Alta Calidad

“Mexican spot that is featured on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list. The list features restaurants that serve good food for reasonable prices and Alta Calidad delivered. Must Try’s: Yuca Fries + Chipotle sauce - out of the park delicious and salty Alta Queso Fundido - probably the best thing we had. Make sure you order this. SO GOOD. Churros - do yourself a favor and leave some room for dessert Solid choices: Carne Asada Tacos - would be on my must but the price point for tacos feels a little criminal. Very good but damn almost $10 per taco is rough Pork Shoulder Carnitas - very good but again the other plates just put this to shame Leave it: Drinks - not a fan. Hot chocolate came out tepid and the mixed drink was just okay. Next time I’ll stick to water or coke Verdict - solid choice for Mexican, would recommend, not in a rush to come back NYC just has too many other places to try”

“Would highly recommend. Excellent food and service. They accommodated a kid request to simplify the tacos and a vegetarian request to make the queso meat-free. Margaritas were good. Tacos and short rib entree were great as was the rice and beans side. Portion sizes were perfect. Tres Leche dessert was delicious. The music wasn't too loud, so were were able to easily carry on a conversation. My only observation was that the music genre didn't really match the restaurant but that was hardly an issue. 5 stars!”

“I visited Alta Calidad while on the hunt for a Mexican spot during NY Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Snapper Tostaditas, Carne Asada, and Churros. My favorite of the bunch was the Carne Asada. I would order that again if I returned. The service was great. The waitress answered any questions we had and the drinks came out fast. This was great value for a price of $45 (because it was during restaurant week). The ambiance was great, with natural lighting and good music. I would recommend this place to someone looking for slightly upscale Mexican food.”

“We had a really good meal at this Mexican restaurant. We ordered chicken tacos, shrimp tacos, and a margarita, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The sauce on the tacos was absolutely delicious, adding the perfect touch to each bite. The presentation was neat, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-organized. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we especially enjoyed the music playing in the background, which added to the experience. If you’re looking for tasty food, a nice ambiance, and good music, this place is definitely worth a visit.”

“Taste-wise, the food was delicious, and the drinks were very good. The service was amazing, and I really like the location of this place. However, the portion sizes were quite small. If you’re coming here just to have a drink and a light bite, it’s perfect. But if you’re arriving hungry and expecting a full meal, even two plates might not be enough to fill you up.”
