Aaron Taylor-Waldman: Solid horchata and homemade lemonade to wash down the delicious tacos
Orion: Some of the biggest burritos I've ever seen (the tortillas almost didn't cover the burrito insides!).I had their huevos rancheros and their horchata; both were solid. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Charlie Kubal: Grab the horchata - it's the source of the Vampire Weekend song. Used to grab tacos here once a week in college. Not California-quality, but don't listen to anyone that says Chipotle's better.

Tara Jepson: The fish tacos are awesome. As is the horchata.
Charles B: restaurant is great if you want to deal with the shit show. better off just getting a few tacos (my favorite is the pescado) and a horchata.
Natalia Quintero: Try all their tacos and get the horchata to drink. If you can, go downstairs to the secret lounge-- they have wonderful drinks and chill music.
Caroline Chung: Same owners as Tacombi (Nolita) Lobster tacos - pricey (market price $15 each) but totally delicious! Ceviche was also yummy. Horchata was a little too sweet.
Andy Braunston: Do the guacamole for sure, then hot cakes & spiked horchata! Such friendly staff too, love the vibe. Very stroller friendly :)
Ben Siekmeier: The margaritas are good, the spiked horchata, and the 'rubia' (watermelon juice, tequila, and lime). Tacos are awesome and the atmosphere is swanky in the most lighthearted way.
Darryn Lee: Steak tacos and horchata is the way to go here. Food is really good; authentic Mexican cuisine, and inexpensive.
Kimmie Ohh: They have cheap, delicious carnitas tacos. Pair your tacos with their horchata.
Mayra Hernandez O: Great Mexican place, feels like home

Daniel Perez: Get the sopes and the enchiladas. They also make their horchata in the restaurant
Ash Ponders: Mexican comfort foods, staring crema, cotija, and nopales. The Horchata here is a lovely take on the silky style, lightly spiced. Hell yeah!
David Blackman: The cemitas are like if Mexico and a greasy spoon diner had a baby and put it on a bun. To be eaten. So good.
