    Let's give this a go!
    Alyssa D.

    The 5 stars are for the food exclusively! This place is a hole in the wall in Hell's kitchen, and it's so easy to miss. My bf took me here and I looked at him like ummm...sir what?? But you can't judge a book by its cover and let me tell you why. I haven't had a Chimichanga in like, 6 years. Dude. It was a daily special, but that ish was fuegooooo. Definitely a truer authentic vibe than Chipotle hands down (with much more options)! The food is reasonably priced and just downright good, and that's why 5 stars was the way to go. Now this is more of a you order your food and you sit down on your own kind of place cause no one serves you. As for the restaurant itself...let's just say it's a true hole in the wall. No bells and whistles, nothing fancy but there is outdoor seating and Spanish soap operas that play inside. It's not cute and it's cramped with boxes around, but ya know what, in a spot like this it just doesn't matter. The food's good and that should stay the main highlight of this review. On Site: --Bathroom (don't worry, it's not gross at all. It's giving gas station vibes though) --Outdoor Seating --Fridge of different drinks

    Carnitas Burrito

    Great burrito. Great price. It's a small restaurant but big on good food. Great service too. I got the carnitas burrito and it was very good.

    The store front is not necessarily hard to find, but if you're walking up 9th, you'll see a big sign on the deli pointing to it. Normally my "phone eats first" but the food was so good that I forgot to take a picture! As an appetizer, I got the chips with guacamole and salsa. I could eat that guacamole with a spoon! I also got the Chipotle Burrito, which was so big that I could barely handle with two hands. My favorite part was the chicken which was really juicy and well seasoned. The workers were really friendly and helpful! They gave great recommendations for the food. Near the counter where you order there is a water dispenser. I mention that because I would not have seen it unless it was pointed out to me and would have ended up buying a water bottle.

    Today I order vegetable with fried fish and my order was a mess.. send it back two time and they send me only onion with green pepper, because that was the vegetable.. I always have a problem with the lady because she send what she want.. I spend $18 on my food..

    Not bad! Stumbled into here sorta by chance because we were looking for something quick and BYOB specifically before heading over to watch Freestyle Love Supreme at the Booth Theater. For vegetarians this place is yumm! It mostly does take out but there is seating for ~10 people on the side. The service was friendly and the space was clean - acceptable and cozy. I had the acapulco burrito and my brother had the quesadilla grande - which was essentially the same dish except my burrito had some verde sauce on top. Loaded with lots of mexican rice/beans/cheese this meal is hearty and really hits the spot if you super hungry. It's a cheap eat but a good one!

    There's a lot of Mexican restaurants that are similar to this hole in the wall in Hell's kitchen. I used to work on 11th Ave and 46 so I've tried many of them. This place is OK if you're in a hurry, but the food is nothing special. The menu is pretty limited. Seems like they recently changed it to offer more gringo friendly items such as burritos, burritos, burritos. If you're not in a rush and want to find someplace great you'll come back to, keep looking. But if you want a taco and then hit the road, it will do.

    So good!

    So, my teenager (if you've read any of my reviews, you know that majority of the places we go are to appease him) loves any kind of burrito. Plus, he eats a lot. So goals in life are how to feed him, fill him, on a budget. Came here because we heard burritos were great and cheap! Store front was simple, a couple of tables and chairs to sit in, nothing flashy. You order at the counter, where there are so many amazing sounding options on their menu. I went with the Santa Fe burrito, the portobello was perfect in the burrito, not taking anything away from the steak!. Teen ordered chimi burrito and gave it a thumbs up!

    Grilled Chicken Burrito
    Laura M.

    The biggest burrito I've ever had, and quite possibly the best! The chicken was so flavorful, and all the add ins in the burrito were the perfect ratio. Affordable too! Loved the side of salsa that came with the tortilla chips. So fresh and authentic tasting. Would definitely order again.

    This place has the best value for Mexican food. It's a hole in the wall and you can easily walk pass it at blink of an eye. I ordered the carnitas enchiladas with red sauce and chicken flautas..it came to $24. Other places up the street would cost me at least $37+. The food was delicious. This has become my favorite go to spot when I'm in NYC.

    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.
