    What is this
    Nia B.

    Disgusting. 1st time ordering from this place & this is what you call a chicken burrito. Let's just say I've had way better chicken burritos. Very disappointed because they have amazing reviews. Do they not realize I had to bite into this mess.

    This place is SO good! Chips and salsa were fresh. The tinga de pollo empanadas and chicken tacos were delicious! Waitress was very nice and attentive. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

    Great Mexican restaurant with delicious vegan options. I had the vegan chorizo taco and it was great! Moreover, they have appetizing desserts like churros and tres leches cake. Definitely recommend.

    Walking by to find a place to have breakfast and a polite man told me about this restaurant. It so happens that he works there. I'm the first customer for the day. The place is quiet and I can read as I eat. My breakfast is served piping hot. How fries are golden brown, toast has the hint of butter and the egg white spinach omelette with cheese is delicious and could feed two people!

    Chicken w/pine nut sauce (a special) and filete de pescado. Mmmmm.

    Several months later, this place is still one our fave neighborhood places for quality food, service and value. We've tried so many things on the menu (and loved them all), as well as the specials they occasionally offer - definitely go for those. Melissa, one of the servers, is always so nice & welcoming (and tolerant of our odd requests for fewer carbs as well as our limited Spanish). Gracias!

    Need a decent lunch near Costco? This is it. One of the best sandwiches I've had in Brooklyn. Heat from chorizo and a pickled jalapeño is mellowed by cheese and avocado. There's a little bit of white onion, but not too much. It's creamy, salty and rich with the tang from the pickled jalapeño.

    Best hidden gem in town! Always met with welcoming service, and the authenticity of the food is tops. Highly recommended.

    Is your restaurant open for dining indoors and if so, do I need a reservation?

    Yes is opening

    Is this place BYOB?

    Hi hello yes

    Is anyone else having issues ordering for take out? It won't let me schedule for today, only for tomorrow. And when you call it goes straight to vm.

    I was honestly shocked by how much I loved this place! We did the tasting menu, which was $65 per…read moreperson, and I also ordered the passion fruit cocktail. It was fab! Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

    4.5 stars, 5 for food and 4 for service…read more Food was delish! My favorites were the gem salad elote and the guac. We also got the crispy snapper taco and the duck to share. I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
