    Crab Tostada
    Pamela P.

    Nice spot for drinks with authentic Mexican food, I was told it was only cash but to my surprise they were taking cards as well, which was great because is not cheap. We paid $160 for 2 people for a few drinks, 2 appetizers and 2 tacos. The Lengua tacos were Yummy but for $6 each I was expecting much more than a few pieces in a smaller than usual tortilla, really small, kids size small. Service and ambiance on the other hand was great, very friendly servers and good music selection, I would recommend for drinks and snacking but not for dinner. The place is small as well so probably not ideal for big groups. We had the crab tostada, pata tostada, and lengua tacos, everything tasted good, but again for the price I would have expected much better quality/portions. However yes we will go again for drinks with friends.

    Cebollitas
    Caroline D.

    Tried a couple of things here today which were pretty hit or miss. The guyaba margarita was great - it was well balanced and I loved the hint of heat. The cebollitas were super yummy too - especially when you squeeze a little lime on them. The tacos were just sad. Neither the carne asada or the shrimp had much flavor. Their paloma was also really syrupy. Regardless, it's a solid neighborhood spot to grab a drink - and they have decent outdoor seating, which is nice. I'd come back for the cebollitas alone.

    Chicken Quesadilla
    Genesis B.

    I got to the restaurant at 6:59PM and didn't receive my food until 7:48PM. The only thing I order was a quesadilla which to my surprise was not a quesadilla it was more of an empanada it was tiny. So if you're looking to get full, this is not the meal to get. The service was super slow. I honestly would not come here again.

    Great food, perfect service. The restaurant had a real movie feel for some reason. Dark, moody but a perfect place to hang with friends. Carne asada tacos were okay (had tomatoes which isn't my vibe), wish the chicken was a little more shredded, and the carnitas were good but not fantastic. I did see a review that said the guacamole was to die for and they were not lying. I would come back just for that.

    There's something in a name and in this case the name tells you exactly what you're going to get; a superior product. So tacos are definitely my love language and all tacos are not created equally so I'm kinda picky about where my tacos come from. I was on a date at nearby Domino Park and looked into this spot. Our server Masha was super sweet, introduced herself , shared a little of her history with the restaurant and made great recommendations. We went with a variety of tacos that included: the fish, garlic shrimp, spicy pulled chicken. While those were being made, we started with the guacamole and chips. I don't know all the ingredients that was in that salsa but Baybee when I tell you that thing had a kick to it. Even the Jamaican in me couldn't fully handle it. It was giving 50 Jamaican hot peppers. When we did get the tacos, the fish was super fresh and tasteful. The shrimps were all garlicky and succulent and while the chicken wasn't as loved and was super messy ( which I don't like)- everything was good. Bae had a Modello and I had the guava flavored margarita minus the spice. We left their on a high. Really great service, amazing food and vibes. I had only one gripe- Idk who was in control of the playlist was but it sounded like a bad American Idol contestant. Besides that, nothing to complain about. Do keep in mind they are CASH ONLY! They do have a roadside ATM that is $2 if you feel like choosing violence. When you're done, grab icecrean at Oddfellows down the street. Enjoy!

    Guac and chips
    Cole D.

    Surprised this is 3.5, because we had a great meal here! Complaints I have are small portions for tacos - like little stuff is inside the taco. Could be a heavier taco. The rajas tacos was really good and unique! The sauce is awesome. The fish taco was ok. The Guac and chips were to die for. Some of the best Guac I've ever had in my life. The chips are thick and have a great crunch. Outside seating. Service was fine. Cash only which is a little annoying.

    Large tamarind and guava margarita (opt for the tamarind)
    Leemor Y.

    Craving margaritas and tacos? Then give this place a try. They have a good amount of outdoor seating but it does fill up during peak times. My to go tos are the tamarind margarita (4.5/5), the shrimp tacos (5/5) and the cheese fondue (4/5). The cheese fondue is a great quantity/price ratio. The shrimp tacos are so delicious, and the tamarind margarita has the best taste IMO. Enjoy!

    attentive and friendly staff, drinks are sting and pretty good, we had tacos and enjoyed the quiet Sunday evening. Good quality ingredients.

    Taco de Don Luis and Carnitas tacos
    Amanda D.

    This spot is such a taco gem! Found it by accident, just walking by the door was open and it smelled amazing. They have a bunch of different taco options with some well know tacos and others a bit more creative. I went with one Taco de Don Luis (citrus chicken and a spicy avocado sauce) and one carnitas taco. The tacos aren't very large but have a ton of meat on them. The Taco de Don Luis was amazing. So flavorful, the chicken cooked perfectly. I could have ordered a dozen! The carnitas was okay, just a tiny bit dry, it came with a sauce to fix that so it was good overall.

    Can't remember the name but so tasty

Everyone that works there is super attentive and for how busy they are they always make sure to check up on your table. Their tacos are extremely delicious, they don't hold back with make sure each taco is full of any kind of meat that you get! Full of flavor and just looking at them reminds you why they're the best. Some other notable things that you should get is the quesadillas and the nachos they have. I'll have to keep coming back to try other things. Great place for sporting events as well as I was here with a group to watch Brazil vs Morocco and stayed to watch the Knicks win right after and become champions!

This neighborhood gem offers an industrialized minimalist form of decor with pops of color and art. Cozy but roomy, the bar area had mostly 2 seater tables and a few with high chairs. We recently went for a birthday brunch. Restaurant Week was still in effect but we decided to choose from the regular brunch menu. Place was low key and giving neighborhood vibes. The service was 10 STARS! Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. We were also checked on by a second staff member who I think may have been a manager but cannot be certain. We started with cocktails and they serve chips and salsa gratis. I had the Jalapeno and Hibiscus Margarita and my friend ordered the Pepper Margarita with Strawberry and Chipotle. Mine was a bit on the sweet side without a hint of tequila. My friend's drink definitely was the better of the two. Not overly sweet and definitely a flavor of tequila was present. We also ordered a guacamole. I must say it was quite small and barely served 2 people. I suggest if more than 2 guests are part of the experience, order more than one. For my entree, I requested a market salad and 2 veggie tacos with a side of birria consume. Salad was very fresh and I am sure was made to order as opposed to premade a week prior and waiting in a fridge to be served. My tacos were average but satisfying. The consume was a bit disappointing as it was more of a water/broth based and not of a typical gravy consistency. It was not exciting. My friend's entree was the highlight of the experience. She had the brisket quesadilla. Never have I seen a quesadilla with a crispy outside such as this. A culinary masterpiece indeed. She consumed it all and not one complaint afterward. Delish. We did receive a complimentary Churro plate for the birthday celebration. They were drizzled with caramel and berries. Served warm, they were a dream for the palate. I did use the bathroom which was a single stall. It was clean enough but not well lit. The biggest downfall of my experience was the temperature of the restaurant. I understand it is summer, however, there was no A/C and the inside was extremely hot. I sweated through my entire experience. Even the bathroom felt like 100 degrees. We did not complain but our waitress noticed and brough a fan out to circulate the air. They do have ceiling fans but honestly I did not feel them. The management/owner should consider more temperature control methods during the hotter months as it was quite uncomfortable. To sum it up, I thought this experience was mostly positive and would patronize it again.

Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
