For all my sensitive stomach people, don’t. Food was good, nothing special but good. But afterwards I looked like I’m 6 months pregnant and me and my boyfriend’s felt so heavy we had to go straight home and sleep( and we eat a lot of Mexican food )

We came here last weekend for a quick late afternoon lunch / early dinner. We were quickly seated and overall great service! At first it was really quiet as I noticed there was no music playing, so I ended up hearing other people’s conversations, but the staff realized it was quiet too and got the music going. The drinks were good, we just missed boozy brunch, so we still ordered drinks, we did get a margarita pitcher, the only one thing I’d say is that it was a little more sour than I’m used to, but with that said, I needed a drink and it’s still a drink that didn’t go to waste. The food was also delicious and we were full!

I had a blast here. I don’t know if it’s $5 only on Tuesdays but they are truly strong and flavorful. The food I got presentation wise was far from impressive BUT it didn’t matter because it was good AND inexpensive. Our servers were great as well. Really good time, will be back!!

A cute and very authentic Mexican spot in east village. Went there for a late brunch. Our server was incredibly sweet and helpful. Noting that I could get only vegetarian options or fish, she guided me through the menu and even offered to get me a Virgin pina colada. My friends who were with me also loved the place. We got the following dishes:

Guac and sauces with it are incredible! Customer service is sometimes amazing and sometimes so so. I wish they prioritized it which would change the atmosphere completely, by making customers feel more welcomed.
