Unfortunately this place fell a bit flat to me. The guacamole was not good, it just tasted like…read morepure mashed avocado to me without enough cilantro, onion and lime to give it that beautiful flavor. The salsa was alright but too spicy for me personally and the quesadilla was okay but was a bit soggy and kept falling apart. I know it's hard to keep a quesadilla together but I think it just needed a bit more toasting and cheese to bind it all together. I loved the decor inside though, I enjoyed the chandelier made of bottles and the overall festive, authentic looking vibe!

The stone ground corn tortillas are good enough to eat by themselves but you'll love the fillings: we had chipotle-braised chicken tacos, marinated chicken tacos & fish (batter fried cod) tacos with spicy mayo. There are some cool specials such as grilled nopales. The "fixings" (salsa verde, pico de gallo, salsa roja) are DIY & are in cool, ceramic (clay?) bowls on a side counter, along with plasticware, ice water & napkins. There are great & flavorful drinks (alcoholic & non-alcoholic) served here, as well. Regulars float in & out, prices are moderate & you can eat @ a counter n the mid-century modern-outfitted, exposed beamed high ceilinged inside, or outside under umbrellas. It feels like a very personal, creative & unique venture. You should try it!

The service was friendly and patient, and they did their best to keep up with our large party. I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were delicious -- the tortilla chips were perfectly soaked but still had a nice bite, the salsa was flavorful with just the right level of spice, and the eggs were cooked just right. The queso fresco and crema on top brought everything together beautifully. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that it took a while for all the food to come out (understandable with a group our size), and a few drink refills took some time. But overall, we were impressed with how well the staff managed everything. I'd definitely come back, especially for the chilaquiles

We'd killed two birds with the same stone when hubs had to gas up the 10' U-Haul at Valero on Ulster Ave in Kingston before returning it when I noticed Taste Of M. The heat and humidity were both thick and getting only refreshments while hubs pumped was the right thing to do at that moment. They have mostly beef, chicken and pork dishes- but sometimes they may carry fish for their tacos- so call ahead if fish is your primary protein. If fish is not in that day, these ladies can turn any item on the menu and create a Vegetarian one for you. The Agua de Jamaica for hubs and my Horchata I ordered are huge at $5ea and did the trick nicely. Service is swift then you're good to go. While I didn't go for their eats, this truck might just hit the spot.

Some of us got coffees which took a bit but they were delicious. Definitely worth the wait. They have a good kids menu too. We got the frychos with chorizo as an appetizer which I've always loved but everyone at the table enjoyed them. Although I have my regular favorites I decided to try something off the brunch menu and I'm glad I did. I got the chilaquiles with green sauce and carne asada. It was very good. My only complaint was the steak wasn't cut up but that could be a personal preference. It tasted great. My husband got the breakfast torta with chorizo and really liked it. My mother in law got the breakfast omelet and she's very picky but loved it. The service was great the entire time. She even took a group photo for us at the end.

That's what it smelled like as well Quesabirria tacos were good however they do not dip the tortillas before grilling and they use one tortilla per taco . Consommé served warm ( not acceptable it must be hot) Shrimp taco had very overcooked shrimp. Seasoning barely noticeable ( one tortilla so it fell apart when I picked it up) Original spicy torta: this restaurant does not have or use refried beans for tortas . They didn't give me a meat option they said oh we made a birria torta we thought it's what you wanted. They offered to swap it but if you are familiar with chefs and cooks you just no thank you and take it. According to the staff they are a California style restaurant? I've seen California tortas and they are the same as New York. The protein options did not include Milanesa style chicken or steak Very nice very clean restaurant. The young lady who took the order comped us a lime Aqua Fresca and a sample of churros in hopes we will return. I made no complaints as the order was to go.

My husband and my daughter got chicken burritos with rice and beans. They were huge and tasted delicious. I had a shrimp chimichanga and my daughter had carne asada dish that we both enjoyed. My dish was a very generous portion and filled with shrimp. I had to take the star away due to barely any heat in the dining room. We were freezing and I couldn't wait to be done eating. Our hair was still wet from swimming and we were not happy to be so cold. When we asked the waitress, she was very apologetic but said the heat cannot be adjusted as the walls have poor insulation.

I had the three-bean taco, which was a bit bland for my taste. I added a side of mango salsa to help balance out the beans and pickled onions, which improved the flavor. The reason for the 4-star rating is mostly due to the chips--they had a cinnamon flavor I wasn't a fan of. Also, there's no printed menu, just a chalkboard that's a little hard to read, and they only accept cash. So just a heads-up: bring cash if you plan to eat here.

House-made flour tortilla chips blanketed in Mexican cheeses, black beans, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, tomatoes, lettuce and generous lashings of crema.

Was baby shark coming from a phone at the next booth over? Yes, but somehow it didn't matter, the food was so comforting. They bake Mexican pastries there too, and it seems like they've added pizza.
