Truly loved this place. Waiter was awesome. Met the manager very down to earth. Great food, great drinks. Everything was on point. Atmosphere was incredible. Definitely a place to check out if you are ever in New York.
Well the place looks great!! We choose Bodega Negra to celebrate our anniversary with my sons and my son’s girlfriend!! My reservation was for 9:15 !!! It is 10:15 and we still waiting??? � I hope the food is good!! The manager is been nice , gave us free drinks but I don’t think it is enough for the waiting time!! They literary ruined my anniversary � (edited) I have to edited my review!! After an hour waiting and and even though I was angry the manager was great and had a great attitude!!! He gave us free drinks and appetizers, when we got a table the waitress was super nice and she did everything possible so we can enjoy our dinner. Erick gave us the most delicious desserts I ever tried!! On top of that we got a champagne bottle to celebrate our 29th anniversary. Thank you Erick!!! Thank you all!! �

Went there last night for my husbands birthfay. The quesadilla and corn will forever have our hearts. As will the ribs and scorpion drink. The service was amazing - we had Lawrence and he was a gem. The mixologist who made the drink right in front of us at the table was super sweet and friendly. Ambiance is great and music is enough to keep you up yet allow you to chill. Adding to the list of favorites from here on out.
My second time at this place and I can tell you it won't be the last! My family and I love this spot. The menu is limited though the drinks are great, ambiance �, DJ is awesome too, and the best guac and chips ever! Can't wait to return!
Great atmosphere and food. It gets better and better later in the evening. They take some traditional Mexican dishes (real and texmex) and turn them on their heads to something creative. As for the drinks....awesome. Tasty, strong and creative. much more than just tequila and mezcal cocktails.
Amazing food, music and atmosphere! Listening to Outkast while enjoying the best enchiladas and grilled fish tacos!
My son made reservations for me for my birthday. Our reservations were honored and my waiter was very attentive. Great customer service and the food was delicious. The icing was the desert it was lit up and melted into an awesome chocolate molten.
The food and music was really good! The Quesadilla Rustica was amazing! I will definitely be going back ��
Johnathan our waiter was attentive and on point! Great food
One of my favorite restaurants in NYC. You must try their tasting menu, it is the bomb.
Amazing food, and the staff is so friendly and kind which normally you do not see in New York

Great food & lively atmosphere. I came for a birthday party and had a great time with friends.
The food lived up to the reviews and presentation was nice. I would say the menu is a bit pricey for some items especially the
pitchers of sangria and the cost per glass.
But if you go out to a restaurant downtown you're usually going to pay a bit more.
Portions look small but are very filling. I would come back for more tacos with a side of the guacamole. The steak tacos were my favorite. So tasty and full of flavor. It was delicious!
Great experience in my opinion.
Came here before going out and I'm really glad I did! The food was so good. I really loved the pizza. The salad was really good as well. I also really enjoyed the black beans and the green rice. The service was really great as well and I went with about 10 people! Servers were very attentive! Would love to come back here again!

Cool vibes but I totally recommend going on one of their event nights for music and dancing (like Monday’s or Thursdays). Loved their Don Huevo dessert but the dinner was pretty average for the price point. Good drinks, fun neighborhood — new shrimp tacos were the highlight
Oh my god every bit of food that entered my mouth made it water even more. Portions were great, taste and texture well balanced, and presentation was clean. Our servers were extremely attentive, asked about our allergies, and pointed out when dishes either contained a food that one of us could not eat or had it on the side. They paid even more attention to where they placed the dishes so as to not have a ton of meat in front of the vegetarians and peanuts in front of me. Everything came out in perfect timing. I enjoyed the dark, grungy ambiance as well. Will definitely be back!
Had a really great time here. Friday night music was fantastic and our waiter was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had a nut allergy in the group and he was great about mentioning what should be avoided or put on the side. We never felt rushed and the food and drinks were all delicious.
We had the chicken & chorizo fajita (meat was so tender), chicken tacos (tasty, but too small for the price), yuca fries (for a side this was a large portion), sweet plantains (hit the sweet spot). We also had the white dome lava cake dessert.
Went for Summer Restaurant Week 2019. The decor is beautiful. Our server was so polite and sweet. She explained the different menu items. We ordered the tacos. Surprisingly the veggie taco was great. We also enjoyed the pork. The chicken taco was too salty and the beef was lacking something. We ordered the Don Huevo additionally for aesthetic purposes. Overall great experience and service.
The short review: 100% recommended, won’t regret it at all.
There are so many great things about this place. I visit this restaurant during the restaurant week, starting with a happy hour margarita at the bar, very decent considering the price of it.
As soon as I got to my table, the ambience was so immersive surrounded by the dimmed lights and barrels on the walls. But the true experience came with the food.
Coming from a Latino culture, the dishes were mastered to almost perfection. Real Mexican blue corn flautas and queso fundido with chorizo we’re amazing, but the chicken tacos were the star of the show. For dessert, the tres leches cake was stunning and presentation can’t be better.
I will definitely come back to try the other options in the menu, and as I said, you won’t regret to spend a great date here with a club fresh atmosphere.
Ambiance is on a million!
Staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We requested the mirrored booth. Overall, great attentive service.
4-stars because their dishes are pricey- so I ordered two appetizers which were small portions but flavorful. The spicy rim drinks were poppin' too
We got the pork belly and the corn for appetizers and tacos for the entrees. Everything was good and cocktails were nice too. The scorpion cocktail has a nice show with it too. Do make reservations and they do take large groups too. We had a Good fun dinner experience. Will definitely go back.
AMAZING. The ambiance, staff, food and drinks were over the top. We celebrated our 13 wedding anniversary and Lawernce our server took good care of us. He was the best and Neil too. I'm definitely looking forward to going back.
A cool pricey Mexican restaurant next to the Maritime hotel. Interesting food menu for a Mexican restaurant. We had the appetizer tower which was plenty of food for 4 people. We weren't even hungry after that but we decided to try some entrees. Had the lobster and pork tacos. They were kind of boring but the Mac-n-cheese was good. Finally the white chocolate dessert was interesting as well.
They have a good selection of drinks and tequilas and the service was great.
Really enjoyed this place.
The food was great. Our favorite by far was the shrimp tacos. The lobsters tostada and the pork belly was very delicious as well. The drinks were awesome as well.
The decor is nice. Dim lighting perfect for an evening date. The staff is very attentive and service overall was excellent.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone that enjoys tacos but also wants a upscale experience to it.
Friday night really good music. This place has Excellent service! Upon Arrival wait time for a table was short and the food came quick. However I have to give this place 4 stars because although the food is good its overpriced and the menu doesnt have much variety. The Drinks are also good.
*The only thing holding me back from 5 stars are price + music*
This is a stellar spot. Every dish packed a flavorful punch: highly recommend the corn and crispy pork belly to start. The duck tacos were also incredible. The seared tuna felt a little lack-luster, but this also might have been by comparison to our other dishes. Loved the churros and espresso tequila dessert shot.
We chose this place for my birthday celebration, and it did not disappoint me. The ambiance was really great. The food is top quality, small portions though. Don't forget to try their desserts. Variety of performers kept crowed entertained. The music was great too.

One of the Best Mexican Restaurants in New York City!
Located in the Dream Downtown Hotel - immediately upon entering Bodega Negra, we noticed that the decor was so chic! The lights are dim, they have a disco ball, boom boxes on the wall, and gorgeous decorations. It’s a very intimate setting.
The staff was so nice and seated us to a beautiful corner booth. We ordered drinks - a mojito and the Smoking Scorpion. I’m a big fan of scotch and this drink was excellent! It has Glenmorangie aged 10 years and the cool part is the flaming smoked Sea Salt. The manager brings it out for a wonderful presentation. The drink - WOW. It went down so smooth and I would come back just to have it again! I would definitely recommend getting it even if you don’t like scotch! They’ve mastered this drink. It was only $19 too which was surprising for everything that went into it and the presentation.
For the food, we got chips with guacamole, the Mixta Salad and Fajitas. All were excellent! The red wine vinaigrette on the salad was the perfect touch and this salad was a nice portion size for only $12.
Too many Mexican restaurants I’ve tried in the city struggle to make an awesome Guacamole. Bodega Negra’s medium Guac was unreal. So fresh, tasty, and just the right touch of spice at the end.
We didn’t get the tacos but they looked so good too!
I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back again!
I have no words to describe how amazing the food was. Drinks were great, nice vibe, music, fast service, and didnt have to make a reservation.
Highly recommended for any occasion.
The desert is a must. Main courses are expensive, so i recommend you get a couple appetizers that will get you full enough to not even want a dessert.
But then again, leave some space for their delicious and famous desert.
