Bjorn L.August 19, 2015Oh wow just every single taco on their mile-long taco menu. The grilled tilapia taco may be my favorite. Breaded shrimp taco also amazing. All amazing. Maybe my favorite restaurant in NYC right now.
The guacamole and margaritas are the bomb and they're part of the happy hour special. The Jamaica Margarita is delicious, but the Tamarind on left me flat. Cash only!

kat popielJune 26, 2015The Villamelon is everything. Get the grilled Hongas & mix em together. Also delicious: jicama salad, chorizo rice, carnitas tacos & you would fool not to get down with their Michaeladas.
Madeline CroninOctober 14, 2013Fish taco > Pastor taco. Do noT bring a vegetarian here. The cactus taco is lackluster and is the only veggie taco option. That said Everything else was incredibly tasty.
Adrian PhillipsAugust 4, 2018Cash only. Start with the chips and guacamole, order some ceviche and top it all off with some large mezcal margaritas. There’s an ATM next door if you forget cash.
SalAugust 28, 2016Asada Tacos were great! Can't say the same for the Enchiladas Suizas, though. Service was decent. Will probably be back only for tacos. And drinks.
Flynn M.August 30, 2013Um, like, if you give even half a damn about Mexican food come here. Like a suped up La Superior but with the great perk of more seating comfortable for a group. You get tamarind candy in the Michis!
Noah NormanAugust 24, 2016There is something about this place - probably the lack of pretense - that makes you forget how very good it is until the food lands in front of you again. Just rad tacos.
Foxxy BMay 30, 2017The happy hour is pretty good (2 for 1 margs, half off guac, etc.) but expect the staff to be sticklers about the orders & details. Food is good (the shrimp soup is HOT, guac is bomb). Cash only!
Marc SchneebergerJune 1, 2017Great tacos, similar to La superior, although the prices are not so cheap. Its a good place to hang put in williamsbourg.
Food is delicious as one would expect from the owners of La Superior & Cantina Royale. Wish the menu included their amazing guacamole, salsas and quesadillas.
Elvis RodricksMarch 26, 2015Great place to go with a group. Thought their margaritas were good and their tacos. The shrimp and beef tongue tacos were standouts for me.
Christine DaCruzJune 21, 2015Go for Margarita happy-hour 3-7pm, buy one get one free. A very comfortable place to watch a soccer game and get your drink on.- Alex PyatetskyNovember 22, 2015Quite delicious. A bit pricy, like La Superior, but all the tacos are delicious. Reminded me of Mexico City.
Same owner as la superior and just as good / less crowded and grungy. No wait on a Sat night + amazing drinks. 👏- The duck enchiladas (with a delicate mole sauce) are so very good and the shrimp tacos left me wanting more!
Maria Jose Ortega ArenaNovember 2, 2013As a mexican, believe me, this is where you have to come to have a great mexican meal and the BEST micheladas.
Eunice KimSeptember 13, 2015Best fancy tacos in New York. Also, just go ahead and get the large marg. They're pretty generous with the tequila.
Joshua IngramFebruary 15, 2015Hands down best Tacos in the NYC. Epic selection and very high quality. Oh - and they are cheap!
Jon MaimonDecember 22, 2013Vegetarian offering just ask. Portobello mushroom tacos served simply without toppings, but packed with flavor.
Katy MAugust 25, 2013Don't be afraid of beef tongue & cheek with skin mixed in! Also, if you eat takeout several times a week (like I do) use the salt shaker.- The best tacos in NY. Please try al pastor and costilla tacos! Love this place!
alambre all the time, especially the one with steak + shrimp
Amazing Micheladas. Make sure to ask for a tamarind stick.
Leah HammerschlagMay 22, 2015Hit or miss food & service. The costilla had zero flavor. The duck was insanely dry. The fish & cecina were pretty tasty. Good margaritas.
Margo MindnichFebruary 27, 2015Beach vibes year round. Get a tamarind marg and start with the cebollines
Phil ProbertMay 22, 2014Great food but horrible service. Staff is straight up sleepwalking with a smile
Jess MireauOctober 4, 2015Disappointing. We ordered 5 tacos and every single one was bland and flavorless. We were really looking forward to this place too. 😔
Pamela RogelJune 8, 2015Very sadly this place has awesome food but horrible service. First the bartender a guy long hair with glasses that speaks spanish refused to answer my questions in spanish. Ruddde. Then prepare my dri
