The Corcoran Group: Be sure to come with a big group so you can sample a bunch of dishes. Our favorites: honey ribs, steak fajitas, soft-shell crab tacos, tuna tostaditas, & of course the Don Huevo. Excellent drinks too!
Eater: Like the London original, the menu includes dishes from all across Mexico, including many specialties from the Yucatan region, plus a few non-traditional items. Read more.
EatMeDrinkMeNYC: Look for the chandelier made with 9872 pennies. Yes we did count them.

Adam Georgiou: The steak fajitas and fresh guac was excellent. Waiter was great - spoke very articulately (his name was Robert).
Oscar Trelles: Go for the guacamole (made table side) and the fish tacos. Also try the jalapeño infused margaritas.
Meli: Upscale Mexican food that's worth the price. Lobster quesadilla & chicken quesadilla are savory; guacamole is tasty and chunky; pineapple & mango mojitos are must tries. Will def return for more.
