This restaurant is absolutely amazing, starting with the ambiance, the staff is super friendly and professional! Now let’s talk about the food- WOW is all I can say. We had Fajitas, shrimp ceviche, cheese with chicken quesadilla-everything has an explosion of flavors, just wow. The drinks- we had frozen strawberry margaritas, amazing! I recommend this restaurant with my entire heart! Now the staff, our server was Hugo- so funny, personable! And the manager, Flavia- so attentive! Just an awesom

Decided to try something new today, and this was such a flavorful hit. I'll say this is better than chipotle lol, and it's such a good price for the amount given. The staff is so nice and recommended good options. Big points for that sweet chicken.

The food was absolutely fantastic. ( chicken burrito my favorite) Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff ( Maria , Luis , Joan and margarita) were very attentive without being overwhelming. The restaurant’s cozy ambiance made the experience even better. I’ll definitely continue coming to this place.

The food here is pretty good. We order chicken and steak bowls and they are tasty. The steak is a little chewy but tastewise is good. They give a generous amount of food and the place is kept clean. The only thing is the wait time for order is longer than expected. It is best if you can order ahead and then pick up. This place is Halal. Definitely recommended giving it a try.

Absolutely incredible experience! Colima Taqueria II exceeded every expectation. The food was bursting with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. I ordered the Esquites and the Shrimp Nachos, and both were phenomenal. The esquites were perfectly seasoned and creamy, while the shrimp nachos were loaded with generous portions of flavorful shrimp and all the right toppings—every bite was delicious. To top it all off, I had the soft serve mixed margarita, and it was the perfect combination of smooth,

Casual Mexican joint serving up tacos & burritos alongside margaritas & beers from the bar.
I’m a harlem native so i stand on business when it comes to good local spots. Cantina is one of them, strong drinks, grey good, good prices, good music and energy. The only downside to my experience recently was the AC being down and it being 80+ outside. Sweating and drinking is a bad combo if you’re trying to be out all night. Food wise i recommend the tacos, andy one of them honestly. I have the fish taco, chili lime and the mango chicken tacos, with a strawberry and goat cheese salad. ( Tha

Went there around 10pm for cinco de mayo. Super disappointed with the food and drinks. First off, the music was so loud your heart could feel it and you had to scream to put in your order and the server still didn’t get it correct (it’s a restaurant not a club, or so we thought). For the “tacos” and “burritos” they used table salad as the veggie toppings (since when did Mexican tacos have shredded carrots and big chunks of lettuce?) and for the “cheese nachos” they put very little cheese but a w

I went to this place for lunch one early afternoon. It is a small taco place with back patio outside seating. The menu is filled with variety. The food was great. But the biggest most admirable thing at this place is the service. A server named Gabriel is really the biggest asset to this place. He was very attentive and cordial. He made me feel as though I was the most important person there. Explained the menu, suggested items, and made sure to accommodate my every request. I really enjoyed my

You can mix and match any tacos and i did the chicken, steak and fish..all delicious! My friends also loved their food. Very small place and u even have to walk through the kitchen to get to the restroom but its these small, unpretencious places that always serve up the best. Nice service. The sangria also looked goo

Cool vibe of a place. A couple friends and I went for a late brunch and it was good at first with mimosas and good music. Once our orders were placed they told us we may have to move because of a preexisting reservation however past 430 the place becomes more of a lounge. They told us we could find a seat at the bar but by the time we were finished eating but they were trying to get us to leave the table ASAP even though nobody had arrived Make sure to make reservations in advance

This place is truly a gem! I’ve been coming all the way from Queens just for the tacos, and after a few visits, I had to finally leave a review. I tried the cucumber margarita,absolutely delicious & great price .The mango michelada was also really good. They welcome you with chips and salsa, which is such a nice touch. We also ordered the guacamole and chips; great portion and super fresh. Now, the tacos… you must try the cochinita pibil. The flavors are incredibly delicious and perfectly se

We stopped by this place for dinner after attending a church service at St. Ignatius on the Upper East Side. As walk-ins, we were warmly welcomed and accommodated at the bar seating, which we appreciated given that the space is relatively compact. The staff were friendly and attentive, setting a positive tone for the evening. We ordered the beef and shrimp tacos, and they were excellent — very tasty and nicely presented. For dessert, we had the churros, which were good but felt more like a comm

The food was incredible—full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was a hit.

I’m very disappointed with my experience today. After waiting an hour for my pickup order, I was given someone else’s meal. The bag was sealed, so I didn’t realize the mistake until I reached my destination — and to make things worse, I’m allergic to beans, which were in the order I was given. The service was extremely slow, and no one seemed willing to help. It’s always a chaotic experience trying to get food there at lunchtime, but today was unacceptable.

Honestly the food in my experience is good, it doesn't take long to arrive, they have nice big portions. I just don't understand why when you ask for the bill, they only give you a piece of paper with the final number, including tax and tip or why the last 3 times I went I paid more than what it says on the menu. But well, in my experience.

Opened my food, quesadilla with cheese not melted. I take it back to ask that it’s warmed up, staff was quick and kind and obliging. Same when I sat down again and tasted my rice and it was hard like pellets. The only 5 star thing about this place is the staff. They work really hard and I would assume t

Made me feel appreciated.I ordered Two Nachos; Chicken and Shrimp! Both were Superb!

Indoor space is slightly dark and cozy. A few TV screens. There's a covered patio where the food truck is. And finally a couple tables that are truly outside.

Three stars only because the service was very good. 1.5 stars for the food. We started with nachos. I liked the cheese sauce, but for my friend, it was meh because the sauce was a bit watery/runny. The flavors were good though. For the entrees: The chicken mole was absolutely horrible. The balance of flavors was off-putting. And the plate arrived very hot (we were warned not to touch) as if it had been microwaved. The meat in the beef tacos wasn’t well-seasoned, and it wasn’t served with a

The quantity of food is significantly lower compared to Taco Express, Adobo, or Guacado. The morning staff is unfriendly. There’s a restroom, but they refused to let us use it even though I’ve been there four times. She literally lied and said there’s no restroom at all. I would strongly advise against it. Avoid it at all costs. They have a senatorial grade B, which is a disgrace. They should have a grade of D. The chicken was incredibly dry, and since we arrived around 11:00 AM, I’m not sure wh

I’m still on the hunt for good tacos in Brooklyn, so I decided to try this place since I’ve passed it many times. First, I want to say the server was very nice, and the restaurant itself was clean. The food was just okay overall. The tacos I ordered were fine, and the porgy fish was decent as well. My only real issue was with the spicy wings. They came out pretty quickly, which made me feel like they might have been frozen or something—maybe that’s why the taste was off. They didn’t taste good
