As a Mexican, I found the food here is lacking in flavor (i.e. there are definitely more authentic and flavorful Mexican restaurants nearby). Our server in particular took a very long time to come by or in cases ignored our motions to come to the table, so our stay took longer than we anticipated. If you're Mexican and expecting flavorful food, I recommend going elsewhere.

I went here for the first time today, and the food and service were so good I had to leave a review. The tacos and margaritas were some of the best I’ve had, with reasonable prices for NYC. I came with a group of 7 for a birthday/baby sprinkle celebration. We had a big table in the back where they let us set up and decorate. We stayed for hours and never felt rushed. The entire staff couldn’t have been nicer. I highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Margaritas are FRESH, no syrup mixes. Great happy hour, $29 for 1 hour unlimited margs/wine or beer and 3 tacos of your choice! You can get 3 different types of tacos too- all were so delicious. The food is simple but not lacking any flavor!!! Bartender is the best:)
The spicy marg is a fav!

The drinks and food were good. Our server was extremely patient and nice. I would come again for drinks with friends. I recommend the shrimp tacos.

Went there for lunch. It's a nice medium-sized Mex-American restaurant. I ordered the chicken flautas, chicken enchiladas, and the birria tacos. And a lime Margarita. The chicken flautas are my favorite, tinga chicken with melted cheese. Never tried them like that. Keeps the taco roll together, topped with iceberg lettuce and tomato salsa and guacamole. It's a great appetizer and / or entrée. The birria tacos with Consome has a more mild spicy taste than the usual spicy. I'm really used to good spicy mexican food. Good beef flavor. If you want some spice, ask for the condiments on the side. Lastly, the chicken enchiladas. It's always my go-to to try at every Mexican restaurant. It also has a very mild spice taste to it. It's good filling and nice melted cheese on top. I finished everything up with a nice Lime Margarita, so good. Love the atmosphere, nice and chill. Good music selection. Jack helped me out with my order. He made me feel very welcome and made great suggestions. He was very detailed and knowledgeable. I will definitely come back and try out the rest of the menu.

Lovely spot to grab some tacos or even a drink. Definitely not the type of place you will go if you are looking for a calm or quiet place. Grabbed dinner on a Friday night and didn’t need reservation, which it was incredible.
Ordered guacamole with chips $15 as an appetizer and then 2 carnitas, 1 chicken and 1 spicy shrimp tacos. $5 each taco which it should be priced at $3 because the size is too small. Either way, it was delicious. I highly recommend the carnitas one, is super super soft and great taste. Service was friendly and quick. Food came right away.
Our bill was something around $36 without tip so I think that the price for 2 was actually really good! I did not get a drink but they looked really good and many tables where ordering. I guess I’ll have to come back soon!

Cute little spot with good music. The cheese empanada with mint was actually really good! the tacos are smaller in size but if you get the right one you’ll be satisfied. The chicken one was decent but the pork one i got melted in my mouth it was soooo good. Classic Margarita was perfect. Our service was so sweet and nice I forgot her name! but she also gave us free shots which we appreciate. I definitely recommend if you haven’t tried them out.
