I regret to say that the food fell short of expectations. I ordered calamari, which turned out to be quite bland, and the sauce served with it lacked flavor as well. I also tried the tostadas, but they were disappointing; the taco shell was stale and hard to bite into, and the chicken was served cold. It didn't quite resemble an authentic tostada, and while I didn't necessarily expect that, I would have appreciated at least meeting the basic standards. My wife ordered "chipotle wings," which she thought tasted like BBQ. When we asked about it, we were informed they were actually chipotle BBQ wings, a combination I hadn't encountered before. The drinks were okay but nothing remarkable. I woul...

Edit: A few months ago, the owners informed me that they were leaving, and new owners took over shortly after. Since the change, I've noticed a decline in the quality of the birria. For instance, the birria burrito now comes with soggy plain fries instead of the seasoned, crispy curly fries they used to serve. Additionally, the presentation has diminished to a bare minimum. It's really disappointing because I used to order takeout from here about twice a week since I live nearby. Previously, I would have given this place a five-star rating. I live in the area and would come here for my favorite birria burrito—it's some of the best birria I've had on Long Island. The atmosphere is lively as...

I ordered the nachos, quesadilla, and sweet plantains. Unfortunately, both the nachos and quesadilla were overloaded with an abundance of vegetables that didn't belong in either dish. They included carrots, zucchini, squash, and broccoli, while traditional nacho toppings like jalapeños and tomatoes were either missing or minimal. Although the cheese sauce was delicious, it was only sparingly applied at the bottom of the nachos. The vegetables were bland and felt out of place. Additionally, the rice and beans had an unexpected cinnamon flavor, which dominated the overall dish. The sweet plantains were neither sweet nor properly cooked. Overall, I would not recommend this place due to their un...

I ordered chicken tacos (three included), a steak quesadilla (which had nothing but steak and cheese), and a piece of cake from a restaurant just six minutes away from our hotel. Unfortunately, everything was wet, unappetizing, and downright disgusting. The cake was drenched and melting, and the quesadilla was only half of one rather than a full serving. Both the tacos and the quesadilla were soggy, cold, and greasy. After my experience, I requested a full refund from the restaurant. I ended up spending over $30 on food that was completely unsalvageable. My main feeling is annoyance, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Book a table now

Got a full refund from store after purchase.Unsalvageable food after spending 30 plus dollars.... annoyed is the main feeling. Wouldn?t recommend to anyone

I ordered a birria burrito, and it was just okay. The salsa had good flavor, and the consomé was decent. However, the rest of the burrito lacked much taste. Overall, the experience felt greasy, with mushy frozen crinkle fries and a rather bland flavor profile.

The restaurant is now under new management and has a new name. The food was excellent, and our waitress, Maria, was delightful. They do offer vegetarian options, including vegan dishes, but be sure to specify that you don’t want sour cream.

I ordered a chicken burrito, but this is what I ended up with. I'm not sure how the potatoes ended up in there. The restaurant was also quite messy, and the staff was very unprofessional. Book a table now

I was suppose to get a chicken burrito and this is what came. Where did the potato?s come from. The place was a mess and the people were super unprofessional.
