Beautifully decorated and excellent food. We had the basic burrito and shrimp taco lunch box. The burrito had a creamy texture inside and thin pliable tortilla with the perfect balance of flavors. The butterflied shrimp were gently grilled with a some char and featured a little spiciness. Guac and chips were clearly made in house and delicious.
Service on Friday at lunch was not great, just okay. It was friendly but not attentive and not timely. Upon entering, we waited several minutes with no acknowledgement until i asked the bartender if we could have a table. Water glasses were not refilled during the meal (but were refilled before the meal :-) Our food sat in the window for a couple minutes as our server stood next to it chatting with a coworker. Lastly, it took unusually long for the server to bring back our credit card with the receipt.
TLDNR: Food and atmosphere was excellent. Service was average.

We went on a date here during Restaurant Week and loved the food and drinks. It was some of my favorite Mexican food. We plan on coming again!

I visited Alta Calidad while on the hunt for a Mexican spot during NY Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Snapper Tostaditas, Carne Asada, and Churros. My favorite of the bunch was the Carne Asada. I would order that again if I returned. The service was great. The waitress answered any questions we had and the drinks came out fast. This was great value for a price of $45 (because it was during restaurant week). The ambiance was great, with natural lighting and good music. I would recommend this place to someone looking for slightly upscale Mexican food.

This was so bland food, zero spice. The meat was over cooked and dry, the dishes had 1 ketchupy sauce, guacamole was bland, the corn bread boring. 2 tacos for 18-19$.
Joke.
Great spot for upscale Mexican food. We shared the fish, shrimp, carne asada, and crispy chickpea tacos which were all cooked perfectly and on a fresh soft tortilla. The drinks were also delicious. Service was friendly. Atmosphere 4/5 because the acoustics of the space weren’t great.

Everything was great, and staff were really nice but we felt it was pretty expensive compared to similar places in the city we've been to. So you get an idea, our order of chips and guac appetizer, a glass of wine and a margarita, two orders of tacos (good but two small tacos per order), and a shared side of rice and beans came to about $130 w tax and tip.

Taste-wise, the food was delicious, and the drinks were very good. The service was amazing, and I really like the location of this place.
However, the portion sizes were quite small. If you’re coming here just to have a drink and a light bite, it’s perfect. But if you’re arriving hungry and expecting a full meal, even two plates might not be enough to fill you up.

Great happy hour! Good classic margarita for $10. And the chips were also very good. We then split two tacos which were delicious.
Had a great Friday dinner with a few friends. The guac and chips came with harder chips than usual chips, but it was helpful for the thick guac. The fish tacos were delicious!
The wait staff were very attentive, and removed my utensils before I could finish the guac...after I ran out of chips.

The two tacos I ordered took a long time to arrive and the service at the bar wasn't the best. In the end, the food was good. I might come back.

This place was really good, my girlfriend and I got the short rib queso fundido (which was incredible), the steak tacos were cooked perfectly and we got the churros for dessert. We want to come back for brunch, this is a must return on our list!
