    The service was sooo slow, the servers seemed annoyed when placing a new order for items (which was like asking for a second round of drinks) which took forever and when we cancelled, she came running back saying they were actually ready. Apparently she had left then siting on the counter because the frozen margarita was very much melted. We got food before we ever got the nachos and salsa, and the prices have doubled since we last were there. Not what it used to be. If you want to get in on a weekend def make a reservation otherwise the wait is long, there was quite a line on Saturday afternoon. Not going back anytime soon.

    Overall a decent casual spot but wouldn’t go back there for a nice night out. The food is good for American Mexican food but didn’t blow my mind. service is decent, but the ambiance is not relaxing. The music is too loud and it’s hard to converse.

    The Mojitos are definitely the drink to get here, especially the tamarindo mojito.

    It's a great, popular spot for a happy hour with co-workers, a birthday celebration, or pre-gaming. Food and service are excellent. Wide variety of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. They have an extensive tequila menu. The noise level is moderate, but I was still able to hear most of my group. Of course, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays will be the busiest. If you prefer a quieter, less noisy period I went on a Tuesday night and while it's still busy, it was easier to get a table and it had a lower noise level. Reservations are recommended for busier days or with parties of four or more OR if you don't want to wait long for a table (which is common in any popular NYC restaurant.)

    Delicious Food as always. But server seemed like she was doing us a favour. Then again. It was a hectic Saturday night. Loved watching the b-day celebrations! I want to go back for my b-day one time. Taco Chips are still the tastiest around.
