Noah Weiss: Trendy, inventive Mexican food that is 30% too expensive for small portions -- but worth trying anyways. Awesome tequila / mescal cocktails. Uni tostada with bone marrow and burrita are great.
Mark Hays: The husk merengue is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Uni tostadas and ny strip tacos also great.
Caroline Schulweis: Great, trendy ambiance, and very spacious. Delicious guacamole and uni tostadas.

Iván Farías: Every taco, tostada or tamal here is simply amazing! But if you're only in for a couple of them, go for the cochinita pibil taco and the chicken tamal. Incredibly delicious still doesn't capture it.
Tom Wolfstein: The ceviche tostada is quite possibly the best taco in the history of time
Kunjan Punatar: Love this place - horchata, veg tostadas, corn esquites, and the actual food truck in the center
Kristin Flip Polidoro: The tostadas are $2.50 and amazing. Just one can fill you up...get it with everything!
Find. Eat. Drink.: Chef Nick Curtain: “ It’s a little taco stand. Amazing tostadas, tortillas and things like stewed goat, chorizo and potatoes that they churn out late into the night.”
Corey Schneiderman: Get the goat. Best tostadas and tacos in NYC.

Emily Wilson: The chic design and feel transports you to Mexico City. Always get the arctic char tostada (a glorious Mexican take on bagel & lox). Herbaceous guac is delish. Skip the ranchero eggs at breakfast.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Superb!!! I will be back. Loved the Arctic char tostado and the guacamole toast the best. Cocktails are amazing as well. Lots of mezcal, smoky drinks.
Morgan McKee: Upscale Mexican may be my favorite, but loved Atla! Start with the Arctic char tostada and go big with fish Milanese and chicken enchiladas. Order rounds of margs and you are set 🍹

Lorraine S: Love love love this place. Great atmosphere, service & food. Margaritas are crazy good! Try the ceviche Acapulco (best ever!), quesadillas, octopus tostadas, the ribs and the plantain chips!!!!
Sonal U: Vegetarians should get the vegan tacos (off the menu), yuka tostadas, grilled corn, and grilled string beans. The queso fundido and quesadilla are also really good.
Tiffany: speakeasy esque environment - the restaurant is hidden away downstairs. make a reservation if you can! and try the mahi mahi tacos & the ahi tuna tostada

Karla Diaz Cano: cool underground scene. try the "guava suave" if you like guava. food is decent - the tuna tostadas are good. arrachera tacos are way too greasy.
Lauren Gilchrist: Their version of a dark n stormy has tequila - it's delicious. Don't miss the sikil pak, mole tostadas, or the elote
Alex Marshall: sashimi tuna tostada was super fresh and yummeh. but maybe it was the jalepeno margs...

Jeremy Fisher: Cemitas. Spicy goat tostada. Enchiladas
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.

Ursula Tudela: Order the Pisco Sour from Alex, with the tostada con cangrejo. YUM.
AmateurConcierge: Solid mezcal and pulque based drinks and solid Mexican fare make this tiny bar a worthwhile visit. Guac with pomegranate seeds and crab tostada were both solid. I liked the spicy Oaxaca Express.
DominicanAbroad.com: Sweet baby lord Jesus. This is cocktail perfection. Pisco sour along with the very much recommended... MOCTEZUMA!
