    2 Asada

    Food was fast and fresh and delicious!!! So glad I walked over for a quick lunch. Took a seat inside and was welcomed with kindness. Service was great. Ambiance was small but welcoming.

    Birria Taco y Quesadilla de pollo con chipotle mayo
    A'Yanna E.

    Hands down the best quesadilla I've had maybe ever!!! The ladies were smiley, so warm, and fast. I was nervous there were no seats here but I snapped a pic for future patrons awareness - there are 3 tables and a mini bar for 3. The birria taco with consume dip was really good. Back to the quesadillas though lol she served it with spicy green sauce. I asked did she have regular salsa instead. Her answer was no but she said they have chipotle mayo. Listeeenn the quesadillas are flavorful & juicy you don't need sauce but the chipotle mayo every for every two bites was niiiice. If I'm in the area again I'd absolutely come here!!! Affordable, suitable, & delicioso! Go, enjoy!!!

    Birria tacos and consommé

    Geez, we've been sleeping on this place. I had no idea that Jo's was so close to my apartment. It's a tiny space, but the food is bomb! Their birria tacos definitely rank in my top three around the city. Sadly, our fave, Kuxé, closed awhile back. As a close runner-up, Jo's satisfies, plus it's a lot closer to home. I'm not sure I'll ever understand the whole selling-the-consommé-as-a-separate-item thing, mostly because I feel like birria tacos are just a delivery device for the broth, but... I don't run the business. I just think it's a crime to order the tacos sans concomitant elixir. And the chicken quesadilla was easily one of the most jam-packed, delightful renditions of this dish I can recall having in the past year. It was bursting at the seams with fillings, and made for a great backup birria consommé sponge after we'd finished the tacos. Will definitely be back -- just have to time it so that we can score some seating; I'm skeptical that this grub would travel well.

    Chips and guac

    Best Mexican food in Manhattan. Not even close. Tacos and guac are perfect. Small hole in the wall take out style restaurant. Great service.

    Burrito Carne Asada burrito 2 Birria tacos Jarritos

    First off, immediately when walking in, you feel surrounded; but in a familiar way. Not suffocating and stressful, but like walking into your favorite childhood Mexican food spot. Service was quick, efficient, and straight to the point. However I saw a care in this employee's eyes that I never quite got from Tacobell or hell even Chick Fil-A. I see passion. A real Mexican food spot with real people. I ordered a carne asade burrito and my friend ordered Birria tacos. We both thoroughly devoured our servings and also had assorted flavors of Jarritos to accompany the savory flavors. Great place, great people, a great familiar feeling.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Jo's. It's a cute, very small restaurant near Union Square. It seats about 5 people total at a time but the food is impeccable. Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while. The quesadilla and tacos were so flavorful and authentic. The staff were incredibly friendly and answered a lot of questions that we had. I definitely will be going back and I hope you guys show the small business some love!

    Al pastor burrito
    Charles Z.

    Amazing and authentic taco spot!! The staff was super friendly, the service was relatively quick, and the food was so good. Honestly one of the best Mexican spots in the east village! I got this Al pastor burrito, which was great, and my buddy got the tacos. He said they were the best he's had in a while. Don't hesitate to try this spot it's phenomenal!

    Tacos al pastor and shrimp tacos.
    David L.

    Some of the best tacos I've ever had! Definitely top 5, might even be #2...and I'm from Southern California. The Al pastor was incredible! Definitely worth the money.

    Mexaburger
    Franklin G.

    Good was great! I had their mexaburger and chorizo quesadilla which were very filling. The service by the staff was excellent they were friendly and quick with bringing out the food

    Asada (shoulder) tacos and birria quesadillas with consomé.

    I'm from Mexico and these are absolutely amazing tacos. The Al pastor was the best I have ever had. Pablo was very helpful and provided a great service to all who came in. I could tell that everyone who came in loved their food. I'd go back again and again.

    Chorizo quesadilla with a side of fries and a jarrito!!

    I'll just say it: best tacos in the world. Completely subjective, I know -- but Los Tacos No. 1…read moremakes it hard to argue otherwise. The ingredients are fresh, simple, and clearly quality. Tortillas are made to order right in front of you, and the whole experience just feels authentic and joyful. I had the steak and pork tacos, my friend got chicken -- we went back for a second round. That says everything. A few tips for first-timers: -- Don't sleep on the quesadillas. Seriously. -- If you like crispy tortillas, order the tostada -- they deep fry it and the result is incredible. -- Get the Horchata. It's not overly sweet and pairs perfectly with the tacos. The staff is 10/10 friendly and efficient. Don't be intimidated by the line -- it moves fast. Case in point: on a rainy morning, there was already a line at 11:01 AM (the place opens at 11). People know what they're doing here. The atmosphere is relaxed. They have nice, authentic music playing at all times. Highly, highly recommend.

    The food influencers did not lie, the Adobada taco is out of this world. There's so much flavor…read morepacked in this small, yet filling taco. I'm a native southern Californian and I was absolutely delighted at the quality of this Mexican food. After you order you give your ticket to the cook and they make your taco fresh, allowing you to get all the toppings or choose your toppings. It's really spacious, with high top rectangular tables for quick eating and some sit-down tables.

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.

We had reservations and there was a party ahead of us at the entrance. No greeting or acknowledgment from the hostess upon entrance (red flag). She seated the other party and very lackadaisically returned to her booth to finally acknowledge our presence. She seated us with menus but no brunch menu even though it was still brunch time. I had to ask the waiter for it. Took a while to get order in. We ordered two apps and one entree to share. Took even longer for our food to arrive. We ordered: Nachos - they were ok Fried calamari - overly salty, slightly fishy, and COLD Chile relleno - underwhelming, lukewarm Hibiscus pomegranate iced tea - tasted like grenadine water. Zero pomegranate or hibiscus flavor. Also, different prices between brunch and regular menu. We were charged regular menu price. Overall, super underwhelming and not worth your time or money. Chipotle would've been better than this.

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.
