“You have to try this place in Manhattan, good vibe, excellent service (Diego was awesome with us); the patty burger was really 👌 🙌, the rice with caraotas (beans), cheese and pico ohhh my god!!! Cold beer very important (Happy Hour)! 100% recommend!”
“The food was. Got the beef quesadillas and was satisfied. I wish there were burritos on the menu but still enjoyed it. Good place to bring a friend, a date for late night meal or a group of 4/6 to be seared in the back. Smaller than the downtown location so would recommend reservation in that case. Seating and atmosphere is very cozy. 👍🏽”
“This place always is a great stop! I love how much outdoor seating they have, especially on a nice summer day it's wonderful to sit outside and sip margaritas with some guac! I recommend the spicy jalapeño margarita for drinks, it does have a nice kick! Go with a pitcher if there are 4 of you or more, def worth it. I love their queso flameado, top it with mushrooms and it's a great combo - almost feels like you're eating a quesadilla :) Overall: Good guac, great steak and shrimp tacos, love the mushroom add on option to anything! Wish they had a better wait system, on busy nights it would be nice to leave my phone numbers / have an app to let us know when our table is ready. Right now it's all done via a list so you have to stand and wait.”
“Blah, went for lunch and everything was ok. NYC prices but doesn't deliver. No chips and salsa ok... so ordered guacamole which was made a while back cause it was very cold and was prob sitting in fridge. Cold chips that need salt. We tried a few different quesadillas that were all good with different flavors but really nothing special for what you pay! The mushroom was the winner! To many other mexican restaurants within 10 blocks to ever return here.”
“We went for lunch. The chips and salsa were very basic. The quesadilla with mushrooms was something you really couldn’t eat. We ordered something else, like tacos (beef, chicken), and my daughter couldn’t even bite. The prices are NYC prices—they charge you a lot—but I’ve never seen such bad quality at such a high-priced Mexican place.”
