This impossibly cramped, low-ceilinged hole-in-the-wall draws Mexican-cuisine-loving locals of all sorts, from Northeast neighborhood retirees to Mississippi hipsters and dudes with Rastafari dreads. Kitschy antique wall mirrors, coke bottl vases, and mix-and-match tables and chairs make up the eclectic decor. But it's the kitchen's authentic Oaxacan cuisine--handmade tortillas, juicy carnitas, and fresh ceviche--not the oddball scene that convinces clientele to brave this shack's constant crowds again and again.

I try to go as often as I cn

by mmmmlattes

This place is awesome. My wife and I usually get out of there completely full and $20 poorer. Get the chips and salsa. 3 tacos is around $9.00 and is enough food to fill you up and make you happy, very happy.

I was pretty amazed to see the few bad reviews for this place...some people are just needy or angry and there isn't a whole lot you can do for them.

  • Pros: delicious, cheap
  • Cons: sometimes a long line but it goes with the terriotry

Yummy, yummy, yummy

by owl314

The fact that this is near my house makes it a bi-weekly stop for me. I can't get enough of it. The Brian's Bowl with grilled chicken is a must. And try the cucumber slices with guacamole. It's amazing. Yes, there's normally a line, but it's well worth the wait. Oh! I almost forgot... they do fresh juices that can be added to their margarita... DELICIOUS! The carrot-passion fruit is my favorite. :)

  • Pros: best food
  • Cons: long line
