An absolute joy to have in the neighborhood. The owners are so kind and have great food and my favorite are the tortas. I always come back for the birria torta and a little treat from their wide assortment of chips/candy/drinks/sauces. They even have popsicles in the summer. They’re generous with the sides and toppings and have your order ready quickly. 10/10 would recommend!

Cute, spacious Mexican restaurant. They have karaoke , amazing birria tacos and authentic paletas (ice cream bars). I could see this being a wonderful event space to hold a party or large group

Some of the best tacos and tortas I've had in New York, with very friendly and attentive service. Really nicely presented as well. And make sure to try the homemade paletas from the fridges in the front. So beautiful and delicious! Highly recommend

Came for the Birria platter, was not disappointed. The smokiness of the Salsa Roja is - will be coming back for a Cemita soon!

Came in on a Friday at noon - the interior was welcoming and clean. I ordered the La Callejera and it was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Portion was big for me - ended up eating half and will be eating other half for dinner. Would definitely come in again. Order total was about 21 for the torta and a Mexican coke.
