Be sure to get one of the other depending upon your mood For food, my favorite by far is two different kinds of quesadillas: the one with mushrooms called hongos, and one with a cactus flower which is flor de calabaza. A third quesadilla that I also like has a mix of vegetables called huitlacoche. Whenever I am at the Harrison PATH or nearby I go out of my way to get the food and smoothies here.

So I ordered one of their tortas with steak, jalapeño, onions and cheese. I was expecting a simple sandwich to hold me until I got home. What I was served was the biggest torta I had ever seen. And it was delicious! Fresh ingredients all around, loved everything especially the bread. The house made green and red hot sauces are amazing. Love the flavor and heat. The jalapeño in the torta kicked as well, I was a happy camper. Few tables to seat and eat, staff very friendly and helpful. Prices are moderate and worth it for the good quality food served. Loved how the place was nicely decorated for FIFA and gave a relaxing atmosphere with the games playing on TV. Can be a cool date spot as well. Looking forward to trying other menu items here.

Tacos Al Pastor 7.3/10 - I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel as though these tacos could have given me more. YES, the meat was flavorful and juicy, YES you can taste the pineapple, YES all the flavors came together harmoniously. But for some reason I kept thinking I was eating chicken, maybe it had to do with the way the meat was chopped up finely. Texture played a big role in determining how much I reallyyy liked these tacos. They were good and I would perhaps get them again, but i've definitely had better. Quesabirria 8.7/10 - When I opened the box them cheeses were staring at me and I knew I was gonna stretch that shit out. i was blown away buy how good the cheese melted into the savory meat dripping everywhere (yes everywhere). They did not hold back on the cheese, and i'm very grateful for that! The tortilla was solid but I wish they were just a tad bit more crunchy. I devoured them bitches tho so it's all good. Consome 8/10 - Textbook definition of consome right here, it elevated the birria tacos and brought out that meaty taste. On its own it gave a nice warm hearty feeling in my tummy. It was cozy and no further to be honest. Green sauce 6.9/10 - I know green sauces aren't typically the spiciest sauce you can get, but i detected zero spice levels! The taste was rather refreshing, and had a nice hint of lime to it. You don't notice the flavors as much when you put them on the tacos, which made me a tiny bit sad Red sauce 7.8/10 - I was worried this sauce would be on the bbq side of the flavor spectrum, but I was surprised but it's smoky richness and decent level of spice. don't go too heavy with this one because then you will see the levels of hotness that come with this sauce. I actually taste this one with my tacos and didn't overpower the meat flavors. I wish more red sauces were as complex as this one. Cilantro 10/10 - very fresh, generous, and green Overall experience 7.75/10 - Although I expected more from the Al Pastor tacos, the birria tacos made up for it and consome and red sauce really sealed the deal. next time i'm shit face drunk in newark and it's not too late I'll come back with a smile.

This location near Times Square is ALWAYS busy, so expect a line out the door and a battle to find standing room once you actually get your food. There's no time to be distracted here - look at the menu while you're in line so you can immediately know what to order once you reach the counter. Also keep an eye out for people trying to shortcut the line. Prices are steep per taco - is that really surprising in the heart of New York, no - but my favorite is the Adobada: so much flavor packed into the meat and balanced with the sweetness of the pineapple slivers. Second would be the carne asada (get this if you're a guac lover). Their agua de jamaica unfortunately is pretty bland so I'd stick to the classics next time and probably get a bottled Coke. They have a bar at the side for salsas and other toppings, but honestly the salsa is really spicy - yes even for me, the Mexican. I think the tacos are perfectly delicious without it but feel free to take the risk! And stock up on napkins because it can get messy :)

We ordered tacos (of course). Nick ordered the bulgogi tacos and I had a tofu taco and a bistec taco. Everything we had was exceptional.

Their take out menu from the night before said $15 for a spicy pork bowl but in person to order was $19. Portion is wildly disproportionate to the price and taste was subpar for the area and again the price. I'm all for supporting local but I will be sticking to Charley's near by or Chipotle from now on because this experience I've had was criminal.
