“ love the birria tacos from this place, always fast pickup and super nice people there ”

“ I used to love this hole in the spot's burrito back in 2014, so I had to make a visit this year when I came back to NYC. I got the giant burrito with grilled beef. First off, the burrito is HUMONGOUS-- definitely good when you're starving. Overall, the burrito was decent, but it was lacking some of the flavors from that I had remembered from back in 2014. Service was fantastic-- super friendly and fast! Ambiance was extremely casual. ”

“ Had the chicken tacos which had a perfect char. Yummy! Portions are generous and the food good. Restaurant is a bit of a hole in the wall and the prices match. Food is tasty. ”

“ I ordered the carne asada torta for takeout, but I have also eaten in there before. It's a small no frills hole in the wall Mexican place. It's fairly authentic and the prices are very reasonable. My torta came out to ~$9. It's not the best Mexican food that I've ever had, but it's fairly good for the cost. The people at the front are friendly and the service is quick. ”

“ Please note: The accompany photo is pretty lousy, I'd blame the camera but that wouldn't be fair to Samsung since 95% of the photos I take are pretty lousy, and the other 5% are atrocious. But I hope you get the idea. This is a hole in the wall mostly take out place with just a few tables inside and a few outside. I should give it a 5 as a hole in the wall. But overall, even when compared to a tablecloth place, it's a 4. The complementary chips and tomatillo and salsa were god. The chips reminded me of chips I'd had at a roadside place on the way from Oaxaca to Monte Alban, though the ones in Mexico were still warm and had a slight sheen from the oil that hadn't totally dripped off. But these had the same blisters. Maybe store made? Really good. My Al Pastor Burrito. MY AL PASTOR BURRITO!!! Yes. The tortilla was freshly made, then and there. Slight flakiness. Rice and beans were fine. strings of cheese were nice. The pork was superb. I ate a piece of the pork separately first, and it wasn't dry - the guy at the griddle was paying attention. And i'm not sure how he did it, but he got a nice char on it. Just delicious. I asked them to add jalapeno slices, thinking they'd be like the ones at my deli that come pickled in a jar. Nope. Sliced fresh jalapeno. Kind of a big difference in kick between pickled and fresh. It was very welcome, like a cup of strong coffee at 2pm after having only had decaf all morning and early afternoon. And size? Big. No, bigger than that. I'm guessing 25% to 50% larger than any other burrito I've ever had. Enough for lunch AND dinner. Though to be fair, my lunch partner, who had a beef burrito, ate the entirety of his. I think he's getting ready to hibernate. ”

“ I recently moved to the area and needed a go-to casual Mexican spot, and came here since it seemed to be a popular place that fit the bill. There are a few tables both inside and outside and I sat outside, but I might opt to sit inside next time since while the food came quickly, I do think the server kind of forgot about us after we got our food and we didn't get water refills or the check until we flagged someone down. That said, I really liked my food and the prices are super reasonable and worth returning. The meal started with fresh tortilla chips and a salsa verde - always love restaurant chips. I ordered a plain cheese quesadilla since I didn't want too big of a meal, and the portion size was just right for that: two corn tortillas (corn is better than flour in my opinion) stuffed with not your usual greasy melty cheese but a firmer white Mexican cheese (akin to halloumi), plus a generous serving of salad with some sour cream and a different cheese on top. The quesadilla cheese had a great bite to it and you can honestly get the plain or veggie quesadilla without missing the meat. It would be helped by some dip or salsa, but there was enough salsa verde left from the free chips that did the job. Hoping to return to try the classic tacos and burritos, plus the really affordable tortas! My dining partner got a burrito bowl which was a sizable portion and looked super promising. ”
