The seating area is small, clean and calming. It's a peaceful place with a varied menu. It f you're a visitor (like me), you may not find your usual Mexican dishes on the menu, but there is absolutely something for everyone! From Mexican fair to ribs & burgers, you won't be disappointed. We had a few things: Pork Chops, Burger, and ribs. There is also rice, fries, salad, beans, etc. I had the pork chops and they Came with rice, beans, fries, salad, and 2 nice sized chops. The thin gravy/sauce on the perfectly cooked/tender pork was delicious!! So good that I dipped my fries into it to eat. And I never do that!! The chops were so tender that I could cut them with a butter knife. I'd love to have them again and again. The burger as per the hubby was "really, really good". That's saying a lot for him! The ribs (as per my bestie) had a delicious bbq sauce and he loved the rice & beans as well. He ate all of them before touching the ribs. They also have several beers, make bar drinks, and have a good selection of things to try. The restaurant is not as fancy and trendy as many in the area, but this spot should have much higher ratings and is definitely worth a try. Oh, and the prices were good as well. So, bypass the standing taco place with its line, and give this me a try.

I wanted something that would be quick, but also very good!I went to Los Cuñados food truck in the Financial District, just a few blocks away from my hotel! It was a perfect spot to stop by for a quick meal! The setup is straight forward as you'd expect, but the aroma of this food truck alone was amazing! Following a very long travel day, I wanted something that would be satisfying, and they delivered! They have all of the standard fare including asada, carnitas, al pastor and some other authentic offerings if you're looking to try something different. One of the first things I noticed about my meal was that everything was extremely fresh. I ended up getting [2] Carne Asada tacos. The tortillas were warm and tender. The carne asada had an abundance of seasoning. There was a lot of guacamole topped on the tacos and the carne asada meat was super tender and juicy! I'm glad that I only got two! They were quite filling! The service was quick since it was relatively late at night and there wasn't too many customers. I brought my meal back to the hotel room to eat it. If you're in the Financial District and want something casual but genuinely good, especially after a long travel day or work, this is definitely worth the stop!

And even with my delivery order, the ingredients were great. The catch of the day fish was definitely fresh; the "tiger milk" marinade was packed full of citrus and spice; and the sweet potato side was a great contrast, almost soothing alongside the spicy ceviche. And the spicy sauce on the side is in fact spicy. Don't underestimate the punch that it packs, add it to your bowl with care. The corn left a little to be desired, but the dish overall was still excellent!

They have quite the selection of meat, but my favorite is Carne Enchilada. You'll get avocado, meat, beans, cheese, all on a beautifully toasted bun with some more veggies for like $12 or 13. We're not talking mexico prices here, but it's better and cheaper than what you're getting at a corporate spot, and the service is caring! Also, what better than looking at some office buildings or Moynihan train station while waiting for some food!

This Brazilian Food Stand is a hidden gem located in the Hungry Pearl Food Mall/Establishment in…read morethe Financial District. The location is centrally nested around many downtown landmarks such as the Staten Island ferry, Ferry to statue of Liberty and Ellis Island , Wall Street and South St. Seaport now known as Piet 17. The best way to this location is taking the NYC subway via 4 or 5 train to Bowling Green Station. Then walk about 5 minutes to this food hall. I had the Chickoen Coxinha which is the most traditional Brazilian filling. This stall has seven different fillings to choose from. It was the small size which came with 6 pieces of these fried balls with minced chicken & potato inside. It was my first time trying coxinha. It tastes like a crunchy mini fried mashed potato with deliciously seasoned boneless chicken inside. It's crispy outside and flavorful w/ soft texture inside. It's the perfect combination. For my drink I ordered a Brazilian canned soda. The taste is similar to the Japanese Soda in a glass bottle with a marble in it. After I received my entree, I ordered my dessert which were the mini churros which were perfectly sweet. My order was freshly fried and came hot. Service was efficient, friendly and staff was knowledgeable. I definitely recommend trying this little Brazilian food stall. Highly recommend it if you want to try something different and unique. I definitely will be back for more!

I always see African food cooked on social media or lately on Masterchef, and I've been so hungry to get a taste of it for myself. This spot is woman led and they are generous with the portions and really delivering quality and taste. I went with the citrus Chermoula salmon, jollof rice, fufu, vegetables, Mac and cheese, and for dessert - puff puff. My salmon was perfectly pink and juicy and the sauce they drizzled on top was the perfect balance for me. I was also really happy because I saw them go back at the end to give me an extra dollop of vegetables. Puff puff is a new dessert for me and I really enjoyed how it had an aftertaste of something fresh. I kept thinking cinnamon. Whatever it was, it was delicious and I would definitely get it again. I can't wait to come back!

PS- the refried black beans were next level. Scoop them up with any extra chips. Service was also great!

I ordered the carne asada and I did not expect it to look like it was flattened before grilling. I think the price didnt meet the expectation. Of course, each place has their own rendition of dishes, but this was not what anyone would expect for a carne asada entree. The service was good, nothing over the top and nothing underwhelming. I will say that I would probably stop by for a quick drink because the vibes were right. Cute Mexican theme with smaller tables for chill vibes and small conversations. I would say it would be great for a party of 1-4. The carne asada needs work, but the soup was delicious and great for the NYC winter :)

The pulled pork is okay, but the beef brisket was better. It was so tender and savory. The pulled pork did not pull off as easily as the beef brisket and was not as flavor full as the beef brisket.

This location is definitely a lot closer to my job! Too bad this one does not have seating at all. There is also no bathroom. Ordering was pretty easy. Staff assisting me was fast and I got my order in no time. I got the Monday special, which was black beans and white or yellow rice with a Cuban sandwich. I got white rice to pair with the black beans. The sandwich was pressed really flat! Kind of oily but it was very good with the green sauce! Green sauce is so damn good but wish it was much more spicier. Cannot really taste the spice at all but the consistency is pretty thick that I cleaned the green sauce with my tongue! I licked every drop I can get! They give you a nice platter full of rice and beans so I was so damn full after the meal! I also got a chicken and beef empanadas. The chicken won my heart and the beef was just chunks of grounded beef, which was kind of high in sodium in my option. It tasted like a Jamaican beef patty so I did not really like it that much. Going to get chicken from now on. The empanadas are good with the green sauce. Loaded so much green sauce on the empanada!
