Jon BurlandOctober 13, 2012Food is good - the people who work there try to act a little too cool when you ask to get a seat downstairs.
Trey PinonAugust 11, 2010For 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.
Jacky G.December 28, 2011The bar is nice but el pollo con potatoes left something to be desired and then string beans were burned. The ambiance is great though so I will give this place another chance.
BollareNovember 28, 2012Skip the downstairs restaurant and eat at the side café instead — much cozier and you don’t need a reservation.
Marisa TomAugust 15, 2011Any of the tacos are pretty bomb. Carnitas, carne asada... always good choices.
Tinge de Pollo tacos are best. After that bistec. Dinner downstairs better than drinks downstairs.
Breakfast tacos but only during the week. Make the effort and get 'em. You won't be disappointed.
If you're getting take out, 2 pulled pork tacos and a house salad just hit the $15 credit card minimum. And they're simultaneously filling and not-too-guilty-feeling.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Sisha Ortuzar, chef of Riverpark, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Tacos de lengua. Read more
El Diablo - cucumber and jalapeño-infused repesado tequila goodness.
Nicholas LeyMarch 15, 2013They turn corn on the cob into an art. I order 3 and call it a day. Not without my margarita first tho ;)
The Criterion CollectionApril 1, 2011Not always an exclusive downtown hot-spot. In 1984, the corner of Cleveland and Kenmare hosted one of New York's most spectacular cinematic showdowns. Read more
Angie MonroyNovember 28, 2015Great food! Bad service. Very loud music to eat in the restaurant, very few solutions from the staff!
Seline JungMay 3, 2015Tacos tasty enough but not life-changing. Service is slow - waited 20 min for two tacos for takeout.
Our Man On The GroundJune 17, 2011A very deceptive entrance gives way to a wonderful Mexican restaurant and celeb hotspot. Need to book 3 weeks ahead. Read more
Nick BogartAugust 9, 2017The food is excellent but the service inside was lackluster at best. Perhaps it was an off night. I'd still come back.
PaulFebruary 7, 2015Moderately 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.
David GreenbergerAugust 10, 2014Pretty good tacos but doesn't live up to the hype. Set expectations accordingly and enjoy.
