What to order: Corn Esquites · Barbacoa Taco · Baja Crispy Fish Taco · Guacamole con TotoposA Mexican restaurant that its design & vibes ships you right to Mexico, in the middle of Soho, New York. We came here for a light dinner, so we shared everything we ordered with the agenda of trying as many tacos as possible. We started off with a guacamole con totopos, which is basically guac & tortilla chips, served with 2 spicy sauces. The guac was fresh and delicious, with lots of lime juice, just the way I like it. We then continued to the mains, and ordered a few of their wide taco sele

Really great coffee. The service is very friendly. I love the welcoming and cozy decor, as well as the seating outside. I had a not so great food experience before (French toast was more like regular toast). But I’m still willing to give 5-stars anyway because of the lovely staff and overall vibe of the cafe. I love that you can order ahead on Uber Eats for pickup. We’ve been coming here almost every weekend for the past few months.

After traveling through Burma, I struggled to find authentic Burmese cuisine in the States that could truly compete with the real thing… until I found Eaterniti Burmese Street Food. Everything here is creatively curated and spot on. The team is lovely, and the owners define true hospitality. I wish we had a place like this in the DC market, but until then, I’ll gladly make the 4.5-hour drive. It is well worth the trip!

We will absolutely be returning & will specifically ask for CJ w

Recently visited for dinner and had such a lovely experience. From the moment we sat down, everything felt thoughtful and welcoming. We shared a few different dishes and every one of them was fantastic—rich, comforting curries with layers of flavor, fragrant rice dishes, and a creamy yogurt-based dish that was incredibly soothing and well balanced. The food was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. Nothing felt heavy or overwhelming—just deeply satisfying, clearly made wi
