The tacos are absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is warm, lively, and welcoming. They have an exceptional selection of premium tequilas and mezcals, and the beautiful décor paired with authentic Mexican music makes the whole experience feel special. A big thank you to Miguel, who made our visit unforgettable. His knowledge of tequila and mezcal is impressive, and he took the time to recommend several different mezcals based on our tastes. Every recommendation was excellent, and we had so much fun learning about and tasting each one. If you're looking for amazing Mexican food, outstanding drinks, and exceptional service, this is the place to go. I can't wait to come back to try more of their tequila and mezcal selection. Don't miss this hidden gem--you'll be glad you found it!

We loved the fact that it has indoor seating with a setup very similar to a Chipotle or Moe's. The flavor here is delicious. My husband got the surf-and-turf bowl, and I got a chicken salad. We customized them with pico de gallo, beans, rice, cilantro, and guacamole, and everything was incredibly good! It is a great place to stop by and get a quick bite before catching a train or heading into the city. One downside, unfortunately, is that there is no bathroom at this location, which was a bit of a disappointment. Regardless, the food was excellent! Estábamos buscando dónde cenar antes de subir al tren para ir a un concierto, y mientras caminábamos por Penn Station, este lugar nos llamó rápidamente la atención porque olía riquísimo. Nos gustó el hecho de que tiene mesas adentro, con un concepto muy similar al de Chipotle o Moe's. El sabor es delicioso. Mi esposo pidió el tazón de mar y tierra (surf and turf bowl) y yo pedí una ensalada de pollo; les agregamos pico de gallo, frijoles, arroz, cilantro y guacamole, y de verdad que estuvo buenísimo. Es un buen lugar para pasar a comer algo rápido antes de subir al tren o de salir a la ciudad. El único inconveniente es que, desafortunadamente, no hay baño en este local, lo cual fue una pequeña decepción. A pesar de eso, ¡la comida estuvo excelente!

Only issue is a couple rough characters came in taking free drinks and asking for free food, but overall not too bad.

Alright, so I had this crazy idea and asked if my intern would like to eat grasshoppers one day and…read morehe agreed to it. So the last week of his internship, I had taken him out to this cart to seek some hopper quesadilla. It was around the holiday season and it was a battlefield out there with all the tourists getting in our way. After not trying to run over the tourists game, we've finally made it to the stand. We've ordered hopper quesadilla and I've ordered a chicken torta and he ordered a burrito. We were so excited we again went about dodging the tourists on our way back to the office. Finally got back and we ate our lunch. The hopper quesadilla was good. The grasshoppers were crunchy, dry and a bit too salty. It did go better with the guac and salsa. I was able to eat a few bites of it because I had prior experience with eating grasshoppers at another place, which I will go in details in the review on how I handled it. My intern actually really liked the hopper quesadilla and ate most of it. He even wanted to save it for dinner haha. We offered some to the interns and one brave soul did try it and thought it was okay. The other interns probably think I'm a weird supervisor lol. Oh as for my chicken torta, it was HUGE, pretty tasty, and pretty messy. The fillings of the torta kept falling out and I felt like a slob. I mean when we ate the hopper quesadilla the little legs and heads were falling out too, so I guess this was meant to be a messy lunch. We cleaned up the table really good, making sure we didn't leave any leg or head laying around or else they might call an exterminator to come in and shutdown our cafeteria lol.

Also I got black beans instead of pinto beans, however I would much prefer to have some pinto beans. The enchiladas I got tasted like they have been sitting there for a while, even though I went to get my lunch at 12pm and the food was supposed to be fresh. I'm really disappointed at this food truck, maybe I'll give it a second try in a few months.

Stopped by Tacos del Barrio near Times Square with high hopes but was not too happy with my meal…read more The place was ok but fell short of my expectations. The place is fine and has a nice simple menu with a decent selection. I ordered the carne asada and al pastor quesadillas. The good part was that they do add a lot of meat inside the quesadillas and certainly did not skimp on the filling. However, I thought the meat was very bland. The meats had basically no flavor, but they did have a nice texture and tenderness. Additionally, I ordered mine with corn tortillas, and they fell apart almost as soon as I picked up the quesadillas, making it very difficult to eat them. Lastly, the quesadillas were very greasy. In terms of beverages, I did enjoy the piña agua Fresca. The location is convenient and the service was excellent, but the food isn't the best. It's not terrible but certainly not memorable enough to want to return again. There are definitely better options around Times Square to choose from.

This location was fairly clean and not too busy on a Thursday night. I placed my order via the app, and in no time at all I had two hot burritos with my name on them.

Not sure of the bathroom situation here but it did look like there was one way in the back. There were plenty of sauces out for me to take, the soda station also looked clean and maintained.
