The service is excellent, be advised that some staff only speak Spanish however there are others working that can translate. I order delivery and the food always comes on time. I enjoy their carne asada tortas and chicken tacos. I miss the old red sauce, very spicy 🌶️ and a great complement to the tacos. 🌮 Best Mexican spot in Washington Heights.
October 2024
Best Mexican food in the area, truly worth trying. It deserves many more stars. Chiles rellenos are my favorite but they also have killer nachos, tortas, and breakfast. (PS, if you look at the bad reviews - took too long, got the wrong soda - they are all the result of having heavy business... Because it's good.)
August 2024
Me and my wife dined in and both had a torta. We both got milanesa de pollo (breaded chicken) and it was delicious. One of the best tortas I've had since moving to the heights. Also had a Carne asada taco and that was also very delicious. To complete the food review an agua de horchata was also delicious. Overall all the food we ate was very very good. We will deff come back or order take out. Cant wait to try other items from this place!
