Eddie DeSalvio

Most amazing burrito bowl of all time taste-wise. Problem is the lunch to-go line moves at the speed of snail. It's a constant struggle whether the amazing food is worth the agonizing wait

Matthew Spector

Fun and sometimes crowded soot from Stephen Starr's restaurant group attracts hordes of finance types. Go for the tacos al carbon , which are an extraordinarily good deal and feed far more than 2.

Vinny Diesel

Pistachio goat cheese guac is great, as is the mango-jicama flavor. Try out the sangria . If you're in the mood for a frozen drink , get the blood orange . Also, this place gets crowded .

Elliot Chance

I go here quite often and have tried a lot of the menu. The chicken tacos or mission burrito is the best. The plantains are also a must have.

Allie P

Blood orange margaritas are a must. Pair them with the queso fundido and chips and quac for appetizers . Crispy fish soft tacos and the soft carnitas were very tasty. The menu is great for sharing.

Gothamist

Adjacent to the restaurant is a DIY burrito shop, featuring a calorie salvo known as the Frito Pie Burrito , with ground beef , rice , beans, green chili queso , salsas , sour cream , and Fritos . Read more

Thrillist

Order the massive plate of nachos because they're topped with jalapeño , cheese , and chorizo that's spread out on a pan -- instead of piled up -- to maximize each chips toppings. Read more

Ms Helene

Nachos as an app between 2 was filling so finished off with the cured salmon , green apple and sour cream ceviche $13 & the lime marinated snapper $13. Classic margarita with agave and lime $11.

James Kiernan

Reliable Mexican fare and a fun vibrant environment. Prickly pear margarita ftw. Enjoy!

Karen

Amazing burrito bowls with way more options than you find most places. And sometimes they hand out snacks while you wait in line !

Rachel Stevenson

Everything is great! We have tried every taco option. If there's 2 of you, get the Tacos Al Carbon built for Two & start with the "bazooka" guacamole !! This is a great addition to Battery Park City !

Chris Konecny

It's all good but the grab and go breakfast burritos are the best I've had. They started doing a weekly special breakfast burrito as well . Hidden breakfast gem

Colleen Shea

The tacos for two are perfect for two people and so delicious! Order a side too and chips and guacamole obviously! The skinny Paloma marg is delish

Abhishek Pillai

Love the ambiance here. Good for groups and dates. Tacos are a bit small but delicious. The margs are solid too, especially the red pepper one.

Ira B

Amazing winter igloo set up. Perfect for the cold, corona virus winters. Make sure to make a reservation online to reserve one for a group of up to 6.

Wilson Zhou

This Philly favorite landed in Battery Park City last spring, bringing with it upscale takes on classic Mexican (tacos , enchiladas , ceviches ) and a few regional specials. Zagat

Vinny Diesel

Fantastic Stephen Starr restaurant , originating from Philadelphia. Launch is expected in June 2014. Expect many different types of guacamole .

NazIm Ünlü

Amazing tacos and service. Price is not cheap but worth it! Must try Avo nation cocktail

Matty Cito

Sometimes.es great spicy margaritas . Sometimes not so much. Pickled onions and jalapenos are dope. Tortillas very well done as well . Quality ingredients

Andrew C

Expensive AF... nachos were absolutely phenomenal and every chip had something melted onto it!!!! Rest of the food (enchiladas and various sides) were tasty and quite filling, but nachos were best

Lance Lacoff

Been to the philly one many times and the NYC spot did not disappoint! Excellent service , delicious blood orange margaritas and tacos . Recommended.

Aly H.

Red sangria : bland. Blood orange margarita : delicious, would definitely order again. Nachos w/ chorizo : amazing. Grilled fish tacos : salty, overpriced. Atmosphere was great! I'd give it another try

HB

Stopped in for some nachos after a bike ride to the GWB and back. Solid and the service was excellent. My husbands Eagle's cap scored us some freebies. We'll be back.

Abbie W

UD: The nachos have attained nirvana. They’re simple enough—cheese, beans, salsa , sour cream , onion , jalapeño and optional chorizo...special reinforced chips , designed to give you 100% nacho coverage.

Jenn Coughlin

The lunchtime burrito bar is the best - brown rice bowl with carnitas , queso , pico , kale , corn and pineapple salsa with quinoa crunch

Roxanna Flores

Delicious clAssic margarita (get the pitcher ), nachos and fish tacos were very good.

Chloe Karr

The blood orange margaritas are awesome and you won't be disappointed in the pork belly tacos (never thought watermelon pickles would go so well in a taco )

Arjun Ram

Nacho mama and margaritas !! Yumm

Michelle Wiles

Hot damnnn that chile relleno is good. The queso fundido ain't nothin to sneeze at either. Especially when you add on the habanero

Tom Wolfstein

Good margarita , well thought out (and huge) nachos dish. They also have an off menu guac dish that's pretty good.

TheBellaFiles Illyana

The oxtail enchiladas were everything I hoped for. I had a cocktail with mango and jalapeño and it rocked my world.

R

Really friendly service , kid friendly , and overall a welcomed addition to the 'hood! Food is solid if obviously a bit americanized.

Andrea Hong

Cucumber mint cocktail was delish and refreshing - and crispy mahi mahi tacos were packed with flavor. Finish with some churros !

Andrew D.

First time here: teething trouble at the bar . Fifth time here and bar service is like pulling teeth! Nachos are great but, you'll pay a price in patience!

Jayson Phillips

Mezcal cocktails & the shareable taco station are great. Staff was chill and vibe was cool. I'd go back again.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Love this place. Great margaritas and good food.

Lyndsey M

The lunchtime burrito offering is a grown-up take on Dos Toros or Chipotle. Try the toasted pumpkin seeds .

Brian Toth

Big portions , great mexican, best HUGE nachos , and... Right next to theater ! New fave place

Holly Moore

Really great nachos which they serve on a pizza pan, thus creating more surface area for yummy toppings! Genius!

TenantKing.com

There's a general consensus that this place has some of the best nachos in NYC so definitely don't miss those!

Joe Rizk

grilled fish tacos and the raw tuna tostadas are great. serious tequila / anejo list.

Ashley Rose

The nacho 's look like a pizza ! But if you're planning on sharing them with just one other person- don't bother ordering an entree.

Laurie Denness

Get the tacos for two.. served a bit like fajitas , sizzling at the table and the steak was perfect.

Kate Furman

Pricy but good tacos , esp the Mahi Mahi and the pork belly .

naveen

for dinner (perhaps before a movie next door): a mezcal margarita and the pollo asado .

Suzanne Xie

Definitely get the nachos , corn and vanilla & mint ice cream . Wow.

aanwar

Brunch : Blue Cornbread Benedict!

Sasa Cvetojevic

We ordered Tacos for 2 persons, one with chicken and one with beef . Basically it was fahitas style - you get a tortilla and fill it yourself. It was great. Waitress was slow and not interested much.

Carmen Witherspoon

Don't forget to use the photo booth . And the pork belly tacos are delish

Sam Winnick

The food is very good here, especially the tacos !
