The environment is very upbeat and the dj is actually lit meaning good mix of genera’s as being played. The atmosphere has a lot of creative decorations that makes the place feel alive.

From the very beginning, the experience was disappointing. Despite having an 8pm reservation yesterday, it took until 8.30pm to be seated. The hostess didn't even apologize for the wait; she simply told me she was going down the line and that we would be called when our table was ready. Once we were finally sat, our server passed by our table twice without even acknowledging us, not even to offer water. It wasn't until 8.45pm that we finally received water and had the chance to order. Unfortunately, the situation only continued to worsen from there.

by 9pm, we still hadn't received our food, and when we inquired, the server assured us it would be out in 10 mins. Naturally, it wasn't. At 9.17pm I felt compelled to speak with a manager about the situation. The first manager dismissed my concerns and the general manager who eventually introduced himself wasn't much more helpful. Instead of addressing the issue with any empathy, he directed me back to my table, calming he knew the situation. His approach felt dismissive. He assured me he would go to the kitchen, but after another 10-15 minutes, we still had no food. By 9.30pm, the food finally arrived, but we were informed they were out several items we ordered. At that point, we had no choice but to leave without eating.

I acknowledge that the staff, including the hostess, server and management, did seem to be trying their best, but the service e was still far below expectations. Whether it was understaffing in the back of the house or front of the house, the over all performance just wasn't up to par. To add to the frustration, other tables around us were also experiencing significant delays - one table waited 30 mins just for a sauce while already waiting a significant time for their food.

Possibly my worst dining experience. With a reservation for 7:15pm, we were told to wait until they prepared the table. 30 minutes later, they told us that it would be another 35 minutes wait, no apology offered. After standing for an hour, we finally got seated but had to wait 10 minutes for a menu, and then waited another 50 minutes for the first round of tacos to arrive. The pictures I’ve attached are a testament to this: it is 9:01pm in the photo, a full 1 hour 45 minutes from the time of our reservation. The server had clearly mixed up our order (eg swapping asada out for carnitas, etc). This wasn’t actually a big deal because we frankly didn’t care that much and they were all decent tacos. It’s just simply the fact that we were forced to wait over an hour for a reservation and then nearly another hour for our food is unacceptable for a restaurant that forces us to also pay a 20% tip.

Had a reservation but had to wait 30 mins to be seated because of how many people there were. Was there for taco tuesday 90 mins ayce limit, and so the rule was 2 sets of 3 tacos max per round, but it took at least 30 mins for the food to arrive so only ended up eating two rounds worth of food. Music by the dj was blaring too over the speakers so you couldn’t hear the waiters at all. My waiter was apologetic though for how busy they were, so there’s that. All in all, $65 for two people, 12 mid tacos devoured in 5 mins bc of starvation, yeah not coming back.

El ambiente, la comida y la música estuvieron muy buenas. Pero el mesero que nos atendió 👎👎👎

The general manager was the rudest person I have ever met in my life. He was so unprofessional and kept trying to rush us out the whole night. He was so bad that our server continues to apology for his behavior throughout the night. We spend $900 on the most mediocre food ive ever had in the city. The DJ was great!

We were just in NYC last week for a sisters/nieces trip and on our first night, we went here for dinner. We. Had. So. Much. Fun. The food was very good, drinks were great—we had several different ones, all good. We also did the six desserts for $45 and they were all wonderful! Since one in our party was having a birthday, we also got the birthday piñata. So fun! It was delivered to the table with sparklers and a bubble machine! The DJ was very energetic and played lots of great music. He was also gracious enough to play a couple of hillbilly requests we made. Our waitress was phenomenal and took great care of us! We truly enjoyed our time there!

Everything I expected and more. I will definitely come back. Thanks for a memorable birthday. Only thing I didn't really like was the photographs cuz, a lot of pics were taken but the price was pretty high. She took over 20 pics for $25 each. Yeah no. We got few but we left a tone. Over all my kind of place. The DJ was awesome!!!!!

Actually one of the worst meals I've had in NYC. The restaurant was so loud and the view stinks. The food is overpriced and not at all appetizing. Don't waste your time and money here

We were here with 5 girls from Holland. The atmosphere is really great. If you want an evening of fun, this is definitely recommended. The food was also great.
