Matt FApril 20, 20132 ppl out of 4 got sick after eating here. This might be the most overrated place on earth. Terrible service. $20 mediocre Mexican food because there's Buddha prints on the walls? Why is this popular?
Nick WaltersJanuary 9, 2011We love Irene, Christina, Charles and the rest of the BC crew. You guys are the best
David HuJanuary 6, 2014Not really sure what's chino about this place but the fish tacos are pretty good (little small for a meal though)
Best margaritas in manhattan. Habanero is great if you can handle the heat.
Stefanie SchusselOctober 10, 2010That habanero margarita is VERY spicy. Mole enchiladas equal amazing.
Hayden CourtlandJune 11, 2010Get the Grapefruit Margarita *with* brown sugar on the lip of the glass. It's delightful!

"Already one-upped Pipa in my book. Favorites were the mussels with chorizo, fish tacos and the halibut. Go with a group of people so you can try more dishes..."
