You won't think you're in NYC when you step in here. Love the authentic decor and their service is top notch. I can't say enough good things about the shrimp quesadilla. They do it right!
One of those gems that only locals from the neighborhood know. Enchanting, romantic, decor. Gracious, linen-table service. Home cooked, fresh meals w/ depth of flavor. Vegetarian menu is great! Ask!
Delicious cod and the affogatodessert was sublime. It’s very old school which isn’t normally my thing but they’ve kept it very yummy and haven’t let things slide.
Gourmet old-school Mexican cuisine, since 1959. Offbeat location between 1st Ave & Tunnel Entrance Street makes it a neighborhood secret, and the locals like it that way. Superb.
A gem. Every dish has a rich depth of flavor. Starting with the salsa- it’s like nothing you’ve ever tried or will ever try. I could eat it with a spoon. And I might have done that.
Opened in 1959, great, family-owned Mexican restaurant. Serious food, not Tex-Mex. Fish tacos are to die for. You can rent the private party room downstairs.
Lovely setting, looks like a real Mexican venue!Tacos tray is tasty&helpful if u are undecided as it has a bit of everything,can be an apetizer to share for 2 or a main dish for a very hungry person!
The Baja fish tacos here are the very best I've had ANYWHERE. That's Orange Roughy in there, and it is cooked to absolute perfection. Add a nachos normales to start and you've got a great dinner.
The QuesadillaCamarones has the perfect proportion of Gulf Shrimp and melted, smooth cheese and is accompanied by roasted tomato salsa that adds just the necessary tang to the dish.
Happy birthday to Kolya and everyone else who celebrated here! Now, the food: it's good, 4 stars, but better at Pampano or Yerba Buena. Service is however 5+. impeccable! Decor too! Awesome!
They can get fairly custom with the dishes. Pick an item you like and have it your way. Drinks are very fresh. Relatively easy to get a table because of its obscure location in Murray Hill .

Never before have I had to wait two whole hours in a restaurant before receiving my entree... until tonight. The food is delicious, but only if you're willing to wait for potentially a very long time.
NYC's oldest Mexican restaurant serving delectable classic and contemporary dishes in a warm inviting atmosphere since 1959. A large tequila selection, superb margaritas and a well put wine list add to the enjoyment while cared for by a jovial wait staff.
