Food was delicious – had a bit of a language barrier with the waitress, but that's perfectly fine! Had the potato flautas, side of rice and beans over a bed of salad. Potato filling was a bit lacking, but good in flavour. Texture was perfect, and the bed of lettuce/tomato was perfect. Rice and beans were good but nothing special. Tasted the veggie burrito, and it was also solid – rice and beans had a smokey flavour that I keep thinking about. Chips are definitely hearty, and you don't get salsa to start, but a chipotle mayo instead. Horchata was on point, but service was a little lax, because they had a huge party in there while we were guests. Karaoke was in full effect, which added to the charm. Would recommend this place if you're in Sunset Park!
I had two glasses of their homemade sangria, vegetable quesadillas (3 to an order), and a side of rice and beans (huge helping). It was all beyond good. If you find yourself in this area you should make a point to check this place out.
So I was having one of those days where if you don't get Mexican food on-the-ASAP you're going to go insane and start screaming at people in Fake Spanish. You know what I'm talking about here.
So off I was, walking home from the 59th Street train station and saw this place had some good reviews (thanks Yelp!) so I stopped in for some delicious gut-busting delicacies. I was in a plain-mane kind of mood and got the vegetarian burrito, which comes complete with all you see in my photo.
I got it to go, but picked it up in person. The restaurant was empty, but it was clean and decorated nicely. They also have a TV and music playing in the background.
The food was good, however would have done well with some melted cheese on top, or at least throw the tortilla on the grill for a few seconds – it was cold! One thing that irks me is hot food in a cold tortilla (or bread, etc) I dunno why. It's a texture / temperature thing. They just don't GO together.
Also, if you pay 11$ from a small Mexican restaurant for a vegetarian burrito they normally include beans and rice, sometimes even chips but this was just the burrito with some greens on the side. No biggie – but it would have been great to have some frijoles.
The server was pleasant and gave good customer service, also they take debit card at no extra charge.
All in all it was a good burrito, but I wouldn't feel a desire to return here in the near future.
