What's Good HereWhat's Good Here: These are the Carne Asada and Carnitas Tacos. Try the steak or pork tacos first, then the chicken.

Kristen B.Kristen Baxter: Carnitas burrito or tacos w/ all the fixin's is your best bet. Bowls tend to be bland despite having the same ingredients.For midtown, this is your best bet for anything close to Mexican/Cali-Mex food

CayaCaya: Just take a carnitas burrito. Just take it.

Nicolette R.Nicolette Romero: It's all about the carnitas. 👌

jenny r.jenny rock: Finally, authentic tacos! Carnitas tacos with Onions and Cilantro only. So good. And their green salsa on top is super delicious.

ZenFoodsterZenFoodster: Guac too runny for my taste, chips are out of a bag, & quesadillas are ok. But the Carnitas taco (w/ the Salsa verde) is this hole-in-the-wall's shining star! Not cheap for a to-go only kiosk.

Tee J.Tee Jimenez: I had the soft carnitas tacos for lunch today, the flavor was WOW. Meeting friends for dinner tonight & were meeting here.

Oscar T.Oscar Trelles: Go for the guacamole (made table side) and the fish tacos. Also try the jalapeño infused margaritas.

MeliMeli: Upscale Mexican food that's worth the price. Lobster quesadilla & chicken quesadilla are savory; guacamole is tasty and chunky; pineapple & mango mojitos are must tries. Will def return for more.

David G.David Greenberger: One of the best lunch deals in Midtown (even on weekends). Go for the Pho Bo ($8) to heat you up on a cold day. Ask for extra noodles and make it two meals.

Dino O.Dino O: Pho is always pho sho

Alan H.Alan Huang: Excellent pho, perhaps best in manhattan
