Overall, we had an ok experience mostly due to the fact that, regardless of us having a reservation for a table, when reaching the restaurant, we were told no tables were available and we were sat on bar stools. Food was ok and the server was quite nice, but it was upsetting to be seated that way when we had a reservation for a table (we arrived on time for context).

Pretty average food. Service was not up to the mark. The staff didn't seem knowledgeable and kept running back and forth to the chef to answer our questions. The taste of all the items we ordered was strictly average. Portion sizes were disappointing for both the small and large plates.

We had a great meal and the service was terrific. I particularly enjoyed the tuna tostada and watermelon salad. I wish I could remember the person who waited on us, because he was great. A lovely evening and we will definitely go back!

I initially liked the outdoor dining space, until I had to sit at a too small no leg room table. The service was spotty. We ordered margaritas 2/5 (weak), guacamole and chips 3/5, and duck and chicken enchiladas 4/5.

The waiter was super friendly and attentive to us. The food tasted great and the atmosphere was super nice.

Experience was ok. Food was decent but nothing to phone home about. Went with a large party, our waiter was not super attentive or overly helpful. It felt like he was phoning it in knowing the tip was guaranteed with the large party.
One time watch kinda restaurant.

Quite a disappointing experience! First and last time going there. First off, parking is a hassle. It is very limited 1hr or 2hr street parking. The place has a nice ambience but the AC is directly on some seats. Hostess was very welcoming. The food is just ok but quite pricy. Here are the main issues: Our waiter started with asking about drinks. We chose margaritas but then he asked with what tequila we want them and he recommended something himself. Guess what we ended up paying 46 dollars for two drinks. It went from 31 to 46 and he did not inform us about this. This was just the beginning. Then for main dishes we ordered a bunch including steak fajitas which on its own was 39. He suggested to add black beans and rice and we agreed. We were charged another 10 for that so 49 dollars for a fajitas dish!!! We asked for lemonade and he said what flavor and suggested strawberry and ended up adding an extra 2 dollars for that. Bottom line very dishonest and tricky business. I called the restaurant after to complain and the manager gave me 20 dollars refund.
Oh one last thing. The shrimp was not cleaned properly and the guts were still in! Photo is included.

We stopped in on a Tuesday night and had a great quick meal. The service was fast. As you can see from the pics, it's stunning. They had great chic music and a pleasant balance of variety. Our favorites were the watermelon salad and tuna tostada. Check them out!

We were staying at the Revolution Hotel and our group wandered over to Cosmica for some drinks. I’m a former Boston native as was reluctant, since I know of so many great bars/restaurants in the area. I was so pleasantly surprised! Fun/inviting decor, the pineapple margarita was out of the world and the staff was so so sweet to my family. The bartender Andrea in particular really made my mother-in-laws night. Thank you for a great experience!
Our waiter Andreas was super cool and friendly. He even allowed us to practice some Spanish with him. He was so patient when I was slaughtering the language of Cervantes.
We selected a big plate, and a small one, along with Guac and chips. Everything was fresh and delicious; the portions are rather not huge for USA, but just the right size for Europe.
The Mango Margarita was excellent; and if you are into beers, they do have some good old standard Mexican beers (not only Corona). (By the way, did you know that Germans brought the art of brewing beer to Mexico, and also accordion? Yeah watch some B-Movies guys)

Food was decent, atmosphere was imcluding the typical loud Mexican songs. 3 stars for the service since at the end the waiter rushed us to pay the bill (in a matter of seconds) after we said we will not order dessert or something else. Unnecessary and impolite in my opinion.

One of my new favorite spots. Drinks were strong and tasty, love the inventive small plates that let us try a few different things. Mole chicken was fall apart tender and moist. Looking forward to more visits in the future.
