  1. The black bean soup was delish but my lobster quesadillas felt like they were dipped in grease.
  2. Also my friends from Mexico and the Southwest say that it is pretty authentic Mexican food compared to other Manahttan Mexican restaurants.
  3. Fast delivery and delicious food.
  4. suggest having the ribs, quesadillas, fajitas, and the shrimp tacos are delicious.
  5. After your meal, don't leave without eating the Fried Ice-C r e a m. May sound weird, but it is the BEST dessert they have!
  6. The fish tacos were wonderful!
  7. The food still tastes good but I'm sorry to say, I'm going to Mary Ann's or Mama Mexico from now on.
  8. This place is closer to what I call MexiCali cuisine, but hey, some of us like that!
  9. Sangria good, fruit tooo fresh, they did not soak it enough.
  10. Cheese enchilada were delicious especially if you are ALL about the queso!
  11. The food is really good and the highest price on the menu is $20.
  12. like Gabriela's, especially in the summer when you can sip on your margarita outside on their patio but they are REALLY not known for great quality food.
  13. The service is friendly and attentive, the food is fantastic (I love the chicken and my wife loves the Gabriela's salad), and the margaritas are incredible.
  14. The Honey glazed chipotle ribs are divine, the crust for the chicken empanadas are excellent, the quesadillas, the shrimp rellenas are just great.
  15. If you like NYC Mexican food, you will certainly like this place.
  16. The food is still very good and the service is fine.

Live Insect in my Salad!

by Upper West Side Girl at Citysearch

I found a LIVE insect in my salad. It was by far the most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed.

A few people around my table encoountered this and left.

The worse part was the Manager admitted she was aware of the problem and that she has been seeing alot of them in the kitchen.

No one should be eating at this place!

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Terrible Service and found a Live insect in my Salad

You could live on the apps alone!

by judysworldalways at Citysearch

This is a favorite restaurant of mine, one that my friends and I often end up staying in for hours until closing. Last night did not disappoint. You can live just off of the appetizers and the drinks alone! The Honey glazed chipotle ribs are divine, the crust for the chicken empanadas are excellent, the quesadillas, the shrimp rellenas are just great. You just can't go wrong getting the enchiladas or even the paella (full of chicken, pork, chorizo, mussels and clams) for a main course. The flavors will not disappoint and you will not leave hungry or broke. The atmosphere is wonderful for a modern Mexican feel. A must in the city!

  • Pros: Everything
  • Cons: Can't think of any

Not California, but pretty good...

by delirous at Citysearch

I had the chicken enchaldas and sangria. The rice was just ok... needs more flavor/season. Chips and Salsa was good. Sangria good, fruit tooo fresh, they did not soak it enough. It was good though. I would go back. I'm from Southern California, and it was very close to home...

  • Pros: Food, Good Date spot, clean and good service
  • Cons: Rice could be a bit more authentic.., price

Large Yumminess!

by nuna128th at Citysearch

From beginning to end this place was good! Went there with my partner ,she ordered the fish tacos, I ordered the cheese enchiladas, as appetizer we ordered the mushroom and cheese plate (forgot what it was called). The fish tacos were wonderful!!! Cheese enchilada were delicious especially if you are ALL about the queso! They are not shy with the portions. It was busy the night we went but the host (she was great!) still was composed and didn't mind that we didn't want to sit next to the door but remembered us even after she was running a list (super sweet). Our server was busy but tried his hardest and another server helped him out by taking our order, this hardly happens in the city. I have no complaints. We even had dessert. This place is closer to what I call MexiCali cuisine, but hey, some of us like that!

I rate this place two hard nipples (even a third, including my partner's) with no ice cube in sight.

  • Pros: food, nice people, good service
  • Cons: none
