Casual regional chain serving Mexican fast fare, including desserts, beverages & breakfast.
What to order: Carne Asada Taco · Al Pastor Taco · HorchataThe steak tacos and steak enchiladas was disgusting. The meat is grey/ old tough to chew. The enchiladas had the weirdest cheese poured on top- def not good. Looks like plastic. I accidentally ordered from here when i mistakenly confused the names with my go to Mexican spot. So I called them because I was missing the rice and beans for the enchiladas and the lady on the phone says I didn’t ask for it and it doesn’t come with it. So weird, enchiladas without rice??!! lol ok. So then I said hold u

Food and Service, both good. Food portions were a bit small for the price. This place is also a bakery and I love yhe smell of freshly baked bread. Bread was delicious. This place is a bit small and can get crowded. Overall had a good experience.

I ordered it online and waited for 40 minutes before it arrived, and the condition is like this. If you can't do your job, then replace it. No one can afford to pay for this. Very bad service. This is a very bad fault. Is it the pizza parlor or the delivery service? What should customers do in such a situation?

I came in seeing it was a bar and asked for the easiest drink in the world, a rum and coke! Which doesn’t have any reason to be more than $7 but they asked for $15! I thought it was expensive so I said I’ll leave, but they said they’ll keep $10, it was late night so i agreed! But turns out they don’t even know what a rum n coke is, yet they insisted on serving it so I showed them a Google result of what I’m talking about and they put some rum and some Coke in a tiny glass without ice and took $1

The food is amazing! My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick bite and this spot looked convenient, but the tacos were a lot better than we had expected! The thin fries on top, the big serving size, we got a taco de bistec and the tortillas were handmade and everything was so fresh. Definitely coming back here

I knew this pizza was going to be nasty! My family came to visit from out of town and they wanted to try NYC pizza. We ordered a half cheese and half pineapple. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!! It was worse than thought! Who puts sugar in pizza dough and tomato sauce? Pizza sauce does not need that much sugar. Pizza should be savory and not sweet! At least the guy who took the order gave me a small $1.50 discount. But I’ll never order from this shop again. Please 2 Bros. Open a shop here in LeFrak City. You

Love it!! 🥰😘 It’s perfect for someone like me who travels to meet client. Very nice and cozy. Has a bathroom for paying customers. Several seating areas. Several coffee, pastries and iced drink options. The atmosphere is perfect for what I’m looking for. It was quiet when I first arrived and there was no music which I found perfect as I needed to work. There are several outlets to charge. As time went on, music was put on but it was low and not obnoxiously loud. It was perfection!! The staff w

If you wanna get authentic Ecuadorian food and service, don’t come here. Food was not worth the price and it wasn’t even flavorful. It was bland. When ordering the “lunch special”, nearly done with the meal, the waitress brings out some juices, saying it was part of the order, but i think anyone can agree, bringing out the drinks sooner is restaurant etiquette. The only good thing was the avocado salad, and I was charged a price that wasn’t on the menu. Then if you want to pay with a card which

This bakery can truly bring any cake idea to life! Their cakes are delicious, perfectly moist, and pleasantly not overly sweet—which makes them even better. I ordered a birthday cake from here, and it was outstanding. They executed the design exactly as I envisioned.

They have all doors closed before 9 pm. Laughing and giggling while im at the door. Listening to loud music and talking like they got nothing else to do. Do people just not care anymore? This is the picture i took and they saw me and kept talking and laughing. Is this how you treat your costumers? Why do you guys lie about your closing time?

I called to place an order and spoke with a woman who had difficulty understanding English. That wasn’t a problem, so I switched to Spanish, but there was still a lot of confusion before I was finally able to place my order. After waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes, I called for an update and was told that the driver was on the way. Fifteen minutes later, with no food delivered, I called again. This time I was told the food had been returned because they didn’t know the price of the order. I was sh

I recently had the pleasure of ordering a custom birthday cake for my 7-year-old niece's party, and Mio's Bakery truly outdid themselves. The theme was Labubu, and the cake was absolutely beautiful—it was the showstopper of the party! The ordering process was seamless. The gentleman who took my request was incredibly helpful and professional. He proactively asked if I had an inspiration picture (which I did), ensuring he understood the precise vision for the character design. I’m happy to repor

Ive been to many Ecuadorian restaurants before, and to Ecuador. This is the closest place to experiencing real Ecuadorian food. The food is 1000/10, very fresh. And the aesthetic is very neat and its clean. Small place, I hope they expand.

Best place to buy an empanada if you are in a hurry. The beef, chicken, and cheese empanadas are very good. The female workers that work there are amazing. $2.50 each for an empanada is still pretty decent. You won’t find empanadas anywhere priced at $2.50 because in other locations, they are priced at $3.00. But definitely come visit this place.

I grew up with this place and have known it all my life, I’ve probably had their fruit salad nearly 100 times. When Lorena is there it’s exactly as I remember it, sweet and quick service and you can tell there is art and care put towards what she makes. But it looks like there’s new employment last two years and everytime I get serviced by that person I experience lackluster customer service (which is a lot for me to say given it’s the simplest ordering process) and then the salad is like THROWN

I stopped by after I saw someone giving flyers to a new spot in my neighborhood. I was intrigued by the flyer so I decided to go into the restaurant to see all the options of meats that they serve. The person who I believe is the owner was very friendly and passionate about his food. They let me try out a few meats and in the end I ended up building my own bowl. I got 2 proteins, rice and water. The drink selections were great as well, had a couple of sodas and water. Everything looked fresh. Th
