Great food and drinks with a fun atmosphere.
Highly recommend the 7 salsas as an app and the spicy cucumber marg as drink. Even if you don’t like spicy cocktails, the spice is only in the rimmed salt so you can make it as spicy as you want.
Pretty small menu mostly tacos but we enjoyed the fish an
I’d probably give this place a 3.5 stars if I could. I dig the concept - high quality tacos in a great atmosphere - and everything I had was reasonably executed. I just guess at this price point I was expecting more in terms of creativity in their tacos. It’s a fairly short list and pretty standard
2 of us shared, in order of liking from most to least, the special tacos (with wrapped bacon), shrimp tacos, and lamb tacos. The special tacos were uniquely interesting, shrimp tacos good, and for the lamb tacos I wasn't a fan of the salsa boracha.
Overall, the food was all good, though it's pricey
I stumbled into this Mexican restaurant by complete accident & was lucky enough to find a table at the right time. The staff very friendly & attentive. The interior was available but the outdoor dinning was very inviting & also available. Service was great, drinks were delicious & food definitely o
Delicious and upscale Mexican food - there are a ton of tacos to try. The tempura fish tacos and the sea bass tacos are especially delicious. Everything has terrific flavors - try a couple of the salsas with the guacamole as well.
They have interesting ingredients that they use (pork belly, brus
Went on a Saturday night and it was packed. Server was funny, prompt and making helpful recommendations. Drinks were quick and well made. Food was amazing, fresh and good portion size. Would go back just for the shrimp (see picture) and Guac.

Went here on a company outing and the service and the food was very good. Can't beat the location...many choices after eating for after dinner drinks. Recommend this place for a casual but not fast food type of casual. Drinks were excellent. Oxtail tacos were delicious
I loved this place, great ambiance and really wonderful service. Only fault is that the menu would be better with a few additional choices, it's pretty limited. I don't usually order tacos but went for steak and they were tasty. Only two though so not sizeable if you're hungry.
Great service can't go wrong with the staff treated us Great
This place is awesome. Beautiful environment, spacious, AMAZING FOOD and friendly staff. I would recommend lamb and special tacos. The cucumber margarita is refreshing.
Great place for some after work drinks and happy hour. One of the nicest waiting staff that helped the whole party out with their order. The chicken and fish tacos were perfect and went well with the classic margarita. I’ll make sure to come back sometime soon.
Upscale Mexican. Tasty veggie options. Recommend the mushroom queso and for tacos- steak or brussel sprouts. Not on the menu is the guacamole add-on for 7 homemade salsas. Ask for it if you like variety in flavor.
Not exceptional: celery root salad.
Absolutely love this place. I go every few years and the quality of absolutely everything is consistent. Everything was absolutely delicious. Don’t miss out on the 7 salsas or one of the queso fundidos.
Nice casual taco place in NYC. Service and food were really great. I got a “por que no” margarita with nice spices and lemon juice!
