    Hidden Mexican treasure in Chelsea! They make a mean chicken burrito, perfect portion size and great quality of rice and beans.

    The Mission, this is not. They serve teeny tiny classic burritos, about the size you'd get from Taco Bell. They still taste good; they're just small.

    Much better than the decor indicates. Authentic Mexican. Everything is good but try a burrito or a steak quesadilla.

    Lunch combo is enough food for two meals, especially if you get an extra taco. Save your rice and beans for a "free" dinner.

    Burritos and flautas were quite good! Fresh tortillas were solid.

    Great Mexican food for a low price. Much better than Taco Hell a few blocks down.

    Best post-workout meal around. I crush a couple tacos at least once a week.

    Super cheap, super speedy mexican food (for maximum food to price ratio: Tostada Salad combo)

    Get a decent bite for less than the price of a latte. Don't let the nonexistent decor deter you.

    Not enough space to sit and eat. Also no mention of a fajita combo on the menu.
