Ordered the beef torta this evening and immediately went on to Yelp and got FOMO that I didn't…read moreorder the tacos which all look amazing. I really need to remember to look online before choosing my order in the future (or so I thought). While the tacos still look incredible (especially the birria ones), the torta was surprisingly great as well. The sandwich is jam packed with ingredients and really well balanced. The beef was juicy and tender, and the veggies added a really nice balance of spice (jalapenos), freshness (onions, lettuce, and tomatoes), and richness (cheese and avocadoes). The refried beans were a pleasant surprise as well, adding really good moisture and flavor to the overall bite. And including avocado on the torta for no extra cost really is what put this above and beyond to a 5/5 - the avocado was ripe and had just the right amount of it to add that rich and fatty element without being too slippery and making it hard to eat. The fries, on the other hand, were a bit soggy and thick for my liking. I had seen another photo on Yelp where they looked a lot crispier and were shaped differently, so not sure if I just got unlucky, but the sandwich more than made up for the fries in this case. I really can't say enough positive things about the torta. And even though the torta was fantastic and I gave it a 5/5, I definitely want to come back for those tacos. Three tacos plus rice for $18 is a pretty great deal, and the tacos really look incredible. My partner ordered a tongue, al pastor, and fish taco and while I didn't try them, they looked and smelled incredible. We will definitely be back!

Delicious carne asada and al pastor tacos. Service was very good, I will definitely be back again.read more

Burritos, tacos, tortas, papusas, and much more are offered. This is not a sit down restaurant, you go to the front order your food and find a spot to sit down.

This spot is minutes away from Sullivan Square, there are meter parking spots but no parking lot. Open fairly late and is always good for some late night munchies.

We also ordered the Tampiqueña, a huge, perfectly seasoned and tender beef, plus a cheese enchilada, rice and beans -- enough for two people. The staff were helpful and super-nice. My partner had a margarita, which was enormous and perfect. My only complaint is that there's no mole on the menu!! (I've since learned that mole isn't a 'thing' in Jalisco.)

We got the Pulpo Al Pastor, the…read moreguacamole, and the Volcano Molcajete, which had beef, shrimp, pork, al pastor, cheese, nopales, rice and beans. Basically, the whole yard. The meat was cooked so well. Everything was so tender and juicy, and there was just so much food. I went back again this week for Mexican Independence Day, this time with my cute date. We shared the Queso con Chorizo and the Guacamole con Chicharrón. Honestly, those two things could have been dinner because the portions are so generous. Don't be fooled by the size of the queso plate. That thing is deep. Seriously, there is a LOT of queso in there. They also give you a generous amount of chicharrón with the guacamole. The chicharrón tasted warm, almost like it had just been fried, and added a really nice crunch to the guac. For a main, I had the octopus tacos, which had a lot of octopus in them. The watermelon and radish, along with the aioli, added such a nice contrast of sweet, savory, warm and cool. They were delicious. Honestly, my only problem with this place is that the food is so good and the portions are so fair that I had a hard time eating all of it. Oh well. We got to take some of it home, so I guess that's a good kind of problem. We also shared a flight of margaritas: the classic, mango, passionfruit, and watermelon. I think a flight is actually great for two people, unless you want to get crunk! The restaurant is very "instagramable" and the service was excellent. Overall, I think this is a great place for a date night with good eats and drinks!

We each ordered the quezzabiria (birria tacos). My friend got the horchata which she said was one of the best ones she's ever had. Our tacos were delicious. Not huge--but filling! Plus she asked if we wanted salsa--they were good! The orange one was spicy but the green one I loved, not too spicy but just enough for me to handle. A few more parties came in after so I was happy.
