Just went and ordered 2 burrito bowls, 1 chicken and 1 steak. Besides the food being mediocre at best, it was the rudeness and audacity of the workers that really stood out. Being a manager in the restaurant business myself, the importance of a customer’s food allergy must always be taken into account and also very seriously, which is exactly what just happened to me. I notified the lady packing my food that I have severe allergies to avocado to which she completely ignored and continued to make my bowls right next to the avocado on the line. I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially to people who have allergies like me. These people don’t care and all they want is your dollar.

A Gem in Spanish Harlem. The Custer service was great. The food is even better. Nice quiet spot with indoor seating facing windows. You can eat and people watch. I had a Toscana with everything. It was huge flavorful and filling. If you like spicy like me, I suggest the jalapeño and avocado sauce. RECOMMEND

I’m so happy to have found this gem nearby. They have different tamales and agua frescas regularly. So far my favorites are the Cactus Pineapple agua fresca and the jalapeño y queso tamale. The rojo tamales are also very good. Flavorful and affordable, tysm!

I tried their torta and absolutely loved it, the cheese they use gives it such a delicious flavor! I also had the carnitas tacos and the red tamales, and everything was really tasty. The service is very quick, which I appreciated. They could improve a bit on customer service, but the food more than makes up for it. I’d definitely come back for more tacos. The prices are affordable, and everything tastes 100% Mexican. Highly recommend!

I've had a very tiring morning and ate no breakfast so I stopped here randomly and I could've cried tears of joy eating my chicken quesadilla. Like, it was so delicious and now I wish i lived in the area! Great establishment.

Good place to satiate your mexican cravings however their servings are getting smaller smh
First we watched as they were really about to throw a kids food away because she was short .35 cents. Trying to call her mother she asked can I bring it back to you and they actually said no, so we cover it. I then get my order of carnitas tacos and a fish taco. Why is my carnitas tacos like eating pernil. I wanted to exchange it but clearly they acted so petty over a child and .35 cents. Forget it.

I’ve been coming here for 12 years back when they had their location on 116th street and Lexington. I wish they would open another location there again (it use to be 24 hours). They have the best food. The cashier was super nice and sweet to me.
