In Short
The dining options this far west in Hell's Kitchen are so slim, it would be churlish to complain about the bare-bones look of this tiny taqueria. Fluorescent lighting, a flat-screen TV and a few paintings don't exactly set a cozy mood, but the reason this place has become a cult favorite are the heaping plates of authentic Mexican fare. It would be easy to fill up on starters like gorditas, huaraches and flautas, but that would mean misssing out on tongue tacos, carne asada and mole enchiladas.

I went with my boyfriend last night, and we both loved our meals. We tend to be picky about our Mexican food since we grew up in southern California and Texas, but we had the most delicious cheap meal: a strawberry "milkshake" (not like a diner milkshake, more like strawberry blended with cream, sugar, and some ice- mmm mmm good!), spicy pork soft tacos for me, and al pastor burrito for him. The only thing that disappointed was the guacamole- low on flavor. It was good on the taco, but not good enough to just be eaten with chips. If you get the guacamole and chips, definitely add some salt to help it along. The people we went with had a shrimp dish they really enjoyed. But if you're looking for a romantic setting, the decor is bare bones.

Perfect soft tacos - at least 12 to choose from - I usually get the carnitas (fried pork) and carne asada (grilled steak) but the other ones are flavorful, too. They come with lots of guac, limes and radishes. Wash it down with a tamarind Jarritos. The bodega next door operates the take out contingent and is stocked with Mexican snacks. The burritos are also good (not heavy on the beans, a plus in my book) and huge. The mole is good. The fajitas are authentic, so don't be expecting a sizzling plate and a mariatchi band. Flan wraps up any meal nicely. Good neighborhood find
