“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!“

“Accidental find on way to Bermuda!!! Such a fun, vibrant and clean place! The drinks and food top notch. The service even better. @danny helped guide me through menu to get some delicious choices! We will be back!“

“My first visit to King of Meat
at a friend’s recommendation. Our waiter Rowin was attentive, accommodating and made the experience delightful. We came at 6:30pm on a Friday and was surprised they had a reduced price “happy hour” for Margaritas and beer til 7.
We ordered the cheesy dip with bacon bits and chips as an appetizer and it was DELICIOUS!!! For dinner we had the smash burger and quesadilla with steak and mushrooms. Both were yummy. They have a good drink menu, though not too many wine choices. In addition to Rowin, I appreciated the attentiveness of the owner who stopped by as well as the bartender who made sure to greet us coming and going. I will definitely return.“

“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.“

“Absolutely incredible place I even got to meet the manager. The guy was awesome. I recommend this place completely to anybody else is off the hook fantastic“

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

“bartenders were all nice you can tell they enjoy what they do!“

“This is a fantastic place for a quick and satisfying lunch, especially when you're working nearby. The flavors are truly excellent. While the quality is certainly evident in every bite, I did find the prices to be a little on the higher side. It's a great option if you're looking for a treat, though. I'd recommend it if you're willing to splurge a bit for a delicious meal.“

“We had an incredible meal here. The food was delicious, the service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance was very enjoyable. The space was decorated in a very fun and festive way which makes it a little bit of an escape from the city. The ribeye tacos were delicious and were half off because of the Friday special. The plantains are also a must have side. They have frozen margaritas in rotating flavors and the mago one was delicious. We ended the meal with some churros and dipping sauces and left full and happy.“

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

“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.“

“So delicious and authentic! Wonderful service :)“

“Very creative dishes like the ceviche & other delicious fish dinners. Of course the churros are great.“

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

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

“We were in the area and got a 6:30pm reservation 30 mins in advance on Open Table. Despite being a last-minute reservation and being dressed on the casual side, the hostess greeted us like we were her favorite customers! Cocktails were interesting, nuanced and delicious. They were well-priced for the quality. The house- made tortilla chips were outstanding, and paired with the guacamole with black garlic and mango salsa- yummmmm. Amazing. I had hamachi tacos on blue corn tortillas. The fish was perfectly cooked, the presentation was beautiful, and the flavors fresh and delightful. Portion size was just right. This was the last restaurant meal of our NYC trip and it was an unexpected gem. Try it. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I’ve been eyeing this place for a while and excited to go: it’s extremely cute, the ambiance and staff are great, the atmosphere is nice overall.
Unfortunately, the prices and the food you get do not level out: the prices are high and portions are small, as someone already mentioned, expect to walk out hungry with a $100 check per person if you skip desert.
I might come back for the bar happy hour but the dinner was underwhelming solely because of how little you get for the price.“

“Some of the most IMPRESSIVE service and food I have ever experienced. My girlfriend and I ordered the Burrata and Churros with some drinks. First of all, I've made burrata at home for years, its one of my favorite dishes, but THIS BURRATA CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE (Churros too). I have never experienced such a wonderful palate of flavors from burrata before. Laisha, the server, was extremely friendly and informative of the menu as well as considerate of any allergies we may have. Please visit this place!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My family and I stopped by for a quick bite after school and were pleasantly delighted with the delicious food, great service and attentive environment. We will definitely return and make it our Mexican Food restaurant going forward. We loved the food and very attentive waitress who paid attention to every detail.“

“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.“

“First time trying and I was impressed with the menu offerings! I enjoyed the fresh tuna & the fish taco. Looking forward to trying more items next time! It was great to have alcoholic options too. And loved that they had so many hot sauces to try on the table. Service was slightly slow but staff was friendly.“

“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!“

“Food and service were great! All the dishes were good. I loved the scallop seasoned with avocado and soy sauce.

Everything else starts to taste the same lol although very delicious. They’re all very citrus based and the seasonings taste similar.

If u come before 630 on a weekday there’s not wait“

“Went here for our anniversary and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Luis, the manager, curated an incredible selection of dishes for us and personally stopped by throughout the meal to describe each plate in detail. Franco, our waiter, was incredibly attentive and constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect.

The crab empanadas, tuna tostada, and corn cake dessert were all phenomenal. Exceptional food, service, and hospitality — they truly made our anniversary feel special. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I’m visiting New York on vacation and came here after seeing several TikTok videos about this restaurant. It definitely lived up to the hype! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. Franco took great care of us throughout our visit—he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The hostess Lorena was also incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere, the food, and the customer service were all exceptional. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
