It's alright Mexican food. Nothing mind blowing. Just, you know…it was good. It was okay.
Nothing was really memorable about the place, it's just kind of forgotten in the memory of a trip to New York.
And it's not a bad thing, either. Don't get me wrong. The people were nice. The food from what I remember was good value….it just didn't….you know…"pop."
It wasn't an "OMG you have to try it" or like a "OMG keep away." It was just a….meh. It was a blue collar working dad: did its job and didn't make a fuss about it. Went to work and then went to sleep.
It was just an "I'm hungry" and then an "I'm full."
Anyway, the parillada was good, the guac was good with the chips, the chips came out freshly fried, and the bathrooms are downstairs.
The guacamole was good. I also ordered Tacos al Carbon and the steak was full of fat and chewy. I'll never order that here again. The kids liked the chicken quesadilla. It's quite expensive though. Too expensive for the quality of food received. Will not return.
Drove past this restaurant numerous time and finally got a chance to try this place. I really like the vibe there, very romantic yet grounded, not fancy nor super expensive.
I got to the restaurant around 10pm on a Monday night and there were still quite a few people there. That reassured me that this place was good! We were greeted warmly by our waiter and I had one of the best services I have gotten in the city.
The food was amazing. I ordered the Aguacate Relleno de Camaron (half avocado stuffed with shrimp) and it was unexpectedly good!
For dessert, we ordered a fried ice cream. I was so excited for it until I found out that the fried ice cream wasn't fried. It was just ice cream coated with cornflakes and coconut. But still, it looked very nice.
Other than the fake fried ice cream, I love this place!
Visited for lunch with my toddler and mother on Cinco de Mayo and lunch service was verrrrry slow. They have some really well priced lunch specials, but you would imagine that the service from sit down to paying your check would be less than an hour. Maybe they aren't used to such a large crowd coming in for lunch on a week day? but in all fairness they should have been prepared on Cinco de Mayo!
The strawberry frozen daiquiri for $10.00 was advertised as just that. I wasn't expecting tequila, but it definitely had some it it so I wonder if the waiter confused my order or what. My mother ordered the same drink, and it had it as well.
Tortilla chips and salsa were brought out promptly and were yummy. We ordered the lunch appetizer portion of guacamole, and it was great. Then the lonnnng wait for our food. I ordered the chicken taco and enchilada special for around $7.00 that includes rice and refried beans with melted cheese. Not the best mexican I have had, but far far from the worst. Nothing was really wrong with our visit besides the long waiting- and I would like to try the dinner menu out and maybe come here for a night out with some friends because the strawberry daiquiri with tequila still was pretty delicious.
The food is too bland and too over priced for my preference. I've tried a variety of different dishes to make this statement and I've been here too many times than I would have liked. My Dad absolutely loves this place though and always brings the family over here when he's in a Mexican mood. The food just doesn't cut it but I do enjoy watching them make the guacamole table side. However, do yourself the favor and order the sangria it makes up for the bland food you probably won't be eating much of.
It's been forever since I've come here , stopped by during the week since I happen to be in the area.
Walked in no problem being seated once seated we started with some drinks Cadillac & Passion fruit margaritas.
Cadillac margarita was good , strong. The passion fruit had a nice taste also strong I don't remember the drinks being that strong before? Not a bad thing of course drinks were great.
They start u off with a basket of Nachos & salsa not bad nachos were warm.
Appetizers we tried the Avocado stuffed with Shrimp , I gotta say this was delicious very good taste with a good amount of shrimp comes with crackers pretty good, good as well with the nachos.
Main dish I had the Steak Tacos al carbon skipped the rice & beans had it with a salad instead not bad steak had a nice flavor salad wasn't bad although I wasn't too crazy about the white dressing on it? Would be better with a simple vinaigrette.
My company had the Mix Fajitas decent amount of Steak , Chicken & Shrimp not bad at all.
As for the place Itself it's a pretty big open space, small bar area, decor is pretty simple nothing too crazy typical to a Mexican restaurant.
Service was good, prices are ok a bit high for the kind of food they serve since we didn't get anything complicated our meal was good.
My boyfriend and I came here to meet up with some friends. They have a sitting area and a bar area. We were by the bar area, which was super crowded due to a soccer game that was on.
I had a margarita and sampled some guacamole and both were very good.
I gave it three stars because the staff wasn't as friendly as I hoped they be. The bathrooms weren't the cleanest and the location was a bit awkward, located towards the front of the bar area and down a flight of stairs.
With so many other great options, not sure if I'll make it a point to return. Unless, I want a good drink and I'm already in the neighborhood.
Strrrrong drinks.
Zombie ($15.50) 151, light dark and gold rum, brandy, oj, pineapple juice. This cocktail is no joke – one does more than the trick. I would recommend babysitting this bad boy if you choose to even order it…and dont indulge in more then two – at MAX!
The food is pretty good. Solid choice if you are craving Mexican. I've tried the enchiladas, burritos, quesedillas and buffalo wings. What i like is that they bring chips and salsa to snack on. It seems like more and more restaurants omit the complementary appetizer that used to always exist.
The service at the bar is great. I've never sat down at a table to eat so i cant speak to the waitstaff service; however, the Mariachi play every once in a while and its loud. Loud and annoying. You have to wait until they stop to recollect any thoughts you might have had.
