Hands down, one of the best veggie burritos I've had. (this review is mainly on the burrito)
Now, that may sound silly, but trust me, I've been to a lot of places where they have messed up a veggie burrito, or it's just your standard tortilla with beans, cheese, rice, and some grilled veggies. That gets boring.
Mexicue's veggie burrito hits it home with an amazing flavor profile and has the right balance of crunchy, salty, and spicy. Their house slaw, chipotle sauce, and corn salsa work fantastically together, and they give the rice and beans a nice balance. There's a little crispy arugula and the corn has this crunch that lets you know it's fresh. I got jalapenos on the side and put them on to give this burrito some extra kick. Albeit, it was a bit dry, but their two hot sauces – homemade sauce in the red bottle and another smaller green sauce they gave me in a bowl, were both very good. The sauce in the red bottle has a smoky taste to it, which I enjoyed.
My roommate and I sat at the bar for dinner last night and the bartender was a very nice guy. I ordered the spicy margarita and asked him to make it as spicy as he could, and he definitely did that. It was probably the spiciest margarita I've ever had…made my eyes water a bit and clear my sinuses – but I asked for it. However, it still tasted great.
The ambiance is really nice, with an open floor concept and wooden tables/walls. The bar is super nice and contemporary, and they don't have TVs.
The only knock would be their Mexican street corn – I wasn't a big fan. It's a small cob with really small kernels of corn, and they had the cheese, but there wasn't much else to it…no additional spices/flavors/etc. Also, if you're charging me $5, I'd expect a little more out of it.
Overall, a solid place. They don't have many vegetarian options, but as I mentioned, their burrito is fantastic.
I had the kale bowl which came with arugula, pepitas, Pico de gallo, sprouts, a sprinkle of cheese, and beams and added smoked chicken for $3, for a total of $13.
I really enjoyed the meal. It was prepared fast, was filling and I have half a bowl left over. I think the next time I'll get it without the beans.
The service as I mentioned was fast, and everyone was friendly.
Ever since I moved to NYC I have visited several Mexican restaurants as Mexican food is my absolute fave! In doing so, I always order queso and surprisingly the servers usually always reply "what?" or "no, we don't have queso…"
Well Mexicue did not let me down and it was delicious. The place is big and very welcoming. They also have $5 margaritas during happy hour which are not watered/or juiced down like you may find at other happy hours… They are actually pretty sneaky! I have also tried their tacos which I heard used to be $2?! (bring this back please).
Overall great place and if anything, come and try a margarita! or the pricey but delicious grapefruit paloma.
Simply the best Mexican fusion place I have ever tried. Seriously skilled chef Manning the grill at this place. There is a wide variety of different priced and different dishes to make even the most discerning critic's mouth water.
I highly recommend this place if you are ever near the flat iron district.
Not bad. The food overall is a bit salty, but presentation is nice and a chill vibe throughout the restaurant. Spicy drinks are pretty good too. Nice selection of drinks. Good place for after-work drinks!
Came here today during SantaCon. My friends and I had no problem getting in. This place is very big, with lots of seating. The service was slow though. But maybe because of SantaCon, they were not prepared for the amount of people coming in. For my budget, I considered this place to be expensive. My friends ordered the chicken burrito, which was one of the few cheapest food. It was $9.75, and while the burrito was big, it didn't come with anything else. Just a small side of lettuces and tomatoes. That's steep price for a burrito. The nacho which is $9, they charge an additional $4 just for the chili to be added to the nachos. However while this place is expensive, my friends said the food was good. They enjoyed it. They also said the drinks were strong so worth the price. If I am ever in the mood to splurge on delicious good, I'll visit this place. For now, my broke self cannot afford to eat here. Definitely a nice place for a date. And the fact that they allow "Santas" inside, shows how friendly they are.
This place was a such a great find! After hitting up 24hour fitness next door, my husband pointed out this spot. The place looked pretty new, really clean, and had a pleasant ambience. The host and server were welcoming and really chill. We wanted something light after our workout so we went with the shrimp tacos chips and salsa. We also tried the Bloody Mary and Bloody Maria which tasted great and had a good amount of alcohol in them. Small glass for 5 bucks. We asked about weekday happy hours and they have $5 margaritas, $3 tecates, and $2 fireball shots. yeah.. new gem. Def coming back!
I been to this place twice for lunch and it has been a good idea both times. For going around lunch time i can say the wait hasn't been bad. The staff is friendly and check up on you often. I have tried the guacamole both mild and spicy and they are both delicious and most say not spicy at all for me. The corn and carnitas tacos are also a great choice. Everything was great I will definitely be back.
