The pulled pork and pineapple tacos were really good. The staff was friendly as well . I recommend this place as a great spot to meet up with friends.

Cantina Taqueria & Tequila Bar

The best Mexican restaurant in Harlem . M-F Happy hr 4-7pm starring $2 tacos and $4 margaritas . Ladies Night every Wednesday 4pm-close. Brunch specials Sat/Sun including bottomless margaritas , mimosas .

Nakisha

SUPER cute new neighborhood bar ! Good prices. The fish and pulled pork tacos ($7/2) + guac ($4) were *amazing*. Drinks ($9) were good but tell them what kind of tequila . The house stuff was harsh.

Megan Baker

The taco sampler is the best deal here - $25 for 8 tacos / 4 varieties. Guacamole is expensive , and the space is cramped and loud , but the lobster , siracha shrimp , and tofu&mushroom tacos are worth it

Especially great happy hour and brunch specials . Great atmosphere and staff is awesome, and welcoming. Great normal restaurant in Harlem .

I came here on 'Turn up Tuesdays' with DJ Chaka spinning . Great music ! The guacamole was fantastic - they made it fresh with no tomatoes to accommodate my sister's allergy. I'll definitely be back!

Harlem Ambassador

Now a bonafide destination, hidden below street level is a new 60's style bungalow meets the hood, with a hand carved tequila bar & margarita menu to boot. Calling it a tacqueria is an injustice. Wow!

Alexandra Maesen

I can't comment on the atmosphere, but I ordered from them through Seamless when they just opened, and my tacos were really good! Especially the ones with tuna . Mmm. I keep ordering! :)

Erika Nonken

I can't rave enough: fantastic 'rita's and tacos , super cheap happy hour , fun crowd of mixed races and ages, friendly staff , great music . Very crowded and loud , but in a fun way.

Great Experience! Try the egg scramble bowls! Any meat choice. Brunch is a must!

Living across the street, trust that I can say this is a godsend. The happy hour (4-7) is solid & the service is excellent, even when the hood rushes them at 6:53pm. Get the fish tacos ; all of them!

MayHem and Madness

Great menu choices ... can't go wrong here and if something is wrong, they're attentive enough to change it. The tortilla bowl is my personal favorite. With chicken .

DeDe Sullivan

One of my favorite places in the nabe, and they just opened on FDB. The place is banging. The drinks and food are amazing!

The salsa with the free chips was bangin', and the chicken burrito was tasty and filling.

Lobster tacos here were amazing! And the margaritas worked very well ...Nice rustic ambiance

Great tacos and drinks but there's been a change in staff so the service isn't that great anymore.

jasmine jefferson

Margaritas and Brisket tacos are bomb !

Sarah Zaid

Nice vibe, good happy hour prices but weird music (rock) being played in the evening...not really the right sound for a Mexican spot...the food was just meh...honestly was not impressed.

Reeves

Tequila and tacos are always the best

Bas

Really disappointing seating service. Host says 30 minute waiting time. After 20 minutes - waitlist.me -shows next up. 70 min later still no table for party of 4. Couples of 2 serviced just fine 👎🏽

Leighann Colin

Cheap happy hour but the margs are just alright and the tacos are fine but nothing to write home about.

Moumin Ghanem

Drink Tequila the right way. Sip on Riazul Tequila .

Jane Novacane

FISH TACOS R BOMB

Ron Allen

Tacos . Guacamole is OK.

Carmen Witherspoon

I tried the fish , pork and chicken tacos . Fish and pork were the best. The chicken had some weird tomato paste. meh...The margaritas needed some fine tuning also, hope they're better next time

Kristi Duarte

Food is not that good. A 4 out of 10. But ambience is cool. A good place for a drink.

Datrianna Meeks
