Stephanie NgMay 4, 2013Tacos = yum! Everything else = ok. Free (gasp!) ping pong in the back bar area.
Raja HMarch 14, 2013They may sound exciting, but you will absolutely be disappointed with the Crispy Pig Ears.
Lisa ParavanoJune 7, 2013The lamb naan taco is the bomb.. Decor is cool.. Too bad the service & wait staff is bottom of the barrel. Disappointing!
Aubrey CookJune 29, 2018We were stuck in the elevator for 35 minutes because they overcrowded it. The fire department had to come to get us out. NO ONE FROM THE BAR OR HOTEL ASKED US IF WE WERE OKAY.
Great food. Awesome ambiance. Ping ping table included :)
Gurdeep SinghMarch 23, 2014Tacos are decent nothing amazing. Ambiance is cool Incredibly overpriced and they charge for sauce which the waitress didn't tell us. But They did fix the bill to remove the charge which was nice.
Loes DeraedemaekerFebruary 23, 2016What a rip-off! The quality of the food was good, but the portion to price ratio was rediculous! They charge dinner prices for tapas portions. Loud environment, you can hardly hear your dinner partner
Angela MierApril 14, 2014The place is cute and the food and drinks are good, the staff is unfriendly and rude. There are too many restaurants/bars in NY to justify paying $15 a cocktail for someone to make you feel unwelcome.
Chris DDecember 27, 2012Everything was great except for the lamb taco...how you can serve something that salty and consider yourself a celebrity chef is confusing. Hands down one of the worst things I've ever been served.
Too many rules and waitresses and hostesses scolding you plus random rules and regulations. They need to relax.
Douglas ChambersJune 17, 2014Kitchen Closes from 5:00-5:30. Most lunch items not available after 4:00. Dinner not available until 5:30.
Alex RichardsJuly 30, 2015This place is like whatever.. They do however have a good bar, but the service is very shady.
