This tiny taco joint that takes no reservations has been garnering rave reviews from novice nibblers and famed foodies alike. The tacos are served in a clean space that is somewhat inundated with Mexican wrestling paraphernalia such as figurines and posters. The lime green walls add brightness. The restaurant seats about 22 people excluding the bar. In addition to lunch and dinner, brunch is available on weekends. The service is quick and efficient. Without a wait, your order will be ready in mere minutes for you to devour.
The menu offers starters, sides, corn tacos, larger plates, and a few desserts. The high point of the food at Cascabel is the use of only fresh ingredients. It’s fitting that each table is equipped with four types of salsas and hot sauces as the tacos would benefit from more seasoning. You can enjoy refreshing beer, wine, and agua fresca with your tacos.
The prices here are very reasonable, $7.50 for 2 tacos. However, for some people, the two small tacos may not be filling enough to comprise an entire meal.
Although there is better Mexican food to be found on the Upper East Side, namely at Taco Taco, Cascabel is a convenient place to stop for a quick meal. Dining here is proof that you can eat cheap on the Upper East Side.
