Talisa Chang: Favorites: crispy fish, short rib, huevos con chorizo, maiz y poblano. Make two tacos by spreading the fillings into the two tortillas provided and try a bunch with a friend.
Berk Kapicioglu: Corn esquites and crispy fish are the best!
Andrew Furman: Get the crispy fish, pork shoulder, and chorizo tacos
Daniel McDonough: The chorizo verde toluca and the baja crispy fish tacos are really good. Tacos are small so get 3-4 different ones to try.
Jaimee Estreller: Great for after-work drinks and dins with friends. My go-to: michelada, chips & guac for the table, esquites, and a crispy fish taco. If I'm still hungry, then the carnitas taco too.
Rami Massoud: Beautiful open space, and everything here is great. The fresh made corn tortillas are excellent and I can't come here without getting the Baja Crispy Fish taco

Ben Fishner: Try the crispy fish skin with your soup--like cracklings of the sea, they're addictive.
Sunny Ng: Best Wonton Noodle Soup in the city. Don't be a gwai lo and order xiaolongbao ("soup dumplings"). Not the place for it.
Serious Eats: One of our favorite spots for wonton noodle soup, with a wide range of noodles and dumplings.

Allie P: Blood orange margaritas are a must. Pair them with the queso fundido and chips and quac for appetizers. Crispy fish soft tacos and the soft carnitas were very tasty. The menu is great for sharing.
Chloe Karr: The blood orange margaritas are awesome and you won't be disappointed in the pork belly tacos (never thought watermelon pickles would go so well in a taco)
TenantKing.com: There's a general consensus that this place has some of the best nachos in NYC so definitely don't miss those!
