Bottom Line: Good Food, Terrible Service
3 Star Rating: Average

I live across the street from this restaurant and it became an instant favorite of mine...until as is the case with many successful restaurants in Soho it seems, they became "too cool". Service at the side cafe is terrible and the attitude regarding the basement is absurd. When did Mexican street fare require a reservation months in advance??? Likewise the attitude of the delivery team seems to be that they will answer the phone in their own good time. Well an avid fan is now seeking other eats. The attitude here used to be ok, but now it has gone the way of Cafe Habana...Good food, terrible service. Hopefully they right the ship, in the meantime find somewhere that still understands that they exist to service the customer, not the other way around.

Pros: Good food

Cons: Terrible service (side cafe/delivery) and ridiculous attitude for basement restaurant

Editor's Review

Casual taqueria, chic cafe and subterranean brasserie at one muy hip, Mexican-themed corner.  See the full editorial review.

The Extras

For a quick bite and more limited menu, try the attached Cafe Esquina, open for lunch and dinner. Even more pressed for time? Line up at the taqueria's take-out window.
