My friend and I made a reservation here before we went to see a show ant the Broadway Comedy Club. You really can't ever go wrong with Mexican, but I truly didn't anticipate how delicious everything would be! For drinks I had a lemonade (that was just ok...but I was so hot so I down it) and my friend ordered "La Tia", which just determined the size, and had a coconut marg. She loved it! We started off with the chips with guac and salsa, and man, was that guac hitting! The elote also came out to start, and I just LOVE when it's served "off the bone". Much quicker way to get in my mouth! It was delicious! Next came out our grilled chicken burrito. We decided to split one so we could also order the tacos we wanted. I'm know; genius, right!? That burrito was FANTASTIC. I was so happy they had a grilled chicken option, because I can't stand shredded chicken. While we waited for our tacos we ordered ANOTHER elote (guys...it was that good) and then came out my birria tacos and her sashimi tacos. We dogged those things. We ate EVERYTHING. Sidenote: our server Daniel (jeez I hope that's his name) was so quick and friendly! I loved everything about this place and will definitely be back for more good eats!! read more

Drinks were good. Food was good although my chicken quesadilla was a bit too oily I went with my friend and his husband. Some of their orders were messed up (he asked for no toppings on his quesadilla, it arrived with all the toppings. His husband asked for no sour cream and there was sour cream) I wouldn't be in a rush to return but I wouldn't decline if the invite to visit the place was there Servers were friendly Older Hispanic server was hilarious read more

Came here for happy hour $8 margaritas (frozen/rocks) if you want a flavor it's an added cost. Sat outside because it was a nice day. Service was very welcoming and super nice. They told us HH was ending soon and were able to get us 2 rounds. Food came out quick and was very tasty. My beef stuff plantain was a bit greasy due to the shredded beef that came with it but still flavorful. read more

Local neighborhood favorite with some of the best Mexican food. The hardshell tacos, which are fried with the fillings inside of it, are hands down my favorite items on the menu. They always come out smoking hot. Get the Al pastor. The cilantro rice and refried beans are great as well. Love the skinny margaritas. I need the recipe for their salsa! They recently revamped the menu which I enjoy. I do miss the unlimited chips and salsa though. read more

A good spot to go to with a group for an easy meal and good vibes. The salsa and chips were also pretty good but nothing stood out. Good for social events and meeting up before an event read more

I love their salsa, margs and vibes! Thanks for taking us in during the cold and getting us LIT! They play great music too!

Arriba Arriba is here to solve all your tex mex problems. This place takes me home. "Flat nachos" are perfect Tex-Mex style nachos, toppings on every chip. Their enchiladas suizas are great sour cream chicken enchiladas. Huge drinks. The only thing missing is the lack of legitimate queso. They have queso fundido which isn't the same thing. The Texans and non-Texans I've brought here have all enjoyed it. Love this place! read more

I ordered from Arriba Arriba and everything was delicious! I got the steak with chimichurri, guacamole with chips, and the quesadillas -- and it all really hit the spot. The steak was flavorful and tender, the chimichurri added the perfect kick, and the guacamole tasted super fresh. The quesadillas were cheesy and satisfying, just what I was craving. Definitely a place I'd order from again! read more

Food and service both great.. octopus appetizer to die for. The huge negative is the loud blaring music . This is not a night club.. it's a restaurant with families, etc... it was impossible to have a conversation with my tablemates without shouting into their ears. Not enjoyable at all read more

Came here for happy hour before a show on a weeknight. I got a frozen margarita and shared their nachos and short rib tacos (2). The frozen margarita was delicious and strong! And surprisingly, not too sweet! I also liked how the nachos came dressed already with all the fixings, so I didn't need to mess with it a bunch. Tacos were decent, would give it a 3.5/5. A tad pricey for 2 tacos. read more

5 Stars -- Flavor, vibes, and a little tequila magic This cozy spot in Arriba Arriba Midtown is a whole vibe. The carnitas tacos? Juicy, crispy, and full of flavor easily some of the best I've had. The strawberry margarita was fresh, perfectly balanced, and just strong enough to make me forget my problems (and maybe my name). Great service, chill atmosphere, and I'll definitely be back. Might even bring a date if they're lucky. read more

My friend knows Arriba Arriba for a long time -it's a staples in the neighborhood - and wanted me to try that place... First impression: Saturday at 6 pm (our reservation time before going to the show)- totally FULL!!! Big place and fully occupied! A lot of tables placed very closed to each other to fill more customers... and despite that- fully occupied. Margaritas are awesome-very easy to order-sizes and names of the drinks on the table already! I ordered small classic Margarita, which was like regular size in any restaurant... My friend's Medium-was like a beer bottle size! We ordered Guacamole -generous portion! And Salmon... salmon came with a green rice../ very delicately cooked, generous portion as well. I understood why the place was soo crowded: very good Margaritas/tasty food/reasonable prices/fast service! Nice ambience.:: Would definitely be back. read more

It's as simple as this: their food is uninspired but their margaritas are fabulous. To explain further: the food is actually *very* underwhelming, which I don't think casual Mexican needs to be. But as many have said, the atmosphere and pregame essence are certainly there. read more

No greeter at the door. After stand there for 10 mins. When finally sat the Waiter came over after another 10 mins never introduced himself at all.l had to ask for water as well Sat with no menu 1 other table sat after me was seen right away with the drinks and menus and greeting . No customer service at all Food. When the food was brought out it was place down splashing sauce on the table and on the one existing napkin I had. Rice tasted burned. Asked for salsa and was brought out a bottle of hot sauce. When I asked for salsa the person (not my waiter again) said I didn't make myself clear. Other wise it was alright. Customer service: Non existent especially if you are by yourself. The only time I saw my waiter was when he took my order and then brought me the check. Was not the best service I've received and the worst part is the service staff didn't seem to care. When I got my check I noticed I was over charged and brought it to someone's attention. Again was greeted with attitude when told he up charge is in the menu. Once I noticed it I was fine but still could have been better without the attitude When I see wait staff complain about wages and such I do understand (living wages and such) but if you want to be tipped and appreciated for the hard jobs you do, treat your customers as if you want them at your establishment instead of an inconvenience. I also spoke to the manager and all he did was try to gaslight me by saying this is a family owned establishment and we try our best and literally said that this was his form of an apology for bad service All around about a 1.5 star experience. I take it back negative 5 read more

My statement from 18 years ago still holds true. Really great margaritas and a chill space to hang out with friends. I came after a screening on 54th street and enjoyed re-connecting with a friend and talking about the film. The service was friendly and quick but sometimes I felt a little pushy in an attempt to constantly upsell. I understand that the pandemic was rough on many small restaurants but there must be a middle ground. read more

We've only ever done take out from here, so I can't speak to their in-restaurant service, but when it comes to take out, Arriba Arriba is our favorite go to Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood. The delivery is always fresh. The food is consistently good. And we've never had a meal we haven't liked ... Except ... not sure how they can justify charging $12 for a teeny tiny dessert that lacks taste. That we don't recommend. And don't expect them to take accountability for it. As the manager we spoke said, "not our problem." Come to think about it, we haven't ordered from there since. Still, I offer a fair four-star review based on the prior experience. read more

Spectacular authentic food and delicious margaritas! Service was great and staff were all very kind and very quick! We sat on the patio with a heater and were very comfortable. It was nice to be able to see the city moving around us! We had the enchiladas mole, plátano macho relleno, and sashimi tacos. Everything was delicious but i will say the sashimi tacos are a bit small, but we're also delicious! The coconut margarita was incredible and my husband said his strawberry margarita was delicious! read more

While walking through Hell's Kitchen, we stumbled upon this lively queer Mexican spot and it was such a great find!

Came with high hopes, left pretty underwhelmed. Margaritas were decent but not strong and the food was lackluster. The portion sizes were also on the smaller side, which left me wanting more. The service was average, nothing particularly outstanding but not terrible either. The staff was friendly, but it seemed like they were overwhelmed and not entirely attentive to our needs. Overall, this Mexican restaurant was just average. If you're looking for a place to enjoy some decent margaritas, it might be worth a visit. However, if you're seeking an authentic and memorable Mexican culinary experience, you might want to explore other options in the area. read more

Came here without a reservation for a late Sunday brunch and was easily able to find seating inside. The food was very good since I love chilaquiles and steak. The steak itself was very good. I don't see this combo very often and the price was a nice surprise around $20 if I remember correctly. I really like that they use fresh puree and juices. The hibiscus was under the fresh juices, but if I didn't know any better, it tasted like syrup before mixing the bottom of the glass. The service was really attentive. The decor is vibrant, but busy. read more

LOVE LOVE Arriba Arriba...ambiance, food, and tequila are the main reasons to come to this Hell's Kitchen gem! Let's start with the amazing octopus appetizer...if you like octopus or never tried before this is shareable for the table and delicious. It is layered with an avocado hummus but the star of the plate is the roasted red peppers chipotle sauce. I don't know what's in the sauce but I would buy to take home and cook with or just dip tortilla chips in it as a snack. I ordered the enchilada suizas (recommended by waiter) with shrimp...it's a green sauce layered with cheese and with the refried beans and rice is perfection to the tastebuds. My friend ordered the carne asada and he said it was seasoned well and very tender. Of course we ordered frozen margaritas cuz it was 90 degrees today; watermelon and pineapple. Do not get fooled by the first sip as it seems really light; just wait the tequila is taking its time LOL. I like that they offer frozen and on the rocks as well as different size (ounces) options. FYI for my true Mexican food lovers chips and salsa are not complimentary but worth the additional charge...has a lil bit of a spicy kick. read more

Almost comical in its mediocrity. Probably the worst Mexican food I've had in New York in pretty much forever. An ok glass of white sangria. Nachos that were lukewarm andpoor, and enchiladas suizas that were close to inedible. We both had the same thing. It's been here forever and seems popular so I figure the owners put in the minimal effort because they can. The waiter was friendly. read more

Right in the heart of Manhattan's Theater District, this is a good spot. The food and drinks were good for a quick bite if you're in the area. The chicken tamal was my favorite out of the items we selected because of the mole sauce. I would probably say this spot is more appropriate for adults not necessarily for a family with kids. Spacing is a little tight but we're are talking about Midtown so it's understandable. I'm comfortable giving it three stars because it was good spot but not necessarily a go-to for me. read more

I would have given it 3 stars IF at least the portions were bigger or actually are what they claim they are. It's not even Tex Mex.

The batter is not even the same. Once again, 2 small street size tacos. You have to pay extra for beans and rice Servers, servers everywhere but not one to take approve your seating or know where to seat you. 15% is the absolute lowest I will ever tip. $66.85 before tip $77 after tip read more

Ok y'all hear me out...so this is FAR from authentic Mexican food. The food isn't really that amazing (but it's good/passable). The music is kinda too loud and the bathroom trashcans are often overflowing. BUT come here for the margaritas. I am talking low grade, cruise ship style, Vegas style frozen margaritas. Amazing (Never said I was classy y'all). They come in different sizes from small to huge. There's a lot of places in the city I can get some fancy schmancy curated non frozen margarita. Sometimes I just want a damn frozen margarita. This place hits the spot. read more

I think I found my favorite spot for enchiladas suizas! Seriously the tastiest enchilada suizas I've had. The perfect amount of cheese, sauce, chicken to balance itself out! The portion is enough to satisfy you without feeling too full- though I admit they're so good that they always leave me wanting for more. Space is clean, staff are friendly. I have not tried anything else here- probably should - but I am so hooked I don't see myself wanting to try anything else. read more
