"My family and I had a great time the waitress was really nice. The food was delicious. once we were done me and my family couldn’t get up that’s how delicious and filling the food was. I would really recommend this place to eat for dinner."

"Not only is the staff awesome they enjoyed Cinco de Mayo they made are night...The food was outstanding short rib tacos, shrimp chicken and steal fajitas outrageous ....guacamole was soo fresh ... beef nachos were amazing I will be coming back again and again love this place ..."

"With a diner-like appearance and colorful plates to add a southwestern palette, this place is like a Mexican / Diner hybrid. Upon entry, I noticed a cozy enclosed outdoor seating area, followed by a few steps up to the main entrance. Evening street parking was a breeze. Famished, we sat toward the back and commenced with two appetizers: guacamole with hearty tortillas chips (they don’t break when you scoop up the guacamole), and Choriqueso (melted cheese, chorizo, Picolo de gallo, guacamole, flour tortillas), I wasn’t crazy about the salsa, however, the guacamole was very good. I decided to try the Toro Narteño (grilled steak, jalapeño, pico de Galli, Monterey cheddar cheese). Which was very tasty, I found the jalapeño to be very fresh and crunchy, and My husband ordered the Enchiladas Suizas (pulled chicken, green salsa, corn tortillas, cheddar cheese, Monterey, Avocado, pickled red onions, rice & black beans). I didn’t like it at all, the tortilla tasted like it was made with all-purpose flour and the chicken was soggy. Rice and beans were ok. Our friend ordered the Burrito Classico (ground beef, shrimp, steak), he liked it. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. His recommendations for desserts that were made on premises were everything on the menu except the ice cream and mexican coffee cake. So we ordered the tres leches and the Mexican coffee cake (because I heard it’s made with mascarpone cheese! So it’s like tiramisù without the coffee). They really aced the Tres Leches. As a side note, if you have a sensitivity to msg, you should let them know because they do use adobo in their cooking. 4 stars are for cleanliness, wait staff, appetizers and dessert."

"Service and food here were excellent. The guacamole was fantastic and tasted fresh. The tacos didn't fall apart and they had wonderful combinations of flavors for each taco option. This is definitely my new go-to spot on Staten Island."
