Nidhi KaySeptember 5, 2021Wow recommend blue shrimp, pork mole, soft shell gordita, corn meringue, amazing atmosphere excellent food
Lori LuoDecember 10, 2014Reservations are apparently booked out for the next two months. One bite of the Burrata with Salsa Verde or the Duck Carnitas, though, and you'll know why.
LukeFebruary 24, 2017Spectacular, refreshing takes Mexican cuisine that balance familiarity with clever surprises. Get the duck. Be a hero
James PazhavilaApril 28, 2018Eater 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
Jonathan PayneJanuary 13, 2019Enjoyed food. Enrique Olvera is famous in Mexico City for his unique place, Pujol. The price pt here isn’t commensurate to the food. 2nd time here and probably last. Small portions but expen$ive
Mischa LumiereFebruary 20, 2015Super trendy spot. Food was delicious. Definitely worth the wait. Wish I could try everything on the menu.
Anson WangAugust 8, 2017All you need is the duck carnitas and the husk merengue. Everything else is irrelevant.
Sagy MirandaJanuary 7, 2015Try Cabia Al Pastor pineapple, Lobster Pibil, and NY Strip shishitos, delicious!!
Mike McBryanNovember 20, 2014The mussels tostada, cobia al pastor and white bean salad were all hits. Chilaquiles was a miss. GET THE HUSK MERINGUE!- Stacy KimballJune 25, 2015Where's the double love button? Everything about this place is on point. But that duck tho...
MischaJune 12, 2016If management is reading, the secret of a great michelada is a really cold beer served in a cold glass, you should never add I've as this dilutes the flavors of the mix.
Mark HaysJanuary 15, 2015The husk merengue is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Uni tostadas and ny strip tacos also great.
- laurenMarch 4, 2015Skip the bland guac and go straight to the burrata & duck carnitas. Husk merengue is weird but so good if you like corn. Waiter will tell you it's a light meal but you'll leave so full. Solid Paloma.
Brenda CiukSeptember 29, 2016Duck carnitas and meringue are a must. Great place for authentic Mexican food with a small twist.
AmateurConciergeSeptember 13, 2015Great brunch offerings. Add an order of their fantastic fresh tortilla chips to your chicken chilaquiles
Jorge UrrutiaSeptember 8, 2015Duck Carnitas is the name of the game. Super tender, melt-in-your-mouth duck to make tacos with!
Kitt HodJuly 16, 2018Mindblowingly amazing, have the flat iron steak with the mole rojo for the best meal in NYC!
Colin LeeSeptember 1, 2018Get the duck carnitas during lunch - it’s half the price! Not crowded during lunch as well
Anthony GreenJuly 29, 2016The duck enmolados are excellent and the short ribs were insanely good. The gose michelada is genius.- Prad NelluruJuly 3, 2017The corn husk merengue is interesting, but not crave-worthy. I'd get the churros and chocolate if I were you.
E PJanuary 11, 2015The food is definitely overpriced for the portion size. Didn't leave feeling full. The Ninja cocktail was a favorite as were the cobia and scallops. Everyone recommended the corn meringue but ew.
MasApril 9, 2016Get - the - DUCK! Absolutely delicious! Next time I am just getting two of those for the table!
Anna Mulock HouwerJanuary 26, 2018Incredible food. Not sure why this restaurant doesn’t have a Michelin star or two.
EdAugust 8, 2017The duck is fantastic it is the ultimate comfort dish beautifully cooked and Well prepare
MSCApril 16, 2015Delicious! Burrata & Salsa Verde app and Anti Histamine cocktail were definite standouts.
Gunnar AasenMarch 1, 2015As you've likely heard, the duck carnitas and husk meringue are delicious. I completely agree.
Honghui YuNovember 29, 2016By far, the best Mexican restaurant in the city, though you'll certainly pay for it.
Upscale, very busy. They do walk-ins, but to be sure get a reservation. Great food!
Michelle GabeJune 25, 2015As a vegetarian the main dishes were meh but the husk and corn meringue dessert was AMAZE!!!
Kristen PeiranoJuly 12, 2015The scallop was delicious buy my guacamole and chips came out after all my other food
Ashley ChanJuly 23, 2017Large portions and creative Mexican fare. Sleek and buzzy interiors. Get the Octopus for sure! The duck carnitas are huge so be sure to share amongst 3/4. The uni tostadas were not memorable.
Tatiana MinaevaApril 20, 2019Astronomical prices for literally a tasting size menu. Was not impressed by the food. Desert was good and cocktails though
