Great LES Mexican

by OD at Citysearch

This place represents good value, especially if you can make it for the happy hour specials. It's really small so I would advice going off peak times anyway. Weather permitting it's nice with the windows open but the sidewalk tables face Allen St which is a bit like sitting on the FDR.

• Pros: Excellent food, fast service, reasonably priced
• Cons: Draft beer was a bit flat

overpriced and overrated little hole.

this place is the biggest rip off in the E. Village. you have to wait too long because the place is the size of a pea. the food is expensive, salty, greasy. they can lower their prices and try to make their own homemade salsas daily like they should, and maybe we would return again.

• Pros: can't think of anything.
• Cons: noisy, expensive.

my belly was not nearly big enough

by pastywhitegirl at Citysearch

i went sunday night with a friend. we had squash blossom mexican-style quesadillas, duck carnitas, and scallop tacos. my friend and i are small but big eaters in the way of the restaurant compadres we are, but i still had leftovers to last a day or so. (i am fresh out and headed back soon to restock.) the wee space isn't for everyone, but i thought it worked, mate. the cash only "feature" reminds me of philly, but what ya gonna do? it's not any more hassle than finding out your cabbie is one of the few left that don't take cards. frankly, good on them for dissing the credit card merchants. nope, not a hippie, not a commie - just see the sense that such a small space NOT pay credit card fees. oh, and don't sit at the bar on a cold day or if you have a cold. they've only got the one a/c unit for the whole space, and that's where it aims. bis spater.

• Pros: THE FOOD, the booze, the space, the fact the staff loves the food
• Cons: didn't mind the smallness but you might; carry cash or an atm card because they've already got a dishwasher

Reasonable food, shady service. (NOTE: THEY ACCEPT CASH ONLY)

by irish41687 at Citysearch

The food and service were decent - though quite disappointing after reading so many good reviews. At the end of the meal, they informed us (for the first time) that they do not accept credit cards--only cash. The waiter then pointed to a line of TINY print on the front of the menu that was supposed to have let us know about this before we sat down without cash in our pockets. Already quite peeved, we asked where the nearest bank was and he replied that he didn't know (we looked one up and it was only two blocks away). He then slyly suggested an ATM at a bodega next door (they obviously have a "mutually beneficial" arrangement). They were not accommodating nor were they particularly friendly. In fact, they were borderline rude about the whole thing. The hassle of having to interrupt our meal to go get cash, however, was the straw that broke the camel's back. I will not be returning.
