Danielle Auerbach

For my main course I had the Chile Relleno ,delicious & vegetarian ???????? Appetizer I shared the quesadilla de flor. And to drink I had the Pepinada which I highly recommend if you like spicy cocktails .

Chad Horner

serving tasty trios of tiny tacos , along with some very reasonably priced cocktails (most are $12 and under!), Tacuba, Julian Medina's newest venture, is a sort of Toloache-lite

Chris D

Authentic Mexican food - don't let the plain exterior fool you, place is very well decorated (fancy !) on the inside. Solid guac , great margaritas , lots of creative options.

Eater

The tacos are excellent, sweet corn tortillas with fillings that might include octopus and chorizo (a smoky surf & turf ) or whole Oaxacan grasshoppers (essentially a non-vegetarian popcorn ). Read more

Nicole

Tasty food to share, fresh drinks , attentive service , and a more casual/young vibe than sister rest. Toloache. Perfect location for groups in nice weather when they'll open up the front doors/windows.

Paolo Barone

Pretty good meal. Beware the tacos are quite small but the pulpo y chorizo ones we really tasty as was the aguachile chevice. Also had the enchiladas de pollo en mole which was excellent

Frank Chiuppi

Tasty authentic tacos ! They are small but so fresh and full of flavor. We had the quesadillas with the Suadero & Calabazita tacos . Just enough to leave room for desert .

Cesar Razuri

More than 3 people? Make sure you reserve in advance. For 2-3 people, the bar is a great place to enjoy all the delicious food they have to offer. The margaritas are delicious, as are the tacos .

Lynne Viera

octopus & chourizo tacos are top notch - served on housemade corn tortillas . micheladas and margaritas are fantastic.

Vania S.

Awesome Mexican spot that's great for birthdays and group dinners . Their Piña Para La Niña is a fun drink that comes in a pineapple if you're sharing with someone (or just want to drink for 2)

Anissa

The octopus/chorizo tacos were great and the frozen margaritas are strong and delicious! The manager was so friendly and gave our table a round of sipping tequila since we were celebrating a birthday!

Ryan Warrender

New Mexican restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. Creative cocktails and awesome guacamole . Tacos are a bit small, but packed with quality ingredients.

Lauren Docktor

other than the fact that they don't have happy hour options (who does that in midtown?) this place is yummy. try the mezcalita de pena and the carne asada tacos w cheese (always cheese ).

Sean Meriwether

As we venture back to eating in restaurants as the pandemic wanes, one of the first we chose to return to was Tacuba. The food from this Mexican eatery was excellent, good portion size for the entrees

Anastasia Baast

Came here for dinner during happy hour and loved everything. Frozen margaritas were ???????????????????????? We got chunky guacamole which was really good, fish tacos and shrimp tacos , both were exceptional!

Weston Tucker

Everything is good here. You will love it! The chocolate cake is a must way to finish the amazing everything else. By far the best Mexican food I've had-I highly recommend!!!

Nice Mexican spot, especially for Midtown. Margaritas were strong. Food was good and so was the service. It can get busy, so better have reservations . Good for groups as well .

Enchilada de Pato (duck ) is awesome, the taco servings are small

Jaclyn R

Adorable atmosphere. Great drinks, recommend anything with a purée! Salsa is awesome

Norman Ellis

The tacos are small but very tasty. The ceviches are delish and make for a shareable appetizer .

Amy Sagar

So many favorites...chicken tacos , steak tacos with cheese , avocado fries , and Brussels sprouts !

Luis Vieira

Guacamole was special. Fried Brussel sprouts was a good surprise. The octopus dish was divine!

Kathleen Corless

The brisket tacos , the carnitas and the mezcal list!

Emily W

Refrescante margarita is so good. Really friendly bartenders .

Cat Lo

awesome tacos , very small sized, order two portions!

Marie La Rue

Interesting variety of tacos . Try the veggie ones with crispy hibiscus flowers. Guac was more a mosh mash of large avocado chunks and didn’t live up to expectations. Overall, a bit underwhelming.

Katia

Delicious Mexican food and margaritas . Very lively atmosphere and great service

Gothamist

Celebrate the warm weather with a cocktail in a pineapple and mouth-watering ceviche at this cantina in Hell's Kitchen. Read more

Shawn Thornton

Great gacu and tacos . Tacos come in three and are small. But tasty and worth it.
