Very tasty gourmet tacos and an amazing cocktail menu. And their tacos, they're FAT. They double wrap a pile a of meat in a standard, street taco-sized corn tortilla, but everything stays together really well and is pretty easy to eat (just a little messy). My favorite taco was surprisingly the carne asada, it was bursting with flavor. I'm not very enthusiastic about carne asada tacos generally, but theirs is probably one of the best I've had. They don't chop the asada into fine pieces like a normal carne asada taco, they give you a few thick slices instead.
I really liked the habanero salsa on their pork belly tacos - very tasty and spicy. The pork belly was a bit dry though. I also really liked the shrimp tacos, very tasty and refreshing. Where we ran into an issue was with the birria tacos. Many of us got the birria tacos and all of us were spitting out chunks of fat. They also give you probably the saddest little bowl of consume you'll probably ever see to go alongside of it. The bowl of consume is so small, you can't even fit the taco in it to dip it in, and the bowl is half full on top of that.
A big component of the Ni Tuyo experience is the cocktails. They have a really extensive cocktail menu where everything looks good. The menu is so tempting, it's hard to not try to run the gauntlet. The strength of the drinks I'd say is medium, so you won't need to be carried out of there if you do try a couple.
It's very lively spot when it gets busy and the decor on the walls is very nice, which makes for nice ambience. The service is good but could be better. Mainly, I think they're really stingy with the napkins. When my hands were dripping after eating the tacos, I asked for more napkins and they literally just have me a single napkin instead of the pile I required. For a place like this, I also think their appetizer program could be stronger. We did the salsa trio, but only the standard red salsa stood out. And the queso was nothing special. The only other thing that I really saw stand out was the ceviche.
Nevertheless, I do see myself returning to try more of their cocktails and give their recommend molcajetes a shot. I don't think you should expect anything you get here to absolutely blow you away, but they do set you up for a nice meal. Also, it's not cheap here so do keep that in mind.
