Totally reinventing the wheel each dish is revolutionary. Absolutely the best Mexican fusion not to mention your dinner experience will feel like an amazing eye opener.

modern take on mexican cuisine. Lotta veggie options. Dig their take on an ol fashioned (with duck fat aka bullet ol’ fashioned?!)
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenFebruary 27, 2015
Expat martini was aromatic and delicious, pickled tomatillo for the win! Smoked cobia and the duck carnitas were great. Unique wine program is an unexpected surprise!

The Husk Meringue with Corn Mousse is the showstopping, most Instagrammed dessert of 2015 — a gorgeously crushed pastry oozing sweet corn cream — is eerily tasty in all the right ways. Read more

Great for lunch, brunch or dinner. Dinner: they suggest sharing 6 courses for 2. I'd say 4 to 5 are enough especially if you get the duck carnitas and the meringue. Brunch: BEST HUEVOS RANCHEROS EVER!

Longtime gluten abstainers know that Mexican food is usually a friendly option, and this upscale, contemporary spot is no exception. You'll find uni-avocado tostadas and duck carnitas. Read more

Unfortunately, several notches below any of the Olvera places in Mexico. The mole is top notch, but the more original creations dare too much and achieve too little.
harryhJune 16, 2018
A little on the $$ side, but it's fantastic modernist mexican cuisine unlike anything you've probably had.
Marie RicherDecember 31, 2016
Corn husk meringue & duck carnitas! Delicious restrained inventive Mexican. 👌🏻
Adam BardNovember 15, 2014
Regardless of reservations as per previous tip, it's all artfully prepared with perfect ingredients. Duck was a standout for taste and value. Service was good and expertly informed.
Zii HammadJanuary 7, 2016
Very hip but comfortable spot. Duck carnitas are much more filling and delicious than the rest of the menu, but everything here's tasty! 3 dishes to 2 people.
Caroline SchulweisJanuary 28, 2015
Great, trendy ambiance, and very spacious. Delicious guacamole and uni tostadas.
Mallie TJanuary 3, 2017
Unique flavors, fun plates to share. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable, and it was fun to hear about the Obamas visit!
L. Q.August 17, 2019
If this dinner would have costed half the price, it would still be expensive. Don’t get me wrong: the dishes are ok- but nothing justifies their price. The pros: great cocktails and the corn merengue.
Seline JungMay 19, 2016
Been here 10+ times
Crazy pricey but the flavors are WOW. They recommend 3 dishes per person for a full meal but it's more like 2 or 1 for a light meal. My party of 5 shared 8 dishes and it was too much.
Shirin SalernoFebruary 16, 2016
One of the most amazing meals! Cobia Tacos, Steak and Octopus are must haves. Save room for the meringue dessert. You will thank me.
Elaine CourtneyAugust 1, 2015
Reason why the duck carnitas will rock your palate: the crispy duck skin that lends a smoky, savory depth to the carnitas! And it's pretty large for 2, too!
John VaghiAugust 31, 2018
Duck carnitas...outrageously overpriced, although the husk meringue is a near perfect dessert. Aesop soap and inexplicable bathroom pay phones round out the experience.

Cosme is definitely going downhill after the pandemic. Even the signature duck became dry. Corn husk meringue is still a must.
suneelMarch 21, 2015
you had no idea how much you loved corn until you came here. the uni and bone marrow tostada, duck carnitas, and husk meringue are killer.
Kathia CruzJanuary 15, 2019
It’s a great place to taste good and modern Mexican food. Cobia and duck carnitas are amazing plates
Mikahla VicinoAugust 25, 2017
The lamb carnitas were well worth it & the merengue is definitely the way to go for dessert.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzFebruary 27, 2015
Very impressive place, great presentation. Duck carnitas, uni and rubbed steak are great. The meringue dessert is fantastic as well.
Victoria WongJune 10, 2015
All food and drinks exceeded my expectations! Given the reputation I had high expectations too. One of my new favorite places in town
JavierDecember 30, 2016
Cobia al pastor is outstanding. If you are ordering duck carnitas be aware it's going to be a lot of food even for three people, but really worth it.
Ernesto GutierrezSeptember 20, 2015
Trendy setting. Duck carnitas is the way to go. Cobia al pastor was good. Skip the NY strip for tacos, beef is not juicy enough for tacos.
Rachel RFebruary 19, 2017
Tlayuda is a delicious plate perfect for sharing. Husk meringue and corn mousse is a must try!
Leo YanesMay 13, 2016
The place is amazing, but go with an open mind - don't expect typical Mexican food. Expect GOOD Mexican food but with a gourmet twist.
Michael VagnettiMay 24, 2016
Crack into the husk meringue (made from burnt, blended corn husks). It's a delicately sweet/savory pod filled with a mousse of cream, sugar and mascarpone.
Prad NelluruJuly 3, 2017
The huevos rancheros are a blast of spicy, rich flavor. Easily the best I've had, and I'm from Texas.
Premshree PillaiJanuary 30, 2015
Incredible inventive modern Mexican food, similar in philosophy to Pujol, the chef's flagship in Mexico City. You're not going here for the guacamole.
AmateurConciergeAugust 12, 2017
Food is very good, as per my previous posts but they've continued to jack the prices and now it's completely unreasonable. Go to Atla instead and pay half
Lisa ParavanoDecember 17, 2016
Impeccable space & design, amazing service & very innovative food.. but outrageously priced. Def best enjoyed on an expense account 👌🏽
ᴡ ElliotAugust 23, 2016
The bean salad and branding pair nicely. The guac is among the best in the city, and the interior is beautiful. Great spot to take clients.
Amanda RellaJuly 6, 2017
Have been many times. Food is good and consistent but service is always disappointing. Order the cobia al pastor and husk meringue - you won't be disappointed.
Eduardo HolguinDecember 13, 2015
Come with a reservation because the hosts are douchey. The food was amazing (try the Duck) and our bartender, Alexis was awesome.
Micah ChilesFebruary 16, 2015
Large private room in the back sat 14 easily. Loved the duck carnitas and merengue corn desert. Will definitely be back
Cameron GidariJune 29, 2016
The duck carnitas are delicious, very moist and flavorful, but a little overpriced for what they are. The calamari is very unique and a must get.
Eric HoMay 30, 2017
The Mole is legendary. Follow me on Instagram @EricHoRaw for more food tips!
Jaclyn RMarch 13, 2019
Delicious food but ok service. Come here with a corporate card. Don’t miss the corn and mushroom tlayuda
Jean MarieNovember 15, 2014
The Cuba is the best Cuba libre I've tried. It's a new restaurant I met a friend at but didn't eat, but I've seen and heard great things.
Haneen 💍October 31, 2016
Wanna try some foods you know just with a twist! Challenge your taste buds and indulge your senses with joy!

Great laid back vibe cosmic food every dish we had was amazing the butter nut squash was the standout
Kevin SkobacMarch 9, 2016
Epic meal- every dish was innovative and flavorful. Come hungry and with friends so you can try a variety.
Chad HornerJanuary 11, 2016
for many, this'll be nothing like any Mexican food you've had before. come prepared to order a bunch of small plates (and spend a lot of $$$)
James PazhavilaApril 28, 2018
Eater NYC’s 18 Best Splurge Meals cobia al pastor. For a more affordable experience, consider brunch when Cosme serves its best dish, a giant lamb barbacoa
Cynthia LinFebruary 11, 2017
Proof that one of the best restaurants in the city can have some of the nicest people too! Duck mole and husk meringue!
Natalia CmAugust 27, 2015
Duck carnitas are amazing. Portions are not as small as people are saying. Excellent service. Pricey for what it is and not up to Pujol's level, but still worth it.
Jason BrewJune 7, 2015
Really loved the brunch here. The duck mole and chilaquiles were especially good
Andres MillanJuly 11, 2018
Amazing. A must in NY. Try the Duck CArnitas and the fish al Pastor. Really really good.
