"The staff is very nice."
"The staff were super courteous to all of our questions and requests."
"Service excellent."
Cons:
"Our server Yessica, had to be chased down to take our order, give us basics like water, utensils, plates, etc."
"The waitress gave us the wrong order and then had the nerve to have an attitude when we let her know it was wrong."
"After 1.5 hours waiting they didn't bring it... we all felt like were ignored so we paid the bill 170.00 and left....not what the service is supposed to be....sad"
"The staff was confused with our order and kept bringing wrong things."
"The food wasn’t flavorful as in the past when I was there, I made sure to taste everything before the day started."
"The staff was no where to be found despite a somewhat warm welcome."
"The food was bland, and it was hard to get my server's attention."
Food Quality
Pros:

"The guacamole was amazing!"
"The huevos de nopales breakfast burrito was delicious!"
"The flavors enhanced the juicy meats and left you wanting more."
"Very special vegan burrito that has the quiet zing of manageable chiles."
"The agua fresca de sandia was delicious! It's made from fresh watermelon juice sweetened with agave with a touch of lime."
"The food tasted excellent and the ingredients seemed fresh."
Cons:
"Limited menu, flavorless tacos and quesadillas (unless salt counts as a flavor). Overpriced."
"The Baja fish taco... did lack a little flavor."
"Both the carnitas and al pastor were dry to the point of desiccation."
"A bit over priced, food arrived sort of 'Luke warm' steak tacos were on the dry side."
"Missed the mark for me. Al Pastor was dry AF. Seared fish was salty AF."
"Chicken tacos were dry. Just chicken and some bean paste."
"Guacamole was flavorless. I tasted no salt lime or cilantro, just mashed avocado."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"When I walked in I felt like I had just stepped in an authentic restaurant in Mexico City."
"Also the restaurant itself is such a great warm environment."
"The atmosphere is warm, the staff are really cool."
"Nice place to visit with friends and hangout."
"Pretty chill and relaxing place to kick back with friends."
"And I loved the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant."
"The atmosphere is very welcoming, it could get a bit loud but that is totally fine because there is inside and outdoor seating."
Cons:
"The space was loud and a bit of an echo, so I couldn't really engage in a conversation."
"Prepare to use your outside voice as it is a high traffic area and there's music blaring."
"It's a little cold inside in January, but definitely worth a bit of frost bite."
"The restaurant itself didn't look clean for this area in Brooklyn NY they can do that better than that."
"I rated a three because there was nothing to hate (well may I did hate the dimness of the restaurant…and I hated the slightly sticky and dirtiness of the restaurant…but I forgive them for trying to be “authentic” and being in the middle of a busy downtown of Brooklyn)."
"The only thing that bothered me was that the cups for the water weren't washed properly."
"The superiority complex on the part of the Latin waitresses is IRRATIONAL, the difference in service and xenophobia is clearly noticeable."
Value
Pros:
"Great food. Not too expensive."
"The food is definitely affordable."
"Order as many different tacos separately as you want and fair prices."
"Oh, the prices are the secret sauce that keeps me coming here more often than anywhere in Ft Greene."
"The quality of their ingredients is very noticeable, it's always fresh and you feel like you got your money's worth."
"Prices are right, too, which is rare for good restaurants in this area."
"Prices are fair."
Cons:
"Good Mexican food at French food size portions with Japanese food prices…"
"Only reason I wouldn't rate 5 stars is because the value for money here isn't great."
"Portions are small, over priced, somewhat authenticish."
"$5.00 for a Taco no never again there are way better tacos in Roosevelt Ave queens."
"The proportions are really small and not worth the price."
"The prices were slightly high considering the size."
"It was a little on the pricey side seeing that the portion sizes were relative to street tacos."
