Tacos CDMX has the best street-style tacos in the entire Ithaca area, hands down. I moved here…read moreafter 20+ yrs in California where food truck tacos are not only a staple, but an edible art form that is both approachable and cherished. Here, the food is never prepared in an overly curated-for-Instagram-but-empty-inside kind of way, but rather with a focus on simple ingredients prepared with care in a slow-food way that emphasizes their deep, rich flavor. My favorite is the Al pastor taco with pineapple, a combo of guacamole and chipotle salsas, with fried cheese added on top of the diced onions and cilantro. To die for!! And still only $5 each. This afternoon, after eating literally hundreds of their tacos over the last few years, I tried their smash burger. Absolutely outstanding! Might be the best burger in town as well, it's honestly that good. And only $10! A few weeks ago I had a burger from a local restaurant for $20, which seems to be the going rate, and it paled in comparison to their oh!-so-tasty-you-can't-stop-licking-your-fingers burger! And if you ask, they'll customize it for you with a fried egg, or in my case, with lots of extra fried onions. Their torta sandwiches have also garnered a cult following due to their packed ingredients and massive size, still just for $14. If you're lucky, in the warmer months Eduardo might be serving some of his delicious aqua frescas, or even better, some of his incredible lemonade beverages. Sooooo refreshing! The bonus: you get to hang out with these cool and friendly guys Eduardo & Carlos, as well as their friendly staff who work so hard to make your food so delicious. This place is truly an Ithaca treasure! And more good news: they just moved (May 2026) from Press Bay Alley (118 W Green St) to Press Bay Court (114 W Green St), where they now offer plenty of indoor seating, a big improvement over the old place that only had room for a handful of people at a time. Their outdoor seating has grown as well, and the overall ambiance is more festive and fun. Do yourself a favor - go get some of those mouth-watering tacos, and definitely try the smash burger!

With that said I highly believe any taco or burrito needs a great homemade tortilla or it ruins it and this 'mission' tortilla was no exception and made the taco not so pleasant with a sweet factory taste. I saw them cook my ribeye taco and put seasoning on it but it wasn't enough unfortunately. Also they don't have togo containers for the hot sauce which sucks cuz I wanted to try all of them and pour them on at my discretion. It was an alright taco tho and nice workers.

Impressed on my first visit to this restaurant! After a day of hiking 15 miles on the FLT, we…read moreneeded to refuel and recover with a drink and dinner. We decided on Bickering Twins, because can you go wrong with Mexican food and a margarita? Luckily we had no wait on a Friday evening at about 7pm. I was worried that since not many people were there it was a bad sign, but that was not the case. We were seated at a nice, sort of private high-top table near the door, which made it feel like we had privacy and our own little space. We ordered drinks, and I wimped out and went with a paloma instead of the tamarind maragarita. The paloma was great, but I'm still wondering whether I shouldn't have risked it. Our group of three decided to get chips & salsa (because why wouldn't you), and then we ordered three dishes to share. Our choices were as follows: Peruvian Ceviche, Birria Quesadilla and Chicken Enchiladas. First of all, the fact that they had ceviche and it was good just hands down made my day. It was good - I only wish there had been some corn kernels served with it. The birria quesadillas weren't what we had expected, but they were very flavorful and the juice was tasty. I Really enjoyed the enchiladas for the mix of flavors and textures. There were so many vegetables with our dishes and the sides of rice and beans were more than filling. My only complaint is that the rice was too much of a yellow rice - I prefer a white rice, but that's just personal preference. Even though we kept the menu at the table anticipating that we would want to order more, we ultimately were stuffed and the portions (while they looked small were actually quite filling!). Jose our server was kind and friendly. I would definitely come back as there are a variety of other meals I would try, and they have flights of Mezcal and Tequila that looked tempting. After a long hard day of hiking, this fabulous meal made the day. We returned to our hotel with sore legs, but our bellies full!

End result is nothing was awful but there is no reason to ever come back here.

The new space feels like a nice refresh, but they've kept what people love about it. The Ranchero sauce is a standout--really flavorful and easily my favorite thing on the menu. I also appreciate that the food consistently comes out quickly, even when it's busy. The staff has always been friendly in my experience, and servers Dina and Maya are great. I also really enjoyed the bartenders working this past Tuesday. Overall, it's become a reliable go-to spot in town for a quick, satisfying meal, and I'm glad to see it continuing to improve in the new location.

Rice and beans were dry as well!!! The chips and salsa were not good as well as the salsa was just chopped tomatoes and onions with very lil to no flavor!!!! The only good part of the meal was the blue hippo margaritas! We brought our 7 pound Pomeranian and were told that it was a health violation to have her in a chair, so I kept her on my lap while sitting outside... Needless to say...I have NO idea why there are good reviews for this place as we thought it was horrible!!! I'd prefer Taco Bell vs $89 bill at Viva!!!

One of the best taco places I've ever been to. They move quickly despite only being two people…read moreworking there (the only wait is the lines when they come, really), the tacos are hot, fresh, and delicious, and they even have drinks+ a spot to sit and eat in the shade. They make their tacos in a small metal shed/shack, so it's not a spot to sit down with air conditioning, but it's great for a cooler day or to take home (and it'll still be hot by the time you get home!), not to mention supporting a small business. For anyone looking to go- each taco is $5 even, including toppings.

I've had brunch, lunch, and dinner at MIX, and all with varying levels of enjoyment. My recent…read morebrunch experience included ordering a Where the West Begins omelette, which includes "Braised short rib, butternut squash, red onion jam, spinach, smoked gouda". I wasn't sure how to feel about butternut squash with everything else (I'm not necessarily a huge squash fan - but I'm trying to learn to enjoy it), but the omelette was decent... it's the other side on my plate that looked less than appetizing. The biscuit was still covered in flour (and who wants to bite down on a clump of flour?), the cheddar hashbrown casserole lacked in flavor, and the brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal just... wasn't doin' it for me. Other recent experiences have been similar... there's usually one item on the plate that's flavorful or imventive (sometimes a main dish, sometimes a side), and the other parts of the plate are lacking. In reality, I think MIX is suffering a bit from rising food costs and inconsistency in their service and offerings. They've also changed the style of their menu from the original tapas-style to now being more typical entree options. Again... they've lost some of their innovative, experimental approach. In terms of ambiance, it really depends. I've been here for a work event and, because of the number of people, it was SO LOUD... they had also done a buffet offering for the event. As you can imagine, the food from the buffet was lacking, but that's often what happens when you're more mass producing your food (and it's left in a chafing dish, trying to be kept warm). On the other hand, I've been here for a dinner on a random night and was able to enjoy one of their Thai noodle bowls (and split some other apps with friends). The reality is that experiences at MIX are... well... a mix. Whether service, menu offerings, etc., I've found MIX's recent inconsistencies to be a disappointment. Will probably only visit in the future if it's suggested by others.

Chips and salsa are prompt to the table, but note that only the first round is free. There is a charge for subsequent rounds. The salsa is one step above ketchup. It's very mild with a hint of flavor. I was gonna say spice but that would require a lot more. We got the mini chimi appetizer, which are 3 beef and 3 chicken with a queso dipping sauce. They are very flavorful and not fried, which was surprising. Looks like they were baked. For dinner I got the 3 chicken enchiladas with green sauce. It comes with rice and beans. The enchiladas were good. The rice was mushy and the beans had an odd flavor I couldn't quite place. Both rice and beans were a little bland. My husband got the pozole, which was described as Mexican Pho, but just no, lol. It's a red chili based soup that was more like a sauce vs a traditional broth. There was a ton of pork but very little hominy. It came with lime, purple cabbage, radish and cilantro to mix in. Never had it with purple cabbage, usually do green. Overall, service was great and its easy parking. Food was decent, drinks were awesome. I would go back.

Some restaurants in the area were not pleasant to even obtain pricing. Brewer's answered the phone and they were wonderful from our initial conversation, right up until the last few moments of our night there. We ordered Tier 2 - five appetizers and two entrees. Our appetizers were Caprese Salad, Charcuterie Board, Veggie Board, Spinach & Artichoke Dip and Poutine. All were freshly prepared presented in a timely manner. Our entrees were the brisket and the salmon. The brisket was smoked for four hours and was the best brisket many of us had ever had. The salmon was cooked to perfection and delicious. We would definitely host another party at Brewer's and now we have a go-to place for when we are in the area for a family meal. Loved our experience here!

The bathrooms were clean and easy to find and I can't wait to go back in the spring/summer to check out their outside seating because they have about 15 tables. They also host a game night and have live music. Definitely a hotspot in the Ithaca area.
