You have to try this place in Manhattan, good vibe, excellent service (Diego was awesome with us); the patty burger was really 👌 🙌, the rice with caraotas (beans), cheese and pico ohhh my god!!! Cold beer very important (Happy Hour)! 100% recommend!
Blah, went for lunch and everything was ok. NYC prices but doesn't deliver. No chips and salsa ok... so ordered guacamole which was made a while back cause it was very cold and was prob sitting in fridge. Cold chips that need salt. We tried a few different quesadillas that were all good with different flavors but really nothing special for what you pay! The mushroom was the winner! To many other mexican restaurants within 10 blocks to ever return here.
The food was. Got the beef quesadillas and was satisfied. I wish there were burritos on the menu but still enjoyed it. Good place to bring a friend, a date for late night meal or a group of 4/6 to be seared in the back. Smaller than the downtown location so would recommend reservation in that case. Seating and atmosphere is very cozy. 👍🏽
