Carne Asada fries are unmatched, my only issue is I've gotten really greasy quesadillas. Food portions are generous as well, best in Albany I've had. If you go there and see an empty table outside grab it though. We stood in line waiting for a table and watched two guys take the only table left outside. Not the restaurant's fault, but wasn't enjoyable nonetheless.

Stopped in to try the Birria, heard good things. Grabbed a Modelo while I waited. Quite a bussling kitchen, surprisingly quiet for the amount of food they pump out. Cute wait staff, but could have made more with a check in for dessert or any recommendations. It was probably lost in translation, but I asked for a Birria Quesadilla no cilantro and an order of whatever she liked. Ended up splitting a Birria

One of the best Mexican restaurants in all of albany. This is a great neighborhood Hangout to have very good Mexican food. They have a wide selection of authentic Mexican drinks. They have a bar with some specials like sangria. They have a wide variety of appetizers and give you complementary chips and salsa with your meal. The horchata is very good. The large is almost a pitcher size. They have traditional and non-traditional Mexican dishes. I had the tacos which were excellent....
