Profile

With its papaya- and mango-colored walls, jauntily hung sombreros, and gleaming tile floors, this corner Mexican place is conspicuously cheerful. Tourists and NYU students occupy the plain Formica tables, happy with their pitchers of margaritas, bowls of tortilla chips, and giant baskets of steaming tacos. And why not? While “spicy” picadillo and pork tinga (ground beef and shredded pork) come with puddles of black beans and ketchupy salsa, plainer dishes like pico de gallo quesadillas and white-meat chicken enchiladas are decent enough. Both of the latter are made with hot, fresh-pressed tortillas and tasty Manchego cheese. After a long slog through Greenwich Village, it’s hard to find fault with a cheap feed and a big, fruity drink. — Sarah Gold

The food is excellent. The drinks are strong and well worth the value. Very few places you can eat dinner for under $10. Try their flavored margaritas and mojitos. They are out of this world!

Terrible

I ate here for lunch last friday, and didn't eat again until Monday morning. And not because it was filling. In fact, you might say it was quite the opposite. If you are considering eating here, do make sure you can take the next few days off. Also I should add the food is really unremarkable, not worth the long course you'll spend with anti-biotics. I hope you'll avoid this place. After last weekend's debacle, I certainly will.
