The Corcoran GroupSeptember 20, 2013One of the cooler spots in Murray Hill, this Mexican joint serves up awesome short rib tacos and cocktails in a fun atmosphere. The tequila list is extensive, so do a tequila flight to sample a few.
I honestly love this place! The food here is the bomb if a little on the pricier side (speaking specifically for lunch menu). Short rib tacos are fab! Just need more patrons here; it's a stylish spot!
EchoDAAugust 31, 2012good food selection and great food portions, yum, nice funky lighting and decent decor. The voodoo child drink is pretty good and a great tequila selection ofcourse!
Amanda SchneiderOctober 25, 2014Try the Leyenda cocktail and mahi mahi tacos. Spicy cucumber margarita tastes like a green juice mixed with alcohol.
Anne-Marie MartinezApril 17, 2012Come for the tequila, the sexy women, great food, and music. It's the place to be after work! Every Tuesday @ 6
Mike CookeOctober 7, 2012Christa! The best bartender I've had In NYC tip her properly because she'll make sure you're stumbling out of the bar.
Gilt CityMarch 9, 2011Hibiscus-infused tequila, where have you been all our lives? The vibe here combined with a sexy interior will make you forget you're not in SoHo anymore.
JackieNovember 17, 2013Good food, margs and vibe but SO DARK. Could hardly read the menu without taking out my flashlight app to read it
Kris GeeJune 13, 2012The guiness braised short rib tacos are my favorite along with the mexican corn. I crave them.
MeganitHappen WApril 18, 2011Cannot go wrong with the Spicy Cucumber Margarita! The Evil Michelada is delicioso tambien! Food is in small portions! Snack attack, not dinner status...
Rishima PatelApril 23, 2011The mahi mahi is by far the best tacos! Try em! Ooo and the jalepeno cucumber margarita s ain't so shabby either
Carmen LaborinNovember 27, 2011I suggest coming here for drinks vs food. The menu is beautifully integrated but so far poorly executed... Planning on revenge and hoping to try at least another 4 dishes out & prove me wrong
Tim ShepardJanuary 7, 2014I'd only come for the happy hour drinks....Which are stronger-than-average. I wouldn't eat here or pay for their expensive food. I'd rather just go to BBQ's for that, which is what I did!
Stop by Monday nights from 7pm to 8pm for an open bar!!!- Carmen LaborinNovember 27, 2011By the way I'm Mexican and gourmand... So ask me for ideas or suggestions anytime ;)

Try a glass of Perrier Jouet champagne with the tuna tartare
Thomas SaloomeyJuly 25, 2012This place was over priced for some poor attempt at gourmet tacos. How can you charge 12$ for two mini tacos ?!??? That was an entree. That was just the food. Wait till you get a drink! Gross.
Shilpa RaghavanMarch 2, 2012Come prepared to wait...quite a while! Service no bueno! Food...greasy, but it could just be what we ordered!
Every time I come here the menu is the same but the food is different. Not in a bad way but not in a good way either...
