Mexican Restaurant · Midtown East · 39 tips and reviews

Morgan M.Morgan McKee: As a connoisseur of Tex Mex, I approve for comfort Mexican food. It’s sacrilegious to not start with guac and seven dips. Pastrami tacos and short rib make your own tacos are🔥. Layer on a few margs!

LilyLily: NYMag Where to Eat (1/2018): "There's an excellent steak tartare, and a delicious confit of short rib. Save room for avocado parfait, a made-for-Instagram creation that lives up to the hype."

LilyLily: Guacamole/salsa flight and short ribs are overrated, but tacos and cocktails are solid. Downstairs bar can be a raucous white-collar bro-fest, but the upstairs dining area is an oasis above it all.
