Always a great choice
by tryeverythingonce
This is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. It's cute, the food is a little more gourmet than your typical Mexican, and the duck crepes are one of the best dishes anywhere in the city. Great for takeout too. I highly recommend it!
Worst delivery wait
by Kalbertio
Do not ever make a delivery order here. I've been waiting for an hour and a half and my food is still not here. I live in Chelsea
- Pros: don't know yet
- Cons: delivery wait
Wow...Wow...Wow Great food and drinks
by CookThis
This place is soooooo good. Drinks are wonderful, I got the frozen mango margarita and loved it. The food is mexican elegance, the combinations are excellent. It is very small so if you dont like sitting very close to your nearby diners, dont go.
- Pros: Food and drink are amazing
- Cons: small place, cramped seating
perfect for special occasions
by morgann11
YUM YUM YUM. Had a delicious meal here for my best friend's graduation. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to end. The menu was very thoughtful and the food very very good. The service was also very attentive, but not the in "Hows everything going over here?" every two minuets kind of way. The wait staff was knowledgeable and able to tell us a lot about the menu. I would recommend this place for a special occasion because it is pricey.
- Pros: food,friendly service

Had the pleasure of dining here with my boyfriend on Mon 8/11 and i must say that i found the staff to be friendly and professional. I had the chicken burritos with bbq sauce and avocado, and my boyfriend had the tuna steak over baby greens and the chicken soup. All food was fresh and top quality. The pureed plantains and flan were awesome! Only complaint is that we were seated in the back (at our request), and i noticed that the walls and framed pictures were very dusty. I would strongly recommend this place for any meal,large or small groups. Cant wait to return!!
- Pros: fresh food and nice staff
- Cons: dust on walls
Salt, salt, and MORE salt!
by everthere
Although the guacamole here is really wonderful, every dish I've ever had at this place is incredibly salty. The attitude of the management is salty too, and leaves A LOT to be desired; some could use serious training in people skills. They seem more concerned with getting diners in and out like cattle, with no respect or professionalism. Very upsetting and disappointing place, as the menu is great in theory, but the dishes are just so over-salted. Between that and the rude management, I'm never going back. And as Anthony Bourdain has said, if you're over-salting your food, you're trying to hide something!!
- Pros: The chips, salsa and guacamole. That's it.
- Cons: Rude, unprofessional management, overly salted food
Disappointing. Do not recommend.
by SashaB
Not crazy about this place. While the menu promises wonderful things, their dishes are VERY salty, bordering on unhealthy. All though the bar, provides tasty and strong drinks. Aside from food, the management is rude to the patrons and unprofessional. Certain people should not be in the service industry. Disappointing.
- Pros: good drinks
- Cons: rude management, food could be better
Best Steak Burrito
by swisscheese
I am officially obsessed with their steak burrito. I can't recommend anything else on the menu because I refuse to order anything else from them. The restaurant itself is very clean and is larger than it appears from the outside. The staff is very pleasant and I can't give one complaint about them.
One of my favorite mexican places
by evillagefoodie
Really innovative mexican cuisine with a great drink and cocktail menu as well. The beef with mojo sauce is my favorite dish in the world.
- Pros: Great food and service
- Cons: can take a while to be seated
