Chelsea RuschJuly 20, 2013Wonderful neighborhood gem! Happy hour is the way to go if you're in the mood for a marg/sangria. Staff is so welcoming and sweet. Definitely going back to try the food, everything looked awesome!
Clara SanchezJanuary 9, 2014Really lively & delicious Mexican on the UES, perfect for happy hour / celebrations. Recommend the homemade guacamole, fresh strawberry margaritas, fajitas (portion feeds two), & tilapia tacos
Happy hour at the bar is great. Jumbo margarita (with chili salt) for $10 til 7. Guac is made table side and your can never go wrong with the fajitas.
Lisa FJanuary 10, 2018Cozy Mexican restaurant with the Best mezcal margaritas, wonderful tableside guacamole and fantastic loaded fajitas with shrimp, sausage, steak and chicken.
Kristina BarkoMay 11, 2013Very impressed with this new restaurant/bar on the UES. Food looks fresh and delicious (UES needed a good Mexican spot!) and service was fast and friendly.- Tracey ChurrayOctober 12, 2013Absolutely the best Mexican on the UES. Great prices, amazing service and strong drinks. Come here get the mole and enjoy your night.
Audrey TolbertMarch 18, 2014Tell the wait staff that it's your birthday and the owner will run around the entire restaurant pouring tequila shots in everyone's mouths. That's my kind of Mexican restaurant.
Cristina ChewningAugust 18, 2013This place is amazing! Service was like a 5 star restaurant. They even have us free shots after our meal. Will definitely be coming back soon.
Sara TuckerAugust 30, 2013All of our dinner was really fresh- everything, guacamole, spinach and mushroom quesadilla and sides. Grilled skirt steak very tender and flavorful.
Russell HirschornFebruary 13, 2014Food and service is great! Table-side Guac, Enchiladas Suizas and Al Pastor Tacos will definitely satisfy but will cost you.
Jose SantiagoSeptember 1, 2013Great brunch atmosphere...mimosas pour like a waterfall...even better is the food...my fav plate - Tacos Al Pastor.
Kimmie OhhSeptember 28, 2019The have tableside guacamole. Order a guacamole margarita, red sangria & tacos al pastor.

Gabriel PozoFebruary 26, 2020Guac is authentic. Steak plato/tacos/fajitas amazing. Tequila list is robust.
Robin SpindelSeptember 22, 2013Delicious and very warm staff -- highly recommend for local Mexican go-to restaurant
Aly H.January 15, 2014The tacos al pastor were delicious, as was the red sangria, which came in a large mason jar.
Margaret BristolJune 11, 2013Finally some quality Mexican on the UES. It's reasonably priced and they managed to master the proper guacamole to chip ratio so you aren't stuck ordering more.
James W.July 6, 2013The Ceviche was amazing. And my friends' dishes were good too, they said. Def reco.
$5 margaritas during happy hour.. Try the guacamole and the tortilla soup! Arriba
Lisa KesslerNovember 6, 2013Try the guac! It's fantastic, and they make it in front of you, true Breaking Bad style.
HeyHayleyJaneJanuary 21, 2014Great guacamole and steee-rong margaritas. Food is more expensive than foursquare's $ rating though.
Guac was just okay. Everything else was excellent -- especially the house margaritas.
- Anastasia BezverkhaFebruary 5, 2015Very bad food last time was here. 25$ for 4 tiny tacos that had frozen seafood, no seasoning, and no garnish what's so ever. COME ON! At least give urself a favor and justify ur cost. Awful
