As a Cali girl, I'm picky about my Mexican & it's been hard to find good City spots but this place nails it! The steak quesadilla & enchiladas were delish! Blood orange margaritas esp. packed a punch!
One of our favorite Thursday Happy Hour spots when it's warm out. The outdoor patio gets very crowded , but it's always a great scene. The margaritas are strong , so be careful if having more than one!
Strong margaritas in fun flavors and a fantastic happy hour . Incredibly busy, especially on the outdoor patio in the summer. Good mexican food if you do come to eat. Get the guacamole or nachos
Watch out for the margs ! Just repeat this over and over as you walk in: "my limit is two" and you should make it out alive. And ask for Jimmy at the main bar - best bartender in NYC.
The margaritas here are known for getting you to black-out/brown-out after 1 or 2 or ??. Be aware. Be safe. Me, I went wild...and paid the price.
Big Mexican restaurant in the city prices weren't bad considering we are in midtown. They had a decent happy hour . The food & portions were good. Outside dining & service was good. Drinks were strong !
Margaritas are deliciously strong (go for frozen Mango !) and their nachos with meat and chili did not disappoint. A small plate was enough for 1.5 peeps.
Wondering why this place doesn’t have better reviews!? Delicious food (guac & steak fajita nachos !), plus Margaritas that perfectly walk the line of “strong , but drinkable.”
Guacamole $17 and under seasoned. Good happy hour specials and plenty of seating but expect standard American Mexican food . Skip reconstituted yucca fries , vegetable empanadas & barely dressed nachos .
My go-to spot for guacamole (I recommend medium) and the House margarita with ice. Enjoy!
Strong ass margaritas ! Steak nachos are killer! Sing Duran Duran's Rio and get free dessert . After 2 margaritas you'll be singing the whole album!
Best margaritas ! I like to get there before the crowd, post up at the bar so I have my spot for my peeps
One frozen margarita and you'll leave happy. Two frozen margaritas and you'll forget most anything.
Best margaritas in NYC. All you need are two & you will not remember your night!
guac guac guac I always get the guacamole from here. Expensive drinks and normally crowded but great outdoor space .
The margaritas are awesome! I normally do not do frozen, but the frozen peach marg is great. As is the chicken quesadilla !
The spicy guac prepared tableside is ridic amazing. Do yourself a favor. So. Good.
The other tips do not lie, the margaritas are indeed extremely strong ! Gives you a nice buzz pretty quick. Decent food depending on which menu item you order.
Margaritas and everything they make is amazing
Great happy hour deals (at the bar only) and excellent patio space that gets crowded quickly
Been going here for years, get the classic margaritas on the rocks, guacamole medium spice , steak nachos fo sho and my personal fav is the queso con pollo - SO YUMMY!!!!!
Deadly margs , amazing outdoor patio situation. Cheap !
The margaritas are SO STRONG and SO GOOD!
Rumored to have Ninfa's (Houston-style) green salsa
Margaritas are really good and very strong !
There is a second bar/restaurant on the other side (37th).....huh??
Margaritas in Solo cups and bowls of queso that may as well be buckets. What's not to love?
Perfect for a night out with co-workers. Get the enchiladas !
Staff , food and service is excellent. Will come again with Friend's.
I really wanted this place to be amazing but everything I saw, ate and drank made me say.. Meh. If you need a laid back spot for a group this might be ok.
The place is fantastic and the bartenders are the best. Margaritas are off the hook
The best steak nachos you'll ever have. Hands down.
Happy Hour for a blackout margarita with some chips and guacamole . Stand outside and people watch .
Super delicious. Very Nice steak Fajitas and margaritas
Good, but 2 margaritas and a corona, during happy hour , for 33$ is unacceptable, even in Manhattan.
Expensive happy hour but frozen margaritas on an outdoor patio in Murray hill is great in the summer
Try the Blood Orange Margarita - amazing! And the outstanding guacamole !!!
Great margaritas after a stressful work week. Beware ... They are made with 151!
Great outdoor happy hour spot when the weather is nice. SUPER strong drinks . Try to Pomegranate Margarita , deliciousss
Steak fajita nachos are to die for! Margueritas are lethal!
Margaritas are deadly. So good but cut yourself off at 2 for sure!
Food = no bueno but drinks are strong and will mess you all the way up.
Weekend brunch is great. Both the steak and eggs and salmon and eggs are suprisingly really well done.
Nom fish tacos !
The margaritas are dangerous and great ????????
Steak nachos , blue caraco margaritas and great bartenders !
Make sure to call ahead and ask if they have the green sauce (not guacamole ). They run out of tomatillios and can't always make the sauce.
This place has great food, especially the steak tacos and pomegranate margaritas
Get the chicken queso fundidos . They make it for you tableside so you can feel bougy like Los Man
Salmon salad on the picture, really good try with the homemade mango habanero sauce!!! - Xavier
Filet mignon enchilada w/shrimps is my favorite dish! A must try! - Amaris Garcia
Awesome music (70s-90s) and a relaxed, non-douchey, not too loud setting. Lots of TVs for sports too! - Paul Gabriel
The best burger EVER. Delicious in every bite! Good service. - Shei La
