“Atmosphere was great and I dug their music selection. Service was kinda slow but not terrible. The food was just ok, however the salsa was phenomenal. Tacos were large with lots of protein but the flavor profiles didn’t really do much. I liked the cherry sherry cocktail. I’m giving 4 because there was nothing that had me wanting to come back AND the tables were all WAY too close to each other, which is really a pet peeve.It might have been the vibe of the place or maybe just personal style, but the waiter had a ripped tee shirt that I suppose could have been fashionable but it really just looked homely and bad.“

“I stopped by for drinks around 7pm on a Saturday with some friends. Thankfully there was a table available and we were seated right away. Bosco's has an extensive drink menu, and happy hour if you go during certain times on weekdays. The drinks were average NY prices, and were very good. I got the Sam Said So, while my friend got a Negroni. Both were very good! The service was great, and the decor was fun.“

“Ive been here a couple of times and as a LA native, this place definitely makes tacos that remind me of home. There is only outdoor seating so I would keep that in mind if you plan on visiting during colder weather. But The tacos were delicious and I got way more queso and chips than I was expecting. They were sold out the last time I stopped by so that should give you a good idea of the quality of the food.“

“We came here on the recommendation of a friend and even with her glowing review, we were still blown away! Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were a steal. Our family had the truffle quesadillas, the carne asada tacos, and the langosta tacos. We shared an order of guac and the kids had the flan and churros for dessert. Great dinner; we can't wait to return!“

“There are 3 pillars to a good Mexican restaurant - delicious drinks with a punch, perfectly crunchy chips, and a lively atmosphere. This place hits it all, every time. I've been coming here for years and this place is a staple for my family. Always delicious food, great service, and STRONG frozen margaritas. They also have a younger happy hour crowd, so great for family dinner or a pre-game to a night out. You won't regret coming here!“

(Really, you only need one but you should have more ?) The downstairs is chill with spanish music and the upstairs is fun for dancing and happy hour specials. This place is a must visit. Consistently good? ??☺️“

“Great food at a good price for NYC. Small place to sit, there's only a handful of stools by the window... There is also an outside dining space. Burrito, taco, quesadilla... Solid options.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available.Dietary restrictions: Not as readily available, you may want to call ahead and ask.Parking: Very hard to find parking. Take the subway or walk.Kid-friendliness: Best for take out or sit outside.Wheelchair accessibility: Delivery or takeout maybe better.“

“Look No Further For Your Tex Mex Fix than Javelina . Frozen Margaritas , Lone Star , Yellow Queso , Fajitas and the list goes on . Everything hit the mark for us . The tortilla chips are pure perfection . Just the right thickness & not greasy . Our only suggestion would be to put some Texas sports or any kind of sports for that matter on the TV . Having Bob Ross on the set didn’t fit the atmosphere . When we asked we were told they weren’t aloud to put on sports ; Nevertheless , Service was good & there are a few tables outside too . Btw there’s another location on 18th if you are down that way . Ya’ll enjoy them both .“

“The food is good and the delivery is great. You can except your food to be delivered quickly. The only thing is that the women who takes your order over the phone doesn’t speak or understand English. My orders are always wrong. Either she forgets to pack my sodas or I’m missing things. Make her repeat your order always!!“
