    Taco bowls def hits the spot after the movie. (Spider-Man) just a short walk from Regal. This place is small but packs a BIG PUNCH in the flavor and service department! Be mindful of the margarita bs... upon entry you see $5 margaritas BUT look at the bill $5 for the drink $1 for the flavor and $3 for the size ??? Very misleading

    Birria meat was kind of dry but flavor was good. It was better with queso because the cotija cheese was also dry. The habanero salsa was very spicy.

    I'm pretty sure this is the only place on Earth with a calamari burrito (but don't quote me on that, haha). The menu's super creative, and the vibes are always on point--good music, frozen drinks, and just the right energy. Perfect spot for a quick bite during a night out in Hell's Kitchen.

    Omg this place didn't disappoint. The tacos are amazing, I had the steak taco and birria taco and both were chefs kiss, juicy tender and full of flavor. Not to mention the mango margarita is a must the server recommended and it was the perfect recommendation. There is searing everything is made fresh to order and I will be returning.

    Excellent taco spot with many varied and pretty creative options. Been a few times and no matter what you get, you can't go wrong. Definitely get the Birria. Carnitas. Nachos with chicken. Ask for all the sauces. Be careful the far red spicy one is sooo spicy. Margaritas are also pretty good!

    Once one of my favorite places to get my taco fix from has disappointed me today. My carnitas taco was dry and inedible. The fish taco was also dry. The only saving grace was the Shrimp taco, it was full of flavor. The churros were a good treat. Not sure if I'll order from them again.

    Loved it here. I just wish it had more space and toilet paper lol. But it was a busy night and things happen. The tacos were good, the drinks were strong and that's the reason I went. The service was also quick and professional. I'll be back for more late night bites.

    We were heading to brunch before our flight but the initial restaurant had a long wait. When we were looking around where we were standing, we were excited to see tacos and a open sign. Us and our luggage were warmly greeted by the staff of two and they made space for us. Its a nice little spot that has an overwhelming number of taco options to choose from. I was excited to see $5 margaritas and a eggs Benedict taco. Both were perfect on this cold snow filled Sunday morning. Because it was only 2 staff members there service was slow but not an issue. We did get our drinks pretty quickly and they were strong . It's a cute divy place i'd definitely return to, we enjoyed ourselves.

    Sometimes I come here for the Texas Tacos - they are big, satisfying, and full of flavor. I also like their fajitas. Ordering is quick and the service has been good. There are so many salsa options that it causes analysis paralysis (see pic)

    Honestly, I ordered here since I had class pass credits. I didn't think much of it. I even planned on ordering to go. However, upon walking in the vibe was fire. The Spanish music and the vibes were on fire. It made me stay and eat my food at the counter while jamming to the music. It made me feel like I was back in Miami. Also, the burrito bowl was amazing. I picked the lime chicken with cilantro rice and pinto beans. It came with these fried onions on top which were delectable. Food came out very quickly and service was great. Overall, this bowl was like chipotle on steroids and I'm here for it. I saw a lot of happy hour deals and if I wasn't on my work lunch break I would've tried it. Def returning!

    Decent neighborhood spot where the quality varies depending on what's ordered. Recommend the tostada bowl, and the beef birria tacos with consommé.

    The tacos here were really good, but the place gets extremely packed. It's a small location, so finding a seat can be a challenge. If you don't mind the tight space, the food is definitely worth it!

    Happy Birthday, Lu!

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.

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 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.
