Had such a tasty burrito for lunch here. Can’t wait to come back!

I had the worst fish tacos of my life here. The fish was tasteless and all of the toppings did not mesh well together. The tortillas also had an off putting texture. Yuca tater tots and the pork shoulder dish were passable, but I’ll pass next time.
Edit: I appreciate the response actually, not a lot of restaurants do this.
Would highly recommend. Excellent food and service. They accommodated a kid request to simplify the tacos and a vegetarian request to make the queso meat-free. Margaritas were good. Tacos and short rib entree were great as was the rice and beans side. Portion sizes were perfect. Tres Leche dessert was delicious. The music wasn't too loud, so were were able to easily carry on a conversation. My only observation was that the music genre didn't really match the restaurant but that was hardly an issue. 5 stars!

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.
