You need motion, colorful little paper flags, music and something festive to step into, to transition from work into weekend mode. And you may not know it, but you probably also need guacamole arranged in a flower shape accompanied by an Aguachile Gimlet. Before you crack the menu, La Contenta Oeste delivers festive vibes, with a staff who goes out of their way to be welcoming and super accommodating (even of the under 2-year-old crowd). And, once you do crack the menu, yes--the cocktails are excellent, as is the food. Plus, the fact that it boasts the first 100% Mexican wine list (150 bottles and counting, apparently) in the USA is also super cool.

I dined at La Contenta Oeste on a Friday night, during prime dinner hours. The restaurant was busy…read moreand LOUD and HOT, but I was fortunate that they were able to accommodate our table of 8 in a nice booth. We shared their guac and then all ordered a variety of entrees. I had the steak tacos, which initially didn't sound filling enough because they came as 2 mini-ish tacos. It ended up being enough and the guac dressing (?) they paired with it was the most memorable part (the steak was good but it didn't stand out). One of my friends had brought a cake to serve after and the restaurant charged us $24 to serve it. Part of me understands this, but it also seemed like an unnecessary charge...we've been at plenty of restaurants that don't do this so that's where my bias is coming from ~~ Overall, the experience was very fine. Not bad, but the smaller space of the restaurant just made it so we had to scream across the table and we're very mindful of the space we were taking up.

First time at Pineapple Club! Trendy restaurant with brunch food. Food was high quality but nothing…read moresuper memorable! The chips and guacamole were basic and not worth the price in my opinion. Calamari was perfectly crispy but also too salty. My favorite was probably the pork and hash dish. It was interesting since the pork and potatoes looked exactly the same so it was a surprise with every bite for what you're getting LOL. Service was a little slow and I was also surprised that they didn't provide a free dessert or a free drink for my friend. When I made a reservation, I noted that it was my friend's birthday. We ordered a lot of food and also drinks (forgot to take photos of the drinks) but no dessert was offered. When I've made reservations at other restaurants for a friend's birthday, they usually do something special, whether that's a small dessert on the house or a card.

He…read morerecommended this place so I was pretty excited since I've never been!They specialize in quality tequila and mezcal! The entrance is somewhat hidden and I almost walked past it. From the entrance there is a tiny patio and down the stairs little cute bar area. Down stairs is the bathroom and up stairs is larger seating! We got the Pine and Passion and Spicy Rabbit!, along with beef quesadilla and some guacamole. The drink menu eat the time was limited but I believe they will have their entire menu again soon with 40+ drinks! The Spicy Rabbit was delicious and packed full of flavor. On the sweeter side but very unique cause it's made out of carrot liquor! Pine and passion super refreshing and another great choice if you don't want spicy. The guacamole and beef quesadilla were delicious as well. Earlier that day I had invited a few friends to join us who both said no, but then suddenly turned up. The maya mezcal wasn't too busy and was super nice to re seat us upstairs since we ended up with 7 people total. My friends ordered the grilled avocado, chicken and more guacamole. All dishes were delicious. Grilled avocado was definitely a first and very interesting, but chicken was definitely better lol. I had such a great time I brought my brother for quick drink who was visiting New York later that week. He loved the spicy rabbit as well and had a great time chatting with bartender. Overall a solid bar and cute date spot. Will def be back to try their other drinks and food! Definitely recommend this place for anything from quick drinks, dinner, date to girls night!

I miss what this place used to be!…read more Formerly Mayahuel, Mayamezcal is a small, dark and intimate cocktail bar and restaurant on east 6th. We popped in early Saturday evening and was maybe one of two tables (it was early on a Saturday and it's also dark inside on one of the first really beautiful, warm Spring days in NYC). The decor has changed over the years (less character, especially upstairs in the dining area), and service was overall okay. We got a few drinks, an order of chips and salsa aka Salsa Fresca, and a few food items off the menu to try. Food: Salsa Fresca (Chips and Salsa): was extremely overpriced at $10 for a small handful of half-stale chips and what felt like a tablespoon of flavorless salsa. Camarones El Diablo (Shrimp in a spicy Diablo sauce): 5 medium size shrimp for $16 in a tasty, spicy sauce, with some warmed up store-bought flour tortilla. Steak Quesadilla: the best meal one of us got - steak was a flavorful ribeye and the quesadilla overall had plenty of protein, too. It had a good balance of cheese, steak, tortilla, and pickled onions. Trio of Tacos: nothing special, and again at $20 ? Overpriced. Cocktails: One of us ordered the Mezcal Sour, and I got the Spicy Rabbit - both were not very boozy and definitely not worth $18 each. This was a bit of a disappointment, honestly. And considering what Mayahuel used to be, I hope they can make a comeback. But, based on this visit, we won't be back.

I've been here three times now, so I think I've gotten a pretty good feel for the place. The birria…read morequesadilla is consistently excellent and easily my favorite thing on the menu. The drinks have also been great from what I remember. My only recurring issue has been with the nachos. They taste really good, but almost every time I've ordered them, the chicken has come on the side instead of on top or mixed in. The second time we asked about it, the staff seemed a little annoyed by the confusion, so the last time I just left it alone. Next time I'll be more upfront when ordering to make sure it's prepared the way I'm expecting. The ambiance is fun, especially on the entrance level. The downstairs seating, though, feels a bit cramped and claustrophobic. Overall, I'd definitely go back--I'd just stick with the birria quesadilla and be clearer about my nacho order.

Atla serves up elevated Mexican food in an elegant, modern setting. During my most recent time here, I had the Lobster burrito - I ate it SO fast. It truly hit the spot.

I'm confused at the reviews here as this to me feels like many places I've been in Mexico City,…read moreGuadalajara, and elsewhere in Mexico. Albeit the prices are higher, but we're in NYC, in Noho no less. The food is tasty, flavorful, filling, and there's a good amount of options. We had a great crudo that was out of this world. One of the best bites I've had all month. The Pastor Gringa was so tasty and flavorful, that tortilla it is on deserves its own award. The Chilaquiles are good, but nothing beyond standard Chilaquiles, and the Octopus taco was okay. Cocktails were out of this world, ever cocktail hit with a 10/10, exceeding the food, and the cost for the cocktails was in line with what you would expect. Their Carajillo, while not on the menu, was one of the best Carajillos in NYC. Ending the meal with fresh, hot churros was a treat so worth indulging in that I can very much imagine coming in for a cocktail and some churros at some point!

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience. We had a reservation for two at 5:30 PM, and…read morethe owner personally seated us at our table. At no point were we told that the table had a time limit or that we needed to leave by 7:20 PM. Throughout our dinner, we continued ordering food and drinks and adding items to our check. At around 7:10 PM, our server brought us the check, which was the first time we became aware that there was an expiration time on our table. I asked to speak with the manager and explained that this had never been communicated to us. Instead of acknowledging the lack of communication, the owner became defensive and refused to take accountability. He was rude and dismissive throughout the conversation. I was respectful and tried to address the situation calmly, but I did not feel that my concerns were heard or taken seriously. The service overall was disappointing, but the way the owner handled the situation was what made the experience particularly unpleasant and unprofessional. We were actively ordering and spending money throughout our time there, so being abruptly given the check without ever having been told about a time limit was frustrating. Unfortunately, this was an awful experience, and I would not return. I would not want other customers to go through the same experience. Clear communication about the table's time limit and a more respectful response from the owner would have made a significant difference.
