    Really great tacos and really great price! I particularly loved their atmosphere inside even though there was limited seating. They also have nice carry out containers that make eating easy. Loved the location too!

    Birria Burrito

    I was super excited to try this place because of the great reviews. My birria burrito was inedible because the birria was 100% fat. See attached photo. Super bummed and disappointed.

    These tacos hit the spot. The balance of flavors was just right, and the ingredients tasted super fresh. The salsa had a great kick without being overpowering. The portion was just right for a satisfying meal. Will definitely be back.

    This spot started out as a food truck, and they opened up this location a few years ago. The place is small but nicely decorated with cool artwork displayed on the walls. There are a few stools if you want to eat in, but mostly is a takeout place. I've tried out their tacos and homemade quesadillas, and the food here is pretty flavorful. On my last visit, I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was stuffed with chicken and a good amount of cheese. The service is fast and efficient, and food is usually ready pretty quickly. The prices are very reasonable. If you're in the mood for good Mexican food, I would definitely recommend it.

    I've been waiting for the right time to try this new truck that showed up to the Washington Heights a couple weeks ago. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised and happy as I'm eating right now. I had the birria tacos that were great. The meat was not salty as some others I've had. From order to getting my order it only took about 8 minutes and were very friendly and accommodating.

    Small delicious taco place. They have a few high top chairs inside to enjoy your food but wouldn't recommend bring a large group to dine in here. Tacos are made on double corn tortillas which taste super fresh and authentic. My favorite was the lengua (beef tongue) followed by the al pastor and then the carne asada. All of the meat was tender but could have been more flavorful. Some friends got the cemitas which is basically a Mexican sandwich on a sesame roll and enjoyed them.

    It's a small hole in the wall kind of place, with a welcoming atmosphere. We ordered three types of tacos: Asada, carnitas and chicken. They were absolutely delicious. And the tomatillo sauce and chili sauce was yummy. The lady behind the counter had a smile and was helpful and friendly. If I'm ever back in that area, I will definitely go again.

    This was delivery through Uber eats. I got a carnitas (steak) taco and a spicy pork with pineapple taco. Both 3.50 to 4.00 each. Fairly good flavors, but I prefer my stuff a little spicier. Also got the gringas quesadilla (Oaxaca cheese, al pastor meat, Jack cheese, onion). I loved the gently browned, crispy tortilla. And the guac was mild, could've used a little seasoning, but I know it's hard to meet different tastes. Lots of staples--tacos, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, all seemingly authentic and reasonably priced. Would definitely try again.

    I had been craving tacos all week. I thought seeing this taco truck was going to be the highlight of my day... until I got home to no salsa on my tacos after purchasing from the truck on the corner just before 99th. Did they maybe run out of salsa and just didn't say anything? Was I supposed to know to ask for salsa as a first-time customer? Me personally, as someone who has had countless taco truck experiences in my New York City life, all I know is that the small salsa verde and/or salsa roja sauce cups come with the tacos or you will at least be asked you if you want to purchase salsa at an additional charge. Not here. My, how nice the lady was who took my order! The tacos were $3 each and they don't even charge extra for steak-- all tacos are created equal here-- I love that! I really admire the diversity of the main dishes but they failed to be inclusive of salsa. How did the un-salsafied tacos taste? Like peanut butter with no jelly. Like salad with no dressing. Like a bird with no wings... you get the picture. Decent by itself but you can taste that something was missing to make it spectacular. The meat wasn't juicy enough to be abandoned by sauce. I wish I had a heads up on the taco-salsa split... those two always seemed to have the perfect marriage so I wasn't prepared to see them apart. Aaaahhh, so underwhelmed!

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...."

I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.
