I cannot say enough good things about Tampico Tequila Bar in the Lower East Side! We celebrated my wife’s golden birthday here, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. Joe and Mark were phenomenal hosts—they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our event. They even let us go all out with decorating our section, which added a personal touch to the celebration.
The venue was the perfect size for our group, creating an intimate yet lively atmosphere. The staff were super friendly, always ready to assist with our questions and requests, and made sure we had everything we needed. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made our night unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a place to host a private event, I highly recommend reaching out to Joe and Mark at Tampico Tequila Bar. It was truly a 10/10 experience, and we’ll definitely be back!
This should capture your positive experience perfectly!
Love love love! This place has great drinks and great staff! Unfortunately the kitchen had closed when I went to visit but the bartender suggested other great places in the area for food. I tried the mojitos while my partner went for the jalapeño margarita. Both were great! Music was nice and the bartender was attentive .

I can’t recommend this place enough. I recently hosted a birthday party at Tampico. Usually, hosting events in Manhattan is extremely difficult, but Tampico made it so easy.
The staff is wonderful. The food and drinks are delicious. Whether you’re coming in for a bite/ drink or hosting an event, this is an amazing spot.

Tampico has hosted several parties for me varying in size from 5-50 people. They are incredibly accommodating and helpful when choosing party menus and will tailor food platters to meet your party’s needs. The food is delicious and everyone especially loves the mini tacos at our events. The open bar options are perfect for larger parties, and the service is impeccable- no one is ever standing around waiting to be served! I recommend adding the margaritas to the open bar package because everyone loves them. The east bar is my personal favorite because your party has a private space with its own bar with no additional fee. On Saturdays the DJ is fantastic and really knows how to play the crowd. Make sure to check out the Frida bathroom on the main floor, and the tequila cage in the back! It’s a beautiful space and the perfect place to host a private party or a small group for food and margaritas!
Vegetarian options: Vegetable fajitas are AMAZING!
I recently held my goodbye party at Tampico NYC and I couldn't be happier with the service and thoughtfulness of the team! The reservation (no minimum spend, no fee) is such a rarity in NY, and our bartender Aura was absolutely amazing with her thoughtfulness and attentiveness. We were allowed to order pizza from a nearby place (the kitchen was closed the day I held my party), the drinks were very yummy/well-prepared, and Aura made sure we were doing well all through the evening (and checked in on me multiple tiimes). The different spaces within the restaurant allow for different vibes, so I feel that they could accommodate for different types of parties! Thank you again, team!

Friendly service but lousy drinks. Didn't get food. Bonus Atmosphere star for showing old black & white Mexican vampire vs wrestler movies.

It's a chill bar for a drink. Food choice is lacking a bit.

Fantastic private party experience! Aura and Joe were fantastic hosts. We will definitely be back!
Denied entry because the bouncer, who was looking pretty lazy and a little bit drunk for a Wednesday night at 1:15am, said they were closed, even though the tv's were on and the bar had at least 10 people inside.

I loved this place. I spent a few days in NYC, from Toronto, and this bar was near my hotel. I ended up going everyday for drinks. Aura, the bartender, is very charming and a pro, makes you feel welcome right away. Great atmosphere and location. Will be back for sure. Highly recommended

Joe, Aura, and the whole Tampico team are awesome! We had a party here with about 40-50 people and they were so accommodating and kind throughout the planning process and service, food, drinks and atmosphere couldn’t have been better.They did not charge us a minimum, ran separate tabs for everyone, allowed us to hang decorations, use our own playlist, and rename some of the drinks on their menu to fit our goofy theme. They thought of things I wouldn’t have— like staggering when the food came out, and storage space for everyone’s things.We are so grateful and can’t wait to come back!!!
