Hell’s Kitchen
“Too bad I won't be back to the city anytime soon or else I would be stopping in specifically for the brussels sprout tacos.”
“The first night my friend and I split the cheeseburger tacos- it comes with burger and french fries on it, aka HEAVEN, and the chicken quesadilla which was so good we got it the next night also.”
“The pineapple Guac was the best in the trio but all 3 were delicious and fresh.”

I love it because there wasn't a huge line… The food is awesome quality … Got some chicken quesadilla and went lite on the cheese … A+
My friend Hollis says the Burrito is AHHH-Mazeing … And Sabie says the fajita is great. So… Looks like you have 3 winners!
Check out the restrooms in the back for some sick artwork on the walls.
Come here for apps and drinks. There's a wide selection of drinks and beers on tap. Get the trio of guacamole to start.
The bartenders and servers here are a delight, and I hope it stays that way.
You can come here with one person and sit at the bar, or a small group and grab a booth. It's pretty loud and gets louder as drinks are flowin', but overall it's casual and fun, a competes a bit with arriba arriba next door.
Try!
Margaritas the size of my face? And they're strong? I couldn't believe it when my friend told me. So, I schlepped to 9th avenue to find out on the last of my belated birthday outings. Hell's Kitchen is the perfect destination for a date or a huge group, not because its dark interior is all moody and incognito, but for the fact that you'll be so lost in conversation, you won't notice how slowwwwww the service is. I made the mistake of actually being hungry when I arrived. Oops.
A million years later, with chips and water in front of us, our very sweet and adorably apologetic server arrived. It clearly was his first week; maybe even his first day. He even told us he was new. Of course, I had questions. Poor guy! We ordered and he staggered our choices of 2 guacamole – rojo and traditional, salmon ceviche (phenomenal) and tacos, tacos, tacos. Let me just say, whatever executive chef came up with the brussel sprout and cashew nut salsa taco should get an award. This was a STAR taco. I want to eat it every day. In fact, I want to recreate it at home and eat it everyday. STAR!!
With half my classic margarita gone along with the shot of mescal I ordered when I was starving and cranky, here appears our adorable server with a tiny cup of chocolate salted mousse and a lit candle. I almost wanted him to sing to me, which normally horrifies my ass to no end, but I wouldn't have cared thanks to my face-sized beverage. I blew out my last birthday candle tipsy and proud.
AWESOME HAPPY HOUR. $6 margaritas at the bar for Happy Hour, and once that ends, their regular priced $12 margaritas are huge and do not disappoint. The ambiance is fund and trendy, and there is ample and spacious bar, booth, and table seating, so it never feels overcrowded.
Great extensive menu. I was pleasantly surprised with how good their salads were. I had the Chopped Salad with roasted corn, mushrooms, roasted poblano chile, oven dried cherry tomato, mint, avocado and cashew-chipotle dressing. SO GOOD.
Hell's Kitchen was my dinner choice before a show and, based on the rave reviews, I had already set my eye on the Brussel Sprout Tacos. A chalkboard advert outside noted a Happy Hour special. It included a few different drinks, but I went with a Margarita ($5.5).
The Margarita?
It was HUGE and STRONG! Phew! I'm not really a drinker, but I was feeling quite tipsy after ONE.
complimentary chips/salsa
The salsa had very mild heat, but was wonderfully smoky.
Brussel Sprout Tacos ($9)
This was pretty darn good: the two tacos were loaded with grilled sprouts and had a slight heat/spice on the sprouts themselves. The orange sauce on the tacos was slightly smoky and had a very nice flavor. There was an accompanying green sauce (cilantro-lime-jalepeno?) that was good as well.
A (Hispanic) barback actually took care of me, but apparently there was a totally different (Caucasian) guy in charge of my check. I didn't have a second of contact with that guy until he put my check down in front of me. I wasn't asked if I wanted anything else, which was odd, because I DID. I put another order in, and the awesome barback gave me a complimentary drink – Devil's Nightcap – with habañero and Limón. It was definitely something I wouldn't have ordered myself, but it was very tasty! What a nice guy: it was very much appreciated!
In all, it was a tasty dinner and I would go back if I was visiting the Hell's Kitchen area again!
DUDE. GUAC & CHIPS. SANGRIA. SLOPPY JOES TACOS. That is all I can say. & during happy hour. Being a tourist in NY, you need to come here and eat and drink. They have the best guac in town (in my opinion). We stumbled upon it walking down 9th ave after barcelona bar and it caught our eye. We were hungry and wanted something small and it was during happy hour. It was kind of busy, we had to stand for quite a while since the bar was all filled up, but ended up getting some free shots of tekillya because of the long wait for a seat. One seat opened but and my friend and I shared the seat. The food was honestly amazing. I want to come back if I end up coming back to NY another time. I would love to try other things on their menu. But happy hour is the way to go!
This place is great! They have these MASSIVE slushy margaritas which are potent and also the most delicious banana drink (I think its a martini?) with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I went on a Friday night, and I was pleased with the crowd and how comfortable the area is.
Carlos the bar tender is GREAT – made great drinks and made great conversation even though my group was a little rowdy. Always kept an eye on us. This place is fun and comfortable and not over the top – would definitely come back here!
Another stumble upon and another success. The food was so good, my friend and I took a group of our friends the very next night after we found it. Small bar area, good amount of restaurant seating and AMAZING food. The margaritas are also massive and very good. The first night my friend and I split the cheeseburger tacos- it comes with burger and french fries on it, aka HEAVEN, and the chicken quesadilla which was so good we got it the next night also. Ive been there 3 times and everytime they have large groups so definitley accomodating and everyone was really pleased- definitley a must.
