GOOD MEXICAN IN AREA STARVED FOR DECENT RESTAURANTS
4 Star Rating: Recommended

05/18/2008 Posted by 2peas

After living in Stuyvesant Town for 14 years, I am glad there is finally a good Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood. It's a little more pricy than your basic burrito joint, but everything I have eaten there is yummy. Try the Al Pastore tacos with the pulled pork or the shrimp with a watermelon margarita! They even have a brunch menu which is very good. Some of the reviews complain about small portions byut I don't find that to be true. I think people are accustomed to super sized portions at Mexican restaurant. One complain though, the've screw up delivery orders a lot. Might be becuase they can't hear-it is a bit noisy.

Pros: great cocktails, great tacos

Cons: very noisy

Fresh, irresistible taqueria fare for the masses on the eastern edge of Gramercy.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Served in stemless glasses, the potent margaritas rank with the city's best and come in surprising flavors like lemon basil, cilantro, and tamarind.
