This is my absolute favorite Mexican food place in the city, and this is coming from a Mexican born and raised. The food is authentic and delicious, drinks are always on point and the check is never excessive. It’s great food and ambience at a very accessible price for Tribeca.

The service and the place was good. Drinks were great. However, there was some inconsistencies in the food quality. Some meals were great while others were, at best, average. The price didn’t match the quality. I’m sad to say, but I wouldn’t recommend and I won’t be back. FYI, there’s a 20% fee for groups. We weren’t aware of this.

Viva Mexico! Wonderful cuisine, here you get every flavor one need to experience in every dish. The smokies of the peppers, the consistency of every dish that we had this evening outstanding and all the past visits, always outstanding. This has to be my favorite of favorite closest to what one will get back in Mexico. The margaritas are always fantastic & Rosalita sooo refreshing made of hibiscus. Service this time was not as attentive as usual but it was just ok. Usually, is great, restaurant was not packed for early Sunday afternoon. Don't miss out all the flavors from Chef Santibeñez recipes bring to NYC from Mexico...love it! Definitely my go to for Mexican food..

Enjoyed the food. Guac and chips were super tasty. Grilled fish tacos (choice of grilled or fried) were delish. Friend has enchilada which the enjoyed. Only sour note was when guac bowl was removed to make room for main plates. We had not finished all the guac (which was delicious). Tried to address with mgr but he said guac was gone (all of us agreed there was some, if not a lot, left in the bowl). Otherwise, good meal, nice place, super friendly server, good margaritas and mojitos.
