Cool bar to hang in. Great food!
Kyle PereraJune 23, 2015
It's good for a small portion of food. I recommend the tacos
Ann-KathryneFebruary 15, 2013
Cafe music at night will make you wish it was a club! It's great.
Schmek StefanieApril 26, 2019
Great ##
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 10, 2015
Sangria here is some of the best in the city.

I'll still use the taco stand, but I won't set foot back in the upselling hellhole that is the dining room. Our server was a relentless money grubber. I felt like a tourist in Times Square.
Sabrina WangJuly 9, 2015

Everyone knows to get the corn, but try the rice milk. Get it to go and walk around the hood.
Amy SpriggsJuly 26, 2013
Plantain upside-down cake with toasted almond ice cream = highly recommended
Sahil KathawalaFebruary 2, 2016
the horchata is amazing and refreshing
DesireéApril 18, 2021
the music. the margs. the vibes
AlcioneJuly 10, 2012
Once you are finally able to get a reservation, get the the corn. Your welcome.
Marc SchneebergerJuly 1, 2016
Everythink perfect thats the best definition :)
Ginger StanleyApril 5, 2015
Carnitas and avocado tacos with mango soda!
Pat McGowanJuly 23, 2014
Fish tacos, guac, people watching
Kevin NgApril 24, 2015
Upstairs or in the cave downstairs, tacos galore.
Jon PressmanJanuary 3, 2017
Grilled fish taco is perfection
Joseph MisitiSeptember 18, 2012
this place is over-rated and it takes them 45 minutes to make your tacos. do yourself a favor and keep walking north to tacombi on Elizabeth and e Houston
Sekou PyleDecember 27, 2012
Fish tacos are worth the trip alone! Sneak down to the tequila bar...
Andrew D.May 11, 2011
Great place, but food is far better at Mexican Radio across the street! Shredded chicken burrito is best in the city!!!
Syd LeighJune 4, 2015
I was underwhelmed. I didn't eat my corn, it had no flavor and tons of mayo. The chicken that you can add to salads is really good.

carnita tacos are amazing, also get the rice, beans and pico de gallo side!
Untapped CitiesNovember 16, 2012
If you make a reservation for dinner, then, you will have no problem getting into the bar.
Mike ChauJuly 26, 2013
Try the Cochinita Pibil Taco - Pulled pork. Best one.
Nicole WilliamsMarch 29, 2011
All of the food is delicious but I highly recommend ordering the corn on the cob - it's the best thing ever!
Mike ChauJuly 26, 2013
Try the Empanadas De Pollo Con Hongos - Great
Jenny RMay 20, 2015
Ordered the tortilla soup and stake tacos. Soup was greasy and barely had avocado, cheese or tortilla strips but did have giant chunks of chicken, very unappetizing, took 20 mins for all premade food.
Monti BrayApril 28, 2015
Mole enchiladas are amaze

The tortas are really good.
Purpose .comAugust 4, 2011
This place is an office favorite. In addition to tacos for lunch and dinner, the breakfast burritos are awesome!
jen dJuly 29, 2012
Great food. Angry cashier that will make you think twice if you really want to eat food here. Such a shame!
Sarina SettonOctober 8, 2013
Definitely cliché, but, THE CORN. Hashtag. Totes amaze.
ToryBurchJanuary 12, 2011
The fish tacos are worth the hype. Be sure to sit downstairs - perfect for a girls' night out.
Jack NobleAugust 10, 2014
Great queso fundido and margaritas.
Shalev SrurNovember 16, 2014
Great food, small portions. Great atmosphere.
Adrian MojicaFebruary 15, 2015
The basement can be pretentious and the chile relleno is not even close to the one at the maguey y la tuna.
Nicholas LeyMarch 15, 2013
They turn corn on the cob into an art. I order 3 and call it a day. Not without my margarita first tho ;)
Mats LiedholmNovember 1, 2014
Try the corn on the cob - rediciously good!
Kenneth TiongAugust 20, 2012
Fish tacos. A bit tasteless (frozen fillets) grilled, not fully redeemed by overloaded the 1000 island and green salsa. 3.5/5
Kris ConcepcionJuly 19, 2014
The pork belly taco is delicious!
BollareNovember 28, 2012
Skip the downstairs restaurant and eat at the side café instead — much cozier and you don’t need a reservation.
Liat BandielNovember 15, 2016
Great Mexican spot❤️
Alexander GolubevMarch 22, 2013
Special thanks to the creators for the interior design. The expectations of regular gang criminal actions make food taste even more better!
LukeMarch 8, 2016
Lamb barbacoa tacos are a-ok
Nazanin SaniiFebruary 17, 2017
make reservation 3 weeks in advance

El Diablo - cucumber and jalapeño-infused repesado tequila goodness.
