Ellie M.Ellie Manduriao: Steak was ok but not that good. We had cajun rib eye, colorado something steak, porterhouse, king salmon, choc mousse and coconut layered cake for dessert. Our only complaint was the waiter!

Andy T.Andy Tao: Get the medium cajun rib with grilled asparagus on the side. And of course, some red wine to go with it.

Mexican Restaurant · Midtown East · 39 tips and reviews

Morgan M.Morgan McKee: As a connoisseur of Tex Mex, I approve for comfort Mexican food. It’s sacrilegious to not start with guac and seven dips. Pastrami tacos and short rib make your own tacos are🔥. Layer on a few margs!

LilyLily: NYMag Where to Eat (1/2018): "There's an excellent steak tartare, and a delicious confit of short rib. Save room for avocado parfait, a made-for-Instagram creation that lives up to the hype."

LilyLily: Guacamole/salsa flight and short ribs are overrated, but tacos and cocktails are solid. Downstairs bar can be a raucous white-collar bro-fest, but the upstairs dining area is an oasis above it all.
