Shout out to Adrian and Charley who went above and beyond for us. So many drinks are made with housemade liquors and natural ingredients. Everything is made to order and tasted fresh, flavorful and yummy. Highly recommend the hibiscus freeze and naval margarita. The green tea shots I could have ten more too. The guacamole and house made chips outstanding. Big amount. The shrimp cocktail was better than anywhere in the USA. Big juicy shrimp in a sauce with buttery crackers and fresh avocado. The vegetarian quesadillas and tacos delicious. The corn toro are so tasty you can taste the corn. All the hot sauce and sauces are house made. Everything is made to order. The steak frite my friend loved. This is nyc at its best. A. Jungle modern speakeasy in the heart of Chinatown.

I walked to this bar after crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, just looking to grab a quick drink before heading back. I'm from New Mexico and new to the city, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Charlie was my server and he was absolutely amazing—so kind and welcoming. As someone new to NYC, it really meant a lot to feel so at home. Highly recommend!

Lovely place except their seats. The bar seats are tiny and no back support. Everything is good except that.

The food was very lackluster. The birria tacos were very oily and flavorless. The guac was just mashed up avocado - no lemon juice, no salt, again no flavor. The wings were particularly bad. Everything else I could add hot sauce, sour cream, salt, or lime juice to improve the overall flavor, but those wings could not be salvaged. Very oily, and so incredibly bland. Those I had to send back. The ranch had an odd flavor as well. They did remove that order from the tab which I appreciate.
The drinks however are delicious. I got the sugarcane mojito and really loved it. It’s a bit on the sweeter side but it’s so good. My favorite thing that I ordered all night.
The servers are very nice, attentive enough. Overall the place is ok.

I love this hidden gem. It is very quiet. The drink are perfect, not too strong but not soft either. Great music. 10/10 atmosphere.

First of all I would like to start off with the food. The food was absolutely disappointing... One the chicken thigh sandwich was not even made of real chicken, I think it was artificial?? But the Chicken wings really taste like chicken so that's something you would want to get if you're feeling chicken. Also if you're getting a burger make sure to not ask for sauté onions, they look super slimy and gross. Their atmosphere I have to give it to them, it looked really good! It was nice and clean. Now their service was very disappointing, they only had two waitresses and they took forever!!! It took literally 30 minutes to eat, and if you get a drink NEVER get the Sprite. The soda machine was definitely not working, and the sodas were flat. Also the sweet teas taste like a watered down tea. Not even sugar helps, and lastly the place was completely empty (probably on how bad the service was). This was my family and i's experience, if you decide to eat there just see for yourself. Enjoy??

Dont judge a book by its cover. Ambience of dive bar. Shockingly great food. I had fried chicken sandwich which was really good. Better than most "top 10" chicken sandwiches I've had from around town. Buddy had a burger that looked good and he said was great. Only complaint was we could of used more fries. I gave my friend the option to go somewhere else more upscale looking when we got there, but we both decided to try anyways based on reviews. We will go again for sure. We also went at 3.00p on a Friday so it was rather quiet and slow which was great to chat.

Great dishes includes Tuna Tostadas, Fish Tacos, Divorced Enchilada and Ropa Vieja.

Stopped in to hangout for a bit and have dinner at the bar. Ordered the aguachile ceviche. Was quite good; a little spicy, extremely generously-portioned. Could easily split this with another person. I could not finish the main plate myself.
