- AAyasiaNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe ambience was great with the dim lighting and tea light candle on the table. The guacamole and mild salsa with chips were delicious. I loved my mojito coconut drink. My partner got the valentines special drink with tequila, lime, jalapeños and tajin rim. Carnitas tacos were delicious. My partner got the quesadilla and he was said they were amazing. The waiter was great and attentive.

- OTOpenTable DinerNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe wait staff was attentive and remembered to bring out a round of drinks when all guests arrived after appetizers. The service was quick to allow getting to a 8 o’clock curtain quickly and is less than a block away from circle in the round.
