I ordered their birria tacos and they sadly were not comparable to other ones I've had in the city. The consome wasn't as flavorful, and the meat was not as tender. Other people I went with try their chicken tacos and they seem to like them so maybe it was just the birria ones that were not great.

This makes me Incredibly sad to write this review. We are from out of town. When we plan trips to…read moreNYC we also make it a point to go to Rancho in Hells Kitchen. The first couple times we've been there the bartender has made us the BEST Paloma we've ever had; that's why we go back. In this recent visit the bartender was drunk off his tail, he could barely function. SOOO DRUNK it was almost embarrassing. I believe his name was Juan based off the receipt. He was WASTED doing shots with every customer. We sat at the bar and It took him Over 15 minutes to take our order. After he argued with me about Espalon; he finally started to make our drinks. Keep in mind we also placed a food order with him as well. The bartender asked us 2 additional times if we wanted to order food. Yes, we gave him our order two times before. Bartender obviously has an issue with alcohol and can't perform his job his job correctly without being wasted. Last time coming here as we went to the Peruvian spot next door and received excellent service and immaculate drinks at Kausa. Again. Sad to write this review as we have loved our experience in the past. I hope yall budgeted for how many free shots he was giving out. Added 2 stars cause the flautas were bomb and overall this place has potential

Taqueria Al Pastor tastes very similar to Los Tacos No 1. The price points are essentially the…read moresame. You just don't have the long wait and you don't have to follow their rule with paying first, and then having to take your receipt and go stand in another line to find a chef available to make your tacos. So I'd say come where for your tacos. They basically taste the same and costs the same. The wait is a lot less and you don't have to go stand in another line to just get your tacos made. Plus the seating in Shaver Hall is a lot more appealing than at Los Tacos.

The team works fast, not a long wait, just a few minutes. I've been here 3x now. Dined in the food hall, communal seatings and shared napkins. It was nice to just people-watch. The other times were takeaways and were still in good shape - tho, the corn tortillas were a little soggy. I had carne asada 2x and al pastor 1x. I prefer the carne asada, probably bc I like steak more. I also got their guac & chips all 3x. That's worth it! The guac was creamy and flavorful. Chips were made fresh so not stale like some chain. Order: 2 tacos, guac and chips, and a jarito + tip, about $28. (Little pricey but it's midtown rent prices) I will for sure be a returning customer!

Stopped by Tacos del Barrio near Times Square with high hopes but was not too happy with my meal…read more The place was ok but fell short of my expectations. The place is fine and has a nice simple menu with a decent selection. I ordered the carne asada and al pastor quesadillas. The good part was that they do add a lot of meat inside the quesadillas and certainly did not skimp on the filling. However, I thought the meat was very bland. The meats had basically no flavor, but they did have a nice texture and tenderness. Additionally, I ordered mine with corn tortillas, and they fell apart almost as soon as I picked up the quesadillas, making it very difficult to eat them. Lastly, the quesadillas were very greasy. In terms of beverages, I did enjoy the piña agua Fresca. The location is convenient and the service was excellent, but the food isn't the best. It's not terrible but certainly not memorable enough to want to return again. There are definitely better options around Times Square to choose from.

For drinks I had a lemonade (that was just ok...but I was so hot so I down it) and my friend ordered "La Tia", which just determined the size, and had a coconut marg. She loved it! We started off with the chips with guac and salsa, and man, was that guac hitting! The elote also came out to start, and I just LOVE when it's served "off the bone". Much quicker way to get in my mouth! It was delicious! Next came out our grilled chicken burrito. We decided to split one so we could also order the tacos we wanted. I'm know; genius, right!? That burrito was FANTASTIC. I was so happy they had a grilled chicken option, because I can't stand shredded chicken. While we waited for our tacos we ordered ANOTHER elote (guys...it was that good) and then came out my birria tacos and her sashimi tacos. We dogged those things. We ate EVERYTHING. Sidenote: our server Daniel (jeez I hope that's his name) was so quick and friendly! I loved everything about this place and will definitely be back for more good eats!!

This restaurant has very moody and dim lightning, which is perfect for a date night or night out with friends! Service is on the slower side, but not necessarily a bad thing as you aren't rushed. We shared a pitcher of red sangria (delicious not too strong) along with the elote as an appetizer. I got the cheese enchiladas for my main, which was great (not too oily). The salsa was unique and flavorful! Another plus is it's quite close to the ferry, which is convenient for commuters. Reasonable and fair pricing all things considered

El Coco is a small, cozy restaurant with a few tables up front, across from the bar, and more tables towards the back, near the kitchen. Don't expect art-lined walls, but you can expect festive music and amazing vibes. You can also expect staff who will go the extra mile and a bartender who makes some of the best cocktails in the neighborhood. My brunch meal of chicken and waffles was delicious and presented quite well. My only wish is that it came with a bit more syrup and butter to spread, but that said, the chicken was fried to perfection, and the bite-sized waffles hit the spot.

Especially with everyone's winter jackets, everyone was kind of pressed into each other. Music is kinda loud too. We all ordered from restaurant week menu (3 courses for $30). - Soup of the day (chicken soup): I enjoyed this bechase of how cold it's been! I didn't care for the shredded chicken though. - alba salad - arroz con pollo: my friend enjoyed this - chimichanga: my friend enjoyed this - carne asada: I regret getting this. It came with fries which were kinda plain. The meat was dry so I had to dip it in a sauce - Mexican tiramisu: I ordered this but they ran out so we all got the flan cake instead - flan cake: this was pretty good but nothing special The bathrooms are downstairs and the staircase to descend is kinda scary cause there's not much of a handrail on the left side so stay cautious! Overall, I probably won't come back. Service was good, our server was nice. Food was nothing special.
