Casey RApril 11, 2015Excellent Tex-Mex for those of us who miss the real deal. Great queso, margaritas and my fajitas were right on. Give it a shot, good stuff.
HectorApril 2, 2015New Tex-Mex restaurant. Filing entrée portions. Go for the cocktails & sit at the bar. Definitely has potential.
Blanca GreenJune 21, 2015I got the Pablo deluxe combo. The enchiladas were great. The puffy taco was bad. The tortilla tasted stale. Never had such a thing but I had high hopes for it. Rice and beans are the real deal.
NicoleApril 2, 2015Large dining areas, so tables aren't on top of each other. My Dirty West cocktail was tasty (like an Old Fashioned), and my tampiqueña was perfectly seasoned and cooked, while smaller than I expected.
Daniel KressmanApril 5, 2015After two hours, my $11 "hand-crafted" nachos finally came. Probably should have stayed home with a bag of Tostitos and shredded cheese.
Roniel TesslerMay 18, 2015The truest Tex Mex food experience in NYC. I thought being on a paleo diet was a terrible idea here, but I ordered the beef fajita (without the bread) and it was DELICIOUS
PaddyApril 16, 2016Food: very good. Drinks: very good. Service: average. Atmosphere: strange. There was a mix of sports bar, bachelorette party and karaoke... In a restaurant. Had a groupon and it's just down the street- NicoleApril 6, 2015The space would work better as a big sports bar with tvs everywhere. Business lunches and happy hour feel more right here than sitting down to dinner.
Drew MinoJune 29, 2016Go here for dinner if you want to hear skee ball and not any conversation thanks to the owners kids. #greatparenting
Cameron GidariAugust 20, 2016Such wasted potential. Adequate tex mex, but with an absurd markup. $19 for average chicken enchiladas is unacceptable, especially with so many other options in the city. Simply not worth the price.
Zeynep MiceliOctober 17, 2015It was really good! I wish a little less salt..Like the service tonight!!
Andrew DerMay 25, 2015Run away! Food is mediocre and over-priced. Service is terrible. Would never return.
Patrick BaskinJuly 21, 2015So bad, they have queso but it taste like velveeta & service was slow, massive place though so good for groups
Noemi JimenezJune 11, 2015So overpriced and yuck - best part were the drinks. Whyyyy can't I find good Mexican in NYC 😖
Justin BretonMay 6, 2015Honestly... Not that great. I was extremely disappointed. A lot of hype for nothing. If you're looking for authentic Tex-Mex, try Javelina Tex-Mex in Gramercy.
Olcay ArdaJune 30, 2017Kahvaltı sıradandı, ama servis görevlileri çok ilgili. Lezzete göre fiyatları biraz pahalı.
