The burrito was not what I remembered or expected. It was bland and the chicken was dry, pretty lack luster. Chipotle’s probably would have hit the spot more. I took home half and doctored it up. They do still serve their famous corn which was our favorite before heading home on a late night.
The staff served a purpose but felt they were more bothered by waiting on people.
It’s a cool little local spot with a perfect corner location. It’s small inside, but pretty cozy. They also offer outdoor seating if it gets too crowded.
I had the Huevos con Chorizo with a glass of Agua de Jamaica, while my wife had the Breakfast Tacos and a glass of lemonade. Our food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Everything was made from scratch and cooked to order. The beverages really hit the spot, and based on the flavors, I’d say there are no powdered drinks served here.
If you’re looking for frills and thrills, this isn’t the place for you. But if you want fast, casual service with good, fresh food, I definitely recommend checking them out.
Literally Drive from NJ to NYC for corn. Tacos are delish…hubby really likes the Cubano. Rice and beans yum!!!
Overall 5 star!
The atmosphere is relaxed and busy, with people coming in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks. The vibe feels like New York meets Latin street cafe — colorful, friendly, and unpretentious.
Foodwise, the grilled Mexican-style corn is legendary and absolutely worth ordering; it’s smoky, tangy, and cheesy — almost addictive. I also loved the Cuban sandwich, which is juicy, well-pressed, and feels like what you imagine a good Cubano should be. Cocktails and margaritas are fun too, especially if you’re there for brunch or an early dinner.
Service is friendly and the place fills up fast, so going a bit early or being prepared to wait makes it smoother.
Overall: great for a fun meal that’s casual but full of flavor — perfect for a memorable lunch or laid-back dinner in Nolita.
