We always start with the nachos with chorizo. A crowd favorite. Nice heat and great flavors. Went for the steak enchiladas with salsa verde. Their salsa verde is so good and addictive.

Upon arriving home, the grilled meat was delicious and plentiful. There was enough for left overs as the meat was folded in half in the tin.

I am looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

I got steak fajitas on this particular visit and it did not disappoint. The meat was not fatty, very flavorful, and tasted great with all the toppings. Be aware if you do not like pets in restaurants, they considered the front inside portion of the restaurant to include the bar as part of the outside and acceptable. Only the back portion of the restaurant is pet free. I may people upset but I will continue to say it - I am a dog and pet lover, but they do not belong in restaurants!

Surprisingly, it is a dish that is hard to find in the Flushing/Fresh Meadows area especially in a sit down, comfortable restaurant. The Chilaquiles was a nice little plate of deliciousness - I loved the tangy green salsa soaked bed of tortilla with nicely fried over easy eggs (they way I ordered it). A fan of avocado, tomato and onions top the dish as well - it comes with a side of rice and beans. I recently returned when I was in the mood for enchiladas - they have combo option with beef, chicken and cheese. I ordered them divorced style with both red and green salsa. It comes blanketed with a shredded lettuce salad with tomato, onions and avocado. Rice and beans round out the dish. A couple of other dishes I tasted were the eggs with chorizo and the chimichanga - both were very good. I love their house salsas both a dark red and green one. They bring out tortilla chips with a thick salsa that is tomato-ey sweet. They have a full bar if you are so inclined and the service is very good here.

Not fluent in English, but very friendly service. They have an extensive menu! They give complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is a sweet tomato-y salsa and the chips are crisp. The Chimichanga with Cecina (Salted Beef) was stuffed! Crisp fried exterior, covered in flavorful red (tomato-y) and green (herb-y) sauces. The cecina is perfectly salted. I enjoyed the guac and chips (same as the complimentary chips) and pico on the side added freshness. They also have a house red and green sauce, which have a good kick and flavor to them. The Pineapple Juice is the right amount of sweetness and tart. I like that there's no ice so it's a full glass of juice! Overall a neat local spot to hit up for good food and friendly service (and a full bar!).

After having dinner, my friend and I were walking around when we came across "Ruta Oaxaca Mexican…read moreCuisine." Ironically, earlier while trying to decide where to go for dinner, I had sent this restaurant to my friend but we ended up going somewhere else and came here for drinks afterward. The drinks were really good! We tried the "Sexy Oaxaca," which consists of 7 Misterios Doba-Yej Mezcal, Cointreau, grilled pineapple, mint agave, fresh lemon, and warm salt. This drink takes your taste buds on a ride. It starts off light and refreshing with the mezcal throughout, then finishes with a smoky effect from the pineapple since it's lit. It was really good!! I also tried the "VIP Old Fashion," made with Patrón Extra Añejo, Nixta corn liqueur, Angostura, and orange bitters. This was also good and was smoked prior to being served, giving it a smoky aftertaste. It's definitely a drink you sip slowly. Although we arrived about an hour and a half before closing, the waiter was very polite and professional. They also didn't rush us out once it was closing time, which I appreciated. There were other customers still there enjoying themselves as well. I will definitely be back for dinner. I'm very curious to see what the food is like. I really enjoyed the drinks.

Nothing bad, but I felt like it could've been a bit better overall. The food was good though, I ordered the mixtos tacos, which let's you pick three different tacos from the menu. It was around $23, which is a little pricey. But the tacos were a decent size and definitely filling. My favorite thing I tried was the chori queso. I never had it before and it was honestly the standout dish for me. I would order that again. I also tried the enquites which is street corn. It had a bit of a burnt taste. I know some people enjoy that smokey flavor, but it really wasn't for me. Overall, it was a nice time and for some of the dishes too.

They do have an outdoor patio which is nice for the warmer months. They have lots of cocktail options, too many to choose from but we really liked the ones we got, the Aguachile margarita and Jamaica margarita. Very unique!

We then got an order of the lengua and pastor tacos and shared. Both were delicious but I think I liked the lengua more. Really great spot!

My maracuya margarita was good and nicely presented but not worth $20. We ended up sitting outside since we had the dog which is nice that they allow pets as long as it's outside. We ordered tacos but they were literally bite sized and super pricey. They were good but not worth the price. They charge more for presentation and location rather than flavor. Won't be coming back.

Large space with plenty of seats and always nicely decorated. The bar area was full today for happy hour. This visit I finally made it here for happy hour (Happy hour is weekdays until 7 pm at the bar). The website is constantly updated to show the specials each day (happy hour, taco Tuesday, etc.) I went with a classic margarita with a tajin rim, the happy hour tostada and the happy hour tacos (2 per order, can't mix and match.) Everything was delicious and a good portion. The baja fish tacos were a bit heavy for me, and the batter may have been too well done (maybe the fryer oil was too hot?) , so I removed some of the batter as I ate it. Still tasty and satisfying but I prefer the shrimp tacos that I've had in the past.
