Angel the bartender is fantastic. He makes great cocktails and is so friendly and enjoy talking with him. The food is great. Love going there with my husband and it’s so close to home.

We’ve never been to this location in person but we’ve been ordering from here through uber eats for like 6 years. There are a ton of taco places closer to us but THIS is the best we’ve ever had consistently. The tacos are overloaded with meats and they never skimp. They have my favorite carnitas and chorizo tacos in the whole city. We probably order from here 1-3x a month and the food always gets to us in Forest Hills well packed and still warm. If they go ever close down i might die.

This is based on chicken dishes, I haven’t tried other meats. First off, the food arrived cold or room temp, nothing arrived hot. The cheese was congealed and not very flavorful on the quesadillas. The chicken in the taco was overcooked and pretty bland. The only reason why it gave them 2 stars, was because of the chicken tinga burrito which was very good. This place is no different than the average Mexican on Roosevelt.

Went in Sunday to pick up a order I placed over the phone, patiently waiting to get attended while 1 of the waitresses was counting the $, there were 3 more other waitresses didn’t stop to say hi we’ll be right with you. Acted like they were busy when they were just gossiping. This was my to go restaurant but after that situation I will be taking my service elsewhere. The owner should change these waitresses

Went in to watch a soccer game and have a couple beers at the bar. The ladies were nice enough, specially with me, but I felt they had some attitude with the “locals”, maybe a little too much (even “talking” about tips, not good).

THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT,BUT I WAITED 35 MINUTES FOR MY TAB. Hands down the food is super fresh. You must wait a bit for them to prepare it ,but once you get it is crazy good.If you want authentic well done Mexican food this is the place. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because alot can improve on the service side. No one assigned us a seat. No host greated or directed us to a table. People walked in search of a table. And my tab took 35 minute to come after asking 6 times. Do not come to dine here at late hour, as this is not in the safest neighborhood unless u have a ride.

The food arrived to my home after delivery in disgusting condition. Please refer to the attached pictures for further information. This definitely doesn’t look like a $30 plate of aire, mar y tierra. I lost my appetite. Please rectify this situation.
