I can't get enough of the Catfish burrito . The guacamole is a delicious starter. Great sangria too. They don't have liquor so no margaritas but the amazing food makes up for that!

Jisu P

The jerk chicken soft tacos were delicious! Comes with a side of beans and rice . Definitely filling. Make sure to ask for jalepanos on the side to give the dish a bit of a kick!

Aarti Shenoy

Best place to have some Mexican grub in Syracuse, do try the tostada . Any of them. They're all good. Yes, they really are.

Katie Regan

Staff is super friendly ! They don't care how long you stay. Food was fantastic. I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo and spinach . Yum yum!! I could only eat a third of it!

Sarah

Great food! I love the catfish tacos/burrito and the tofu tostada . Service doesn't match up with how great the food is. Servers act as if they are doing us a favor by serving us. Arrogant and slow.

Lucas Primerano

Best downtown restaurant for sure! Love their lobster , catfish and tilapia tacos . Also enjoy the steamed spinach and quinoa with goat cheese and catfish strips.

Camille Francis

The cornbread and guacamole are the best that I've ever had at any Mexican restaurant . Their chipotle mayo is definitely a hidden gem .

Sarah

Jerk chicken or catfish burrito are both amazing. I don't think I've ever had something I didn't like here. WINE ? Amber hill is the cheapest red on the menu and very tasty! Try it!

Mike French

Everything I had was delicious. Wild salmon entree=amazing! Subbed rice/beans for veggies and was quite pleasantly surprised. Also - chips/guac/salsa super fresh

Megan Steinberg

Sit at the bar and make Frieda with the awesome bartenders ! While you're at it, try the Mexican Pizza and an Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout if they happen to have it on tap . :)

If you're craving some Mexican food that isn't Chipotle, take a trip down to Alto Cinco. It's near the Westcott Theater so you can stop before or after a performance !

Nicole

They fry their chips in peanut oil , but 2 people with severe nut allergies were able to dine safely! Quesadillas are well-prepared and food-coma-inducing.

Zack Franciose

Great beer on tap (always rotating too). Great food. Great staff . Vegetarian or not if you're in the Cuse you gotta try the high five.

Mike Smith

Most underrated breakfast place on the hill . The hash browns are amazing. Make sure you ask for chipotle mayo on everything you order

Chris Blasting

Some of the best Mexican I've ever had. My favorite chile rellenos anywhere!

Joe Whelan

Great beer selection . Nachos are great munchy food. Catfish burrito is the staple. Cornbread will make you wanna sew your ass shut.

Kusum Saini

Awesome food and service !! Loved the Mexican pizza . . It's hot and spicy .. so delicious !! Also the bbq burrito was delectable !!

Ray Foss

With the Super Vegan , the BBQ tofu and the Angelito burrito , you can't go wrong. Their breakfast scrambled tofu is one of the best options around.

Patty A.

The breakfast sandwich is awesome! I've had the chorizo , turkey chorizo and the veggie versions and they are all wonderful.

Shannon McCook

A favorite when I visit Syracuse with @mike. The chipotle burrito w tofu is the best I've ever had. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Alyssa Henry Gonzalez

Amazing quac & chips , and I love the chicken enchiladas . It's small inside, but food & atmosphere is great!

Marcie

My favorite is the Fiesta Salad . The atmosphere is energetic yet relaxing.

Joe Whelan

Just added beef to the menu. The beef burrito with chipotle mayo was unreal and I've been places.

Pritika Sawant

Try the jerk shrimp salad for people watching their diets! Mexican pizza is my ultimate fav!

Anthony Rotolo

Some of the best Mexican food in the area, but if you're ordering delivery you'd think it's actually coming from Mexico -- so slow.

Earl Belcher Jr

All the recommendations I had to try this place were dead on. Fantastic food. Monster burritos . Great catfish side.

B

Shrimp quesadillas and guacamole . Great wine and beer list .

Brian Stookal

Cali burrito with chicken is awesome. Dining room was packed but we were able to sit up front right away. Love this place!

The Paella was absolutely divine. Big enough for two, or great for leftovers.
