“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.“

“Delicious and unique items available on the menu. The staff, food, and environment and overall experience were 10/10. Definitely check it out!“

“They have the best tacos and burritos“

“LOVED this new restaurant. A must try! The mole sauce on the enchiladas was out of this world DELICIOUS (and gluten free!) and they were super excellent taking care with my allergies. Oysters were fresh and incredible. Cocktails really great, the spicy marg is better than the regular one and the happy hour on Mondays is awesome! Vibe super great as well as the service. My ONLY complaint were the chips, but I feel it's a super important thing at a mexican place to have good chips. These were charred, bland and flavorless, and while I LOVED that they were celiac safe gluten free (not fried in a frier with flour), they kind of ruined what were otherwise decent salsas. They were also a bit chewy almost in a stale way, but the lack of flavor, texture and no salt was the main problem. We actually held back our salt from our oysters to help with the chips, but it didn't solve the texture or overall taste. Otherwise this place was incredible if the chips were good it would have a 11/10 from me and I'd be a regular!!!!! Still will definitely go back here, and hopefully they will reinvent their chips!“

“great wait staff.. even better food“

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

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

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

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Love the place,love the service and the lobster tacos 🌮 were amazing.“

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

“Food was very good! We arrived and staff was very warm and welcoming! The food and drinks were good, the churros were amazing! I would only deduct a start rating due to pricing…I think for what it is the prices a bit higher than what I would pay. Otherwise good place to eat.“

“It was a surprise to find this little restaurant in Harlem. There were no tables, and we took the last two seats at the bar. While we waited, I surprisingly felt at home. The aroma of the food, the care with which Karina prepared each of the dishes, and the kindness and joy they served us. By the time our table was ready, we didn't want to take it anymore; we ate much more than we planned to order because we didn't want to miss out on their delicious food. I have dietary restrictions, and I was surprised to see that everything from the exquisite tortillas to the delicious tres leches dessert was prepared right there, gluten-free and preservative-free. I hope to return soon.“

“this restaurant's food quality is too good“

“Hidden down a side street in LES. Checked it out for lunch on a Sunday. Servers were knowledgeable about allergens on menu. Can recommend the chicken suizas. The cocktails could be a tad more generous for the price. Overall, would definitely come back again.“

“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.“

“Wow this food is incredible! Drinks are heavenly tequila mezcal creations from heaven. Do yourself a favor and go to Arre Sinaloa asap!!! Birria and smoky guac are unforgettable and the owners are so kind I feel like I’m eating at their house. 5 stars all around can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“I recently held a private event at Casa Carmen Tribeca. From the moment I contacted the restaurant through to the end of my party everything was handled with total professionalism and focused concern to meet my needs. The food was simply outstanding, we had a wide variety of passed appetizers and entrées covering the full menu. Everyone raved about it. The restaurant staff was very friendly and flexible, adapting to changing circumstances as needed. The drinks were crafted and well made, and the bar was well staffed, providing easy access (open bar); they even thought ahead to have some wine and drinks available on passed trays so that there was never a crowd waiting at the bar. I cannot say enough good things about the service, the food, and the thoughtfulness.
I have also enjoyed the restaurant as a dinner patron, and wholeheartedly recommend it for either ordinary dining or private events.“

“Cosme proves that fine dining requires neither white tablecloths nor hushed silence to command respect. The space balances industrial design with a warmth that feels effortless, much like the service.

We began with the Maine Uni Tostada. Pairing sea urchin with bone marrow salsa is a bold move that pays off magnificently. It is creamy, briny, and demonstrates a mastery of texture that sets the tone for the meal. The Octopus was equally impressive, sporting a char that gave way to a tender interior, all elevated by the subtle heat of chile morita.
The Duck Carnitas, however, are the undisputed king of this menu. Served in a cast-iron skillet to share, the meat is unctuous and rich without being heavy. Constructing the perfect bite with the fresh tortillas and radishes feels like a ritual you will want to repeat.

We finished with the Corn Husk Meringue. It looks like modern art and tastes like nostalgic genius. Enrique Olvera’s kitchen is firing on all cylinders, delivering a meal that is as intelligent as it is delicious.“

“Best Mexican place in NJ and PA combined. I’ve had lots of Mexican food from many places and this place blows all others out of the water. Genuinely a perfect 10/10 authentic Mexican food restaurant. The employees are also very kind and willing to converse.“

“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!“

“Khalo is a modern take on a Mexican restaurant, leaning more toward Mexican-American fusion, and overall it’s a great spot. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The décor is stylish and trendy, and the music gives the place more of a club vibe than a traditional Mexican restaurant, which actually adds to the experience depending on what you’re looking for.

While the menu doesn’t offer traditional tacos, what they do have is flavorful and well-prepared. The drinks are on the overpriced side, but that’s to be expected for the location. Parking is definitely a challenge—typical New York—but despite that, the restaurant is absolutely worth the visit.

I’d recommend checking it out if you’re in the mood for a fun, modern twist on Mexican cuisine.“

“We had the deluxe nachos and “beef” birria tacos, which were excellent. The enchiladas mole wasn’t my fav, but it was still good. Another time, I got the breakfast/ huevo burrito, which was great. My partner didn’t love the chorizo burrito, but he’s not a fan of wet burritos. It’s nice to know you had a lot of protein after a big meal. Also the atmosphere is the best. Very cozy. All booths and soft lighting. Updated from previous review on 2025-10-12“

“lovely hidden gem on Avenue A between 13th and 14th streets. The place is family owned and operated and the food is to do for. It is reasonably priced, I often find myself trying to figure out if I want a tamale or a shredded beef or pork taco.“

“Delicious Mexican seafood. Every dish was flavorful and had a good portion of seafood. I would recommend the Cobb Caesar and the Lobster Fideo Seco. I definitely would come back! The staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself was very cozy“

“Carlos, I believe his name was, he was amazing and kept the food and drinks coming!! I’ve been to a lot of different places where they offer bottomless every thing but, this is DEFINITELY the best place to go! Ask for, Carlos.. (I came up for a wedding and a birthday and I ended up have the best time ever)“

“Ate at Ponche Taqueria yesterday with a friend before seeing a show. Great food, and freindly service! Menu is basic, but offers plenty. Guacamole was delicious as were the taco combo plates! Get off the beaten path a bit & you will be rewarded!“

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