You might think from the sidewalk that a basement restaurant is not where you want to go, but you would be so wrong. This place is a treasure chest for authentic Mexican and Latin cuisine.

We sat at the bar and Gail was our server. She took us on a journey through the menu and happy hour specials as we had a half hour to go before 6:00 pm. She also showed us the extensive Tequila and Mezcal list which was boasting some 20+ bottlings of each type.

We settled on a variety of scratch made tacos which were expertly prepared, washed them down with Modello Especial and sipped on tequila along the way. For desert, we had the house prepared Flan which was superb.

This place is authentic from beginning to end. Get in here as soon as you can.

Great place to eat in Ithaca. The service is friendly but slow due to crowd size. People stand near your table if you are up front while waiting for a table which can be intrusive. Food is very good. I saw the waitress use someone else's water container for another table! Wouldn't drink the water due to that. Management should address that.

This is one of those places you walk by a lot and never realize its actually there because its in the lower level of the building. Very cozy. Drinks are unique and well inspired. The Thursday special also made the food worth while. I got filled just off the appetizers alone.

Meals were so good! Nice watermelon jicama salad and three killer tacos. We were not in the mood for the fried plantains but were tasty. Friendly, efficient service and really liked the warm, underground feel of the place.

First our serving sloshed the drinks over the rims of the glasses washing the salt off. Then we were served chips that were badly over cooked... brown and tasted a bit burnt. The pork carnitas, generally one of my favorite dishes at a Mexican restaurant, were fatty and kind of soggy. Over cooked is not a substitute for tender. Last but not least, our waiter was clearly trying to rush our meal. We were trying to enjoy our time with a friend we'd not seen in a long time, so that was annoying too.

Had a wonderful dinner and our server Naomi was amazing. She handled our bachelorette trip like a pro! Naomi checked on us often, was personable, and had drinks and food out quickly. Our group got to try a lot of great items on the menu- we loved the chicken enchiladas and the birria tacos!

Good margs! Great tacos! Pretty clean, good customer service. Would go back. Our party of 5 with multiple drinks for some and entrees and two appetizers was $250, soooooo worth it.

We passed this restaurant every night during our vacation in Ithaca and it always had people sitting outside. We decided to sit inside and it was cozy and inviting. The server was friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were great! We got to try the ceviche and had chips and salsa but still had room for our dinners. Everything was hot and fresh.

This was an unexpected surprise. My girlfriend and I were not ready for how yummy the burger was at a Latiné joint.
The service was lovely, we were seated outside (inside is downstairs in this basement restaurant) and we did not wait too long for our large plates to come out.
We were so pleased we even got flan for desert, which was mouthwateringly good.
