Really awesome mexican food. The price is good too, with various today's specials. I also tryied their sangria with blue berries on top, and it's the best one I've drunk.

The Frozen Sangria has us coming back time and time again. $5.50 gets you a glass full of dark-red slush that's simultaneously tart and sweet, and dotted with very-chewable frozen blueberries. Read more

It's a cute casual little spot for like 4 friends max. Great salsa, and whatever Manhattan version of "authentic" Mexican is. That's not a dig, the food is actually great.
Dan GruzmanOctober 25, 2014
Almost everything comes in a massive portion, and the salsa with the free chips is amazing and fresh. Frozen sangria is a bit pricey but worth trying at least once and will last you the whole meal.

Great place for vegan Mexican food. My go to is the Dylan in Durango, which is a garlicky kale and butternut squash burrito. Nachos with vegetarian chorizo are also great.

Everithing is amazing! From the free starter chips to the meal itself. Mix the meat in the tacos so there are no plain ones... and the sangría is just wow!

Love the free chips and salsa you help yourself to, the delicious vegan and vegetarian options like the BBQ tempeh and the frozen margaritas and sangria! 🍹
Brooke BaumgartSeptember 12, 2013
Delicious free chips. Also great vegan and veggie options. I love that you can get any burrito in a bowl. Makes it super healthy. I enjoyed my dinner with no regrets :)

I had heard this rumor these were the folks who owned Curly's Vegetarian Lunch and its TRUE! Finally able to have my fav vegan Mexican food again & there are still adorable pictures adorning the walls

$8 lunch special was legit. 2 menu items, soda and all the chips and salsa you can eat. Spicy chicken and and grilled steak were choice meats
Kathy MatthiesenMarch 7, 2016
Frozen sangria! Or if you're feeling spicy, get a pitcher of El Tigre - a mix of the frozen sangria and the frozen wine margarita

Dined here with family. The staff was patient with my vegetarian order. Love the grilled vegetable in a burrito bowl and the sangria that came with blueberries :) LOVE.

I love their steak tacos! The steak is slightly sweet with great spices. One of my favorite taco places!

Order a horchata (or sangria if you're in the mood) and the chilaquiles w/ a fried egg. Your hangover will cower in fear.

Loved the huevos rancheros and served all day!!! Hot sauce was homemade and tasted like Pappasitos in houston!! Yummm

Great views from the penthouse suite! The PETA protestors can get a little loud outside, though, because of all the beds are giant turtle shells you climb inside like a tent.
Brigitte JansenSeptember 28, 2014
Best playlist in the city and very good authentic Mexican food at a good price! Fun decor. Highly recommend!
Janice KarbachinskiyNovember 7, 2015
SO delicious! Great lunch menu gives you perfectly portioned tastes of their amazing food
Rishi SatsangiAugust 28, 2014
Fresh made salsa, great ingredients, not a sloppy taquería. Great service. Again, quality ingredients!
Mia ANovember 30, 2018
Very cozy place with delicious & huge portions, but beware the vegan chorizo is extremely salty! 😖
Luca SartoriSeptember 9, 2014
Good tasty Mexican food with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options
Hadas MaimonSeptember 3, 2014
Bbq tempeh tacos! Veggie chorizo! what else could you want + affordable margaritas!

Awesome vegetarian/vegan options. The Baja BBQ burrito was delicious.
Aly BlakeSeptember 17, 2016
Bomb margarita. Also really solid nachos. Servers are lovely as is the crowdsourced decor.

GET THE FROZEN SANGRIA, AND BE ECONOMICAL BY GETTING THE HALF-PITCHER! GOOD JOB, YOU ECONOMIST
soniaMarch 19, 2015
SO many vegetarian options. The lunch special is $7.95 and you get two options and a soft drink.

Great food, had a burrito and it was amazing. Awesome 90's hip hop and r&b playing, free chips and salsa and not to mention BYOB!
James GreenJuly 16, 2015
Free, self-serve chips and salsa. Great meat and vegetarian options. Beer.

Frozen Sangria is great. The Pork is always very dry. The chips are always very stale. Sometimes order items are forgotten. Sometimes they add 10$ tips onto your orders after you leave.

Vegan condiment paradise! Daiya cheese, tofu sour cream, killer guacamole, they've got it all!
NatalieJune 12, 2011
Help yourself to all the DELICIOUS chips and salsa you want. Fantastic service, yummy vegan chow. Soy chicken mole burrito FTW!
JillianDecember 25, 2014
Visually, my quesadilla delivery was what I can only describe as a saucy, soggy, sad mess. That's a lot of s's. Taste-wise, sufficient.
Nina NiremaSeptember 13, 2012
Great Mexican food. Order a pitcher of frozen sangria for the table. Sweet but delicious!
Tony WJune 26, 2012
A great find! Salsa is excellent, chips are good and salty and the entrees are a good value!
JillMarch 4, 2013
The burrito bowl was yummy-it's hiding at the bottom of the menu though so don't miss it!

Frozen sangria, enchiladas, Belgian chocolate mousse cake.
Cindy TApril 3, 2011
The vegetarian chicken mole burrito is delicious and filling. The restaurant is currently BYO, but a beer & wine license is in the works.
AlineAugust 17, 2015
Try the frozen Margarita, and the quesadillas, sooo good!
Becca BaeMarch 9, 2015
Ridiculously good brunch special. Get the frozen sangria!
