This Mexican restaurant is a big spot for locals. Good crowd, The food is good full of Mexican delights. They have a happy hour for food. staff is friendly and skinny is always around, ask for Nicole!- TenantKing.comJune 20, 2014The Tenant King team started to hang out on the streets of LIC to get to know the users better. We usually end our days here. We recommend the amazing guac, the mexican burger and Skinny's Margarita!
HelenOctober 15, 2014The steak quesadillas are so good! The meat was so tender and yummy. Tacos and other entrees are just okay. Generally a bit over-priced for what it is and how much they give you, but cute atmosphere.
Ailie ChangJanuary 14, 2015I order from here because they deliver really quickly. They have an awesome Roasted Corn Salad with Chicken. The Jalapeno Vinaigrette is so tasty with the right amount of spicy kick.- An upside down mini bottle of Corona in a frozen margarita? Yes! The Coronita is a legit good beer cocktail, aka a Mexican Bulldog.
Get the elote or guac with either fish tacos (broiled), steak, or beef barbacoa. Skip the dry burrito.
Lourdes GuillenDecember 5, 2011Try the Chicharones ! The pork is tender and juicy. The grilled Calamari App is cooked to perfection, their Guac is addictive and their refried red beans are Heaven. They had me at "Cantina"
Mika AbitolOctober 10, 2013Great service great beer and good appetizers however some good portions were really small and the tacos are soft so fall apart really easily just a heads up.
Ed PodojilMay 27, 2016Nice outdoor seating near the waterfront, the waiter even brings out a small takeout container filled with water for your dog on hot days
E AlixOctober 7, 2014They have a takeout window & the outdoor seating is 🐶 friendly when the weather is nice.
Brittany GoodwynDecember 23, 2014The food is delicious. I definitely recommend the shrimp fajitas. Also, make sure to try the guacamole.
JenKuduJune 18, 2012Pork belly al pastor tacos are really good. The skinny margarita is really strong. Skip the fundido (it's okay) and save room for the tres leches.
Food and service is great. really fun place. The menu keeps growing. And the margs are killer. No mix. Love it! We need more places like this in LIC
I've been here more times than I can count. Skinny is the coolest owner and the vibe is always great.

George KordasMarch 11, 2016Fish tacos and shrimp a la mexicana are fantastic. Awesome guacamole as well.
2 thumbs up for the avocado salad. Salsa is really tasty, too!! Best wait staff I've seen lately!!
Anthie MilonasSeptember 14, 2013Good food, good service, great atmosphere! Will definitely go back! Delicious guacamole !- JenKuduJune 29, 2014Tres leches (pic) is beautiful but really bland and soggy. The Mexican Burger is ok. After several meals here, everything is just ok. Service is friendly though.
- Can't wait until the bad review are off here. This place is awesome. Food is amazing. Service is great. You're missing out.
Steve ColemanMarch 5, 2017Good eggs, bad potatoes, charge money for chips. The kind of place that has multiple tables for 10 people at lunch
Fish Tacos Not too much Taste Maybe stick to drinks #drinks $10.00 & Up
Nice simple healthy choice Mexican Food in the Hood. The Quesedilla Chicken Tinga -- Yun
With the kitchen change the food is now great. Give it another try.
Leah M.July 4, 2012They have cactus!!! Try it - it's like a less flavorful roasted red pepper. Mmmmmm
Bobbie SalibaDecember 16, 2011Service was good! I got take-away... I feel as though this may be an eat in restaurant... Enjoy
- Leah M.July 4, 2012Good luck using the 50% off deal c/o ScoutMob -- can never get a wireless signal in that place!
- Bobbie SalibaFebruary 2, 20122nd review, new cook? Better food, however 12 for 3 tacos? Not bad but to be server in a plastic basket? With 13 drinks? Miss Match! Don't go to an Asian for Mexican! And vice versa! Go to Shi!!

"Step into Casa Enrique and pretend you're in Mexico City. Start with a margarita (take advantage of their specials), guacamole (order it spicy), and sopecitos de chorizo. Carry on from there."

"I had the mixto tacos and the chicken soup. The tacos were great! Never had the meats mixed before and I loved it. The soup was a little weak, but comforting."
