If you want fajitas that actually resemble the ones you’d get in Texas, this is the only place in NYC worth considering. Skirt steak, cooked over an open flame, and served a perfect medium-rare. Accept no impostors.
The queso is very much on par with what you’d get at a Ninfa’s. Pricing is remarkably reasonable across the board. This is quickly becoming my favorite spot in NYC.

Good spot. I stopped in for HH. Skinny marg ($9), plus they give chips & salsa, so I ordered guac ($10) also. I mixed the guac & salsa together with each bite, sooo good!!! The pic is already half eaten, I was so hungry 🙈😊
Our waiter was great I think his name was Dylan but he was so pleasant! Great neighborhood spot.
