    1st time here, won't be the last. In an area surrounded by overpriced burritos, garbage burritos, or burritos big enough to feed 97 ppl, this was perfectly sized, seasoned, & priced. Got chorizo. Read more

    Breakfast tacos are small, rich, and satisfying. Vegetarian? Just say, “no meat.”

    One of the few places to get actual breakfast tacos on the city, especially on a weekday. They are fantastic but tiny! Just do yourself a favor and get 3.

    Wonderfully light, authentic Mexican breakfasts. Fresh ingredients, friendly low price.

    The tortas are a great option if you aren't burrito hungry, and the multiple vegetarian options make this place a solid go-to.

    Addicted to the breakfast burrito. People, this place is the JAM for breakfast. Mexican hot chocolate is a must!

    Olé? NO WAY a legit Mexican when..no salsas given; ckn Tamale was bone-dry; burrito w/ shaved CARROTS (huh? R u a banh mi?!); & Carne Asada torta small & bland. Dullest meal ever! Chipotle is better.

    The homemade chorizo is succulent and savory need I say more? Get the 2 for 3.50 breakfast taco special. You won't be disappointed.

    A nice but limited selection of serving varieties (double-layer tacos, burrito, etc.) with great fillings!

    A modern, surprisingly impressive taqueria with some hefty tortas and vibrant fillings.

    This is becoming my favorite place to get lunch in the vicinity of our office. A little more expensive than Chipotle, but shorter lines and so yummy! - Todd Olmstead

    Debatable if its better than Dos Torros, but its damn good and definitely better than larger chains. Get the Carnitas burrito and ask for the habanero sauce.

    Authentic little taco place a block north of Madison Square Park.

    Even though they don't want to, ask for carne asada on the torta. It falls apart and is messy but is awesome.

    Ask for habanero sauce if you want some extra spice - it's HOT.

    Don't pick your meat option, instead focus on the toppings that come with each and select based on that.

    Steak bowls are so good. Think of it as a more authentic Chipotle.

    The pork and beef are by far the best. Make sure you eat a ton of it.

    They've gone ahead and made Chipotle their bitch. So good. Special sauces for each protein and an awesome veg option. Woot!

    Used to be awesome. Not sure what happened, but it's not as good, more expensive and has smaller portions. Still great breakfast, otherwise head to chipotle.

    Call an audible: black bean soup (delicious) and 1 or 2 tacos. You're a fool if you don't throw el yucateco on top

    They make their churros to order (~5min) so make sure you order ahead if you want them!

    Tacos are tasty but a little overpriced for the size. The torta on the other hand is torta-lly worth it

    I don't think you can find better breakfast burrito in the area. Get it with chorizo!

    Be prepared for lines, during peak lunch hours, but it's worth it.

    The Mexican-American war would have ended if they shared breakfast tacos. Taste the spirit of freedom and order one!

    I'm always disappointed by their portions, leaving me wanting more. Everything is an extra charge. They don't have a value added concept but what they lack in generosity they make up in taste

    Chorizo. In a bowl. Or the best breakfast burrito in flatiron.

    If you're in the area go.to calexico instead. This is another nyc taco place that forgets about a quality tortilla
