    Chicken Tacos
    Simone E.

    I came here recently for my co-worker's birthday celebration and I'm a bit indifferent about the experience. For one, the place is big and I do like that there was an indoor and an enclosed outdoor section. There were tons of heaters that made sitting outdoors comfortable. Indoors were a bar and high tables with a live DJ. It was packed and there was one server that was attending to the backyard. He was a bit overwhelmed and was trying but then gave me the wrong drink and meal. When I got my correct drink (mango margarita), all the mango syrup was at the bottom and it didn't have the kick in it that I thought it would have. The chicken tacos were decent, it was just a bit bland and needed a bit more seasoning. In the end, the server didn't seem compassionate about my drink situation and food and even charged me as well. This place seems to have a lot of potential, but isn't equipped to handle large amounts of people and catering to customer service.

    Was a wonderful ambiance service and food the music was dope the DJ was pumping we had a great time everyone there was kind the bartenders were great w us definitely had a good experience and would go there again

    yeah two margaritas for 41 dollars is absolutely insane. why are you adding auto gratuity on our check when all you did was bring us, 2 people, one drink each, 20 minutes after we ordered them.. server was nice and we still tipped but thats an insane policy. yikes!

    Everybody I was with said the food was good by far the best thing we ordered was the fish tacos. Only complaint is the website isn't updated with the menu. Service is good and it has a chill hip chic ambiance in Harlem. Would reccomend.

    Tios chicken sandwich

    Five star for the service. The waitress was very friendly and nice. I ordered a sangria and when my friend came, we ordered a Sangria pitcher. Both were okay, nothing great and in fact the sangria was diluted. When it comes to food, I ordered Tios chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the veggie salad with arugula and avocado. There was a hint of aioli in the sandwich but it was so dry. The salad was a very poor excuse for a dish. Hated the food, drinks were ehhhh service was great but for the price I paid, I left there feeling cheated. Won't recommend this place to anyone

    I loved this place! I came here with a friend who lives in the area and has frequented this restaurant. I trust his judgement, so I knew it would be good. They have outdoor seating as well, which was nice - although there's a fish store nearby and they were cleaning before they closed up (we were here for dinner), so there were some interesting smells. Other than that, this place was amazing. I had chips and salsa, a mojito and the chicken enchiladas, my go to entree at a

    From the moment we approached this establishment, the decor intrigued my wife and I. They have their menu on the outside so we decided to check it out. As we were doing that, Luis the bartender, came out and gave us suggestions of entrees. We decided this was our place to have dinner at that point and we made a great choice. My wife had the chicken, mash with veggies while I had the salmon mash and veggies. Both were amazing and had us wanting more. Normally we don't do dessert but our experience was so good that we opted to have something. We asked Luis for his opinion and he said Apple Tart with Ice cream was his fav, so we gave it a shot. The apples were fresh and the ice cream was smooth making a perfect combo. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Harlem. Everything is so good. I always try something new when I go and I am NEVER disappointed! It's definitely a hidden gem.

    This place is nice for having a couple of drinks with a few friends. It's small and never gets crowded. The salmon used to be amazing but they may have changed cooks. They also used to have the best steak/ Carne Asada. It lacks flavor now. The Lobster tostadas appetizer had a tangy citrus overload taste. The virgin fruit punch looked and taste good just a little too sweet.

    Pina Coladas
    Alexis T.

    GREAT FOOD PERIOD! Last night my sister and I stopped by a little before 9 and got a table outside for dinner. I, unfortunately, don't remember our server's name but him and the gentlemen that served our food and cleaned our table were very nice. We ordered two frozen Pina Coladas, I ordered the Carnes Asada and she ordered the Camarones en Tomate. Everything looked and smelled delicious, I didn't even want to ruin my plate. But of course, I did for a good cause. Pros - nice size portioned shrimp and the sauce was delicious - the steak was buttery and perfectly seasoned everything about the plate was good. - Sweet plantains weren't fried too hard, just right - You'll definitely need a reservation for the later hours. We got lucky with snatching the last available table, but we were eating I noticed that cars were double parking just waiting for a res. - This restaurant is truly a neighborhood treasure and full of good vibes. Cons - I should have ordered a 32oz and not a 16oz drink! I'll definitely be coming back for takeout and trying out the other dishes. Thanks for a nice escape from quarantine.

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*

There's a camaraderie in the room that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly experience both the conversation and the food. Everything feels considered. My best friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu, and it was a journey from start to finish. I began with the Spicy Corn & Coconut Soup--honestly, unforgettable. The crispy shallots added just the right amount of texture against the velvety base, and each spoonful layered flavor in a way that felt both comforting and elevated. For my main, I had the kichuri, and Chef Alex Guzman absolutely shines here. He is a star--full stop. There's a clarity and confidence in his cooking that you can taste. The cilantro chutney was perfection, and the way the mint lingers alongside the spice... it's the kind of balance that only comes from someone who truly understands their craft. You can feel his care in every bite. I ended with the key lime pie, and all I can say is thank you. The whipped cream was fresh and airy, the lime zest bright without overpowering, and the crust tied everything together beautifully. It felt like a thoughtful, intentional close to an already incredible meal. I highly recommend starting with the guava mocktail, then pairing your main with the fig mocktail--both are perfectly crafted and complement the dishes so well. Also, sit at the bar. Let Dan guide you through the experience. Trust his recommendations--you will not be steered wrong. He elevates the entire evening. And the playlist? Y'all really did that.

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.
