This festively-decorated Mexican restaurant caters mostly to nearby NYU students and locals lured in by sangria, margaritas, and dinner discounts.

I went here last night with my sister and friend, and we had a great time. The Sangria was juicy and delicious, and they had an all you can eat menu for monday night $10.95! It is so cheap and a really nice setting. Wait staff is accomodating. I had enchiladas suiza, my sister had fajitas, and my friend had a veggie burrito. We were all really happy. They have outdoor rooftop seating! do not miss out!

Pros: sangria, all you can eat monday!

Mixed Crowd & Cheap Drinks

by gripdxd at Citysearch

This place draws a mixed crowd for happy hour and it gets PACKED! Drinks are cheap and the bartenders work fast. The music is also a mix of dance, pop & latin. If you are dining, you need to get there super early. It's a small place and it looks grimy, good thing it's dark inside. If you're in the area and need to get a cheap drink on check it out.
