    Frozen margarita
    Katie B.

    So happy I stopped in here! I had a couple margaritas elsewhere and they just weren't good - so I was ready for an ACTUAL margarita. I am an official connoisseur at this point. These exceeded my expectations. Loved chatting with Karen (her and her sister are the owners) and learning more about the restaurant, neighborhood along with their authentic cocktails and cuisine. I had just eaten but I had to try the queso fundido which was soooo good. The spicy margarita (love that there are spice levels, I had the ancho) was absolutely wonderful and the frozen margaritas were great as well. Can't wait to come back!

    The service was prompt. The food was delicious and the ambience is very trendy. Great spot for a drink after work.

    Churros

    My partner and I wanted us to try a new place in the Bronx. So when we stumbled on to this restaurant, we stepped right in. Food: 4/5 I wanted to go out since this is a new restaurant. So we ordered alot! - Guacamole - two drinks - molcajete para Dos - churros My favorite has to be the gauc and Al Pastor tacos. You can tell that were made fresh and with alot of attention to detail. The churros were tasty and fulled with dulce. Sadly, it burned my tongue due to my impatience so we have bad blood now. All in our damage since the 20% auto fee for all tables, was around $140. So, not bad for the amount of food. Service: 5/5 The service was amazing! I have no qualms since they were nothing but kind. I am pretty bad at Spanish so, being lactose intolerant did not help. But, they were accommodating and I can't wait to see them again. All in all, I am definitely going back. However, I will order less as I definitely overate. I am looking forward to trying new tacos next time!

    Stumbled into a great restaurant. Vibrant and lively restaurant with friendly staff. I ordered steak nachos and carnitas tacos take out. I was surprised how crispy the nachos remained with the toppings even after I walked home and ate. It was absolutely tasty, then I tasted the tacos and was delighted at its delectable flavor. The pork was unctuously juicy. Definitely have to return!

The Vibe Cozy, comfortable, and full of surprises. Some nights are mellow and chill, perfect for catching up with friends. Other nights, you'll walk in and it feels like a Colombian street festival -- music pumping, people celebrating, energy everywhere. The Drinks This is a cocktail-first spot, and their selection is next-level. If you don't know what to order, just tell the staff what flavors or spirits you like -- they'll craft something spot-on every time. Presentation? Always . The Food Yes, they have bites -- but don't come hungry. The small plates are designed to complement your drinks, not replace dinner. The Extras Live DJs, curated sets, and even surprise performances -- this place keeps things fresh and exciting without losing its cozy feel. The Staff Absolutely outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, and they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Good vibes in, good vibes back. Overall, one of my favorite spots in the city. Whether you want a low-key Tuesday or a Saturday night that feels like carnival season, this place delivers every time.

Enough space to feel like you're not on top of each other, but not really a place for huge parties. Probably great to do a buyout for birthdays, etc. The happy hour (food & drink) is affordable with a nice selection and runs a good length of time (5-7pm). The non-happy hour menu is the real gem though. A little pricey for the neighborhood, but the quality is on par with cocktail bars down in the villages, so well worth it. Service is quick without being overbearing, and casual without being lazy. Handsome bartender and server. Better to make a reservation later into the night closer to and on the weekend because the space fills up fast. *will update this review when I've tried more of the food*

    I'm surprised I've never written a review for this place considering how often I come here. It's…read moreeasily one of my favorite neighborhood spots in Harlem. The vibe is chill, relaxed, and very neighborhood-friendly. Even when it's busy, it never feels overwhelming, and they're usually very accommodating with walk-ins. The service is also some of the best I've experienced in Harlem. My go-to is the roasted duck, which is consistently excellent. It's cooked medium to medium-rare and comes with mango, onions, vegetables, and greens. Easily one of my favorite dishes in the neighborhood. The drinks are great too. I recently had the Nas, their take on a Manhattan, and it was incredibly smooth--one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a while. Overall, 10/10. A hidden gem on Lenox between 119th and 120th and definitely one of the best spots in Harlem.

    Came in for NY Restaurant week! Ordered the Sage Knees and the Crime of Passion for our drinks…read more(both were enjoyed). We both had Brussel Sprouts, good, but the bites without the sauce did taste like bland Brussel sprouts. I had the lamb ribs, very good. They do warn you before that the ribs have a bit of fat on them, I think in the context of NY restaurant week I'm happy to pay it but as a solo entree, the amount of fat vs meat would have annoyed me. My friend had the duck, she enjoyed it. But it is very much salad with a side of duck, I believe she had 6 pieces of duck (pictured) and then a mango, arugula and onion salad. Dessert was very good, but I do hope those are not the usual portion sizes and maybe they just served smaller for NY restaurant week. Which I really didn't mind as I was full from the entree and sprouts. Servers were really nice, this place seems to have its regulars and a nice garden sitting area towards the back. Would overall recommend

I noticed the great ratings along with all the reviews and photos of the burger, so we decided to check it out. We ended up getting a table in the back room by the windows. The place has a very chill vibe. I also noticed they provide Uno cards, and a few people were playing while enjoying their drinks. I already knew what I was getting, the Winnie Smash ($18), a double-patty smash burger that comes with a house-style mac sauce and fries. The burger was solid, and I really enjoyed the crispy fries. I also ordered a side of BBQ sauce ($1.50). I washed it all down with a couple of draft beers. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this place if you're looking for good food and drinks in a laid-back atmosphere. * Street parking * Sunday Football special

Bird in Hand has a lineup of fun weekly events (Oyster Mondays, trivia nights, and more), plus a delightfully eccentric cocktail menu. My partner and I tried the Bambi and Strawberry Fields Forever, and both were outstanding. Bonus points for being a cocktail bar that actually has great food. The fried chicken dinner plate was excellent--crispy on the outside, remarkably juicy on the inside. A fantastic first impression, and definitely not my last visit

    This is another somewhat new spot in Harlem whose vibe I can't quite grasp, mainly because I'm not…read moresure who they're trying to attract. It feels like a coffee shop, bar, café, lounge and pre-party stop all at once. The bar staff were "nightclub friendly", they had party energy that this place doesn't warrant. They'd make fun hosts for a great party. The space itself is confusing in an interesting way. It's cold from the tiles and exposed pipes, yet warm from the wooden walls and historic decorative figures. Maybe the idea is that you show up with your group and shape the experience into whatever you want it to be. Still, I'm of the opinion that it's a shared effort. If I'm coming out and spending my money, I deserve an experience. Let me know who you are, and I can decide if you pass my vibe check. This mystified, vaguely eclectic, "we're different but won't say how" approach makes it harder to give new places a chance. I don't see a long shelf life for this one, but hey, I'm just a customer.

The place is narrow but long and def maximize the space which made it feel big. Got a couple Narragansett Lagers ($6 each) to start and the Spanish & artichoke dip ($16) which was really good and it's served with sliced buttered baguette bread that was toasted which was a great compliment. Also got a Kentucky mule ($17) which was solid and pretty strong. They also have a backyard patio with seating, def a chill vibe. I could see why this is my friends go to spot.
