“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“Carnitas Ramirez is one of the most authentic taco spot I tried on the East Coast. We went there on a Saturday night and tried six different type of meats, all flavorful and melting in the mouth, with a special mention for the crispy pork belly. Do not hesitate to try the most unusual cuts! These are among the most surprising and delightful one.“

“bartenders were all nice you can tell they enjoy what they do!“

“They have the best tacos and burritos“

“It was a surprise to find this little restaurant in Harlem. There were no tables, and we took the last two seats at the bar. While we waited, I surprisingly felt at home. The aroma of the food, the care with which Karina prepared each of the dishes, and the kindness and joy they served us. By the time our table was ready, we didn't want to take it anymore; we ate much more than we planned to order because we didn't want to miss out on their delicious food. I have dietary restrictions, and I was surprised to see that everything from the exquisite tortillas to the delicious tres leches dessert was prepared right there, gluten-free and preservative-free. I hope to return soon.“

“This place exceeded my expectations. The food arrived hot and fresh, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, Taqueria on Tenth offers a great dining experience with authentic flavors and excellent value.“

“Delicious and unique items available on the menu. The staff, food, and environment and overall experience were 10/10. Definitely check it out!“

“We had an incredible meal here. The food was delicious, the service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance was very enjoyable. The space was decorated in a very fun and festive way which makes it a little bit of an escape from the city. The ribeye tacos were delicious and were half off because of the Friday special. The plantains are also a must have side. They have frozen margaritas in rotating flavors and the mago one was delicious. We ended the meal with some churros and dipping sauces and left full and happy.“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“Très bon restaurant, le personnel est chaleureux et très attentionné ☺️ j’ai adoré mon repas 🤤🤤“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Really good for a quick bite, took a little bit too long for two small tacos in a quick bite situation and I’m not sure it’s the best vibe for like a sit down nice dinner, but it’s really good for take out. They also have really good margaritas.“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“I couldn’t get a picture of anyone’s food since we all dug in right away but the food here is amazing! We had their Birria tacos, a steak meal and a steak fajitas meal—chef’s kiss! They were very kind, welcoming and family oriented here. The place is small, I will say, it’s way smaller than I expected but nonetheless, we were quickly seated and the music was good the entire time. This was a memorable experience , thank you!“

“So delicious and authentic! Wonderful service :)“

“Excellent food good portions and great drinks it was great from start to finish Ava was attended and friendly nothing but good vibes would definitely come back again.“

“After 13 years living in new york, Kahlo remains one of our all-time favorites. It's fine-dining while still feeling accessible and warm. The food and drinks are outstanding, and consistent every visit. The interior is one of my favorites in the whole city, very instagram friendly! Don't miss the truffle esquites, the black garlic guacamole, or the fulang chang cocktail.“

“Stumbled across Carla after wandering around the area and decided to check it out. SO happy we did because Eric, our server, was hands down one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. It was a great experience and everything from the food to the drinks was incredible! Will definitely be back soon!“

“Playa Betty's has great tasting tacos and the staff and atmosphere is awesome! ❣️ frm:🇯🇵🇺🇸“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“I cannot sing the praises of this place and the staff enough! We had a long day at the museum and we were all starving and the kids were very cranky. We took forever trying to find a place that they would all find something to eat at but that place didn't work out so we came here not realizing how lucky we were. After having a quick glance at the menu I realized two of my children would probably not eat anything. Two of the ladies that work there helped us work it out to piece together a meal for them with components they already have. It took quite a while figuring everything out but they were patient and helpful. The food was outstanding and the cocktails and mocktails were phenomenal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular place for me. Highly recommend!“

“Love the place,love the service and the lobster tacos 🌮 were amazing.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Great Maxican restaurant in lower east side. Friendly service, busy. Large portions for us Europeans. Had the spicy prawn sliders which was like a large prawn roll in a spicy tomato soup. Too much bread for me. Then had fish tacos ( both were starter courses). Too much for me but excellent. Nice cocktails too“

“Tequila, the food and of course, Amanda!“

“this restaurant's food quality is too good“

“I came to Casa Carmen because I absolutely love the food here. I was shopping in SoHo today and completely forgot to make a reservation, but the host went above and beyond to find a table for two—even on the day of Mexico’s 2026 World Cup match. I also tried several new dishes that I had never ordered before, and they were absolutely delicious. Every visit feels like a new and memorable experience. Thank you for always making me want to come back!“

“Food and service were great! All the dishes were good. I loved the scallop seasoned with avocado and soy sauce.

Everything else starts to taste the same lol although very delicious. They’re all very citrus based and the seasonings taste similar.

If u come before 630 on a weekday there’s not wait“

“Carlos, I believe his name was, he was amazing and kept the food and drinks coming!! I’ve been to a lot of different places where they offer bottomless every thing but, this is DEFINITELY the best place to go! Ask for, Carlos.. (I came up for a wedding and a birthday and I ended up have the best time ever)“

“went to the west 43rd street location in Manhattan. huge portions and excellent food“

“Loved this spot! Great food and service!“

“Comida súper autentica, deliciosa, sabrosa y los precios súper accesibles! 100% recomendado“

“My wife and I celebrated our 35th anniversary here last night. The entire experience was amazing. The peking duck caritas were outstanding. The service was excellent and it was the best mexican food we have ever had hands down! Recommend the Corn Husk Meringue for dessert. Also had a fantastic mezcal margarita (X2). Will definitely visit again. Price was $$$ but we felt it was worth it.“

“Tiny but don’t sleep on this place. It’s sensational!!!“

“I’m visiting New York on vacation and came here after seeing several TikTok videos about this restaurant. It definitely lived up to the hype! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. Franco took great care of us throughout our visit—he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The hostess Lorena was also incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere, the food, and the customer service were all exceptional. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
