I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much, I heard it was good though. So happy we dropped in! I had a burrito that was just absolutely terrific and completely unexpected. Service was very good and it seemed that the staff shared the responsibility. I will certainly look to head back.

Great spot for dinner/drinks if you're in the area. Waiter was very helpful and nice, was quick to recommend the quesadillas over other more expensive options. I love when I get a real recommendation and not "everything's good" or just a push for the most expensive item. And yeah, the chorizo quesadilla was amazing - unlike any quesadilla I've ever had. It was flaky and crisp, and the flavors blended perfectly with the spicy chorizo, sweet corn and tangy sauce. Ambience isn't amazing. Small outdoor seating area along the busy sidewalk and cramped indoor dining room. Nothing fancy but still a solid choice. Perfect for a casual get together with friends.

Fresh and tasty authentic Mexican at a fair price. Not fancy, just good food and service. Easy walk from upper west side or midtown.
