Steven
The enchiladas suizas was very delicious, excellent flavor and well portion size for the price. Had a Piña colada which was very refreshing. The waiter was very attentive and server kept refilling the water glass…no need to ask someone. A restaurant in NYC which doesn’t charge a fee to use a credit card too! Definitely will be back here again. Had a great dinner experience.

Originally my friends and I were going to go with Asian food. But somehow we came across this restaurant right across the street where we were standing. We walked in on a Sunday night. It was a little bit crowded. We waited by the bar but then we got moved to a table. Service was A+ everyone was very nice and attentive. They kept asking us if we were okay. True authentic Mexican food. I recommend trying out their churros and the chocolate flan!

Delicious and well-cooked food. The nachos portion is bigger than expected and a tough one to finish.

Wow !! What an amazing meal, everything was so fresh and delicious and the service was excellent and prompt, very professional and friendly. Very attentive. The venue is bright, warm and colorful and very traditional with great mexican background music. Definitely a great brunch and dinner location for a nice date or a group outing.

Great food and great service! Waiters are attentive and super polite. I got the shrimp enchiladas and they were so good. Main dish portion was huge. The only thing that disappointed me was the guac – it was $15 and really small. Wish they would make it bigger or lower the price. Overall would eat here again.

Great food, super flavorful and interesting menu with a variety of meats and seafoods and vegetarian/vegan options. Fun atmosphere inside, outside on patio, and outside in individual plastic pods. Reasonable portions for price, not huge but good. Also, they didn’t let my water glass become empty, and that’s a hard feat for most places because I drink A LOT of water. Kudos.

So fantastic that we did something we’ve never done on a trip before: We visited the same restaurant two nights in a row!

I absolutely love it here. I’ve been here a few times and I always walk away feeling super happy — the food is AMAZING but the service is EVEN better. Very attentive, always taking into account any requests and really go above and beyond to make the experience a wonderful one. The delicious cocktails are a bonus. The nachos are always a must!

This place had super fun cocktails! We got margarita and sangria! The queso was absolutely delish and the mole and shrimp enchiladas were also yummy! Service was also good! They have individual outdoor seating with heaters as well. Would recommend!
