"Manhattan's Best Mexican. Well, the internet reviews of this UWS Mexican dive all looked good so I finally decided to jump in. Glad I did. This Mexican food is way authentic and incredibly delicious, too! <br/ <br/ I have to admit, I just got take out the first time, but when I brought it home and ate it, it was the bombs! I downloaded a menu and called their . <br/ <br/ From what I'd read, it seemed like they might be slow so I called and ordered off the downloaded menu before I left. By the time I got in the car, picked up some beer at 95 Columbus and cruised up from 70 to 107, they had all my stuff waiting for me in a nice tidy bundle. 20 minutes. <br/ <br/ The carne enchilada taco was loaded with very tasty meat. I was quite satisfied, lots of cilantro and onion, too. The sope shell was kind of stale, but when you let the juices flow into it, these sopes are great beneath their meat, romaine and crema toppings. The carnitas on the sope could have been fried a little crisper though. Best of all however, was the torta. It was mega meat filled and had all of the ingredients that make a torta a torta! They also load on the mayo which is what I like and again, there is SO MUCH meat! I'll order a torta from here any day. <br/ <br/ Looked very crowded when I went there, but was fine for take out. On off hours it's really easy to snag a table. <br/ <br/ I've since been back many times for tacos, alambres, chilaquiles and many more excellent, authentic Mexican fare and I can quite confidently state this is the best Mexican in Manhattan and right here on the UWS to boot!"

"Small but clean. The server taking our order was a very nice girl. We ordered takeout, and it took about 20 minutes. We ordered pupusas and they came with no curtido or tomato sauce, even though I asked the server and she said pupusas always come with curtido and tomato sauce. We also ordered plantains as per the server's suggestion, and it wasn't included in the order. Too bad we found out about the missing items when we were ready to eat dinner. We called the restaurant right away and they asked us if we could go back to pick them up, but we said no way, we are already eating. They said they'd try to deliver it, but they were really busy. Well, after waiting for 15 minutes and having already finished dinner (except my daughter, who eats her pupusas only with curtido and tomato sauce), we decided to go to the restaurant for the missing items. It's only a few blocks from my house, so I walked with my daughter. In the meantime, the delivery guy from the restaurant arrived and he argued with my husband, who said sorry we don't need it anymore as my wife already went to pick them up. The guy said why we didn't call to cancel the delivery, we should have paid more attention to the order, and that it was our fault. My husband said it was theirs, as they are the ones who put the order together. He even threatened my husband! Too bad we won't be eating their food anymore. It tasted good."
