    Tamarind Wings

    Wasn't planning on coming here but plans changed and it all turned out fine. Was a group of 6. The tables were all squeezed in there so we couldn't really move our chairs or else we'd hit people around us. The staff was friendly, took our order quickly and food and drinks came out not long after. Their tamarind wings and fries were great, tasted liked a sweet bbq sauce. We didn't see our server again until thru took the plate away so we didn't get a chance to reorder drinks. Would come back if in the area again.

    El Camion Cantina offers a satisfying brunch experience with a comfortable atmosphere. The menu has a nice mix of Mexican-inspired options and classic brunch fare, making it a good choice for a group with varied tastes. We came here after the local spots around were packed. The Steak and Eggs Dobladas was flavorful, with steak wrapped in soft tortillas and topped with a tangy green salsa, crema, and cheese. I would order another dish to try next time. The Camion Burger was well-cooked and came with melted Oaxaca cheese, adding a nice depth of flavor. The fries were crispy and seasoned well, but one small critique would be the lack of condiments served with the burger--some ketchup or a house sauce on the side would have been a nice touch. The Huevos Diablos had good heat from the chipotle hollandaise, and the eggs were poached nicely. The roasted potatoes were well-seasoned, and the small side of greens helped balance out the richness of the dish. I loved it! A side of corn muffin was a simple but enjoyable addition, and the coffee was strong and smooth. I loved the corn muffins the best. However, I don't think it's made fresh. It's so symmetrical. Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was relaxed. It's a good spot for a casual brunch, especially if you're in the mood for something with bold flavors. A few small tweaks--like offering condiments with the burger--would make the experience even better.

    The food is exactly what you would expect with Mexican cuisine. Nothing too crazy - everything was delicious and well portioned. All my friends liked their food as well & I would definitely come back here. I came on a Monday night and there were still people drinking and having fun. I would like to come again on a Thursday/Friday night! The service was amazing and they made sure we had everything we needed.

    Small Guac, Chips & Salsa

    We arrived around 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. Our plan was let's get a drink and relax. We were seated immediately and menus distributed. We decided to order a regular guacamole and drinks. I had the large skinny margarita, the drink was perfectly balanced and had a nice kick. Everyone was happy with their drinks. The guacamole was served with a small bucket of chips. The chips were the right amount for the guacamole and salsa. The guacamole was really good, the right amount of tomatoes, cilantro and onions and lime it was well balanced. The chips were warm and the saltiness was perfect. Unfortunately the salsa was watery and lacked any sort of spice. I would come back to try a proper meal

    The carnitas and fish tacos are decent! Bf orders the queso fundido with chips and Tortillas. My fav was the coconut margaritas. Food prices were fair. This is one of those places you stop into after you've been drinking and need something to help you sober up. Customer service was awesome.

    Super cute little lunch spot! My colleagues and I ate here during a work trip, and we had a blast. The drinks were delicious. A bunch of us tried the spicy hibiscus - warning it really is spicy. But so so good. We got 3 different things of tacos - bc you only get one meat with your order, no mix and match! Someone got a buffalo chicken quesadilla and I ordered an enchilada. Everything turned out great! There was a slight confusion between cheese and melting cheese on top of the enchilada but the flavor was still great and the server definitely tried to make sure all was well. The prices were fair for the amount of food as well. Definitely recommend for a fun lunch!

    If I could eat one type of food everyday with no weight gain, it would be nachos! I. Love. Nachos. Their nachos were OK. I expected them to be more flavorful because the chicken looked like it had a good marinade on it, but they were rather bland. The margs were delicious though!

    El Camion Cantina is a go to spot in the East Village for a reason! It's is all around great and all of my experiences here have been fantastic! The service is amazing and the pictures of the food and drinks speak for themselves! You have to come for their giant margaritas- perfect for any night out! This deserves a spot on anyone's list of best Mexican spots in the city, and I will be back so soon!

    Came here after the event at Boris and Horton. We sat outdoors for the dogs. The waiter was friendly and took our orders. But there was another staff that was bald and he gave some nasty looks or attitude when we asked him. The guacamole was good. But everything else was not good. We were the only ones who sat outside when the bald staff gave a mean look to us. But then other customers came with their dogs outside and you can clearly see that man not being able to do anything in his head besides make faces. The other waiter who served us was more helpful and friendly and that's why the 2 star. Or else it would have been a 1 star. Everything was pretty bland. Nothing special about the food here. First time here and last time here. Expected more based on the good reviews from the food and the other staff.

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.

Although I had a reservation, I was instructed to go to the bar. Literally no home at the bar whatsoever. Granted I know Mexican restaurants tend to be super crowded for Cinco de Mayo but I was a party of one. I should have been seated outside at the very least. I had to drink my frozen Patron Margarita standing up until a space at the bar open up after 20-25 minutes. Once seated, my area wasn't properly cleaned. I felt awkward and uncomfortable. I reluctantly ordered fish tacos with mild guacamole but was given spicy guacamole. The fish tacos were a little cold. The service was rushed. I left without ordering another drink or more food. I was over it. This place isn't far from my employer so maybe I'll give it another chance on a random weekday.

The menu has a long list of items and they are all reasonably priced. Our Server, Maria K., did a wonderful job throughout the meal and we were never rushed to leave our table. We started with a glass of Modelo draft beer and a Golden Margarita. The beer was served in a large glass and the Margarita was strong and well presented. Tacos are a great selection for Happy Hour and all of them (fish, chicken, carnitas) were well seasoned, the optimal amount of spiciness, and wrapped in soft shells. The Street Corn was DELICIOUS. The creamy sauce made each bite a delight and the Tahin just added to the enjoyment. When I went to the restroom, I noticed that the restaurant was very full and the low hum of the customers made the ambiance uplifting.
