Tanya PanaFebruary 17, 2018Chef tasting menu , best way to go. Cocktails Are amazing! Cannot go wrong with anything U order !
Vincent FrissoraJune 21, 2014If you're with a few people get the tasting menu. It was about 12 plates which were all unique and delicious.
Spanish mackerel tartare, mango jalapeño , various herbs, avocado mousse , tortillas. - perfect
AmateurConciergeJanuary 5, 2019Yes: winter guacamole, vegetable fajitas. Chicken wing confit has good flavor but the double wings are kinda inefficient
Olivia PMarch 8, 2015Tip for couples: 5 dishes, a drink each and dessert will cost you a lot less than the Chef's tasting menu and it will be enough food.
Nancy AckenhausenSeptember 20, 2015Carrot elote, foie gras al pastor, pork cheek, burrata, sundae with banana ice cream
I love the duck fat mezcal! It comes with grapefruit and cracklins
honeywhatscooking.comJanuary 20, 2015Grilled octopus is out of this world - topped with truffle oil. Omg! Duck tacos are great.
Brie fundido with mushrooms and pumpkin, steak tacos, and the carrot elote.. All amazing!
Kev SkinnyAugust 14, 2014This is something special. Try the cactus appetizer and you will no longer think of a cactus as such a prick.
margaret tungMarch 4, 2013carrots, esquites, fundido, carnitas, drunken shrimp, corn flan, lamb meatballs, and churros are must orders!
Roman BedinerMay 25, 2014Go for the $45 chef special, we'll worth it. Bone marrow was very nicely done.
Jocelyn MedinaJune 8, 2014I think the food is an acquired taste. I didn't like it at all, but the service and atmosphere is excellent. Come here to challenge your taste buds lol
Cadie ThompsonJanuary 12, 2014Try the manhattan cube with mezcal and definitely have the tasting menu.
OmarApril 20, 2014Most complicated bar menu ever, order a beer. On the bright side the tasting menu is bliss
YoungOctober 1, 2013They're trying hard to make everything unique but it's not there yet. It needs to be refined. You can't just pour sweet chilli sauce over brussel sprouts. And their wine wasn't good.
Eat This NYDecember 22, 2013Foie grad pastor and shrimp gorditas are great. I'd pass on the bland guacamole.
Tom AlfieJune 11, 2014It was all too rich. Get some thing light and fresh otherwise it's overwhelming

Stina P. - 8.5
"Such an amazing find. Great ambiance, creative menu that's very Latin, inventive but not 'trying too hard to be something else'. Menu changes daily based on ingredients. Staff is amazing. 5 stars!"
Andrea Barrezueta - 9.0
"Latin american cuisine. A really good choice if you want to try something different. Good prices and delicious food. "Pernil" is my personal recommendation :)"

"One of my top 5 fav. Get the spicy tuna, the scallop, short rib slider, broccoli rabe, and bacon doughnuts. More than enough food for two."
Chelsea Balkan - 9.1
"My favorite cocktail bar to kick back and chill at. Amazing cocktails and live music, in an intimate, gorgeous space."
Peter Wu - 8.5
"This is a great venue to see new and emerging bands. The stage is easy to see and reach. The 2 bars and drinks deals are really good. The sound is excellent and crowds are intimate."
