Krista: Egg sope is delicious
Dina Rughani: Really wonderful brunch. Try the duck enmoladas, the tostada, and the chilaquiles:) the sope and nopales salad are also very nice.
Eileen: Came for brunch. Husk meringue is a must try, really interesting blend of textures and flavors. Lamb barbacoa is huge and can easily feed 4 people. Egg sope was good. Enfrijolada was too salty
Jesse Roehrich: It's BYOB, and the tinga (chicken) sopas are amazing!!
MixedBunny: The sopes are flavorful and authentic. My favorite is the beef although the plain is just as good. The guacamole is a must have!
Ms. Dee Bell: No longer BYOB so order up! Skip the tortilla sopa. Guacamole is very fresh! Opt for a wet burrito since the regular tends to be on the dry side. Last time I went it smelled of bug spray but has an A.

Daniel Perez: Get the sopes and the enchiladas. They also make their horchata in the restaurant
Ash Ponders: Mexican comfort foods, staring crema, cotija, and nopales. The Horchata here is a lovely take on the silky style, lightly spiced. Hell yeah!
David Blackman: The cemitas are like if Mexico and a greasy spoon diner had a baby and put it on a bun. To be eaten. So good.

David Ziegler: perfect remedy for a cold day, their sopa azteca!
Tules Yegin: I think it's been 7 years now and this is still my favorite Mexican food spot. Mole is out of this world and the sopa is a hangover cure.
Paul S.: Barrio Chino is an institution on LES. I love this restaurant which has been there for 20 years! The staff is amazing. Food terrific (guac, drinks, so good) and a favorite spot to hang. Go!

Russell Hirschorn: All the tacos are great, short rib quesadilla very good, sopa good, 3 salsas, service and seating not good. Intercom didnt work so they did nothing... very slow. Horchata not good.
ᴡ Elliot: Go for the breakfast burrito and a homemade horchata. We stopped in after a long run, made for a perfect Sunday.
Amanda Ho: Can't go wrong with carne asada quesadilla. Very cheesy with sautéed mushrooms and onions.

Nina Yiamsamatha: Try the sopa de pollo if you're in need of some good, homemade chicken soup.
DoubleDeuce: I'm disappointed that of all of the great Puerto Rican coffees, they make their espresso with Café Bustelo. But this is probably the best comfort food served in a friendly atmosphere around.
Food Network: Aaron Sanchez, of Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate, had one of his best holiday meals at the Latin American restaurant, Casa Adela. We recommend the Pernil. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more.

Noah Xifr: Sopa de pollo - absolutely LUV IT if u hava cold. Their chicken is the best and they use batata, not potato, for a slightly sweeter nice texture.
Girl Gone Travel: Best known for roasted chicken, try their pork "mofongo" (mashed plantains with fried pork bits), or have breakfast and have the mangu (also mashed plantains for breakfast with side of friend cheese! Read more.
David Berkowitz: Try the tres leches - This tres leches cake is so good, you'll swear there are seis leches in it. Really, leave room for dessert, or just skip dinner entirely and get this.
