Sleepy BrowneJuly 22, 2013A great Mexican spot in WilliamsBurg Brooklyn.The setup is cute and there's no bad tables.The service was exceptional.
- Sleepy BrowneDecember 4, 2015The Pollo Oaxaca was amazing and I told you the Mofongo Criollo was mouth watering and for your appetizer the Pinion Is Exceptionally good.
Gilt CitySeptember 26, 2011In between rides, patrons indulge in delightfully strong margaritas, minty frozen mojitos and signature pineapple tequila shots, plus snacks like cactus salad and plantains with garlic shrimp.
Lou The ChefOctober 5, 2013Fridays is the best night here! Hands down! Live radio broadcast on Univision Radio X96.3FM each & every Friday playing top 40 along w/ the best Latin music!
Julian ModestoDecember 6, 2014Let me paint you a picture. They THOROUGHLY pat you down for weapons. Inside, it's smoky and loud, with banging remixed salsa music. Bottle service is Johnnie Walker Black Label. You should leave.
Marc JonesApril 25, 2016Great service and very good food. Make sure to make a reservation through Open Table for weekend dining
Kathleen VargasDecember 6, 2015I haven't tried their food but have been to the club and it's super fun!! The dj play a great variety of music
The Corcoran GroupAugust 17, 2010Sign your life away, take a shot of tequila and take a ride on the mechanical bull. It’s really something you should do at least once in your life.
Jennifer Padilla-HowardJuly 24, 2013Nice place to go for an undercover date night, with your girls or just to chill. They have a mechanical bull so ladies lets go! Lol
Michelle PerrottMay 19, 2013So...not sure where these strobe lights someone complained about are..Im here now ...No strobe lights at all...:/...Maybe too many sangrias (yummy btw) for that girl ??
Mandee RiveraDecember 21, 2013Had a girls night here. Amazing food & bulldogs, $5 mechanical bull rides, & great Spanish music. Loved it
Stephanie RodriguezMarch 24, 2012Love this place. Try the strawberry mojito. But the aggressive busser needs to stop trying to remove plates w/food. Ride the bull!!!!
Steve LiverpoolAugust 25, 2012The drinks were on point, the wait staff is quick to pick up your drink if you put it down. $5 for a Bull ride, Come on, Manhattan is FREE with no lines.
Krista CasseseApril 29, 2013Fun atmosphere, great food and drinks. Had an awesome time. Will definitely be back:)
Adam TompkinsJuly 26, 2010So far, this place is great. Great margarita special. Good to very good flautas. They just opened... Christ! I don't know about the "Guido" comment. Sounds like hipster noise.
Gary WestbyJune 1, 2011Flautas to die for. Tacos in my to 5 for NYC. Everyone should come and come often so they can lower the cost.
ᴡ LizJuly 20, 2014avoid this place at night 20 dollar cover and It's small tacky no real dance floor just to have sub par drinks and security flashing lights in you eye. Oh and this is a very ghetto crowd.
- Julian ModestoDecember 6, 2014First consider the cover charge of $10 girls & $20 guys, then add the mandatory $4 coat check
Ashley RudolphJanuary 27, 2015Ride the bull and don't fall off. If you're going to be boring, don't ride the bull.- mike dibenedettoOctober 26, 2011They play horrible loud dance music during dinner and they inexplicably blow fire horns when people ride the mechanical bull. Does not make for good dinner atmosphere. Bummer because the food is good
- ᴡ LizMay 18, 2014Security is rude people are mostly ghetto plus it's overcrowded and it's a cockfest. But if your drunk and willing to pay a stupid 20 dollar cover plus 5 for the bull then fine. But I'll say avoid.
Bernice StevensJuly 23, 2013Looks appetizing but tastes like rubber. After eating this dish, I suffered from my first EVER allergic reaction to any food. ER Doc said it was a bad batch /uncleaned shrimp. Avoid it!
Abbey HesserJanuary 30, 2011Free mimosas and bloody mary's during Sunday brunch with any food purchase!!
ShannonAugust 7, 2010Really spacious, friendly staff, far enough off Bedford to be enjoyable and... a mechanical bull to boot.
KaylaFebruary 11, 2013Constant strobe lights even on a Sunday night. Salsa was a paste, chips were cold and stale. Do not go here, there are 100 other amazing restaurants within blocks
jtaggJuly 7, 2010Do NOT eat here !!!!!!!! Get drunk and ride the bull, that is about all it's worth welcome to a guidos paradise
Jason LaFrenaisJuly 23, 2010Umm, happy hour only at the bar? WTF is that about? I want to drink and eat at te same time!
GG GonzalezJune 14, 2014Terrible service. Charged for drinks we didn't get. Fish tacos were not very good. Plantains were excellent, though.
Benjamin PalmerMay 22, 2011RIDICULOUSLY SLOW SERVICE. Food still hasnt arrived 100 minutes after ordering. ????
