Cheap & reasonably priced Mexican food & drinks in the Lower East Side. Owners & staff are super nice. They even have a “Super Taco Tuesday” specials: $4 select tacos, $5 draft, $10 margaritas.

There’s a lot to love about this small Mexican shop! I ordered steak tacos & a chips/pico/guac combo and am a VERY happy camper. The tacos are a filling portion size & the meat is well-seasoned. The pico was just okay but the guac was delicious so again, net positive!I ordered for takeaway & my food was ready in 10-15 minutes. The woman working was very nice & packed our food SO securely… my husband commented on the meticulous packing for transportWe will be back!

My favorite taco place in the LES. My friends and I cone here about once a week for tacos & margs– everyone LOVES the spicy shrimp tacos and the horchata. Super affordable and delicious. Sometimes they have specials on the menu & they never disappoint. Great deals on taco Tuesday too!

After getting my nails done on Orchard I was walking around the neighborhood looking for something to eat. This place happened to be on the corner and was filled with people eating out front. So we walked in and saw the many menu options they had and immediately ordered Chicken Tinga tacos and Coronas. It took a little minute but if you know good authentic food you know it’s worth the wait! And it was! The tacos were flavorful and filled with cilantro and onions. They paired it with radishes and your choice between 2 sauces. One was mild and one was spicy. I mixed them both and we inhaled the tacos. The staff was also very friendly.
