Best frozen margarita in the city! Classic is great, i personally love passionfruit flavor.

Out of their 2 locations i love coming here specifically for a happy hour drink or two and delicious guacamole.

Before Cinco de Mayo (which is super fun on the day of) they have 12 days of Cinco when they have giveaways, tastings and just a fun vibe!

All videos are mine, i was in charge of social media videos and got to witness all the fun!

an excellent place to get Mexican food, and of course, some margaritas! The staff is so friendly, and the food was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this place to host corporate events, or birthday parties.

Went back here for the second time recently and was disappointed to see the menu was drastically reduced, taking away most of the vegetarian/vegan options. For vegans, now the only main dish option is a veggie burrito with no sour cream or cheese. It was okay, but a bit under seasoned and underwhelming for the price. I previously had the fable mushroom protein tacos here and loved them so I was upset to see them gone. My friend with no dietary restrictions still really enjoyed her food and I enjoyed my margarita so I would recommend for those who eat meat or those just looking for apps and drinks. If you don’t eat meat I would advise searching for a meal elsewhere

While looking for good pizza in the neighborhood with friends, we stumbled upon this Mexican restaurant—and it turned out to be the best decision ever! By far, this was some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had.

The guacamole was so fresh and flavorful that we ordered a second round without hesitation. As for the fajitas (a mix of De Carne and De Pollo), they were absolute heaven—I didn’t want to share a single bite!

The service was also amazing—big thanks to the waiters for their great work and attentive care.

This restaurant is now at the top of my list, and I’ll make it a priority to visit every time I’m in NYC.

Would I go back for the fajitas? Absolutely, 💯%!
