    Went for brunch today and it was pretty dead at 11:45 am. Prix fixe menu for $16 is the way to go! I got the pancakes, a mimosa and coffee and was set. The pancakes were delicious!

    Been coming to this Nuevo (New) Mexican Chelsea fave for 15+ yrs. Decor was updated 2 yrs ago. Love their creative cocktails & consistently great dishes: Carnitas, Homemade tortilla chips w/ chipotle

    Get guac side instead of guac app w/ chicharrones (fried pork crackling), pickled red onions, & papaya & mango relish. Less guac but pairing small amt of fillings w/ huge corn tortillas is not a must

    That steak burrito is something else and when it's accompanied with a cocktail at only $16, you got yourself a winner. Cute decor, patient wait staff, and just overall an amazing time. Eat up!

    Amazing brunches and happy hours. $7 margs are quite large. The huevos rancheros and chicken tenga tacos are the bomb! (If they ever have avocado fries, also order them. They are seasonal item)

    Holy wow. Normally I'm quite weary of "modern" Mexican places, but this place is so damn tasty. You can tell they use traditional ways of preparing their food, just wish modern flavors and a twist.

    Really fun place! Pricy menu, cute staff, wonderful drinks. My first time here I had an amazing duck quesadilla with goat cheese and an arugula salad on top -- I still think about it!

    Sit at the bar and nosh on the giant chips and creamy dip! Ask for the house made hot sauce if you like spice.

    The Huevos Rancheros are surprisingly delicious. Wonderful use of tomatillas, frijoles, and creme fraiche to make a dish that wants me to lick the plate at the end!

    Brunch prix fixe is yummy and a good deal. Get there early, and note that they will not seat you until your entire party is present, no way, no how, never ever.

    The food was okay. I got the meatloaf. It tasted very dry and mealy. However, service was excellent and the guac & ginormous chips were delicious.

    Love that they give fried pork bits, tomatillo and pickled onions on the side when u order guac--also comes with tortillas. Lamb shank huge but good. Daily specials. Margaritas are strong and sweet.

    The Croque Señor is quite possibly the best sandwich in NYC. And I mean that.

    Tasty margaritas. Extremely filling Mexican. Try the enchilada dishes. Stick to small plates unless you're truly starving
