    Couple appetizers! Definitely order appetizers!

    Food, ambience, service, team, everything was delightful! It is a small restaurant so reservation definitely recommended! A very romantic place btw

    Kahlo.

    To Yelp or not to Yelp that is the question. So some backstory first because I've decided to Yelp it up. I was attending a trade show at Javits Center and the PR Team for the event invited some of their VIP exhibitors and friends in the media out to Kahlo for a special networking Happy Hour on the events second day. As I am always interested in knowing my reps better and getting potential website content out of exhibitor meetups, I could not resist at all. Plus I was going to be on the hungry side after exploring the convention center for a few hours and I had never been to Kahlo before. The restaurant is right on 29th Street a few minutes walk from Javits and has a decent sized space to it. Coat check in the front and then numerous tables on either side and down the center of the room with the bar directly in the rear right next to the kitchen. The group had convened to this section for the Happy Hour and since I don't drink alcohol I was hoping that the bartender could craft a tasty mocktail for me. I didn't catch what he called it but it was pinkish in hue if I saw it correctly in the light and quite tasty. I forgot to ask for limited ice because I'd rather have more drink than lots of ice. Perhaps it was a non-alcoholic mojito or a non-tequila sunrise. Either way, it was tasty and I had a couple of them to compliment the finger foods. The servers kept the attendees fed with tasty bites that featured small lobster rolls, tacos, potato tots with some kind of spicy sauce, steak bites and some sort of corn appetizer in a sauce served with a spoon. While I was glad to taste all of them as they went around, I found myself enjoying the lobster rolls, tacos and the little steak bites the most. They also had a salsa dip on each of the small standing tables with wonderful tortilla chips. I need to find out where they get these provided they are not made in house. I did review the menu prices of the main courses and appetizers and while they appeared to be a little pricy, this was nothing too out of the ordinary for a NYC located restaurant. I will say that 29th Street off 11th Avenue is a bit off the beaten path for more but you can walk a few blocks from the 7 train or the C line and of course Uber anyplace if your budget permits. Traditionally I don't head to places like this in the city since my own neighborhood has so many spots that serve a similar fare. A minor downside was no available WiFi and while they said they didn't have one working I saw it on the mobile so it must have been for transactions only. Today this kind of stuff is commonplace so I hope more find themselves creating customer accessible accounts because it let's that social media notification happen and potentially help the establishments overall existence. I'd come back here and sit and properly dine and relax but I cannot determine when that will be at all. Give them a try if you trust my opinions because what I did have for this Happy Hour was very good.

    The ambiance
    Hugo T.

    My family and I came here for a fine dinner. The ambiance is really fancy and nice. The service is good, but it took a while for the tiny portion we got. My family ordered the peach salad and guacamole for about $20 each. The salad a d guacamole were extremely small. My father and I got tacos for about $20 each. We got 2 small tacos. Overall, it would be 5 stars if the portions were larger!

    Fresa drink that's literally just ice
    Antonia C.

    I heard great things about this place so I booked a work lunch there for my team but I was very disappointed. I ordered the "Fresa" drink . It didn't even have alcohol in it and was $14 which would have been find but it was literally JUST ice . So basically we paid for ice . I finished it in 5 sips and used the ice to put water in for the rest of my meal . The food was ok but he cleared our plates and left the appetizers so how are we supposed to finish them . And then when my boss got the bill she realized we were charged for items we didn't even pay for when we told them I swear they were laughing in the back about it . I was so embarrassed. I work for a large company nearby and I won't be coming back or recommending

    LUBINA ZARANDEADO, CORDERO ASADO
    Liz G.

    We loved our dinner here. The service is excellent, the food delicious (Lubina Zarandeado - sea bass, and Cordero Asado - lamb) and the atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, not stuffy.

    Octopus a las brazas
    Ashley J.

    Went with a group of 5 to a 6 pm reservation on a Tuesday night. The music was so loud we could barely hear our server to order or hear each other. We tried some cocktails and shared most of the appetizers and desserts. The food was generally good but overpriced. We spent $18 on a bowl of fruit and the tiniest thing of guacamole (will say that the chips were great) favorites were the octopus, tuna tostadas and the black truffle esquites. In a super weird part of town and not an area or vibe I need to come back to.

    Tres leches cake
    Sher R.

    Apps were delicious, with a modern twist on Mexican favorites. The cocktails were refreshing and inventive (the Bonito was a spicy surprise) and dessert...who doesn't love tres leches? Worth another visit!

    Strawberry margarita
    Sara G.

    Pros: Guacamole is amazing, chips have a nice spice, and I love the decor: particularly the disco ball and chandelier. Our server was very nice. Cons: Didn't know they'd have a limited menu, and was disappointed bc I'd been looking forward to esquites and empanadas--I was going to have the veg one and my boyfriend the meats. The limited menu was super limited in its veggie options and I ended up having guacamole and veg crudite for dinner. They did bring around samples of the esquites which was a fun touch. I wanted about 10 more. There was a DJ for the anniversary party but no one sound checked them and it was constantly giving loud feedback during our visit. I'd give this place another try because the people were nice and the food seems promising.

    Food: outstanding Service: outstanding Ambiance: amazingly warm Shout out to our amazing server Francho

    Chips
    Ash B.

    We made a reservation here for a late Sunday brunch and were pleasantly surprised by the vibrant decor, the great service, and the delicious food. We absolutely devoured our entrées hence the only pictures I got was of our appetizer (guacamole and chips) and the complimentary horchata "shots" at the end, paired with some chocolate. I love the garnish of mango in the guacamole. The chips were seasoned with some type of chili or spice, which was a nice touch. For the entrées, we ordered the chilaquiles and the enchiladas with mole. They were kind enough to make the chilaquiles without chicken. Both entrées were massive. I couldn't finish my enchiladas, which they boxed up for me nicely. We were so full that we regretfully had no room for dessert but we will be back!

    Espresso martini

    My friend lives down the block so we came here for drinks and I fell in love! Come here Thursday - Sunday dinner time to have an incredible experience with the bartender Jeremy who made me a custom cocktail with dark plantation rum that was out of this world!! (Pineapple strawberry daq to be exact!) I did not have the food but I cannot wait to come back to try this fine dining Mexican cuisine...the menu looked ELITE!!! Music was a vibe and the bar was small but inviting. Met another young woman who came solo and met new friends so whether you come by yourself or with friends, you will feel at home In this cute intimate setting.

    Is this restaurant OK for kids? Is there a separate kids menu?

    No menu for kids, but you can still bring them if they like good food

    So when they say "New Mexican" they mean New Mexican, not from New Mexico?

    yes. Mexican- fresh mixes and original spices. Not New Mexico.

    I'll just say it: best tacos in the world. Completely subjective, I know -- but Los Tacos No. 1…read moremakes it hard to argue otherwise. The ingredients are fresh, simple, and clearly quality. Tortillas are made to order right in front of you, and the whole experience just feels authentic and joyful. I had the steak and pork tacos, my friend got chicken -- we went back for a second round. That says everything. A few tips for first-timers: -- Don't sleep on the quesadillas. Seriously. -- If you like crispy tortillas, order the tostada -- they deep fry it and the result is incredible. -- Get the Horchata. It's not overly sweet and pairs perfectly with the tacos. The staff is 10/10 friendly and efficient. Don't be intimidated by the line -- it moves fast. Case in point: on a rainy morning, there was already a line at 11:01 AM (the place opens at 11). People know what they're doing here. The atmosphere is relaxed. They have nice, authentic music playing at all times. Highly, highly recommend.

I'm a native southern Californian and I was absolutely delighted at the quality of this Mexican food. After you order you give your ticket to the cook and they make your taco fresh, allowing you to get all the toppings or choose your toppings. It's really spacious, with high top rectangular tables for quick eating and some sit-down tables.

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

I had to ask the waiter for it. Took a while to get order in. We ordered two apps and one entree to share. Took even longer for our food to arrive. We ordered: Nachos - they were ok Fried calamari - overly salty, slightly fishy, and COLD Chile relleno - underwhelming, lukewarm Hibiscus pomegranate iced tea - tasted like grenadine water. Zero pomegranate or hibiscus flavor. Also, different prices between brunch and regular menu. We were charged regular menu price. Overall, super underwhelming and not worth your time or money. Chipotle would've been better than this.

Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
