"I recently tried the chicken trio tacos with black beans and rice after a recommendation from an online gaming friend from Arkansas (we're native New Yorkers). We placed a walk-in order, and since I'm not fluent in Spanish, I let my son handle the ordering while I skimmed the menu later for this review. We ended up ordering both the chicken and steak taco trios. I didn’t take a photo of the steak tacos, but visually they were quite similar—just a different type of meat.
The food was flavorful, especially after adding some freshly squeezed lime and the green sauce that came with the meals. The meat was chopped very finely, so the lime and sauce helped to add moisture. My only criticism is that the meat was slightly dry, which may have been due to the quick turnaround time from when we ordered to when we received our meal, possibly indicating it was pre-made and kept warm.
I appreciated the blend of seasonings used, particularly the strong presence of cilantro in the meat filling, though my son picked those out of his steak tacos. The black beans and rice were also quite good. We opted for takeout, but I noticed they offer a variety of bottled drinks, all produced by the Mexican Coca-Cola factory in glass bottles with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
The restaurant itself was well-maintained and clean, with whimsical decorations featuring a string of Patron tequila bottles up front. I recommend checking the menu beforehand, as no substitutions are allowed; what you order is what you get. They serve corn tortillas, and if you have a cilantro allergy, be aware that it cannot be removed since it’s a key ingredient in their seasoning. Overall, if you're looking for authentic Mexican street food, this is definitely a place to visit."
