfect amount of butter and cheese and the price was so reasonable. Finally, a restaurant in the city that doesn't overcharge for a grilled cheese. -philly cheesesteak: this was good, but it could use more steak and melted cheese. There is a ton of bread, but not enough filling. The fries that came with this were amazing though. -chocolate shake: this was great. It wasn't melted upon arrival despite how hot it is outside. Overall, I would recommend this place.

    Great prices for nyc but sort of bland taste! Burger was an ok size and accompanied it with an egg sandwich for $3 to fill me up and meet $10 CC minimum

    It is a cold Sunday afternoon and this place has only take out. The burger looks good and because of their have no seat so I take the burger back to my car and eat inside. The burger taste delicious but I wish they have seats outside.

    YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD GREASY SPOON/ HOLE-IN-THE-WALL DINER... it's a real shame that i don't live nearby! i was lured in with an KGB deal! (which stated that lunch was take-out only BUT the workers were so accommodating they let us sit-in!) 8 oz burgers, mexican food, sandwiches, pastries, breakfast-fare (all typical of a joint like this!) -----THEY CUSTOMIZE BREAKFAST BURRITOS: i had a LONG list of ingredients & they were glad to fill my order! sausage (the breakfast link ones i love!), onions, jalapenos, cheddar, eggs, and mushrooms... YUM although it was much smaller than i expected! -----8 oz cali burger: like the sear & meat texture, although the meat was kind of bland! there's only a few counter seats facing the kitchen & along the opposite wall, so i can imagine the workers developing a relationship with their customers! NOTE: call before you come in because I think they close early if business is slow!

    Carnitas taco
    Heather G.

    Mexican and burgers...TOGETHER?!?!?! K sure. Total hole in the wall with a tiny dining area comprised of two rather short counters. Burger was delicious, although if you put avocado on anything I'll eat it without complaint, so even if the burger was less than stellar I'd have enjoyed it, ha. Fries were above average for a burger place, and cooked to order so they were blistering hot and crispy. The taco was typical authentic Mexican street taco style, although $2.75 is a little high for what it was (usually I pay about $2 for the same thing, but given that this is the city and not Long Wharf in New Haven or the podunk little Mexican place by where I work in suburbia Connecticut, I suppose I get it) The green hot sauce is no friggin joke, if you're a wimp on the spice scale, forget it. Cilantro and onions were aplenty, which makes me super happy. Carnitas were delicious too. If you're in the area and are jonesing for a burger, eschew Shake Shack and walk the few blocks here. No wait, and more food for the same price. (Also when an ethnic type food joint is actually frequented by people of that particular type, always a good sign and testament to the food.)

    Carnitas Burrito with avocado, shredded mozzarella cheese, rice and baked beans.

    A very small, discreet, hole-in-the-wall place about the size of a one-car garage that has only one line cook and one cashier. Barstools seat about 8-9 people: 4-5 at the counter and 4 by the mirror opposite (the stool in the corner is anchored to the floor). The seating arrangements feel cozy when there is no line to order, but prepare to surrender all of your personal space when there is. Ordered a carnitas burrito for $6+ at 2 PM on a Saturday afternoon while visiting the Met. I enjoyed the soothing hum of electric fans and Spanish-language news while waiting. Filling but not heavy, my burrito was roughly the size of a Chipotle burrito and contained sliced avocado, baked beans, shredded mozzarella, and rice. Credit card minimum: $10.

    Maybe more like 3.5? Had a craving for a juicy burger and was at least satisfied here. Ordered an egg on top, which I preferred would of been over-easy but came out hard (maybe I should've specified). Burger was juicy/greasy but could of used a little more flavor. Nice plain bun to soak up some grease. Prices are increased from the pics on here, I believe it was about ~$12 for a bacon cheeseburger with egg no sides (not deluxe with tomato, onions etc). Seems like a good local spot though with a bunch of regulars passing through.

    Cinco de Mayo landed on my radar when a bunch of us at work were looking for a place to grab some…read morelunch. We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

    First time here - pretty solid meal with decent pricing as well…read more I got the cinco de mayo plate which came with beef. Good lunch portion and it was also pretty tasty. Also got guacamole and chips as a side - which was on the smaller side given the price. All in all it's a good lunch option in the city!

    I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.

    What a GORGEOUS space. Whoever interior decorated this restaurant deserves their tens because it is…read morea spectacle. I had only seen daytime pics, but being there in the evening is a treat. If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
