Excellent Tex-Mex for those of us who miss the real deal. Great queso, margaritas and my fajitas were right on. Give it a shot, good stuff.

Homesick Southerners, rejoice! Queso has finally arrived in New York City. This month we're adding this Hell’s Kitchen spot to the list of queso joints. It’s a good time for Tex-Mex enthusiasts. Read more

I got the Pablo deluxe combo. The enchiladas were great. The puffy taco was bad. The tortilla tasted stale. Never had such a thing but I had high hopes for it. Rice and beans are the real deal.

New Tex-Mex restaurant. Filing entrée portions. Go for the cocktails & sit at the bar. Definitely has potential.

Large dining areas, so tables aren't on top of each other. My Dirty West cocktail was tasty (like an Old Fashioned), and my tampiqueña was perfectly seasoned and cooked, while smaller than I expected.

Snag one of the tequila-based cocktails that are a hallmark of most Tex-Mex spots while you wait for a seat, then order the chili con queso. Read more

After two hours, my $11 "hand-crafted" nachos finally came. Probably should have stayed home with a bag of Tostitos and shredded cheese.

The truest Tex Mex food experience in NYC. I thought being on a paleo diet was a terrible idea here, but I ordered the beef fajita (without the bread) and it was DELICIOUS

Food: very good. Drinks: very good. Service: average. Atmosphere: strange. There was a mix of sports bar, bachelorette party and karaoke... In a restaurant. Had a groupon and it's just down the street

Finally, a place with a real michelada to wash down amazing queso

The space would work better as a big sports bar with tvs everywhere. Business lunches and happy hour feel more right here than sitting down to dinner.

The spinach and mushroom enchilada is spicy but still good
James PhippsMay 22, 2015
This is legit Tex Mex.

Go here for dinner if you want to hear skee ball and not any conversation thanks to the owners kids. #greatparenting

It was really good! I wish a little less salt..Like the service tonight!!

Such wasted potential. Adequate tex mex, but with an absurd markup. $19 for average chicken enchiladas is unacceptable, especially with so many other options in the city. Simply not worth the price.
Madison BohunickyApril 15, 2016
Fine but overpriced. 2 entrees and 2 margaritas came to $80
Priya IyerFebruary 5, 2016
Excellent queso & margaritas ❗️

Good breakfast but a little too expensive.

Good guacamole. Everything else just ok.
Noemi JimenezJune 11, 2015
So overpriced and yuck - best part were the drinks. Whyyyy can't I find good Mexican in NYC 😖
Patrick BaskinJuly 21, 2015
So bad, they have queso but it taste like velveeta & service was slow, massive place though so good for groups
Jake WallaceNovember 26, 2016
Everything's good
Andrew DerMay 25, 2015
Run away! Food is mediocre and over-priced. Service is terrible. Would never return.
Abhinav SuraiyaJanuary 28, 2016
Decent enchiladas, but a bit overpriced
Tammy CraigMay 7, 2018
Great spot!!
Arnaud RéautéOctober 25, 2015
Could have more options but at least good happy hour
Indra AndhikaAugust 11, 2016
Not so original
Edwin MorrisMay 21, 2015
They charge for water
KathleenApril 3, 2015
The flautas were ok.
Eric WallingMay 30, 2015
Food is just okay, good chips and salsa.
Justin BretonMay 6, 2015
Honestly... Not that great. I was extremely disappointed. A lot of hype for nothing. If you're looking for authentic Tex-Mex, try Javelina Tex-Mex in Gramercy.

Chili con queso queso queso.
Mathias LindnerMarch 9, 2018
Sehr gutes Essen und gute Bedienung
Pedro Matias CostaSeptember 7, 2015
Denle con todo al picante que acá es muy liviano.
Olcay ArdaJune 30, 2017
Kahvaltı sıradandı, ama servis görevlileri çok ilgili. Lezzete göre fiyatları biraz pahalı.
