The sangria, margaritas and mojitos here are banging and their food will totally get the job done. Plus they have CHOLULA SAUCE and many other hot sauces. Not pricey either! :D
Rachel CaraballoJuly 23, 2014Cannot speak for the food, as I've yet to eat here, but the drinking experience is stellar. Genuinely friendly and interesting staff plus 20% of for NYU students!
Kam KornApril 14, 2013Food and Margaritas are AMAZING. Get there before 7 for the happy hour prices. Oh then run across the street to Thunder Jackson's and grab their shot of the day.
Miz BananaJune 18, 2011There is nothing wrong with this place. The service is great, music was great as well. But the food... The food was awesome. Highly recommend Bamboleo if you're in the mood for Mexican food :)
- The sangria and margaritas here are LEGIT amazing AND THEY HAVE CHOLULA SAUCE!!! Yesssss!!!!!
Kara TApril 29, 2015Spicy guacamole very spicy, happy hour sangria very happy! Both taste and price right on point.
I'm not sure why there is negative feedback, I think the place is awesome! Nachos with the works, and a picadillo burrito. Best combo ever!
Margot MazurJune 5, 2014A killer happy hour before 7. $15 HUGE sangria pitchers with free chips w salsa and guac. Will deeeefinitely be back
Love to sit just at the sidewalk because the people watching while dining & cocktailing honeyz it's cute next time join me
Karl With A "K"August 2, 2014Great burritos and terrific service. Be sure to ask for additional dipping sauces, though - they tend to be small.
Eddie R.August 18, 2013Nice little place with a nice vibe. try the burrito ranchero. Caution: the tres leche is sinful.
Rebecca BainMarch 15, 2011One of the few Mexican places that's not disgusting to Cali native. Actual flavor plus habanero sauce, corn tortillas and the allusive NYC tamale. (albeit as a special and chicken not pork. Still!)
Get the sangria, and if you like their page on facebook you get a free shot of tequila!
msMarch 12, 2015This place is a good time. The food is pretty standard but the people are great and it's got a certain kitschy charm
Janice RodriguezApril 6, 2013Really great deals here. $4 margaritas, $4 Sangrias, and $4 Mexican beers during happy hour. Happy hour runs from 3pm-7pm.
ShaJuanAugust 9, 2012The food is so good I want to eat more, but I'm stuffed! Did I mention the $5 margarita's! Yum!!!!!
Sumita GorlaJune 12, 2013Amazing people here. Ask them exactly what you are craving and you will have it!
Rio IppolitiJanuary 13, 2013Best margaritas in NYC!!! Xisco is the best!! The taco salads are also great!
Dan FerrisJune 1, 2010The steak dishes here are the best, if you can talk them into putting it on the house nachos it's one of the best go-tos on bleecker street
Dennise EdgertonFebruary 25, 2011Frozen passion fruit margaritas are the best! and the Elote is a great thing to eat if you feel like snacking!
Tyler ForsterDecember 8, 2011Come here for good margaritas by the pitcher and live music on Mondays and Wednesdays. The food is eatable.
Marco ZieroJanuary 6, 2011Great dinner (very good mojitos)! Eat a lot and spend 30$ (tip included). W/ live music. Really suggested!
Tina G.April 27, 2014It was ok. Enchiladas up north have nothin' on what you find in the south though :-/
