Good spot to get empanadas (the chicken is very tasty). Our group also loved their margaritas (they have a great selection of flavors). The service is a bit slow since the staff seem their drinking and having a good time. This spot seems like a hole in the wall compared to the newer trendier restaurants in the area but its worth checking out. They also serve a pretty good Michelada.
This review is solely on their drinks!!!
HH from noon to 7pm which serves you extremely cheap drinks. And im not talking about $5 well drinks. I'm talking abt well made cocktails: cosmo, margaritas, mojitos, martinis for $6. You can add flavor (they have a vast selection) for only a $1 more. I had a cosmo, guava mojito (my fav) and pineapple martini.
I did not eat here and don't think I would give this place a try in terms of food. They currently have a B grade displayed on their window which makes me a little nervous to actually try their food :/ I had no problem with the service here, the waiter was attentive and not rude as stated in previous reviews. I also enjoyed the seating nxt to the open window which is an ideal position for this nice weather.
Thankfully, after drinking we felt adventurous and somehow managed to wander to herald square and found a street fair (broadway bites). Perfect!! We got to have delicious drinks and got to eat at the fair.
If you're not high maintenance and are truly looking for a cheap yet tasteful, diverse HH then this can be a place to consider.
Bad food (poor quality, poor flavor) + bad alcohol (tastes like plastic bottle tequila) + bad service = 1 unhappy yelper.
I needed quick Mexican and margaritas, this place appeared in front of of me and delivered. I got the vegetarian fajitas and they were yummy, I even ate most of the mushrooms and I do not like mushrooms, the seasoning was great. Hubby got meat fajitas and we split guacamole to start. Service was OK, definitely not friendly but OK, although we did have to flag someone down a couple of times. Kind of weird thing is that they don't give you an extra plate for the fajitas so it is a bit complicated to have to put them together. Margaritas were very tasty. All in all very solid and I would go back. Also fun decor!
This place.
Aside from Chelsea Market, I know that the Chelsea area isn't really known for their Mexican cuisine… but I was hungry and this was conveniently close to me and my friend at the time. There was a solid crowd when we walked in and although we missed happy hour, their deals for their tacos were solid. And we were craving some good guac.
For about $13, you can get 3 tacos (with a pretty wide variety of fillings) rice and black beans. Not bad! Together my friend and I ordered a nice sized guac with our taco entrees. To start, the salsa was super smoky. Not sure what their method is but it was certainly different! Not bad, just not what I'm used to in Mexican establishments. The guac was pretty delicious – fresh and flavorful. As for the tacos, I was disappointed. I had the Carne Asada and the meat wasn't flavored OR cooked well.
All comments on the food aside, the service is really what warranted this rating. Our server was rude and barely even acknowledged me. He gave us an attitude/tone when we had questions about the menu. I definitely didn't feel welcomed. But that was kind of our only option at the time and we decided to stay despite his demeanor. You live, you learn I guess.
A group of my friends and I stopped by after a screening to grab some drinks. The cocktail menu is affordable ($11 – $13) and there is a huge variety of margaritas to choose from. Two of my lady friends had the spicy margarita which was infused with jalapenos. They said it was delicious! Another friend had a mojito and she enjoyed it as well. IIII had the small personal pitcher (soo cute) of delicious sangria. I LOVE me some sangria and this batch was spot on! They gave us some chips and salsa to pick out as we ate. Which was excellent, because I was getting tipsy way too fast. We decided to order the nachos. The nachos were decent. They weren't out of this world delicious. They were mediocre at best. The servers were really nice, but there was only one bartender who was responsible for making all the drinks. I had to sit and wait for him to make all these complicated drinks before I received my sangria. But it was well worth the wait. The restaurant is sort of small. Our entire group filled the bar area. I was satisfied.
This place looks like a funny joke before you've even had a drink. It's festive, a little over the top, and just right for a catch up with an old friend. Service was slightly spotty but the drinks were big and strong (you could fairly call them a 2 for 1), excellent ceviche, and chips and salsa for days. The booths are cozy or if you prefer the outdoor seating, prime people watching on this corner. Stop by and join the party!
Thursday night marks the end of a gruesome work week and to wash out the pain with a party of two we specifically went to Salsa Y Salsa to imbibe on drinks.

One drink each totals $25.00 + sales tax which was already after 8pm thus missing Happy Hour. Service is somewhat attentive. Restaurant is small and I do not recommend it for large groups. One tiny unisex facility exist in the very rear where the sink house exposed pipes.
