    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.

    Let's go METS

    The steak tacos were delicious I couldn't get enough. I got the mango margarita which was just right. I think the best in town. I will be returning for Karaoke. The service was great super attentive. I will be returning for drinks and more food. Place was very clean .

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

The real gem of the night was our hostess, May May. Her kindness, personality and sense of humor truly elevated the entire experience and made us feel incredibly welcome. The manager was also gracious enough to send over a round of shots for the table, which was a really nice touch. I personally only had drinks, but my party ordered the salmon and couldn't stop talking about how fresh and flavorful it was. Great atmosphere, great drinks and even better hospitality. What started as a random stop turned into one of the highlights of the night. We'll definitely be back!

Great mixologists and wait staff is very attentive. We went three rounds and everyone was happy with their drinks. The mini lobster rolls and fries were a nice entree for one of the guests. The fries had a nice seasoning to them and topped with garnish. Everyone else was here for the drinks. So many options on the drink menu including wines, cocktails and mocktails. If you don't see it on the menu, you can still ask if they can make it. Very cool vibes and atmosphere. The seating was comfy in the booths and the lighting was just right for a social gathering.

The service was amazing, very attentive, and everything was clean. The food was pretty good, but there were some dishes I liked more than others. Ordering the boiled chicken slices as an app was the wrong move. It tasted okay, as good as it sounds, but I don't think it was the best app option. The pork belly in mashed garlic was good, but I wish the cucumbers had been more chilled and fresh. I liked Uluh's version of this dish more. Next time I would try the boiled chicken in chili sauce or the crispy fish. The flavor and texture of the braised pork belly were amazing. The pork was tender and fatty. The prawns were fantastic and very garlicky, just how we like it! The rice was pretty good and actually had a decent amount of seafood, but I found the shrimp to be the same quality you would get from a takeout Chinese restaurant. The rice was also on the more steamed side, less on the dry side. All in all, I thought the food was decent, but the service was amazing and the vibes were also a plus.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
