This place is under looked ! Food is amazing, delicious! And fresh. The staff is nice and attentive. Q nice place for a family dinner/lunch. We had the burrito, guacamole and chips, carne azada all was very tasty and fresh. The drinks were also good. They had nice music playing and the tv with a soccer game on. The food is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to go back and try something different.

Back in high school around 2012, I was coming here so often to order tacos for takeout. Eventually, I stopped because as a 15 year old, I only have so much money available to be buying tacos so often lol. Last week, I came back to my favorite neighborhood taco spot And nothing has changed. The quality and savoriness of the tacos is still the same. I ordered a chorizo, lengua and Cecina taco and they were all delicious. You can just tell that this is a neighborhood spot. Besides me, everyone was there with their family having a nice weekend dinner chatting it up and enjoying the vibes. If you live in Sunset Park and ur looking for a taco restaurant to try, I would totally recommend giving this spot a chance

Good food at a great price. Had a dinner for two that was very filling plus drinks, and left for less than $40 after the tip. Definitely a great option on a budget.

Big fan of this place. Chicken torta sandwich is the best in the area. Large menu, outdoor seating.

I love this place. I've only ever gotten tacos and tortas, but every time it's delicious Lengua tacos for life!

What do you tell someone that speaks Spanish? If you "Tellcinco" then you just asked them for 5 of something. If you "Tellchinga" then you will either get beaten up, or made love to. I'm not sure which of these concepts led to the naming of this deli, but it's open to interpretation. What to get: Tacos. What else: Tellchinga. The tacos here were pretty standard. I had asada and pastor. They were nicely flavoured and enjoyable, and in a city with limited fantastic taco options, they may even have scored a 5, but I'm going to stick with a 4 for these ones. The reason they only score a 4 is pretty simple. The service here is awful. The woman ringing up my partner in crime treated her like she absolutely hated her. There was snarkiness, resentment and pissiness. I'm not sure why. Partly because she wasn't sure what she wanted. But nobody else was ordering at the time, so I'm not sure what the big deal was. In any case, due to the average food and horrendous service, I probably won't come back for a second try. However my rating is based purely on the food and it's a solid 4.

I realize that I'm updating this review yet again, but as the Dude said, "new shit has come to light". And that is their tacos arabes. It's not a popular dish, or even one that's talked about a lot at Mexican restaurants, but I really don't know why. Imagine a taco, but in a tortilla that has a bit more volume than a normal corn or flour tortilla. Then it's filled with spit-cooked/marinated ground lamb and a red mole sauce, and rolled up. Holy cow is it amazing. Their potato taquitos are also remarkably good, though a note to vegetarian diners, they have little bits of meat in there (which you absolutely do want if you're not a vegetarian, as they give the dish a bit of spice). I also ordered dessert for the first time, and was of course pleased with the results. They bake the cakes they serve on location. This is hands down, my favorite Mexican restaurant in New York.
