The food is amazing !! I’m so thrilled we decided to try this for dinner. I had basically a little bit of everything on the menu and everything was outstanding. I’m a super fan of the nachos and the tostadas, the flautas were amazing as well. I was so full at the end of the evening that I forgot to order dessert. I was still looking forward to the Chocoflan. I guess next time, The only thing I’m regretful is that they don’t open sooner right now lol i’m hungry for more and they open at 3pm !!

This place has a friendly and unassuming atmosphere. I had a passion fruit margarita that was excellent, and I got to taste test a new drink not on the menu. The bartender is a genius who will make you love alcohol in a way you didnt think you could. I am a new regular now. Case closed! I didnt rate the food because I was too busy drinking. Next time, though =)

My family and I walked into this restaurant spontaneously and we were so happy we did! Many Mexican spots have huge portions of mediocre food but this place has just perfect sizes of delicious food. We had the birria, carnitas, and steak tacos to share. With hibiscus pineapple juice. What a delight. Staff was so kind and helpful as well. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

Rating is 4.5Food and margaritas were hands down the best in the Bronx, and cracked my top 5 throughout the 5 boroughsGuacamole rivals Rosa Mexicana in Manhattan.Birria tastes identical to Dos Caminos.Food and atmosphere were perfect.2 small complaints. Parking is difficult at certain times.Happy Hour pricing and deals are greatWaiter/Barkeep was amazing with recommendations etc, until we were offered Mezcal, the presentation etc were fantastic, but we were never told about price etc.The Mescal tasting for the 6 of us added around $180 to our bill. While I should have asked, it would have been nice if he informed of us that, price wise. Money is not an object to me, but should have been advertised.I will be back, but I will not be doing the tasting again.

This place has by far the best Mexican drinks in NYC

Review 21 (2024-05-25 - Rating: 5)
Stopped in randomly to get some drinks for happy hour and I was absolutely blown away with how great they were (we ordered 6 or 7 different mezcalritas). The bartender Karen, who also happens to be one of the owners, was super nice and hospitable and incredibly knowledgeable on all things Mexican cuisine and drinks. Her establishment carries products from authentic independently owned Mexican distilleries and a few from female owned Mexican distilleries. We only got a few apps since we had eaten prior to, but will definitely be going back for a full dinner. I can’t recommend this place enough, I’m so glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant.
