Love this place - they give you free chips and salsa! A rare find in NYC Mexican restaurants. Queso is delicious, drinks are good, entrees are good, prices are fair, vibe is cool and relaxed. Very fun and laid back vibe in here, highly recommend for an easy and fun dinner.

The manager Michael and the servers are all amazing here. The food is top-notch, and the frozen margaritas are amazing. A must try if you’re in the UES.

Sat at a high top in bar. This is a regular place for me. Service was a bit lacking, manager had to cover for missing server, bill was wrong - they corrected. It can be a bit loud.
