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.

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.

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.

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!

Cinco de Mayo landed on my radar when a bunch of us at work were looking for a place to grab some…read morelunch. We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

First time here - pretty solid meal with decent pricing as well…read more I got the cinco de mayo plate which came with beef. Good lunch portion and it was also pretty tasty. Also got guacamole and chips as a side - which was on the smaller side given the price. All in all it's a good lunch option in the city!

I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. 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.

What a GORGEOUS space. Whoever interior decorated this restaurant deserves their tens because it is…read morea spectacle. I had only seen daytime pics, but being there in the evening is a treat. If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
