    The Mojitos are definitely the drink to get here, especially the tamarindo mojito.

    It's a great, popular spot for a happy hour with co-workers, a birthday celebration, or pre-gaming. Food and service are excellent. Wide variety of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. They have an extensive tequila menu. The noise level is moderate, but I was still able to hear most of my group. Of course, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays will be the busiest. If you prefer a quieter, less noisy period I went on a Tuesday night and while it's still busy, it was easier to get a table and it had a lower noise level. Reservations are recommended for busier days or with parties of four or more OR if you don't want to wait long for a table (which is common in any popular NYC restaurant.)

    Delicious Food as always. But server seemed like she was doing us a favour. Then again. It was a hectic Saturday night. Loved watching the b-day celebrations! I want to go back for my b-day one time. Taco Chips are still the tastiest around.

    The place was way too loud was very crowded. I got hit numerous times while sitting eating from the servers from behind you couldn’t even hear the person across from you talk the food was very spicy not many options for people who cannot eat spicy food and they were rushing to get you out. A lot of the options they have on the online menu are not available in the restaurant was very disappointed
