Good, very authentic Mexican, quite reasonably priced, but it's a hole in the wall & smokey from the grill. Best for takeout unless they can expand & move you away from the nasty noisy refrigerator cases. more

Never been there. Only order delivery. It's an amazingly authentic place for NYC. I usually order a few tacos (liver, tripe, tongue etc....) and they are always delicious and cheap! more

Delish! Cheap! WOW! Sad that I've lived near this place for years and somehow hadn't stopped in! EVERYTHING I've tried is fantastic! Burritos are huge! GO for the Sopas with Pork or Chicken and BOTH red and green sauces. It's in the front of my delivery menu book now! more

Dead authentic, including a jukebox which randomly plays Mexican-style pop and folk music, seemingly at random or when it gets bored. Giant burrito is formidable. more

I've eaten here a few times and I don't really care for the food. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't taste good to me. more

Great food, but you'll probably wanna take out, because the seating area is terrible. more
