    Caught up with a friend for Taco Tuesday! The space is festive and lively with bright decor. We sat at a table by the windows, and got ourselves a margarita pitcher to cool off from the summer heat wave. Our server brought us chip and salsa to start before taking our orders. I got the chicken tacos and my friend got the burrito. Little did I know that my meal came with an included margarita or draft beer for taco Tuesday! So I got a draft Modelo as well. The tacos were loaded with chicken and steaming hot. The guacamole and hot sauce that came with it were fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the meal! My friend's burrito was also sizable and looked so yummy. Overall, we had a great experience at The Red Grill. The menu is large with many options for different tastes. Highly recommend for Taco Tuesday!

    The Red Grill was so much fun today with my friends from Sunnyvale California. Robert and Janeen visit me and graciously buy me lunch every six months! I love to enjoy their company and this was a good location. I love Mexican Food especially Quesadillas and Empanadas. Today I had the Cheese Quesadillas which were delicious! I cleaned my plate and I'll definitely be getting them again. I've got the Photos of Robert and Janeen's lunch and from their clean plates I think they enjoyed their meals. As for the service I appreciate my tomato allergy was taken seriously. As far as wait time considering I changed my order it was fairly reasonable. The server changed during our visit. The man was very prompt. The female took over and our plates were finally cleaned away but I had to go up to the bar to request our check. Robert and Janeen used the bathroom so I don't know what that was like. I did find the rest of the restaurant clean very comfortable. I love the decor that's colorful and cheerful artwork. The whole place is colorful! I'm definitely returning and recommending. Note the hours on Yelp are incorrect. They open for lunch 11am which is a good time for me. Check out the bar too. It appears popular!

    Chicken and rice beans and mixed vegetables

    My chicken dish was very good, it didn't need any added seasoning in my opinion. The chicken has a hint of salt and lime flavoring. The vegetables can come separately if you don't want it on the same dish. My favorite vegetable was the mushroom caps. The waitress was very nice and respectful to me. Everything in the restaurant is covered in beautiful Mexican art, I loved it. The front entrance is not wheelchair accessible but I was able to get it through a different entrance so it ended up being disability friendly. I recommend this place for party or big event or hanging out with friends

    Please be careful and triple check your bill! They just tried to overcharge me deliberately but I checked the bill as the total amount seemed higher than expected. This was a pick up order. First, the girl taking my to-go order tried to charge me an extra $3 for the veggie taco salad (on the menu it clearly states it's 15.99, but she was trying to charge me 18.99, apart from the fact, the menu on the window has a price of 14.99 but that's ok , did not update it so I was like that fine). when i tell her hey I have been here few times and know what it costs, she then tells me let me check with my manager, comes back and says the system is wrong and she won't charge me the extra $3. At this point, I start to feel they are scamming me. I ask for the receipt, and again a scam. The first receipt is wrong where instead of giving the cash payment discount, they are adding it to the bill, not subtracting. I pointed out the mistake, and then she proceeds to print a new receipt by adding the cash discount but it is still wrong. This is the attached receipt and it gives a 3% discount but then adds it back below. The best part is - I ask for the manager and the manager instead of correcting the issue starts to tell me I am wrong and do I still want the food? I tell her your system is wrong and you should correct it, you cannot charge people like this , it's illegal. The balls on her , she tells me you want the 31 cents change? Do not patronize this place and if you do, please verify your check before playing. No idea what other shit they are pulling.

    Pros Good service Delicious white sangrias Large margaritas Small margaritas served in old fashioned milkshake glasses Modest decor Flat screens at the bar Great location Cons $$$$ Weak drinks Small portions of food

    Good times back home with great family friends.

    Came in the other night for a drink with some family friends who live on the block. Great atmosphere and even better customer service by the three young woman who served us and the bus boy who sat us. I didn't eat anything but The burrito my friend ordered not only looked delicious but she said it was. We both got frozen coconut margaritas that were very strong and delicious peris andalicious. And my other friend also got a regular Margarita that also was very good she said. Highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood looking for a drink for a drink or a good meal or just a good vibe. I know I'll be back the next time I'm back home.

    Chips and Guacamole
    Erik B.

    Wow, this was certainly not the place that I had expected. We came here with another couple to enjoy one of the local neighborhood Mexican restaurants and completely stumbled upon this place by accident. Totally unassuming on the outside, this place had a nice local authentic vibe to it with Latin music and friendly staff. We were seated in the corner on a cold snowy night and ordered sizzling hot fajitas mostly around the table. Starting out with drinks, the margaritas were excellent and we could easily taste all the spice. The fajitas were appropriately salted, which I might add is an often downside to many Mexican restaurants, and had plenty of sides to make you feel full. The prices were competitive and there was a huge menu to choose from. The guacamole is made on-site and even the chips are not overly greasy. Highly recommend this place which has made our top 10 list of restaurants on the upper east side. You won't regret it!

    If you love Mexican food The Red Grill is for you! I dined here with a friend on a Tuesday afternoon. When I arrived it was fairly empty inside so I decided to sit indoors. They're following all Covid guidelines and also provide each table with a bottle of hand sanitizer! By the time we were leaving tables were full! Complimentary chips and salsa are given once you sit down. Soooo good! Chips are not salty and the salsa isn't too spicy. For my meal I went with The Grilled Chicken Breast that comes with veggies, rice & beans. The chicken was a tad bit over cooked, veggies grilled to perfection and the rice was full of flavor. I also had a Mojito (lacking alcohol & too much mint) and a margarita (winner winner!!! Great punch to it). Although they were understaffed the waitresses came over periodically to check on us. The manager was also nice enough to personally apologize to us for the lack of staff and comped us shots. I would definitely come back to The Red Grill!

    This place has excellent outdoor seating and is my go-to for happy hour and to grab drinks. They're strong, large, and well priced! The food is okay and a little overpriced which is why I gave it 4 stars. There is ample seating inside and outside. You shouldn't need to make a reservation. There is also a separate party room that you can rent out.

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing.

Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

The atmosphere is super sweet and cozy. The restaurant was empty when we first walked in, but the second we sat down, it completely packed up!

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
