Queso is awesome. Got the puff tacos and they were great!

Fajitas are delicious and huge portions. For cocktails - loved the Paloma
Eric WallingMay 30, 2015
Awesome chile relleno and fajitas! Must try the avocado margarita!

Delicious salsa, the chili left me wanting more. The margaritas are WAY too small.
Caitlyn FowlesMay 14, 2015

Try the chicken taquitos or the enchiladas de Tejas!!
Michael JacobsonNovember 12, 2015
Better than its rating. Fajitas were great!
Stacy KimballMarch 9, 2015
Won'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.
D KDecember 30, 2019
The queso dips and vegetable fajitas and jalapeño rice

Steak enchiladas were very good. Better than the chicken!
Kimberly KellyOctober 18, 2015
Get the QUESO with any meat. Great things will happen
Calvin MultanenAugust 19, 2016
Solid food. Queso and margaritas were great
Dan KJanuary 28, 2018
If you like flavor, consider other options. The queso is good, but everything else should not be labeled Tex-Mex.
Sarah T.April 4, 2015
Underwhelming 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.
Tim SheaJuly 13, 2016
The Bob Armstrong is DELICIOUS!

Finally. Real queso. In nyc.
Amanda GluckApril 5, 2015
QUESO, fajitas and margaritas. Come hungry.
Justin SchneiderApril 4, 2015
the queso is a must
SebMarch 27, 2015
Food was great. I would definitely come back.
HelenMay 8, 2015
Sit at the bar and get some jalapeño margs and queso.
RyanMay 8, 2015
Look no further than the Bob Armstrong Queso 💫
Faryan AMay 9, 2015
Service/organization needs to step up. Great queso though
Amol KMay 4, 2016
Mag mud queso will fill your entire table up.
Thor ErnstssonApril 7, 2015
Skip 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.)
Saif DiaAugust 5, 2017
Happy hour is great, but only at the bar
Daniel ShawMay 12, 2016

Habanero white peach frozen margarita. Enough said.
Michelle AlexanderApril 14, 2015
Mag Mud Queso was good but it's really noisy space, not so great if you want to actually hear your date.
Michelle GabeMay 24, 2015
Cocktails taste like poison 😵 fried avo tacos on point though

If you sit at the bar... ASK FOR SAM!!! I ❤️ Sam!!!
William NelliganApril 22, 2015
Disappointing. 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).
Monti BrayApril 28, 2015

White queso and prickly pear margs. Enough said.
Christa Trude-HossMarch 13, 2015
Have to have the Mag Mud Queso...yumm!
A ZakheimApril 18, 2015
Fajitas were tasty
AmateurConciergeMarch 8, 2015
I 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
EddyJuly 31, 2015
Fairly decent tex-mex. Poor acoustics (gets LOUD). But not a bad place to hit up.
Maya Jimenez 😬April 1, 2015
Avocado tacos!
Benjamin KintnerMarch 20, 2016
A poor rendition of Austin style Tex-mex.
Brea SimpsonAugust 28, 2018
Queso in ny.
Bucanero FritoApril 16, 2015

KAY-so!!! Get it.
Rebecca MazzaJune 1, 2015
So disappointed. The avocado margarita was good but everything else was below average.
Andrew MillerFebruary 13, 2017
Very little
ᴡ ElliotAugust 20, 2015
Guac was not good, one of the worst I've had in the city. Only gave flour tortillas 👎🏼
Jelani BektembaMarch 25, 2015
underwhelming food, overpriced. totally forgettable and average at best.
Chris MarottaMarch 4, 2016
This place gets a big MEH - below average and overpriced
Neil SolomonMay 4, 2015
terrible service. bland food. overhyped. will close soon.
Andrea FApril 6, 2015
Super noisy, food is honestly nothing to write home about (but this could be tex mex in general), overrated!
Kathryn DOctober 6, 2017
A margarita should never cost $14.
Richard BApril 13, 2015
Queso, queso, queso
