Great little Mexican gem in LIC. Great atmosphere, amazing service, and really delicious and tasty food. In addition, prices are very affordable, especially for the high quality and service you get. For instance the tacos and the enchiladas were amazing. I would definitely recommend and go back.

Absolutely delicious. You must visit here and try a variety of everything. The especial was a particular highlight! The portions are big and 2 is probably fine for 1 person (but I happily got through 4). Itâs more of a place for a takeaway/ very quick standing up eat but that shouldnât deter you.

We were staying in the area and went here for a low-key dinner. We took the server's suggestions and weren't disappointed! The drinks were good and the chips/salsa were really tasty. But beware: our eyes were much bigger than our stomachs and we couldn't eat it all. Because the service is really fast, I'd suggest you under-order for the first round and then get some tacos and such later if you're still hungry. The portions are pretty filling.

We came in on a Sunday evening and were not looking for a long heavy meal so only ordered a main course. Everyone had something different and we all agreed that the food was really good.The waiters were pleasant and friendly and the ambience in the restaurant gave it a nice comfortable feeling.Will definitely come back.

The restaurant is owned by brothers John and Tommy Greco along with their longtime friend Christian Tanno. The Greco name should ring a bell: Chef/Restaurateur John oversees the beloved Village eatery Philip Marie (open 18 years) that serves up delicious

Nice friendly restaurant providing very good steaks, the Filet Mignon was superb. The whole experience was good until payment time. Unfortunately the experience was ruined to some extent by a waiter who chose to overcharge an item on the bill &, instead of discreetly apologising & removing the overcharge, took the option to loudly & repeatedly 'argue his case' in front of all the diners. Regretably the Management, who where in earshot, chose to ignore the issue until we asked the waiter to call the Manager to our table - only then did they remove the overcharge from the bill.As stated above - good food but I would suggest that all potential diners keep an eye on their bills. Scoring would have been higher if the overcharge incident had been dealt with properly.
