"Manhattan's Best Mexican. Well, the internet reviews of this UWS Mexican dive all looked good so I finally decided to jump in. Glad I did. This Mexican food is way authentic and incredibly delicious, too! <br/ <br/ I have to admit, I just got take out the first time, but when I brought it home and ate it, it was the bombs! I downloaded a menu and called their . <br/ <br/ From what I'd read, it seemed like they might be slow so I called and ordered off the downloaded menu before I left. By the time I got in the car, picked up some beer at 95 Columbus and cruised up from 70 to 107, they had all my stuff waiting for me in a nice tidy bundle. 20 minutes. <br/ <br/ The carne enchilada taco was loaded with very tasty meat. I was quite satisfied, lots of cilantro and onion, too. The sope shell was kind of stale, but when you let the juices flow into it, these sopes are great beneath their meat, romaine and crema toppings. The carnitas on the sope could have been fried a little crisper though. Best of all however, was the torta. It was mega meat filled and had all of the ingredients that make a torta a torta! They also load on the mayo which is what I like and again, there is SO MUCH meat! I'll order a torta from here any day. <br/ <br/ Looked very crowded when I went there, but was fine for take out. On off hours it's really easy to snag a table. <br/ <br/ I've since been back many times for tacos, alambres, chilaquiles and many more excellent, authentic Mexican fare and I can quite confidently state this is the best Mexican in Manhattan and right here on the UWS to boot!"

"Unfortunately this place is a scam, don’t waste your time here. I’m not sure if the owner is in it as well or just the waitress but they just tried to overcharge my friends and I on our bill. We went to see the Canelo fight on 05/07/2022 and bought a bucket of drinks each. Asked for jello shots and never received it. But when it came down to the bill we were charged for ridiculous amount of buckets that we never ordered or drank plus the jello shots that we never received. So we asked to review the bill with the waitress but she refused. She claimed that we had ordered the crazy amount of buckets and had to pay. We asked to speak to a manager the waitress lied and brought her friend over (clearly the other waitress) claiming she was the manager. We didn’t buy it so asked to see the camera footage of us supposedly drinking the crazy amount of buckets they were trying to charge us for. They refused and finally after a long back and forth argument when we decided we were going to call the police, they seemed nervous didn’t want to involve the authorities and billed us the correct amount. We paid the bill and left. Never coming back here, this place is a scam, fraud, a deceitful place. Don’t bother coming here to have a good time with friends because they will try to steal from you. Always check your bill, make sure to do your math, and don’t allow anyone to take your hard-earned money."
