“Excellent service, great house Margarita (only $5 during happy hour!) beautifully presented food - and they had vegetarian and vegan options - mine was delicious vegan chorizo enchiladas. Colorful and fun atmosphere.“

“Love the Pan Detroit Style Pizza never disappoints. Also tried the Vodka Sauce pie and the sauce is delicious to go along with a great pie.“

“Amazing food and service. The regular rice and beans are a standout. The food tastes fresh, I've eaten there thrice this week and the quality is consistently good. I can't think of a mexican place in the area that stands up to it. A welcome edition to the town“

“Great Christmas decorations. Attentive service, generous portions, and great food. For lunch we ordered Shrimp tacos (4) and beef burrito which came with a side out rice and beans. All arrived hot and had a delicious Verde sauce. Only thing is change is have a bar with margaritas!!!“

“Whewwwwweee did I enjoy myself!

First of all, it's gorgeous, so sunshine-y and green. We sat at the bar and the service was great. We ordered the cantaloupe slushies and they were so, so good! They weren't overly strong + they mix them themselves, just a few ingredients. The guac was a little small but delicious. The pork tacos were pretty expensive for 2, I thought, until I tasted them. WOW, so good. We were so busy catching up, we didn't realize they'd closed to get ready for dinner. They emphasized we hadn't overstayed our welcome, we could stay as long as we needed.
And the disco-themed restroom + playlist? Excellente“

“Food was pretty good only had the pork t taco, shrimp taco and frozen Mojito. The drinks were strong and delicious. The shrimp taco was soo good The pork taco lacked flavor. The ambiance is cool.btje bright walls give it a festive vibe however during the summer there isn't much difference between inside or outside seating. By the time we left our table from inside, our clothes were sticking to our bodies. It's a sauna that with fans that blow hot air with a one working bathroom. Other than that I was satisfied.“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“Great Mexican restaurant the food is delicious“

“omg Sophia was absolutely amazing! She catered to alllll my allergies. And it was my boy's bday and she made it extra special. Totally recommend to anyone in Chelsea!“

“The buffalos flower tacos were really enjoyable—flavorful with a nice spice and a hint of tanginess. The Grande Nachos were also delicious and generous in size. They were definitely satisfying and something I’d order again. Overall, a solid meal, and I’d be interested in trying more items from the menu next time.“

“Small but fresh menu made it perfect for making decisions and also means the food SHOULD be great across the board and they did not let us down.

Calm atmosphere was perfect for intimate gatherings and a focus attention on your party.

The chips and salsa was a great way to start opening the pallet to different flavors paired with
The Amarillos aguachiles which was light, sweet, and refreshing

Tostada de atun was mouth watering, fresh, flavorful and my personal favorite of the night but a tough 2nd pick was the branzino we order which comes with a nice pineapple salsa. The fish was cooked perfectly and also so fresh.

Everything here is fresh and packed with flavor, perfect for hot summer night, light dinners, or parties with friends.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“

“Nizuc isn’t just a restaurant it’s a full sensory experience. The space is stunning: lush greenery, artful details, and music that sets the perfect mood without being too loud.

The menu is a celebration of bold, modern Mexican flavors. From the creamy guacamole with house-made chips to the slow-braised birria tacos, everything tasted fresh and carefully crafted. I also loved how the dishes were served ,presentation was beautiful but not overdone.

The drinks were just as memorable. Their signature cocktails blend mezcal, tequila, and tropical flavors in unexpected ways . I had a passion caliente that I’m still dreaming about.

And honestly, the staff made the night. Warm smiles, great recommendations, and the kind of service that makes you want to come back.“

“Comida deliciosa y servicio excelente.“

“Très bon restaurant, le personnel est chaleureux et très attentionné ☺️ j’ai adoré mon repas 🤤🤤“

“I am in awe how absolutely incredible the shrimp tacos were. When I was checking out at the restaurant I got a bit of sticker shock on how expensive it was, however it was well worth it. 100% recommend. Fast service and cute neighborhood vibe.“

“U planned my birthday party at La Contenta LES and would highly recommend everyone do the same! We were a table of 8 - and the offer for a prix fixe for that side group is great. They worked with me to select a menu and it was very easy to communicate with them. The night itself was great, everyone was so nice. The food is always excellent (I’ve been many times already), and the portions were huge! Would definitely celebrate another occasion here.“

“Cosme is a true celebration of flavor and elevated Mexican cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance—elegant, warm, and thoughtfully designed, with well-spaced tables that allow for comfortable conversation without overhearing your neighbors.

The service was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive. Our party of six ordered everything at once and shared family-style, and the pacing of each course was spot on.

We started with all the appetizers, and it was nearly impossible to choose a favorite. The scallops al pastor, the corn, and the bass were each exceptional in their own way—beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor.

For mains, the standout was the duck carnitas—tender, rich, and perfectly executed. An off-menu tomahawk ribeye, served with house-made salsa and fresh corn tortillas, was another highlight—arguably better than what you’d find at a top steakhouse.

Although Cosme offers a thoughtful wine list, we found ourselves captivated by the cocktails. The spicy margarita was a favorite, and the mezcal flight was both fun and expertly curated.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert—but that only gives us another reason to return. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.“

“When to celebrate a birthday with family. We had great time! We chose the Sunday's brunch menu, trully recomemded it for a large group. Drinks and food were really good. The host did a great job and we got tequila's shots on the house from the manager :)! Everyone loved the new theme of the restaurant. We will come back for sure!“

“everything was delicious, atmosphere was fantastic, service was great. Highly recommended!“

A group of young men putting the work. The place is nice and clean, their food is very good. Those guys really tried. I used to order online, today I decided to walk in eventhough it took them a lil time to have my order ready once served I was very pleased with the food. 10 out of 10z.

Athmosphere, could be a little better.“

“My first time eating here! The horchata is the best I've ever had! I’m now able to differentiate between authentic Horchata and mid horchata thanks to this restaurant! This is a small restaurant but so festive and beautiful! They cooked the food with love. Me and my wife had the Birria Pizza. The meat was cooked well and the pizza stood in tact.“

“Playa Betty's has great tasting tacos and the staff and atmosphere is awesome! ❣️ frm:🇯🇵🇺🇸“

“Excellent restaurant serving a variety of Mexican and Mexican-inspired dishes, and some Sinaloan options like aguachile. It's hard to go wrong with any of the guacamoles, starters, or tacos. The aguachile and ceviches we've tried have been good. Was pleasantly surprised by their cocktails. Particularly like the Fridita and the Paloma. The couple that runs the restaurant is very kind. Nice ambiance too“
