Charley MaAugust 18, 2013Habanero infused grapefruit margaritas are awesome...but be careful it's actually spicy
Val C.March 18, 2011Love love love this place! Def the best mexican food & margs in the city. Enchiladas verdes & fish tacos. Yum city!!
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Daniel Holzman, chef of The Meatball Shop, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Calamari ensalada. Read more
rogey_macSeptember 24, 2011Kick off with a Jalapeño margarita to ease your taste buds in. Good tacos and amazing Cerviche. Love this place.
Jason T.May 14, 2010Im a taco fan, these were awesome. The Habanero margaritas were popular with others, if you have the buds for it, go for it. Me, I cant even look at them without reaching for water. Too hot
Jiayi HuangJanuary 15, 2010Fish tacos and awesome margheritas goes without saying. Mole is delish. Camarones borrachos made me cry with happiness. V. reasonable prices too! 10/10!
Margarita KrupOctober 7, 2014Steak tacos were great! Chicken was on the dry side with little flavor.
probably best upscale mexican in NYC. Bistec a la casa and habernero infused margarithas FTW. Read more
Best Mexican and reasonable prices. Try Enchilada with green sauce and Tamarind Margarita
Tori MathesonJanuary 13, 2015Coconut margaritas and the shrimp tomato dish. Would not get the chicken enchiladas.
Glynn MontemayorMarch 25, 2012Jalapeño margarita. Do it. Joe and Amy are amazing and super friendly, too!!
Stephen KreickSeptember 17, 2011Best margaritas. Crazy good flavors like jalapeño, etc. The raspberry one is sexy. Tacos. AMAZING.
Food RepublicJune 4, 2012No need to wait in line, saddle up to the bar and order jalapeno or grapefruit margaritas.
miachel pruettJuly 23, 2011To die for: Cactus & Black Bean Tacos, with their $3 Chips & Salsa. Coming from a Texan.
Habanero Grapefruit Margarita is my favorite drink in the city. Drink 3 of them and you'll get weird.
Charlotte CraneMay 27, 2019It’s ok. It’s no Wahaca (London). Service was abysmal - wrong order arrived; took ages (loads of tables turned around before us). Excuses given by stag, rather than a sincere apology.
Diana MMarch 16, 2011The calamari taco is underrated! Delicious! But since they're small, do order a side of black beans and cheese.
David McNamaraMarch 22, 2011The Jalepeno margarita is like nothing you have had ever before. A cocktail you absolutely must try. Delicious.
Adam SilverSeptember 12, 2011Everything here is amazing. A neighborhood staple. Don't forget the cocktails.
Rohit RaoJune 27, 2012Be careful, in the context of margaritas, "jalapeno" and "habanero" may sound very similar to your waitress.
Erik ZimmermannAugust 14, 2011Obviously their margaritas are sick. For food, get the Chile En Nogada. It's incredible.
Louis BruscoFebruary 16, 2012Barrio is one of those rare Manhattan restaurants that is perpetually packed without the constant hype from food blogs.
- Habanero grapefruit margarita is horrendously spicy—but in a good way. Highly recommended.
Vanity FairDecember 12, 2012Spicy grapefruit margaritas are a highlight at this popular Mexican spot.

"Rose infused mezcal margaritas are what I go here for. And I don't even like tequila. Great and intimate atmosphere. They even have an upstairs section for dinner for larger groups."

"BEST vegan and gluten-free bakery in NYC. Try a uniquely flavored cupcake, such as their chocolate banana (chock full of banana chunks!) or brownie mocha."
BUST Magazine - 8.4
"Unpretentious and warm place with quality food and wine. One of the best tapas/wine bars in NYC and my personal fav! Be prepared to squeeze - gets really packed."
