Khalo is a modern take on a Mexican restaurant, leaning more toward Mexican-American fusion, and overall it’s a great spot. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The décor is stylish and trendy, and the music gives the place more of a club vibe than a traditional Mexican restaurant, which actually adds to the experience depending on what you’re looking for.
While the menu doesn’t offer traditional tacos, what they do have is flavorful and well-prepared. The drinks are on the overpriced side, but that’s to be expected for the location. Parking is definitely a challenge—typical New York—but despite that, the restaurant is absolutely worth the visit.
I’d recommend checking it out if you’re in the mood for a fun, modern twist on Mexican cuisine.

Kahlo is such a beautiful restaurant. The ambience and music is delightful. The food and drinks were delicious. My waiter Kevin was a true gentleman and scholar. He was so attentive and polite. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The guacamole(s) and tres leches cake are amazing -- the best in NYC I have tried over the years. The appetizers and main courses can rotate and there's often something new to try (with a few mainstays like the esquites and the steak). Their cocktails are also quite good, and different from many other places. The atmosphere is upscale casual, while also quirky and upbeat. It's hard to describe, but the overall uniqueness of Kahlo I think is what sets it apart from many other very-good-food places to eat in the area. (Including in Hudson Yards.)

Isabell gave us the best recommendations and service! Please ask for her when you go here.
Randomly found this restaurant while in NY and OMG the food was incredible! I ate the branzino and my husband had the steak and the potatoes. The guacamole was also fresh and fantastic. Peach salad was also very delicious. Overall this was delicious and worth the visit!

The food, drinks, and ambience were fantastic. The reviews that I read were spot on. The only downside was a large dinner party that was very noisy.
Delicious upscale Mexican menu. Our waitress, Andrea, was warm and very knowledgeable explaining the dishes. The ambiance is beautiful and tasteful. We'll be back soon.

Just finished a second visit that was every bit as good as the first. Vibe-y ambience with well-executed modern Mexican fare. The filet mignon with truffle is a splurge but totally worth it!

Great service. Great music. Delicious food. We came for lunch and they recently opened for brunch. The aguachile, tuna tostadas, gobernador tacos were standouts. But everything we ordered was good. There wasn’t a bad dish on the table.
