absolutely crazy good frozen coconut margaritas (ask for the spicy salt to rim your glass) -- really great food too. brunch is the best here. I regularly get elote, the brunch burger, the huevos diablos, or huevos rancheros. I recently saw they posted a photo of their chimichanga on IG and ZOMG it looked so good / I'm getting that next time I visit. short train ride away in the east village. you won't regret it!
