Some of the nicest food I’ve had in a while. The esquites starter was unbelievable (I would’ve licked the plate if it was socially acceptable) and the surf and turf fajitas were out of this world. The guacamole was so fresh too. I’ve been before and so glad I brought a friend visiting me this time. I had the special hibiscus strawberry frozen margarita which was amazing. The staff were so friendly and their service was fantastic. 11/10 and will definitely be back
July 2025
Service was fine. Food was horrible. The queso is literally velveeta cheese with chilies in it. Atmosphere is cute but nothing special. There are too many amazing restaurants in NYC to waste your money here. Margarita was horrible.
April 2025
This place is great, food is consistently delicious with really good portions. We order from here often and their service is great. There was once an item missing from our delivery, and they managed to send it over after the fact with extra chips and guac! The brussels sprouts appetizer is my favorite!
