    Curious from the great reviews, I was hoping to eat some great food. We managed to get there in time for HH even though it was so cold and snowing. We were able to get seated at a table near the bar area since it was fairly empty. We ordered a margarita and a Pasion Caliente. The margarita was good, but I've had better...I didn't care for the other drink. I also had a Tamarind frozen margarita later and that was surprisingly tasty but none of the drinks were really strong. We tried the chicharron appetizer which was different than what I saw online. It came in a bowl and I thought it was really over-seasoned. It tasted like they mixed it with Asian spices, like chili oil or something..I didn't like it. We got 4 steak tacos and 4 fish tacos. It was advertised as half off all tacos but it was buy one get one so it turned out to be a lil too much food. The fish tacos were actually pretty good. Fried fish with slaw, hard to mess up but I did not care for the steak taco. They put a lot of cheese which wasn't necessary. This isn't Taco Bell .. cheese on steak? L simply saw steak tacos but didn't read the description.. I couldn't finish even one, cheese ruined it for me. L also got the carne asada. We liked the fingerling potatoes .. steak was fine. I do cook a great steak so for us, it wasn't anything special but much better than the tacos. We'd prefer it not sliced but at least there wasn't cheese on it. We ordered their Tres Leches. Their version is Tiramisu-ish...but it's just so dense, it wasn't bad but I expected more from the reviews. Still it was better than the steak tacos and it was really filling. Definitely something to share... Our server was attentive. He brought everything quickly, even our drinks though it wasn't busy. Food was just okay; they're trying to be creative or something. I did like the decor/size of the restaurant but I didn't think the food or drinks were that great. It looked much better than it tasted.

    The servers were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is authentic and well made. The tortillas tasted home made. Loved how the chorizo was crumbled and they were able to accommodate the spice level by putting sauces on the side. The restaurant is clean, tasteful and more importantly the bathroom was clean and cute for an adorbs selfie. My only area of opportunity is their mango mocktail. Didn't taste enough like mango.

    Talavera is a modern Mexican restaurant that truly transports you the moment you walk through the door. The vibrant colors and lush plant décor made it feel like we had stepped straight into Mexico, creating a warm and beautiful atmosphere. We were welcomed by a friendly Filipino server whose hospitality set the tone for a wonderful evening. The food was absolutely over the top like the crispy nachos, deliciously creamy esquites, and fish tacos bursting with flavor. Just when we thought the meal couldn't get any better, dessert arrived: the fried ice cream was simply amazing. To our delight, we were also treated to complimentary margaritas, which made the night feel even more special. Everything about the experience was perfect, and we will definitely be going back.

    Felt the warm vibes entering Nizuk from the chilly streets of NYC. Located in Hudson yards this is the place for upscale Mexican food. Bellied up to the bar for a cocktail after arriving a bit early for our reservation and were greeted by there team of bartenders. Many options of tequilas line the bar with a great selection of offerings. Once seated we shared chips with Queso and street corn esquites which were on point. Entrees included Tuna Tostada with mango,smoky salsa macha and habanero. Pork belly tacos and fish tacos with tempura cod. Service was uber friendly and attentive. All this in a beautiful setting made for our best meal of our stay in NYC.

    Went here today with my dad post ny autoshow. Got the chips and salsa (3 types of salsa that honestly tasted similar after eating all 3 but delicious nonetheless!), the tuna tostadas, and the gringo tacos. The tacos were legit and very tasty (quality meat) but a bit skimpy on portion size. The tuna tostadas were bomb. vmVery fresh, flavorful, and sat on a crispy toastada which was nice. Definitely check it out!

    I went with my cousin to Nizuc and it did not disappoint at all plus our server Juan was amazing. First and foremost, the ambience was really nice and it was packed on a weekday which I believe speaks for itself. Second, if you opt for the HH at the bar it has quite a decent menu. Third, the food but more so the desserts are great. Here's what we had- Tuna Tostada- this was honestly just average IMHO and I've had better. Also, my cousin is allergic to avocado and the tostadas have avocado on them albeit this is not listed on the menu (we let our server know and he said he will definitely relay it to management), Clams- I no longer see this on their menu online but it was really good. A more than adequate amount of clams were given in a tasty light broth with saffron rice- what's not to love? Nizuc Salad- I usually don't go for salads but our server said it was really good and it definitely was. It was a big portion and the citrus vinaigrette complemented it very well. Tiranizuc- aforementioned, the desserts at this place are absolutely amazing. This dessert is basically a crossover between a tiramisu and a tres leches and it's fantastic. Definitely a must try. Natilla de chocolate- just like the Tiranizuc, this dessert is really good and unique as well. There's multiple layers to it including dulce de leche and chocolate custard- yes it is as delicious as it sounds. All and all, I'll 100% be back at Nizuc.

    A winner. An amazing menu with so many fun options. Ceviche! Great flavor with wonderful kick. The tostada with tuna... good choice too... we shared fish and pork belly tacos... octopus and guacamole next time... great menu, people and just fun!

    CARNE ASADA

    Came here for dinner with a group of four. The ambiance is interesting - at first look you think it's classy but then you notice they are going for a more playful vibe as well. They had a live DJ and they were playing music and remixes you would expect at a club. The service was attentive. Maybe a bit too attentive since it wasn't that busy on a rainy day. The food was really good. We got: - Guacamole with tostadas as chips - Branzino fish - Chicken with red mole - Carne asada - Pork belly al pastor taco - TiraNizuc - Natilla De Chocolate The Branzino fish entree was my favorite! It's cooked perfectly and I like how there's no hint of bitterness - which I've tasted in many other restaurants. I have never had the red mole before. It's much spicier than the classic darker colored one I'm used to. It was too spicy for me but I liked how they have the option to keep the chicken feet on the dish. It was aesthetically pleasing! One of the dish came with a side salad and purple corn tortillas. Delicious meal and a great time! Would recommend.

    Came back for brunch and happy to report that Nizuc consistently delivers. My fingers are crossed that one day they add chilaquiles roja to the menu because even though the chilaquiles verde were cooked perfectly and super flavorful, I just love roja sauce so much more. The coffee that we had was pretty good too.

    Sizzling Fajitas with eggplant

    Beautiful ambiance and conveniently located by Hudson Yards.Ive walked past many times it never thought to stop in until recently being invited to a group dinner. We were promptly seated. Good spot for larger groups. We tried the spicy mango guacamole, which was okay. Didn't really stand out. The corn equites (street corn) app was good. For vegetarians the main dishes were sorta limited to a mushroom dish, mini tacos, and fajitas. I wish they had more items with beans vs a mushroom heavy item. Presentation of the mushroom on pipian was beautiful, but didn't care for the dish with the heavy load of mushrooms. The squash blossom tacos are small and needed some salsa. Looked like a pan fried pepper in a mini tortilla. I had to add the street corn for some zest! Finally the fajitas are typically made with jackfruit, which they were out of. Instead it was substituted with eggplant. The overall food was average, but staff was nice and the restaurant is beautiful.

    Ribeye Tacos

    Really enjoyed lunch at Nizuc!! The food was delicious. I had zero expectations as it's very close to my house but really enjoyed it and will definitely be back to try items on the dinner menu. This restaurant is huge in the service was very fast. The steak tacos were delicious. Perfectly seasoned.

    Chicken mole. Really enjoyed it

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.

If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). 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.

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.
