Service was good, food was lukewarm and bland. I feel like a sucker for going into an empty restaurant that looked abandoned from the never-washed windows.

Celso was outstanding, he was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks they had. He also gave us some nice suggestions for Mezcal to

Three tables in the restaurant seated starting around 830pm. They allegedly ran out of shrimp, steak, and ice or got lazy and didn’t feel like serving anymore. The pineapple had been frozen and went bad, but was still in all of the mixed drinks, making them taste really bitter and undrinkable. It really didn’t matter since they only took orders for one drink during the 2.5 hr seating. It took that long to get an order in and drinks, which was sketchy, but seemingly makes sense if they were running low on ice. We got a couple guacs, orders of tacos and one drink per person. Ended up costing $80 a person. Food was decent for what they had. Drinks no. Won’t be back again.

Will not come back. They added 20% gratuity fee when we only have 3 people and it was not listed on the menu. Usually mandatory gratuity fee is for party of 6, they probably think we are tourist and overcharge us. Their service and food did not worth that 20% fee. No wonder this place is empty on a Friday night. Ripped off.
Queso app, shrimp tacos and skirt steak were all excellent. However when the steak came out I was wondering where the rest of it went! My two margaritas tasted very different which was either due to different bartenders making the drink or just a lack of consistency. Fun time, somewhat too expensive for the amount

Wow! I just had my birthday party here of 14 people, and everybody raved! We did the pre-fixe menu for $65 a person (not including alcohol). For the money, we got SO much food and it was all delicious. 3 apps and 3 entrees + dessert. The drinks were flowing, strong, and the food was excellent. Especially do not miss the shrimp tacos and carne asada entrees! Everything served was fresh and fabulous. The service was fantastic and they made me feel so special on my birthday! They took such great care of my guests and I. They have great vegetarian options too for people to enjoy. We were not rushed at all and thoroughly were able to enjoy the evening. They even gave me a sparkler, which was so nice of them, and take great group photos! The vibes are also immaculate, especially in the evening! They also have a clubby bar downstairs with a DJ and the upstairs is a bit quieter (yet still lively) for dinner. I highly recommend this place for not only hosting a birthday, but for a nice dinner with friends or a significant other! Also probably great for corporate parties too. Thank you so much, Casa Bocado staff and chef, for making it a birthday to remember! - Sabrina

Margaritas were on point, every dish was excellent, possibly the best queso fundido we've ever had, friendly and attentive service, upscale yet casual vibe. My new favorite Mexican spot in Manhattan. Highly recommend. Will definitely come back soon!

Arrived at 10:45 for food, they close at midnight. Told the kitchen is closed. Unfortunate. If you don't want to honor your post an hours, then post the correct hours.... Close an hour early on a Friday night is ridiculous. That's too bad I was looking forward to it. there's a million choices in this city and they just lost theirs with me.

Very cool bar and ambiance didn't have good so can't really speak to that.
