Hillary HeathMay 9, 2015Slushy margaritas are very good, as is the queso. Brisket tacos did not live up to the hype.
Delicious salsa, the chili left me wanting more. The margaritas are WAY too small.
Steak enchiladas were very good. Better than the chicken!
Benjamin PalmerMay 27, 2015shrimp fajitas, "sunset style" which means they crack an egg on it and add queso
Stacy KimballMarch 9, 2015Won't be back soon. Place was not memorable. Chile relleno was topped with raisins, which made the plate look cheap. Bonus: drunk owner stumbled around making awkward small talk with patrons.
- Dan KJanuary 28, 2018If you like flavor, consider other options. The queso is good, but everything else should not be labeled Tex-Mex.
Sarah T.April 4, 2015Underwhelming flavors for the steak fajita, which came with bland sides, very cramped seating and bad acoustics -- everyone in the entire restaurant sounded like they were yelling to be heard.
Thor ErnstssonApril 7, 2015Skip it; too trendy and cheesy. (That last bit was queso pun...since they push it pretty hard as an app to drown out the mediocrity of the rest of the food.)
Michelle AlexanderApril 14, 2015Mag Mud Queso was good but it's really noisy space, not so great if you want to actually hear your date.
William NelliganApril 22, 2015Disappointing. The tacos were promising but lacking (who ever knew there was such a thing as taco sweat), the chips were dry, and the service was bizarre (or drunk).
AmateurConciergeMarch 8, 2015I love tex mex but SOME effort has to be made to cater to NYC palattes. Besides the Bob Armstrong queso everything was a flat. Owner was DRUNK and handsy with patrons and the waitress was absentee
Rebecca MazzaJune 1, 2015So disappointed. The avocado margarita was good but everything else was below average.
ᴡ ElliotAugust 20, 2015Guac was not good, one of the worst I've had in the city. Only gave flour tortillas 👎🏼
Jelani BektembaMarch 25, 2015underwhelming food, overpriced. totally forgettable and average at best.
Andrea FApril 6, 2015Super noisy, food is honestly nothing to write home about (but this could be tex mex in general), overrated!

"Blood orange margaritas are a must. Pair them with the queso fundido and chips and quac for appetizers. Crispy fish soft tacos and the soft carnitas were very tasty. The menu is great for sharing."
