Description
Founded by Cristina Castañeda, this Columbus Avenue spot carries a family restaurant legacy that has anchored the Upper West Side's Mexican dining scene since 1992. Steps from Central Park and Lincoln Center, the kitchen turns out burritos, tacos, comida corrida, and fresh chips served with a popular chipotle sauce. The room frequently gets very busy, but the staff keeps service moving quickly alongside a steady soundtrack of overhead music.
