Harlem Ambassador: Now a bonafide destination, hidden below street level is a new 60's style bungalow meets the hood, with a hand carved tequila bar & margarita menu to boot. Calling it a tacqueria is an injustice. Wow!
Nakisha: SUPER cute new neighborhood bar! Good prices. The fish and pulled pork tacos ($7/2) + guac ($4) were *amazing*. Drinks ($9) were good but tell them what kind of tequila. The house stuff was harsh.
Moumin Ghanem: Drink Tequila the right way. Sip on Riazul Tequila.

Linsey Busse: Riazul Añejo Tequila will change your life!!! TRY IT!!!!!!
Adrian Phillips: Great bartenders who make equally great cocktails. I forget their names but I had both the mezcal & tequila (the spicy one) cocktails. Was not disappointed, food also looked amazing.
Nuff: Solid cocktails—complex variations on classics as well as original recipes. Energetic spot with a more uptempo playlist.

Cialina Temena-Husemann: Food is pricey but the drinks are worth the trip! Great selection of cocktails, tequilas and mezcal.
Andrew Davidson: Relaxed venue with delicious food and amazing cocktails. Great date place.
Mike Friedlich: Great guac and chips. Steak, shrimp, & mahi mahi tacos were very good too. I prefer Toloache tacos but this place is still very good. Service wasnt great since they were rushing us out.

Devonta: Great atmosphere. Try the Matador tequila drink. Had the New Year's Eve Pre-Fixe dinner.
Denise H: Great brunch. Nice drinks and wines. Lovely servers.
Aliana Soto: No South African wines...let the waiter know we are in Harlem, let's connect with the community a little more. Looking forward to their wine menu being more reflective of the community.

L Erskine: Delicious food. Charming service. A new fav!
Terance Thatch: The service was slighty slow but Lobster BLT, Maple Crusted French Toast, Truffle Macaroni & Cheese and Fresh Seasonal Fruit coupled with the ambiance made up for it. I'll definitely be back.
Dei West: Linguine Alla Scampi is really good! I just wish they gave a little more shrimp.

regine jerome: Ambience is great. Very hip vibe. 😎
Serious Eats: Is this a burger worth making a special trip for? Not on its own. But add a decent beer selection, reasonable prices and a different scene to the mix, and you've got something pretty special.
