I had the best dinner at Covacha last night. The food, drinks and atmosphere are authentic Mexican with an upscale twist. It is the perfect location near the Natural History Museum and is a fun break from the dreary cold weather. I highly recommend!

I never come up to this part of the city but on a family museum trip I was looking for a Mexican place close to the museum of natural history for my dad. Covacha was a HIT. My parents were thrilled- the food was excellent, atmosphere wonderful, service great as well. Loved the fact that they had unique and authentic dishes, not your usual standard watered down Mexican for American tastes. Really impressed! Great job

This place was just amazing. We found it on the Michelin guide, and we were not disappointed! Our server was great, and the service in general was top notch. The food was also very tasty, particularly the empanadas. The vibes of this restaurant are also great; the bar is beautiful. I highly recommend this place!

We enjoyed Covacha! We waited about 15 mins for a table on a Sunday afternoon. Great flavors and speedy service.

Found from the Michelin app and was insane! Every mouthful was tasty and delicious! Tacos were really full and yum! Will definitely be back!

Loved the service and they were able to cater to allergies. Vegetarian/vegan food is limited.
The brussel sprouts were great and the cauliflower tacos were vegan!

Covacha is SO good, I came here for the first time several years ago while visiting New York and recently stumbled upon this place again this weekend on the Upper West Side!! We sat at the bar and the staff took great care of us. The cocktails are delicious, we did the house margarita and the Spicy Reaper (can confirm, the latter is hot). :-) The food here is great, too - I highly recommend the guacamole, Yaka-Tinga, and the Quesadilla Negra (+ the rice & beans are a great side). I will definitely be back, Covacha is a great UWS spot!

The place has a nice atmosphere. The service was attentive. We order 2 cocktails, agave mule and black dust. They were balance and tasty. The mule is my favorite. The guacamole ashes standout with rich flavor. The ceviche of the day was ok, I expected more citrus flavor but tasty sauce. And we order the pork belly mole dulce and was delicious.

The staff's attentiveness and knowledge of the menu added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. The culinary offerings were a delightful fusion of flavors and techniques, showcasing the chef's artistry. Each dish was a work of art, and the presentation was as impressive as the taste. This restaurant is a culinary treasure that I wholeheartedly recommend.
