Llira L.Llira Landi: The chorizo Octopus tacos are amazing but very small. I think is a bit over price for the carne asada. Portions are very small including the drinks.

Joe D.Joe D: The carne asada quesadilla comes highly recommended by my mouth. You won't need, but you can get guac and sour cream on the side, as the quesadillos come with a small bag 'o chips

MatthewMatthew: Tacos are smaller than those in the Spanish Harlem but this Midtown East location is hard to beat for a quick takeout. For me, chilorio (pulled pork) was tastier than carne asada.

Karen C.Karen Cooper: Surprisingly great Mexican food (I grew up in LA so I'm usually disappointed with NYC Mexican). Carne asada burrito and quesadilla are my go-to, unless they have a daily special (then get that!)
