This Mexican restaurant is a big spot for locals. Good crowd, The food is good full of Mexican delights. They have a happy hour for food. staff is friendly and skinny is always around, ask for Nicole!
The Tenant King team started to hang out on the streets of LIC to get to know the users better. We usually end our days here. We recommend the amazing guac , the mexican burger and Skinny's Margarita !
The steak quesadillas are so good! The meat was so tender and yummy. Tacos and other entrees are just okay. Generally a bit over-priced for what it is and how much they give you, but cute atmosphere.
I order from here because they deliver really quickly. They have an awesome Roasted Corn Salad with Chicken . The Jalapeno Vinaigrette is so tasty with the right amount of spicy kick .
An upside down mini bottle of Corona in a frozen margarita ? Yes! The Coronita is a legit good beer cocktail , aka a Mexican Bulldog.
Get the elote or guac with either fish tacos (broiled), steak , or beef barbacoa . Skip the dry burrito .
Food and service is great. really fun place. The menu keeps growing. And the margs are killer. No mix. Love it! We need more places like this in LIC
Try the Chicharones ! The pork is tender and juicy. The grilled Calamari App is cooked to perfection, their Guac is addictive and their refried red beans are Heaven. They had me at "Cantina"
The food is delicious. I definitely recommend the shrimp fajitas . Also, make sure to try the guacamole .
Nice outdoor seating near the waterfront , the waiter even brings out a small takeout container filled with water for your dog on hot days
They have a takeout window & the outdoor seating is ???? friendly when the weather is nice.
Great service great beer and good appetizers however some good portions were really small and the tacos are soft so fall apart really easily just a heads up.
I've been here more times than I can count. Skinny is the coolest owner and the vibe is always great.
Pork belly al pastor tacos are really good. The skinny margarita is really strong. Skip the fundido (it's okay) and save room for the tres leches .
Fish tacos and shrimp a la mexicana are fantastic. Awesome guacamole as well .

Can't wait until the bad review are off here. This place is awesome. Food is amazing. Service is great. You're missing out.
Veggie burrito has real stewed black beans ; highly recommended.
Good food, good service , great atmosphere! Will definitely go back! Delicious guacamole !
The brunch is great. Always get the extra spicy bloody Mary 's.
2 thumbs up for the avocado salad . Salsa is really tasty, too!! Best wait staff I've seen lately!!
Good eggs , bad potatoes , charge money for chips . The kind of place that has multiple tables for 10 people at lunch
Calamari and queso fundido are great appetizers to share.
Tres leches (pic) is beautiful but really bland and soggy. The Mexican Burger is ok. After several meals here, everything is just ok. Service is friendly though.
Tacos are great
Amazing Al Pastor Tacos and Sangritas! ????????
Plentiful outdoor seating that's dog friendly .
Good margaritas but Manhattan prices. Get the guacamole extra spicy .
Very dog friendly . Food was good. Decent al fresco dining.
Nice simple healthy choice Mexican Food in the Hood. The Quesedilla Chicken Tinga -- Yun

Great flavored margaritas . Very strong.
They have cactus !!! Try it - it's like a less flavorful roasted red pepper . Mmmmmm

2nd review, new cook? Better food, however 12 for 3 tacos ? Not bad but to be server in a plastic basket? With 13 drinks? Miss Match! Don't go to an Asian for Mexican! And vice versa! Go to Shi!!

Enchiladas! Mole, salsa Verde. So great. Go beyond the Guacamole, the other apps blew my mind. Tres Leche is king here - Darshy N
Pork tacos, tostados, tamales, and shakes are all cheap and delicious. - Gabriel Chung
When you are asked to choose a side dish, opt for the grilled veggies over the beans. Nice mix of well charred vegetables. Healthy and delicious - Rory Parness
