I can understand why people would be charmed by this place. the staff is friendly and very helpful, the atmosphere is perfect for the food and the price. However, this is just another example of bland mexican food New York City style. The guac and salsa were almost tasteless, we actually tried to up the guac with salt and the salsa was made with canned tomatoes, gross. One of my tacos was cold. Not room temperature. Cold. The ingredients went from the fridge directly onto my plate. The cornmeal in the tamale was hard and chewy from being nuked too long. Nothing was quality and it obviously wasn't so fresh. All of this after waiting an hour and 15 after being told it would be 40 minutes with a phone call. No call, then 75 minutes later we literally had to fight other patrons for our table. Spice, please! Fresh clilantro, please! Quality ingredients, please! we'll pay the extra dollar!
Pros: staff, atmosphere
Cons: food
