    Only really went here once so far, not going to talk about the service or anything as a factor for my review but I did genuinely think it was fine and there was a small language barrier but it was absolutely not an issue at all. The place was clean, nicely lit, our food came out at what I felt like was a decent place considering how many things we ordered, I really like the fact that we were able to try so many dishes especially as someone who enjoys variety and goes to a lot of AYCE places, I'd say for the price the variety and quality were really high. I liked the guac on everything we ordered it really tasted fresh, the chips and salsa (WWOW THE SALSA WAS GOOD) at the start really did set up the whole experience to be fantastic. I don't really have anything bad to say or anything that would take off a point, maybe I didn't like the churros as much as someone else but try them!! I don't think I had a single bad menu item here.

    Love coming here! After every Mets game this is our spot! Food is consistently tasty, well prepared and delicious! I love coming here with my friends and family and look forward to keep coming back for the next family get-together or just because. Service here is friendly and efficient. The ambiance is fun and family friendly! Highly recommend!

    Friendly service, good Mexican food. I had the Al Pastor Combo, rice and beans and niece had two chicken tacos. Shout out to the lack of red/green sauce they put into the little plastic cups, esta por la mitad, Guey! My drink was really good and nice and strong. See pics posted!

    Popped in here for a pre Hella Mega concert meal. Service was a bit spotty as we had a language barrier, as the young waitresses spoke only Mexican and I , unfortunately, do not. As an example, my double vodka and orange juice came out in two glasses. Fortunately, both glasses had a strong pour. I had the steak and fried shrimp while my buddy had the beef ribs. We both agreed the food was good. I would pop back in for a meal and drinks next time I'm Citi Field for a show or game.

    Stopped by here after flying in to LGA. Good food. Strong drinks. Friendly staff. Good option if you're traveling in or out of the airport and dont want to eat there. There is a good amount of seating and I was able to get some work done. Only downside is I had to ask them for a few things and the food took a while (there were only 2-3 tables) but it could be they were just giving me space to work ‍

    Pollo asada tostados. Wow!

    This is a lovely, quiet restaurant and bar. Lots of TVs and several families with children were present for a late lunch. A single guy, sitting near us ordered the BIGGEST bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup I have ever seen in my life. It. Looked. S-O good!! The bar was very handsome - lengthy, quartz topped with high backed bar chairs. Many beers to choose from plus a full bar. The servers were busy making margaritas - mmmmm - margaritas.... Our server spoke no English, which didn't bother us one bit! She was friendly and seemed very kind - it was quite fun struggling (honestly - it was FUN!!) to communicate using sign language and pointing to photos in the vast menu. We ordered the grilled cactus which was really interesting! Soft in texture, it was presented with a lovely garnish of thinly sliced radishes and welcomed sliced cucumbers. The cactus was not super flavorful, so with some salt and their dynamite house prepared salsa, we achieved the heat and tastiness hit the mark. We ordered Tostadas. The appearance could not have been better - nope - the presentation was perfecto!! My hubbie's chicken choice was far better than mine. I opted for grilled carne/beef. Ouch - tough as leather. There was a bit of yummy involved, but I could not get over the texture of the beef. No good. The staff was super friendly. The design and decor was muted and comfortable. We will give it another go!

    5 stars! These Quesabirria tacos are seriously the best. I've tried them from all over but I think I'll rank these as my new fave. Ambience is good. Horchata refreshing

    The food made me and my wife sick. My wife actually vomited in the car on the way home from the restaurant. Would only buy drinks. Hard to find parking and was a language barrier. One time was enough for me.

    Our meal. Cactus, Salmon and mole, fajita, plantains, rice and beans.

    I really enjoyed my experience here. Came with a friend, and we were seated quickly. It seems very authentic and many of the workers don't seem to speak English. However that's not a problem. In fact I see that as a bonus since I figure that means the food is much more authentic. One of the guys, he seemed like the manager, was super super nice and he did speak English. He explained a lot of what was on the menu. I ordered grilled cactus, Salmon and moly sauce, fajitas, sweet plantains, and the meal came with rice and beans. I thought everything was flavorful and tasty. The cactus perhaps had the least flavor, but I think that's because cactus just doesn't have much flavor. I really enjoyed their mole sauce. Salmon was cooked well -- still moist. Prices were good, too!

    Solid fast delivery, even during lunch hours rush. The portion is generous and the flavor is quite decent as well.

A super kind person who loves to laugh and makes some great drinks. The place is small but cozy. There are a few tables and a bar with stools and the place got pretty packed for a Monday night. I'll be back again for sure!

    It is pretty hard to find as I didnt see the name of the restaurant outside. I came by myself…read more Tonight was game 4, NY knicks swept the Cavs with a blowout. I watch the end of the game in here. Inside looks nice, booth is comfortable. Lively decoration with a spinning floating lightbulb in each table. The air is a bit stuffy though. I only ordered a burger as I heard from other reviewers that it is the best burger. It is quite tasty. Burger is on the smaller side, size of my palm. For $22, it also came with French fries. It is a bit more to the expensive side if I compare to what I will pay for a double burger and fries at Burger joint at 7th street burger. I guess i paid for the atmosphere. Service is ok. The waitress is very quiet. I dont think she spoke more than 20 words to me. Mostly nodding at my request. She did refill my water without me asking. However, she didnt bring me utensils. I had to use the toothpick that held the burger together to eat the leftover crumbs. My hands is a bit sticky and smell like barbecue sauce as a result of it. Thats why I deduct a star
