For years, this restaurant has been my go-to spot for me and my husband —not just for the incredible food, but for the way it feels like home every time we walk in. The moment you step inside, you’re met with warm smiles, a welcoming atmosphere, and a staff that treats you like family. They remember your name, your favorite dishes, and even check in on how life is going. It’s a rare kind of hospitality that makes dining here more than just a meal—it’s an experience.
Beyond the impeccable service, the vibe is effortlessly cool. The music is always on point, setting the perfect mood whether you’re winding down after a long day or catching up to turn up with friends over dinner. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great conversation, and soak in an atmosphere that feels both lively and intimate.
And then there’s the food—consistently outstanding. Every dish is crafted with care, using fresh ingredients and bold flavors that never disappoint. Whether you’re ordering your tried-and-true favorite or venturing into a seasonal special, you can taste the passion behind every bite. The portions are generous, the presentation is spot-on, and the flavors keep you coming back.
Over the years, this place has become more than just a restaurant to my husband and me—it’s a place where memories are made. Whether we’re celebrating something special, grabbing a quick bite, or just looking for a familiar place to unwind, I know I’ll find great food, great music, and even better company. If you’re looking for a spot with soul, this is it.

This place is tiny but that is what adds to the charm and vibe to the place, solid Mexican food and if you are having dinner before 8pm they have happy hour on their 15 dollar drinks down to 9 dollars and they were delicious, i could have drank 10 of those mango margs. Great service and host they accommodated our large party and took great care of us. Would recommend

I wish this place was in Brooklyn! It was so far from me. I saw this place pop-up on my for you page and was very excited to try it. It looks very local and the everyone was so friendly. It is a small place and my friend and I probably only got a place because we went on a gloomy Sunday. We actually got the last table around 1pm, so I felt very lucky.
We started with the guacamole which oddly was just okay. It was missing some seasoning, but I loved my main meal. IT WAS SO GOOD. My friend got the birreria tacos and I got the Costillas Benedicto Benedict. The Slow braised shredded short ribs were phenomenal and paired with eggs, omg.

My friend rented out the place for a Birthday brunch party and we had a place to ourselves. It was $85 a person and they did not disappoint at all. They printed out a gorgeous menu for us that was customized with the birthday girl’s name, They helped us decorate, The host was the DJ And had that party lit the whole time. The food came out promptly on time, and the drinks were flowing. This was the best time ever and this small business deserves your support! Shout out, DJ Nasty

This place deserves ALL THE STARS! The ambiance, the music, the food and THE SERVICE. WOW! This is my favorite place in the entire city. It’s family owned and these people do literally anything to make you feel welcomed. They make the best margaritas and the food is fresh and made with love. I was a regular before moving out of state and when I come back to NYC, I make sure to come back here a couple of times.

Excellent restaurant, very varied delicious food, with an all-day brunch option, and with many vegetarian options (and all kinds), extensive cocktail menu and good treatment and service. Very affordable price in Manhattan. Ask about the interior patio, very nice.
Order the Costillitas Benedicto and the Tampiña Mezcal and thank me later!! Love this place!!

I am pregnant. I’ve asked for a food no spicy. The ladie told me that the food is not spicy. I’ve wait like 30 min to have the food on my table. And for my surprise the food was spicy. I’ve asked for another one and the ladie told me to have a plate faster than food. So, she was like trying to decide for me was I had to eat because probably the chef doesn’t want to do another plate for me. And I said that i want another plate no spicy and she told me to wait more 30 minutes to have the plate. So I am very unsatisfied with the service. I don’t recommend this place for nobody else.
