It's a hole in the wall kind of place. The food I found to be delicious especially their fried vanilla ice cream. Customer service is spotty at best. Simply ask what you want and they deliver. The server is great at recommendation. Only issue is the billing isn't itemized. Overall if you aren't looking to get catered and know what you want. This place delivers on flavor.

My husband and I went here to grab some dinner. The waitress took our order and never came back he didn’t check on us not even one time to ask if we needed anything or to make sure we were enjoying our food. My husband even had to go up to the register and ask for the check. My husband noticed a 20% tip was already included in the bill. My husband stated the he would understand the gratuity if was added because we had a group of five or more people dining in, but again it was just my husband and I. The man replied that they started doing this after covid and there was nothing he could do about it with an attitude. So we paid and just left. We would not have mind giving a tip but the service was poor and the staff was rude. We will never be returning to this restaurant there are too many other good Mexican restaurants in the city that will give better customer service. I do not recommend.

We had tacos and a fish plate - which both was quite bland and disappointing. The guacamole for starters and churros for dessert however were quite good. In total the price seemed a bit high for the food, and the dining area is very small, crowded and loud. Wouldn't come again.

By far the best burrito bowl I've ever had - if you go to chipotle after coming here you are insane. It was like 20lbs of food for a quarter of the price and they were so fast for pick up. 1000000% will be returning

I came here after going to an indoor playground with my daughter and her friend. I ordered two chicken tacos for the kids, one did not come out, so I asked another associate for it. Upon leaving, I was informed that I did not pay for the tacos. I was very confused considering the bill came out to a whopping 68 bucks for 3 taco plates, two juices, and a margarita. The cashier showed me my previous receipt and I noticed that they added gratuity without my knowledge. I had already tipped 20 percent on top of my initial bill. I ordered this food at a COUNTER, not a table. The lady did not even apologize. I felt scammed. I paid for my tacos (sans grat) and left. Didn't wanna cause a scene with two small children. It felt like a micro-aggression. I'm a black woman with two black children and the assumption that I won't tip probably led to this strange practice. The food is overpriced as it is, but the fact that I tipped them TWICE without knowing was a slap in the face. They also wouldn't give me water, saying that "they didn't have a filter" which....whatever, I just took a cup and filled the kids water from my water bottle. All in all it was a crappy weird experience won't be coming back

Yup. I’ll come back for the tacos. Pretty generous. And you can mix themUp.

I do not recommend this restaurant. When I went from the moment I arrived, the treatment and customer service was horrible. At first they don't welcome you with anything, not chips, bread, not even a glass of water. I had a question about the menu and the way they clarified everything to me was very ruderom the waitress and the man who brought us the food. They have no manners at all and are not at all cordial. We ordered some chicken fajitas and they came out without guacamole or sour cream. Something basic that the fajitas always bring and if you order it they charge you separately. The food had no flavor at all and the margaritas we ordered had almost no alcohol. When we asked to use the bathroom, at first they refused to give us the keys after we had eaten in the restaurant. We definitely had a very bad time at this restaurant. On our entire trip to NY it was the only place where they treated us so poorly.

I really like this place as a Mexican option for a FiDi lunch. I always get their carnitas burrito. Their meat is super soft and juicy. And they're big. The Tacombi burritos are super tiny and their meat and rice are sometimes overcooked. Not this place! I like how their empanadas are made to order. They taste so much better fresh. Give them a shot!
