What People Are Saying About Los Dados

The Scene – The only thing subdued about this corner cantina is the wood-darkened, dimly lit bar. In the festively decorated dining room, the noise level can be as cacophonous as a craps table full of lucky winners, especially if diners are seated at the long, tough-to-maneuver-around communal table. The friendly wait staff carries the crowd--girls-nights-out groups and dates from other parts of the city--through minor service glitches, whether they're eating inside or at the sidewalk tables. – – The Food – Chef Sue Torres of Suenos partners with notable nightlife duo…

our best night out in NY!!!
by citiGirl at Citysearch
I'm from NY... was hosting a group of my friends from LA for the weekend and we decided to stop by Los Dados for some mexican food and flavor. After reading some bad reviews online, I was a little nervous, but it turned out to be the best night! our waiter was really funny and courteous, made useful suggestions and the drinks were deliiiiicious. we order the cucumber spicy margaritas, mahi tacos & steak quesadilla. my friends had a FANTASTiC time.. the dj played awesome mix of salsa and hip-hop. will definitely be going back soon. dont let the bad reviews scare you off from this place. other than the slightly slow service, its a very fun night out!!!
- Pros: drinks!!!
- Cons: slow service

Really Los Dados
by DreCSA at Citysearch
The bartender was rude, offered everyone at the bar chips n salsa but passed us over on 3 separate occasions. When we requested chips and salsa she still did not bring it. We had to ask her again and guess what…. received only chips. We had to ask her again for the salsa, then wait 10 minutes for it. It would be amusing if it wasn’t so sad.
When seated for dinner I ordered the Pablano Shrimp Risotto, which was served undercooked (undercooked as in it was CRUNCHY). When I asked for it to be cooked a little longer, (zap it in the microwave if that's what it will take) I was told, "This is how we cook it".
I have never heard of a restaurant telling patron who feels their meal is undercooked, “Too bad, this is how we make it,” definitely a first for me.
Overall it was a waste of time, money and chewing. I would have been better off stopping at a hot dog vendor. At least that would have been cooked food.
This place is one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had in New York and I was born and raised here.
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Everything but leaving.

Overpriced and Overtrendy
by Bossy at Citysearch
This place has everything going for it except the $20 mediocre entrees, and $14 6 ounce margaritas. The lighting is also so dark one can not read the menu. There are many better picks in this neighborhood, so dont get taken!!!!
- Pros: Good Drinks, Great Vibe
- Cons: Overpriced, Poor Service, Bad Food
