    Excellent Tex-Mex for those of us who miss the real deal. Great queso, margaritas and my fajitas were right on. Give it a shot, good stuff.

    Homesick Southerners, rejoice! Queso has finally arrived in New York City. This month we're adding this Hell’s Kitchen spot to the list of queso joints. It’s a good time for Tex-Mex enthusiasts. Read more

    I got the Pablo deluxe combo. The enchiladas were great. The puffy taco was bad. The tortilla tasted stale. Never had such a thing but I had high hopes for it. Rice and beans are the real deal.

    New Tex-Mex restaurant. Filing entrée portions. Go for the cocktails & sit at the bar. Definitely has potential.

    Large dining areas, so tables aren't on top of each other. My Dirty West cocktail was tasty (like an Old Fashioned), and my tampiqueña was perfectly seasoned and cooked, while smaller than I expected.

    Snag one of the tequila-based cocktails that are a hallmark of most Tex-Mex spots while you wait for a seat, then order the chili con queso. Read more

    After two hours, my $11 "hand-crafted" nachos finally came. Probably should have stayed home with a bag of Tostitos and shredded cheese.

    The truest Tex Mex food experience in NYC. I thought being on a paleo diet was a terrible idea here, but I ordered the beef fajita (without the bread) and it was DELICIOUS

    Food: very good. Drinks: very good. Service: average. Atmosphere: strange. There was a mix of sports bar, bachelorette party and karaoke... In a restaurant. Had a groupon and it's just down the street

    Finally, a place with a real michelada to wash down amazing queso

    The space would work better as a big sports bar with tvs everywhere. Business lunches and happy hour feel more right here than sitting down to dinner.

    The spinach and mushroom enchilada is spicy but still good

    Such wasted potential. Adequate tex mex, but with an absurd markup. $19 for average chicken enchiladas is unacceptable, especially with so many other options in the city. Simply not worth the price.

    Fine but overpriced. 2 entrees and 2 margaritas came to $80

    Honestly... Not that great. I was extremely disappointed. A lot of hype for nothing. If you're looking for authentic Tex-Mex, try Javelina Tex-Mex in Gramercy.

    Kahvaltı sıradandı, ama servis görevlileri çok ilgili. Lezzete göre fiyatları biraz pahalı.
