The staff were super welcoming and handled everything with such care, making sure my visit was memorable. I left feeling completely satisfied and cannot wait to come back for another round.“

“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.“

“Talavera did it again! This was my second time visiting this beautiful and cozy restaurant on 10th Avenue, and the experience has been consistently excellent. The service is attentive and thorough, while the food and drinks are delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with great attention to detail. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Taqueria on 10th was honestly an incredible dining experience! The food was absolutely amazing, authentic, flavorful, and you could immediately tell that the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. We ordered the carnitas tacos, steak tacos, nachos, elote, and churros, and everything was delicious. The tacos were packed with flavor, the nachos were loaded and perfectly balanced, and the churros were the perfect way to finish the meal.

The margaritas were INSANE and definitely some of the best we’ve had in NYC. A huge shoutout to Cesar, our bartender, for making such amazing drinks!

But what really made our experience stand out was the service. Louis, our server, was phenomenal—so attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely made us feel so welcomed throughout the entire meal. Excellent service can make such a difference, and Louis truly went above and beyond.

Between the incredible food, amazing margaritas, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service, Taqueria on 10th is absolutely worth visiting if you’re in Hudson Yards. We will definitely be back!“

“So fabulous! Delicious food! Amazing service! If you are any where near Brooklyn, it is a must!!“

“this restaurant's food quality is too good“

“😍 I Love ❤️ their chicken and steak 🥩 tacos 🌮 and their Melanesa steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 🥰❤️“

“This was the best Mexican meal I've ever had outside of Mexico City itself. Note that the food here is based on the cuisines of two Mexican states in the southern and central western parts of Mexico: Oaxaca and Jalisco. Two friends, my wife, and I really loved the tuna tostados, truffle esquites (street corn), arrachera, veggie tacos, and churros that were all part of the Power Lunch menu. We also enjoyed their Sangria and Gringo drinks. Our server, Sharon, was very frinedly and knew the menu well. My only minor nit was that she asked us how our appetizers were before we had even touched them. I highly recommend Kahlo to people who like flavorful food and would like to try a different kind of Mexican food.“

“We were a table of 8 enjoying a late brunch. Lovely setting, gracious service, delicious food and cocktails. Nice atmosphere under natural light from skylight with low noise to comfortably chat and hear everyone from one end of the table to the other. We started with some guacamole which was super fresh and delicious. I had the Enmoladas Xico: 3 chicken enchiladas in a smokey and deeply flavorful mole sauce. And finally, the beautifully prepared desserts: a coconut flan, tres leches cake with toasted meringue, and an elote corn cake with caramel sauce and ice cream. We were blown away.“

“Hermoso restaurante de comida internacional música tragos espectaculares y ambiente súper agradable“

“Really good for a quick bite, took a little bit too long for two small tacos in a quick bite situation and I’m not sure it’s the best vibe for like a sit down nice dinner, but it’s really good for take out. They also have really good margaritas.“

“Abbiamo cenato da Rosie's in NY ieri sera! una bella atmosfera, locale molto curato e pulito, ottimi piatti tipici di cucina messicana! ottimi margarita! personale gentile e cordiale, sono stati molto attenti alle allergie alimentari dei nostri commensali! nonostante la distanza da casa ci hanno fatto sentire a casa, consigliato vivamente! un grande grande grazie a tutti e alla titolare!“

“los mejores tacos al pastor!!!!!👍👍👍👍“

“My family attended the Easter celebration. We had a blast.“

“So delicious and authentic! Wonderful service :)“

“Best Guacamole i’ve ever had with their homemade chips!!!!! The Braised pork Tostada with green sauce is to die for as well as the chorizo quesodilla! MmmmmMmmmm!“

“*delicious*. outstanding blue corn tortillas, delicious food all round, creative + very balanced cocktails. sooo good. great music. everyone is lovely. beautiful plants. felt like i was back in Valle Guadalupe. cant believe how long it took me to eat here!“

“What a delightful surprise tucked away in a lovely side street in Union City. On a dog walk in the neighborhood, I wandered by only to return that evening. This menu is by no means standard, it introduces elements of northern Mexican cuisine with nuanced flavors to deliver a sophisticated plate. The same attention given to the culinary side of things is repeated throughout what I like to define as Spanish bistro. The owner Yannin and her son Justin have imbued their space with original touches, hidden nooks and happy, unobtrusive music; altogether a lovely experience whether in company or alone. A neighborhood treasure.“

“Mariscos El Submarino is the best place for Mexican-style seafood! The food is delicious, and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. It truly feels like a place where you’re treated like family. Definitely one of our favorite spots, we always love coming here!“

“Excellent food good portions and great drinks it was great from start to finish Ava was attended and friendly nothing but good vibes would definitely come back again.“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“Hubby and I needed a quick place to eat before back to school night in town. This place is absolutely DELICIOUS! We ordered the chicken birria tacos, and the “Al pastor”, and we shared them. The pineapple in the steak and the cilantro and fresh lime to squeeze over was fantastic. The birria sauce was so tasty! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Highly recommend Molkajete Restaurant and Bar. Nicely decorated, this Latin American cuisine restaurant has a very inviting, family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. I've dined here two times and am very happy with my choice on both occasions. They offer catering as well.“

“Everything was good. The only complain i have is they give you only 90 min to eat and drink. After that time they just bring the check with out us asking and they refuse to keep serving you. They said they have others reservation and people waiting outside for your table. I think they should let you know when you do the table reservation or when you arrive to the place so you can have that on mind. We Drove 1 hr just to get there with a party of 6 and we were consuming all the time . So basically they kick us out.“

“We stumbled in and it was the best decision ever! The cocktails were phenomenal and all the juices were fresh and you can tell. The salsas were just as great as the drinks. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Very friendly, neat and clean place. Beyond words delicious food. The atmosphere noisy could not found sound absorber wall covers.“

“3.5/4

Went with a friend to try out Comal tonight and hmmm had a quite mid experience.

To start, the staff was kind but service was quite slow. Also when we arrived the iPad was dead so they didn’t have our res up until it was plugged in and booted up which left us standing awkwardly beside some others who were eating and was a little uncomfortable.

I had ordered an NA taller 116 drink and really did enjoy it! I think that some places have NA drinks but they are just syrupy sugar bombs… not the case here as it was a very balanced and enjoyable drink.

To start we had the bluefin aguachile, the sungold tomato salad (recommended by server), and the beef tartare. The beef tartare was incredible!! A must order if you go here… easily the best dish of the night as it was balanced and super tasty with the chapulines. I really enjoyed the bluefin aguachile as well, but my friend had said that the aguachile tasted “cheesy”. The most disappointing dish was the sungold tomato salad. The tomatoes were not sweet and were overall quite bland.

For the larger dishes we got the crunchy lobster, smoked chicken, and the salsa flight.

The salsa flight was great! Each of the 3 were very tasty and mixed well with the chicken. The chicken was easily the second best of the night behind the tartare. The chicken was SUPER tender and the smoking method is something not seen too much in NY at a restaurant. The adobo was incredible as well!! The crunchy lobster was not as good. The lobster was pretty soft and also came completely covered by greens to hide the small amount of lobster given. Overall also quite bland.

We skipped dessert.“

“this restaurant's food quality is too good“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“Tequila, the food and of course, Amanda!“

“Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. The food was superb and truly felt authentic. We started with the sweet plantain empanada with beans, followed by enchiladas and hibiscus drinks, and everything was delicious.

The service was beyond amazing. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. We felt so welcomed and cared for throughout the entire meal, which made the experience even more special.

And the desserts were out of this world! The tres leches and corn cake were both incredible and the perfect way to finish the meal.

The atmosphere was classy, quiet, and cozy—perfect for enjoying a relaxed lunch. Everything, from the food to the service and ambiance, was exceptional. This is definitely one of those places I already know I’ll be coming back to. HIGHLY recommend!“

“Wonderful experience. I went with two friends after work, around 9:00pm. The host, bartender and other employees were so friendly and welcoming. The drinks were superb and the food (we only had small bites) was delicious, fresh and flavorful. In addition, the place had a very cozy but stylish atmosphere. Would definitely come back!“

“went to the west 43rd street location in Manhattan. huge portions and excellent food“

“buena atencion y rica comida mexicana“

“The birria tacos were delicious! Excellent service.“

“Every dishes was prepared with intent to detail and innovation. My personal 2 favs were the razor clams and the crab tostado. The lobster dish was good but not the best. Service was great. It's tight and crowded inside but Definitely A must in NYC“

“Definitivamente las mejores quesadillas de Tinga al carbón.“
