Great authentic Mexican cuisine. Been a customer for many years and have not had a bad meal ever. New management at the New Dorp location, but kitchen staff is the same making the food unchanged.
Fantastic place to grab food, I've never had a single thing be less than stellar. The chorizo burrito is dope.
If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further. The tacos here take me straight back to Harlem and Corona. Tried the lengua, barbacoa, chicken, and carne enchilada tacos. All were delicious. Horchata was sweet and refreshing. In my opinion, ho brah serves more of a Cali-style trendy taco (think blackened fish) while this place is the true New Yorker Mexican food experience with tortas, chilaquiles, and the best proteins (pig ear, beef tongue, etc). Nice people as well. Also, bonus for not being stingy with their sauces (I’m looking at you, Chinelos).
