    The food was great. The tamales were on point a usual and the lady was incredibly nice and friendly. 11/10 would recommend.

    Consistently tasty tamales for $2 each. The stand located in front of CVS. It's cash only.

    So nice. But she recently jacked the prices from $1 to $1.25 per tamale. I know, right?!

    Best tamales EVER!!! They are now $1.25, but SO worth it. You can get chicken, pork, cheese, or mole (I think), spicy or non spicy.

The front of house "girls" said a table would be available 1-2 hours but a seat at the upstairs bar was immediately available...tired and hungry we agreed. The kicker was: the upstairs tables were *completely unoccupied* and remained so for the hour or so it took to serve us a couple of drinks and eat a meal while seated at the bar. While the food and bar service was great, we expressed out disappointment of not being allowed to sit at a table in the *entirely vacant* upper level (BTW, it was wonderfully quiet up there, compared to downstairs). Excuses ranged from "short staffed" (despite three young women at front of house being deep in conversation with themselves) to "no server upstairs" , both clearly BS as someone clearly served us, but they were apparently "runners" not "servers". WTF? Seriously?! Heaven forbid two people sit at a table in an otherwise totally empty upper level. OK, I'm still tired and cranky, but suggest whoever owns this gem on 45th St give their management some Faulty Towers management training: "Manuel, let me explain something to you...." Food: excellent. Prices. Very reasonable. Bar staff: wonderful: Management/front of house: rather clueless

    Jeron the new guy help us! Great service very attentive will be back again beautiful and classy…read moreplace to eat great food
