Tinge de Pollo tacos are best. After that bistec. Dinner downstairs better than drinks downstairs.

The food is excellent but the service inside was lackluster at best. Perhaps it was an off night. I'd still come back.

Authentic flavor = Coined. Mexican seal of approval.

This place is a hidden gem! I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.
PaulFebruary 7, 2015
Moderately priced. Ratings are much higher than what you get. Their meals and drinks are prepared so doesn't take long to get served. Tiny place.
Vernon JonesJanuary 7, 2014
Go for the veal tongue it's so dope
Jason T.May 14, 2010
So I tried the fish tacos that everyone was talking about. I was skeptical. BOMB!!! Now I have to find other places to compare

Micheladas, tacos, ELOTE, queso fundido and bread pudding.. Heaaaaven
Trey PinonAugust 11, 2010
For tacos, get them from the taco stand, from the cafe go for the tortas, if you want tequila downstairs is where you need to be.

Unfortunately, this is about as good as Mexican food gets in NYC.
