    Outside
    Paul P.

    The Staten Island Mall location is way better. Came on a Thursday afternoon with a party of 8. Was seated outside although there was enough for us to sit inside. We were cramped into a 4 person table. there was another table behind us that we were blocking the entrance to and the waiter wasn't able to tend to their table. Two waiters and no one came to check on us, fill our waters, or even give us the correct food orders. Waited around 15 minutes before anyone even took our order. When we ordered, it was 5 different apps and all that came out was 2 nachos, and a quesadilla. The only correct orders were all the drinks. We couldnt even really rate the food since it wasnt even hot when we got them. The wrong order and there wasnt even enough plates and utensils to go around. I am surprised since it was not even busy. No chips or guac for the table. No waters. Needed to add salt.

    Desserts (Horchata Flan is the best)

    Haven't been in a while and decided to come by for a small bite and drinks. Honestly was surprised by how much better it was this time around. The margaritas are delicious and even the mocktails are great made with fresh fruit. The blueberry was so so good. Also loved the pineapple gauc. The caramelization added a nice touch of sweetness to complement the heat of jalapeño. Will definitely come back to try some more dishes!

    The quesdilla was good but not the best imo but good drinks and friendly ppl. I still really like the bathroom. Secret guac was not spicy will ask for it to be spicy next time hehe

    My husband and I along with my adult son took me out for " Mother's Day " dinner we had a bad experience with a place my son made reservations for . In A panic , he called " Sofia's Taqueria " and they said to come right in . Besides the warm , friendly , and sweet atmosphere , our waitress " Kaylee " was very attentive to our needs . And the food holy margaritas everything was just delicious . And at the end Kaylee even helped us to capture memories with our iPhone . Thank you for a memorable mom's day !

    This is our 3rd visit to Sofia's Taqueria and it has sealed its place as a top dining destination. Bar tender Eric is truly a professional and has excellent customer service down to a science. We sat at the bar (which I never do) because the restaurant was full. He took our drink and food orders and the food came out fast, fresh and hot. Our drinks were the coconut mojito and mango margarita. Then someone cancelled an order for a strawberry mango margarita so we added it to our order and it was delicious; so now I have a favorite drink here :) Dinner was excellent, we had the shrimp and corn empanadas and the crab empanadas as the appetizer. For the main my husband had the chicken fajitas and I had the shrimp tacos. We also had guacamole and chips. Everything was perfect. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation if you plan on coming on the weekend. Enjoy!

    Mexican Coffee

    Stopped into have brunch the steak and eggs were surprisingly good very well cooked steak was tender and flavorful eggs were perfect.... My coffee cocktail was a really good compliment... The ambience is always energetic.

    Chips guacamole, mango salso, blackened chicken burrito.

    Our first visit. Sunday Brunch. Great service. Food was fresh and delicious. Only negatives for me is it was freezing in there and the music sucks. Going back to the the sangria andhave some more of that amazing guacamole!

    Cabbage Slaw
    Natalie R.

    If you like Americanized Mexican food then this is place for you. They use American cheese and smother everything with cream or sauce. I can't taste anything past the mayonnaise and the cream. I do not recommend. The Guac is slightly better but it had pieces of overly ripe (almost rotten) avocados. Their cabbage slaw is also American made with mayonnaise instead of a vinegar base. Service was great.

    I go there frequently. Last time we got 3 drinks, cod, chicken and enchiladas. Great food, fast service, and very unique atmosphere. The portions are large. We always have leftovers for lunch the following day. Great place for a date or a family dinner.

    Very Chill Vibes…read more The coupe is one of the only places in Staten Island you can go to get real cocktails after hours. They have great mixologist that actually take pride in their work. I got a Sazerac with cognac, I usually get that but this time they didn't have Pierre Ferran for they only had Ansac. I personally don't care for Ansac so I believe it totally changed the taste of the drink. The bartender could tell. I didn't like it and he asked me about four times " Are you sure I change it? It doesn't matter." I'm like if you're gonna ask me that many times then let's change it. So I got a sidecar and that was fire.

They also took our group picture! :) We ordered 2 orders of the Basement Snacks: For Two, 2 orders of their raw oysters for appetizers. For my entree I ordered the Shrimp Carbonara Rossa with a side of Asparagus. Everything was so good. Their buffalo wings were perfectly marinated and not too saucy, their ribs were so tender and the meat fell straight off the bone! My carbonara was also delicious. For dessert they even gave an anniversary treat which was so sweet. I ordered a Chocolate Cappuccino which was also great. 11/10! Wonderful and would recommend.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

Since we were big fans of those alcohols, we decided to check it out. The walls of the space were covered in colorful murals with Latin American imagery. There were banquettes along either wall with small tables and ottomans scattered in front of them, providing separate, little areas for each group. Large playing cards were fanned across each table with Jack, Queen, King, and Ace cards each having a menu on its backside. There were bar bites, a spirits list, classic cocktails that could be reimaged with your agave spirit of choice (picture a tequila mojito), and even a custom beverages. The creative drinks were not cheap, coming in at around $20 on average, but they certainly were complex! My La Balacara featured Casamigos Mezcal, spiced pear, Luxardo, orange, ginger, chestnut honey, and a chili tincture. I thought the drink sounded outrageous, but, sadly, all I tasted was that honey, the ingredient of which I was least interested. In fact, the smokiness of the mezcal really did not play well with the chestnut honey, leaving it to taste sort of like licorice. I was not a fan. My companion's El Encanto included Casamigos Cristalino, Lillet Blanc, strawberry-lemongrass cordial, guava, and basil, which sounded herbaceous, but really just tasted like a fancy daiquiri. He enjoyed it, but I found it unimpressive. Our drinks were accompanied by a complementary bowl of spiced popcorn, which was delicious. We had come from an earlier dinner, so the snack was as much as I needed. However, the few larger food items that I saw others order all looked great. While I would go back to Perico to try some other items, I felt like I had had better, more affordable cocktails upstairs at Panela.

I asked for two cacti tacos, also known as the Taco Azteca at this taqueria as recommended by the other Yelpers. I started with two because I heard that their tacos run big. These tacos were enormous and I was full eating after just one taco and saved the other one for an afternoon snack!! They also give you a generous cup of green sauce, which is one of my favorites! Because normally when getting a cactus taco in the other boroughs, they only give you a straight vegetarian taco only, but I was very surprised it came with a big chunk of meats. For $10-12 for two big giant tacos, I feel like I am getting fed very well. I'll definitely be back again to try their lamb/goat soup as recommended by the other Yelpers.
