Looking for a place to eat, I stopped by this restaurant at random and I’m so glad I did. Service was friendly from the beginning and while small, it can accommodate groups and it’s also kid friendly with space to park a stroller and high chairs available. Food and drinks came out quick and everything was delicious. I agree with everyone that this is one of the best places for drinks. Nothing watered down here. I left totally satisfied and highly recommend this restaurant.

Fun semi fast food Mexican joint, cousin of the one on UES. Good tacos, nice quesadilla with huitlacoche, a Mexican mushroom you don’t often see. Very nice staff.. they pretty much take the order and disappear till it’s ready. Street is very noisy for outdoor dining but the interior is very open and airy. Good midtown in-a-rush choice

Chorizo quasidilas and chicken tacos were really good. Steak tacos were insanely hot (spicy) and we loved it! Great atmosphere! Didn’t like the guacamole. Some sour cream and salsa for the quasidilas would have made it perfect.

Probably the best tortilla I ever had. The coconut flan was delicious! Cozy place, great staff!

Great service! Sat down and received food quickly. Shrimp tacos were delicious. Liked the passion fruit cocktail (forgot the name) but would prefer without a salt rim

This was our first time here with my boyfriend. We asked if they had a happy hour and the server or hosts didn’t even know. We sat at the bar and the bartender never said hi or something. We ordered 2 beers and we ask for a glass; they give me a hot glass. We ordered a guacamole and tortillas chips; it was horrible. We finished our drink. The bartender wasn’t busy; he was just busy talking about video game and other stuff with what I think was his friend. He never came to ask us if everything was ok or if we want something else. This was my first and last time coming here.

We just stopped in for drinks and our bartender was wonderful. The spicy daisy was definitely the favorite. I did the pepino Diablo and while it was super refreshing, I wouldn’t do it again. The cucumber muddled was too much in the drink itself

The guacamole was out of this world, super tasty, but sadly that was all the nice things I can say about this place. We had several different tacos, but we couldn’t make out any different flavours from them = they all tasted more or less the same. No spiciness nor anything else fun.

Really disappointing. The flavours of both the Camaron taco and the bowl (Judy bowl, I think it’s called) hit the… meh! Feeling.

Loved how “on theme” this restaurant was. The man who took our order was welcoming and extremely helpful. The menu above was in Spanish, so he handed us menus the gave a more in detail description of the items in English. My shrimp bowl was absolutely delicious. The shrimp had a nice char and were succulent and sweet. Everything tasted fresh. I wish my food was a wee bit hotter. I ordered the frozen fruit margarita which I also enjoyed. I should of gotten salt on the rim to counter balance the sourness. I would definitely go back again.
