    Tacos (Carne Asada) (Birria)

    We stopped for a quick bite to eat as we walked to the Museum. The truck is modern and clean. The man explained his menu and the different levels of heat they offer. We only opted for 2 tacos, one crane asada and one birria. The Birria taco was delicious and packed with flavor. The carne asada lacked a bit of flavor but wasn't bad

    Stopped by here on my way to a friend's birthday gathering and I really enjoyed my meal! So much ... I made a stop before heading home at the end of the night lol. I tried the chorizo, carnitas, and chicken tacos. Each one was well marinated, tender, and flavorful. My fave of them all was the carnitas because the flavors lasted just a tad bit longer. Lastly, I highly recommend the green AND red sauces, because why not?

    behold a food truck with seating built-in! stopped at Habanero Pibil for some late-in-the-day takeout tacos. the Habanero Pibil truck must be popular bc they only "protein" they had left was asada (steak). steak chunks topped with cilantro, onions, salsa, & guacamole on a tortilla (asked for salsa verde, too). the seasoned beef mixed well especially the guac. the tacos are amply stuffed. these are good tacos imo and a nice addition to the NYU area. the menu is filled out with quesadillas, burritos, rice bowls, and more. staff are chill. the truck seems to be parked on weekdays from lunchtime to late afternoon. no better excuse to hangout in nearby Washington Square Park with some enjoyable calories and soak in a sunny day.

    Just stopped by cause I was super in the mood for Birria. The gentleman helping me was very friendly! Tacos were yummy but I think the Birria itself was the most delicious part of the meal. Would like to come back and try some of their other tacos!

    AMAZING TACOS from a food truck! I wanted something quick but still delicious for dinner. This checked off all the boxes. The food ready fast, fresh, and packed with flavor. Lucky for me, they had a counter and stools to make it easier to immediately eat (Vs. balancing it while staining up). I would definitely eat here again, and I look forward to trying more items. The service was also super friendly.

Everyone we interacted with was friendly and fast/efficient. We ordered several carne asada tacos and quesadillas in addition to chips/guac. As always, everything was delicious - there's a reason they're so popular and considered one of if not the best tacos here. Similar type of location and layout as their other spots on the city. It's quick, loud, small, but efficient- quite fitting of NY. Always a good time and good food.

    You know a taco spot is going to be good when there's a line out the door! While we were waiting,…read moreyou could hear both locals and visitors talking about how amazing this place is, which only made me more excited to try it for myself. The hype was absolutely worth it. The adobada tacos were hands down the best tacos I've ever had. The homemade corn tortillas were fresh and flavorful, and the adobada was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also tried the carne asada tacos, which were good but definitely overshadowed by the adobada. Each taco came topped with onions, cilantro, guacamole, and salsa. Just a heads-up--the salsa packs some serious heat! Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype. If you're in the area and don't mind waiting in line, it's absolutely worth it.

The birria tacos were really good (or so my son said) but sadly the taquitos were terrible. They literally just had unseasoned shredded chicken (but serves me right for ordering something so basic). The salsa also tasted more like tomato paste than actual salsa. But again, the goal for this stop was a frozen marg(s) and that mission was accomplished and then were good . The atmosphere was also fun and lively and our server was attentive and never tried to push us out the door despite sitting there for a while!

    Unfortunately, this place had little to offer. The staff seemed uninterested--either they didn't…read morewant to serve customers, didn't want to be there, or both. The energy was flat, and that lack of enthusiasm carried right into the food. The menu needs a complete overhaul. I'm not sure if it's trying to be "different," but the taco options were unappealing just from reading the descriptions. I managed to choose the two best-sounding items I could find, and honestly, they were so bland I don't even remember what they were. The setup and decor were basic. This spot could be a fun hangout, but it would take a better menu and staff who actually seem to care. It feels like just another restaurant that's lost sight of creating an actual experience for guests. The lack of vibe is obvious--if you don't want customers, just say so. I'm giving 2 stars out of respect for the fact that people have to work for a living.

    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.
