The parking lot serves all the businesses in this collection of businesses. The entrance is gorgeous with a big Dia de Los Muertos mural as you enter. The person greeting me is very friendly. The entire restaurant is very clean and has ample seating. I was seated while I waited for my friend. I ordered a red wine sangria. It had a good amount of fruit in it, was perfectly chilled, and not too sweet. We each ordered fajitas. I ordered shrimp. I was able to sub flour tortillas for corn. The portion was so big I had enough for another meal. Everything came out together, perfectly hot, with sides of salsa and seasoned sour cream. There were also sides of rice, black beans, and cotija cheese. My friend has a non alcoholic Mojito. I also had a tamarind Jarritos soda. We each ordered a sweet. My friend had churros. They came with three flavors of dipping sauce. I ordered the house made flan. The custard was great! The caramel was burnt. I feel the prices are very reasonable considering this is NYC, and the cost of food now a days. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely return to try more of their extensive amazing menu!

Went for taco Tuesday and I can say I've had better flavorful tastier tacos. Maybe it Iwas an off…read moreday or because it was busy being taco Tuesday but my steak and chicken taco left nothing to be desired. Missed the mark on the seasoning & sauce as they were bland! My partner ordered the battered chicken cutlet and guess what?? No seasoning at all! We took it home and made chicken parm. Extremely disappointed. We look forward to going out having a good time with food and drinks and this was horrible. Not our 1st time coming here but always want to give businesses a second chance. They failed. Margaritas you can't go wrong. Kudos to others that find their food exceptional and delicious. Margaritas were good. Can't go wrong there. Music was also good just hard to hear and communicate but that doesn't bother me. My opinion Have a great day

A pretty solid Diner and a satisfactory trip to the way there. It's definitely a popular joint,…read moredespite the pretty massive size of the spot, there were a lot of people there on a Tuesday morning. Despite the traffic, service time didn't take a hit from it. The waitress kindly took my order and I got all of my food within 10 minutes. I had the Fried Mozzarella for a starter, Chicken Caesar Honey Wrap with waffle fries for the entree and Iced Tea because I figured dessert would be too much for both my appetite and wallet. The Fried Mozzarella pieces had a type of pull that you would expect and one I haven't seen in awhile. It was delightful in taste and texture. The Ceasar Wrap and Waffle Fries were very filling. It was very good but it felt like I over ordered on food again so I finished as much as I could. I've had a pretty good meal at a fair enough price. The place has a lot to offer so you'll find something there.

The vibe is still very lively. Music was pumping, DJ played a great mix. They have hookahs available. The service was pretty good despite the crowd. Kyra was our waitress and she's very knowledgeable about menu items and made some good suggestions that we enjoyed! Drinks: we had the whiskey barrel, blueberry mojito, and passion fruit Long Island. If you like sweet cocktails then the blueberry mojito is for you. It was more sweet than alcoholic, tastes like juice. The passion fruit Long Island was much better. It had a good balance of flavor and alcohol. My friend enjoyed her whiskey barrel. Food: happy to see the portions haven't changed much and still match the price points! We started with the mango habanero wings and sweet chili shrimp: both were great. For entree I had the whole lobster medley which came with shrimp, mussels, scallops, and linguine. It came out hot and fresh and the sauce that's on it is to die for! Yum! The oxtail mac and cheese was really good too. The oxtail was tender and flavorful and the mac and cheese was very creamy/cheesy! Didn't try my friend's stuffed salmon (stuffed with crab meat) and shrimp but she ate every bit of it so that tells me all I need to know.

Server/bartender was kind and professional. She was also very knowledgeable about the menu items. We had fried calamari (perfectly cooked) and it was delicious. Seafood was fresh. We ordered lobster Mac and cheese and salmon Mac and cheese, crab cakes, and a side of steamed vegetables. We loved everything we had. Mac and cheese was a little only but nothing that ruined the dish. The drinks were delicious and strong. What also loved was the have hooks under the tables and at the bar ton hang your pocketbook. They also have outlets under the bar that can be used to charge your devices. These little touches matter! We had a really good time. Will definitely be coming back.

Horrible Service…read more Absolutely terrible experience. We waited over an hour just for our nachos, which is completely unacceptable. We had to get the attention of two different waiters just to remind them about our food and ask what was going on with our order. Our refills were another issue. It took over 30 minutes just to get our drinks refilled, and when we tried to get help, the staff was rude and acted like we were bothering them. The server barely checked on us unless we were already trying to get her attention ourselves. When our food was finally delivered, it was extremely disappointing. After waiting that long, we expected the food to at least be worth it, but it wasn't. The entire experience was frustrating from beginning to end. The service was slow, the communication was poor, the staff was rude, and the food did not make up for the ridiculous wait. What should have been a simple meal turned into a long and frustrating experience. We shouldn't have had to repeatedly ask about our food, chase down waiters for refills, or remind the staff that we were still waiting. This place is not worth your money or your time. There are plenty of other restaurants where you can spend your money and actually receive decent service and food. I would not recommend this place based on our experience, and I definitely won't be coming back.
