We had great food and a good time at Alma, which has been around for so many years. Tbh there are other dishes on the current menu I'd like to try but we only had standards like guacamole, fajitas and enchiladas. However these were all very tasty and well presented and the spice level was just right for us (medium - I'm sure they'd raise or lower it for you if you asked). The service was excellent and of course there was that incomparable view, especially through the wraparound windows on the mirror- backed top (3rd) floor where we were (the 2nd floor space looked fine, too). We dined very comfortably and happily, overlooking the lights of Manhattan at night. P. S. Some reviews seem to confuse Alma with Bar 61 on the ground floor. I've heard it's a good place, but it's not Alma or a restaurant.

We stopped in for a quick drink and snack while we were in the area. Alma has a perfect corner bar feel and what looked to be an excellent menu, based on the food we saw coming out. My only regret here is we had other plans and didn’t stay for dinner. We grabbed chips and salsa and the salsa was not only homemade tasting, it was one of the better salsas I’ve had in recent memory. We’ll plan better next time and will be back soon!

I went on a Saturday night at 8pm and the place was empty. I mean really empty. The food was good but unnecessarily spicy. The food was not as good as I remember, definitely not good enough to go back anytime soon. The view is very nice.

Came on a Friday afternoon. If you want the rooftop view I would recommend reservations. Please note, there are no elevators and it is a steep 3 flights of stairs but worth it. The rooftop was cozy and had great views of the city. Food was yummy, the pork and shrimp tacos were really good and tender. Carlos was our server and he was super sweet.

We had a great birthday dinner here and the view and food did not disappoint! Awesome rooftop spot for sunset drinks and food overlooking the Manhattan skyline. The queso app was the only thing we found wasn’t worth it but otherwise all the food and drink was delicious.

Really nice spot with rooftop views of the city. Mexican plates you'd expect and very tasty indeed. Mezcal and tequila based cocktails were very nice and had a good kick. Check them out after sunset for even better views.

Walk-In with my friend around 11pm cause I saw the fight(ufc317) on the TV. There were like 2 other people sitting down as well pretty empty. We got 2 drinks, 5-10mins later they changed the TV to some random football game, mind you place was practically empty on a Saturday night, NOT ONE person was paying attention to that game. So I started to watch on my phone, when we tried to order another round of drinks the mustache bartender legit only came to my friend and took his order and ignored me completely. 5-10mins pass by, still hasn’t asked me about another drink even though I tried to flag him down to order, was being completely ignored. Eventually I lost interest in spending anymore money here, definitely will not come here again or recommend this place to any one, if this is how their service goes with just 4 people in the bar. Can’t imagine how’d it be when busy.
One of the best Mexican food I had in the USA. The drinks were amazing and also the location its gorgeous!

Restaurant was really cold and we could not enjoyed the food. The food was basic and super expensive! The landscape was not unique… I do not recommend it .

We visited early on a sunny evening and had delicious fish and pork tacos on the open air terrace. The Jamaican margarita with Tajin rim was perfect and a generous measure. The service is really friendly and efficient and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!
