    A GREAT find! A very small restaurant, its best to make reservations. The food was incredible itialin, the drinks were delicious and the service was fantastic. Felt like family!

  • Review 2 (2024-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    Very cozy and fancy ambience. Super nice service and simply delicious food! Maybe the taco portions should be a little bigger (3 instead of 2), but maybe I was just hungry. The guacamole was fantastic!

  • Review 3 (2024-08-22 - Rating: 5)

    I had the fiesta salad. The food came out fast and was flavorful with a beautiful presentation. Bathrooms were clean. Overall, I had a good experience.

  • Review 4 (2023-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    First of the energy at this place is great, so fun and comfortable at the same time. The service is amazing and definitely top tier of places I’ve been. Moving on to the food I’m not picky but I do value a great tasting taco I highly recommend the birria, Baja shrimp and pork. (Obviously with a side of chips and guacamole!) Now for the drinks! Big portions and reasonable prices, can’t beat it. Mango margarita is my favorite, they specialize in different flavors and they all taste amazing. Overall it’s always a good time when I visit and I highly recommend.

    We had a really delicious dinner here. The food was super tasty, and the staff is very friendly, giving great recommendations

  • Review 6 (2024-12-25 - Rating: 4)

    I was visiting new york to see a show. I used to go with friends and they suggested we go since its basically in the theater district. Had a great time and made it for Happy Hour.

  • Review 7 (2024-09-06 - Rating: 5)

    Why is this place only a 4.2??? They have a matrix of margaritas in four sizes 💅Mama burrito is the pinnacle of Hell’s Kitchen burritos, to go or to stay. Don’t skip this masterpiece.The staff are all super friendly and veterans of the nyc dining scene. Be sure to tell them if you are headed to a Broadway show so they can expedite your experience.

    We found this spot walking around and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. The service, food and atmosphere were great! We had two kids with us and they accommodated them very well. They have no kids menu but they made a quesadilla for my nephew to his liking. Great spot. Just wish the restrooms were a little bit cleaner.

  • Review 9 (2023-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Of you feel kind of hungry and want something sustainable I would recommend the California burrito. It was so filled and delicious. The best would be chicken or steak.Guac sauce and chip was on point. Service was great. Staff was so attentive and the management always checking around. Drinks are okay. Just need a little bit of improvements.Im a fan of the Long Island Iced Tea and it was okay, tasteful but okay. I would recommend this place a 💯 percent.You will not regret it

  • Review 10 (2021-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Food was amazing. Save room for the churros, obviously. Taco salad was lovely. I had the chimichanga and it was nice quality meat and lots of cheese. The black beans were runny for my preference and rice a little dryer than I like but everything tasted great. Our server was super nice and food was fast AF!

  • Review 11 (2024-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    Brandon made some great recommendations and we love the food suggestions. Love this place, will come back. Thank you Brandon.

  • Review 12 (2023-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    Even tho we sat outside we were not neglected. The place looks really cool and the atmosphere was great!We had a few drinks and some tacos and starters. The Birria tacos were pretty good (and not really spicy). The fish tacos were mild and tasted fresh.

  • Review 13 (2020-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    SUCH A BARGAIN! Whether youre just looking to grab some drinks or looking for a full meal, the menu will satisfy everyones desires (and their wallet). Tacos are authentic and flavorful and the drink menu is diverse. Nice club like setting, though Ill admit the table spacing is a bit tight if youre looking for more space. Still, excellent quality food and friendly, expedited service.

  • Review 14 (2024-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great Mexican cuisine in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, very welcoming staff paired with a fun clean environment

  • Review 15 (2021-01-15 - Rating: 5)

    I went twice in a week, it’s that good. During the summer, we’d come here for margaritas (all yummy). The churros are great. Kind of meh on the fried ice cream. All the tacos are great. Creme brûlée is thin and the top is really solid —- some of the best I’ve had. Not pictured, but have also got the chimichangas - solid choice too.

  • Review 16 (2024-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    A delightful vantage point from which to observe the neighborhood with quality food and some exciting menu items (salmon relleno was fantastic)

  • Review 17 (2024-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    A nice taco place. Enjoy the sashimi tacos.

  • Review 18 (2020-08-19 - Rating: 5)

    Even during a pandemic they have such a great outdoor setup. Great frozen drinks and the service is on point! I come here a little too much lol TRY THEM!

  • Review 19 (2024-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Always a great choice! Friendly and thoughtful service, great margaritas (arguably the best in NYC!!) and the food is great too!!!

  • Review 20 (2024-01-29 - Rating: 4)

    Food is phenomenal. Drinks tasted great but I wish the margaritas were a little bit stronger. Wait for a table with a reservation was ~15 minutes for a group of 6. Once seated, the service was fast and all of the employees were very kind. Lively atmosphere with great music playing!

  • Review 21 (2024-07-14 - Rating: 4)

    Stopped by for a late dinner with friends. I got a mole chicken enchilada. It was good but generally all the dishes were very mild in flavor and seasoning. A little bit more salt could’ve made it a lot better. Service was fast and great so that’s a great plus.

  • Review 22 (2024-10-26 - Rating: 4)

    Arriba Arriba is a fantastic spot for great food & and a family-friendly experience! We recently dined here and couldn’t have been happier, especially with the outdoor seating. It was the perfect setup for our toddler—spacious and safely away from any street traffic, allowing us all to relax and enjoy the meal. The staff was warm and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and portions were generous, with authentic Mexican flavors that hit the spot. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal with a welcoming atmosphere for families!

  • Review 23 (2024-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    Asked a local bartender for a dinner recommendation and Arriba Arriba did not disappoint! If you want a giant margarita with Tex mex this is the place.

  • Review 24 (2024-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a hidden gem. Their good is SO consistent and if you like guacamole or salsa, look no further. Everything on the menu is exceptional

  • Review 25 (2024-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    Margs and food are great! Always a fun atmosphere

  • Review 26 (2021-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    The sashimi tacos were very tasty (I would have preferred a soft tortilla instead of the hard crust)the shrimp fajita was good.

  • Review 27 (2019-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    Started this holiday season with the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall and when it came to where we were going to have our dinner there was no guessing, Ariba Ariba. They have decorated it in holiday style red yellow and blue lighting to make it cozy. The staff was wonderful as always. Ive been going there for over 25 years,it never disappoints. The food is always on point temperature wise and taste wise, what can I say about their drinks , especially the margaritas. I must have been away from them for a while because they have now included La Tia, in their margarita family sizes, so if you want to get really into the holiday spirit , youll have to include good old La Tia( the aunt) in your holiday plans. Good luck working your way up the family tree. Happy holidays folks and make sure you go to Ariba Ariba at 51st and 9th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.

  • Review 28 (2019-10-01 - Rating: 4)

    Good food but we had to wait for a while before we got served. Seating is a bit cramped.

  • Review 29 (2024-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    WOW!!!! This small place made a BIG impact on me, in a very positive way! The place is small and its tight in some places! But this is NYC, midtown on the West side, lack of space is expected!!🤣 The servers were extremely friendly and accomodating!!! The food portion was a little smaller than expected! It also doesnt help that Im a big eater!🤣 Nevertheless the food was absolutely delicious and prepared according to my picky eater ways!!🤣 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT DELICIOUS PIÑA COLADA!!!!! I absolutely LOVED this place and look forward to coming here again and again!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

  • Review 30 (2023-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    AMAZING restaurant!!They have not just one dish that is perfected, but many. I have had the fajitas, the taco salad, elote, stuffed plantains, fried ice cream, nachos and they are all top notch.We only had 4 nights in New york and we took two of them so we could come back again.

  • Review 31 (2022-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    Good food for a good time, the vibe was on point. Good service, they always checking in you but not too much.

    Best Hispanic food in NY in my opinion. Great service. All the above. I cant wait to go back!!

    I come here for their lovely cocktails and really nice service

  • Review 34 (2023-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    What an amazing place! The service at the entrance did not neglect us, we waited very little to have a table, when we ordered the food, the food did not take long and it was great! The waiters were always asking us if we needed anything. The atmosphere is beautiful and the restaurant experience is complete!Tip: order the passion fruit margarita.

  • Review 35 (2023-10-26 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been to Arriba Arriba and it never disappoints. The food is always good and the portions are great. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. You can usually get a table pretty quick, however on weekend nights there’s usually a waiting time, but worth it. Highly recommend.

  • Review 36 (2022-08-19 - Rating: 5)

    Just got a burrito and a watermelon margarita. The ambience was great and definitely a great place to hang out with friends after a Broadway show.

  • Review 37 (2021-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    We walked pass this place many times and its always packed so we decided to try it out. The outdoor seatings were beautiful and airy. We got one 3 kinds of tacos and a plate of chicken rice thing (forgot the name). I normally dont like tacos that much but this place is really good. Their frozen margaritas with fruit puree was tasty as well. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for a weekend brunch or if u just want some good Mexican food.

  • Review 38 (2022-08-14 - Rating: 5)

    The food here tasted fresh, service was great, and vibes were fantastic. Personally, I did wish the food was slightly more seasoned towards the spicy side but the hot sauce absolutely made up for that. And on top of that, they were very accommodating and were able to take in our party of 12 on a one days notice! Highly recommend for group gatherings.

  • Review 39 (2023-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about the service here. All of the staff was amazing, from the host, to bus service to wait staff. Wish we could give more than 5 stars. We had such a great experience we will definitely be back.

  • Review 40 (2022-06-25 - Rating: 4)

    This place holds a special place in my heart. The very 1st time I went to dinner with friends in NYC, 32 years ago, we went here. I was lucky enough to live in Hells Kitchen for 20+ yrs and always frequented Arriba Arriba. Just recently went back and the food and drinks and staff are still super fabulous. Best selection of frozen margaritas, including jalapeno!! So glad amongst all the ever changing scenery of NY, there is one mainstay thats like going back home.

    Amazing Mexican restaurant! Located in a great part of town! Restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating however requires proof of vaccination for those who want to eat indoors. Food was delicious and the restaurant had a great atmosphere! 5 stars!

    Been meaning to come here for years and finally stopped for Sunday afternoon margaritas and snacks. Sat outside in the sun and enjoyed terrific friendly and effecient service and delicious nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas very good. Recommend.

    Great gluten free options. The atmosphere is always incredibly fun. The la mama skinny margarita is 👍. The elote, chips + guacamole- all musts.

    I had an amazing dining experience at Arriba Arriba! The food was outstanding. I sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather under the warmth of a heater, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I ordered the soup and enchilada suizas, and both were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu on my next trip to New York.

  • Review 49 (2017-09-08 - Rating: 4)

    Best Margaritas in Hells Kitchen! The food here is pretty good too, but presented simply.

  • Review 50 (2022-08-02 - Rating: 5)

    Would recommend this place completely. Service was great, people were really welcoming and so nice even though we left our backpack there! Atmosphere was great and felt like I’d walked into a scene of coco! Food portions were value for money and it tasted really good!

    Best Mexican restaurant in the city!Amazing guacamole and frozen margaritas

  • Review 52 (2018-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    I always really love this place, but this time I was IN love. I had the nachos and still think about them. I really thought they were so well done. We just went for a small snack and a BIG drink and they usually deliver in that department. Service was good. We were there on a Sunday evening after a matinee show. The bar was packed, but they sat us on the condition that if they get busy we would get up. We were able to stick around ;)

  • Review 53 (2022-08-14 - Rating: 4)

    Good! but nothing specials even a brunch menu from 18$ not looks what I want .Everting with rice beans and all like this style

  • Review 54 (2018-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    I went on Tuesday this week, what initially caught my eye about this restaurant from the others was it’s bright color. As soon as we entered we were greeted nicely and in a few seconds given water and complementary chips and dip. Which was so delicious ,we really enjoyed it. I ordered the small plate shrimp tacos, they were packed with so much flavor I was so shocked it was that good .The atmosphere is really nice , they have a disco ball inside the restaurant which I enjoyed . Me and my 2 friends will definetly be back .All of our dishes had so much flavor and was done to perfection. My only issue was there was a confusion over the tip with my friend and she gave the waiter the wrong tip . I was going to apologize about it until I was given the bill back and I saw that the waiter decided to circle the amounts of the tip. That was beyond unprofessional and very rude he also instead of taking the tip he put it back in the book to give back to us . That behavior was very obnoxious and I was going to speak to the owner but, I just let it go .

  • Review 56 (2015-09-13 - Rating: 4)

    Love the atmosphere with low dark lighting. Makes you feel like your in late night bar even in the middle of the day. Chips were fresh and the salsa was outstanding. Fish tacos were really good as well, you can taste the char flavor. Margaritas were on point! Only gripe is we had to ask for a waiter and had to seat ourselves. Other than that, great & would Definitely recommend.

    I love love this place! Their frozen margaritas are the best too!! 🍹 if you wanna go for happy hour or dinner I recommend this place great taste in music also, helps you mingle. It does sometimes gets a little packed on Fridays so it can get a little hot inside and loud from all the music and people, but over all I always have a blast going here 10/10

  • Review 62 (2024-01-03 - Rating: 4)

    Traditional Mexican Food in the harts of the gayness neighborhood in New york City Hells Kitchen what you thought it was*! [ Chelsea is old news]. The mole is the one dish that you would remember for that night.

  • Review 63 (2021-04-09 - Rating: 4)

    I honestly liked this place. The service was great, everyone treated us nicely and I felt like everything was served promptly and correctly. If you need drinks though make sure you have an ID no matter the age as they do check and I respect that.The only thing I wasnt super thrilled wirh was the food and drinks. The drinks were strong (might be good for you) but I felt like there wasnt much flavor to them and it was simple fruit margaritas. As for the food I felt like the chimichanga was delicious but my steak and rice felt like something Id do at home and Im not a great cook. As for the dessert, everything was amazing and homemade which is rare to find. I wish I had taken pictures but it looked too good to not dig in.

  • Review 68 (2019-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely my favorite Mexican bar and restaurant in Manhattan. I was given a suggestion by my friend to visit this place and try their margaritas and trust me Ive been coming back so many times! They specialize in their margaritas in two main sizes which they call Mama and Papa. One is $11 and the other is $20 but trust one $20 drink will make you feel super happy buzzed. Mango Margarita and Guava Margarita are my favorite but you can mix flavors as well! As far as food goes, you cant complain really. With an entree you also get complimentary chips and salsa.

    The nachos with beans and cheese was ecstatic. It felt like whole another paradise of food. The guacamole topped with cabbage was highlight of the evening. The customer service is good, in addition to the ambiance. All in all it was a great experience.

  • Review 73 (2016-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great Mexican food, enchiladas are very tasty. The feature is the Big Mama margaritas that are the size of a fishbowl. Lots of different marg flavors. Very raucous atmosphere thats more given to binge drinking than a date night. But definitely a very fun place to grab a drink.

  • Review 74 (2018-06-16 - Rating: 4)

    Has a very casual ambience - almost like an Irish bar type of a feel but with Mexican food/margaritas. The food is decent, not great. Bebe, papa, mama margaritas! And so many flavors to choose from. Love it!

  • Review 75 (2020-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    Went there for lunch on a Saturday, looks like no indoor dining at least during lunch time. Instead of a little box curbside, they covered up a section outside their restaurant on 51 Street which makes it seem grander and more an extension of the restaurant. The seafood enchiladas and chimichangas are tasty, the buffalo wings average. What is more impressive is there seems to be only 1 server taking orders and maybe 1 other whose job is just delivering food and cleaning up, but they are both very patient. Christian, the server who took orders, was patient even though I was speaking while masked and thus sounds more muffled than usual. Its generally a good experience and I recommend it for casual lovers of Mexican food.

  • Review 78 (2020-04-13 - Rating: 4)

    I have eaten at Arriba Arriba locations before and have loved it because they’re food is so delicious as are the drinks. This location was no exception. The only thing that ruined our experience was that it felt like our waiter was rushing us to get out which was very unfortunate, especially since we wanted to get more drinks but decided not to due to that. I don’t remember his name but he had long hair and a thick accent.

  • Review 79 (2022-05-03 - Rating: 5)

    Margaritas the size of your head lots of flavor options as well as great American Mexican food. Good size portions as well. Atmosphere is fun can get a little cramped.

  • Review 80 (2022-07-23 - Rating: 4)

    Solid choice for food and drinks as long as you’re not expecting the most authentic Mexican. Portions are large, drinks are punchy, the place is wacky and fun. Indulge in the slow-cooked pork stuffed plantain and enchiladas suizas.

    Amazing atmosphere, amazing service. The restaurant was set with a day of the dead theme. The detail and effort was excellent including pointing lights to the idol murals eyes for a cool effect. The food was fresh, authentic, quick and reasonably priced - 10/10

    The nicest staff!! Very supportive of the LGBTQ community, even though theyre a Mexican restaurant they have a octopus dish which is Peruvian. Beautiful artwork, tasty food , very lovely and ask for Dana if shes there. The photos show the steak and fish tacos, churros, tres leches cake, and taco salad

    OMG, try this place if youre in the HK area!! The grilled octopus appetizer was heaven, as were the sashimi tacos. Salsa was fresh with a nice heat, and everything was just really great. The frozen margaritas were also excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.Bonus: Our waiter, Chris, was awesome!

  • Review 86 (2017-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    Probably the best place in Manhattan for Margaritas! Go in and ask Mauricio for the Frozen Watermelon flavour, itll blow you away... Great guacamole and amazing salsa. All the food is good but the enchiladas with the Mole are really good. They have a DJ to keep the place lively as well, literally cant say enough great things about the place :). I come here with my girlfriend all the time and its great, its a hot spot for the LGBT community which I love as all the guys are always telling my girlfriend how hot I am so I get an ego boost at the same time lol. Just a great atmosphere for fun, I would highly recommend!!!

    Arriba Arriba is one of my favorite spots for Tex-Mex food. Its not fancy, its not necessarily pretty, but its always delicious. The food isnt anywhere near authentic Mexican but if youre in the mood for a giant burrito next to a heaping portion of refried beans and rice I dont know many places in the city which will give you the same experience. The drinks are also pretty tasty and HUGE. Staff is friendly as well and every time Ive gone Ive had a good experience.

    Best margaritas in Manhattan! Seriously! They are big tasty and not cheap on alcool. The food is delicious. The music is good and the service is cute and excellent. Best place to eat mexican food and have fun in Manhattan. Favorite restaurant so far.

    Writing this in real time. I am a person who has no problem dining by themselves. I think however sometimes when you dine by yourself the waiter tends to isolate you. So this is suppose to be a review about food. So far I have had the braised beef tacos. They were unbelievably delicious. I wld like to order another dish but have been waiting over 15 minutes for someone to come to my table. I actually thought I wld get a visit abt how is everything but no luck. So I will continue to sit here and wait. Poor service is something that bothers me when I dine. Im wondering if due to Covid they are understaffed. But its strange how so many other staff members just look at me and walk on by. As I said service is important to me and I am a generous tipper based on the service! Hey he finally came over to me. I do recommend this place because truly the food is delicious. I hope the service improves.

    Sitting outside is great! They have the best taco salad and salsa. Inside the restaurant could use a facelift and a deep cleaning. Oh you definitely should get a frozen margarita...yum😊

  • Review 97 (2018-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely love this place. Food is always rock solid and the margaritas are massive, boozy and so tasty. Absolutely worth the cost, the staff is so nice and they play some stellar music.

  • Review 98 (2018-04-21 - Rating: 5)

    Im glad I found this restaurant close enough to times square action but also a little out of the crowded area.Cute and cozy with an affordable menu considering the area. The fajita plate comes with everything in abundance ! With a decent apetizer, it feels like this plate could be shared.

  • Review 99 (2019-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    Coming from Colorado, we have a lot of Mexican influence in the Mile High City. I have to give Arriba Arriba a five star rating because of the customer service, the drinks and the food!First, I was looking at the different options that the menu had. I was not sure and Ron, our server that evening, recommended me the chefs special. Ron was polite and was able to take the time to explain the options on the menu.I tried the chefs special for the night which was the Pulpo al Pastor and it was so delicious. The octopus was tender and the flavors combined with the cilantro rice and guajillo sauce were amazing. The margaritas were on point! I tried the jalapeno and cucumber and dill on the rocks and the drink was incredible.The restaurant has a great environment and it was a great experience to eat at Arriba Arriba. I will highly recommend this place to people that want to experience modern Mexican cuisine with a traditional touch and have a great time with family and friends.

    Great vibe and great food! This Hells Kitchen Mexican restaurant is good if you are looking for a lively Mexican dinner. They have an extensive margarita menu available in all different sizes, frozen, or on the rocks.

    First, you cannot go wrong with 50cent and 1$ dollar margaritas potent I might add.Food is fresh, well seasoned. Tables are crammed in space a bit.Customer service is on point and professional.Fav place for Friday nights after work!.

    They take real authentic Mexican flavors and.make em pretty. A bustling hot spot with excellent drinks endless chips and dang good burritos. I had the chicken suiza enchilada. Soooo good. The long wait was a bummer.

    We loved the bollitas de Yuca! Yummy appetizerfestive and fun indoor & outdoor seating at this Hells kitchen neighborhood staple.Regular & flavored margaritas that come in different sizes named La Mama, El Papa, La Tia, El Bebe 😄Very nice staff thats easy on the eyes.

  • Review 107 (2019-06-17 - Rating: 4)

    Nice spot to grab some Mexican food. They have a nice variety of flavors for their margaritas. They have happy hours. The place gets packed at night on the weekends and the bar is small.

  • Review 108 (2013-06-08 - Rating: 4)

    Dishes are big so you can share (which makes it cheaper). The atmosphere is very cool, with pop music and disco lights, and the people are chill.Interesting alternative to dine in Hells Kitchen.

    Fast service and good staff

  • Review 113 (2020-11-29 - Rating: 4)

    The food was good, and the drinks were nice too. Its getting cold, so during a pandemic, that makes eating outside less ideal. Also, the price tag is a little high.

  • Review 114 (2022-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    This was great and conveniently located to my hotel. Our server was fantastic, not sure if it was good service or if he wanted to get me drunk, but he never missed a beat and the drinks and food were amazing! Plus, I loved how his fellow servers also attended to us. Super cool. Loved the music in there too haha

  • Review 115 (2023-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    The food was very good and the staff were friendly, efficient and tentative. An excellent choice if you ever get a hankering for Mexican while wondering around HK.

  • Review 116 (2021-07-31 - Rating: 5)

    Some places really do basic things well.. this is one such place.. the staff are friendly, the place has a chill vibe to it, the food is hearty ( get chips and guacamole), it doesn’t cost you a ton of money.. at the end you will walk out with high spirits (if you had their signature margaritas).. I have a friend who is married to this place goes there everytime he feels like eating out.. while I am not as committed as he is, I understand the reason for his attachment

  • Review 117 (2024-03-03 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best spots in HK! Cant go wrong with any of their margaritas.

  • Review 118 (2019-01-19 - Rating: 5)

    Best Tacos ever. Ive been eating at Ariba Ariba since high school. Its one of my favorite places to go when I want to have good food. The drinks are pretty good too. I didnt get buzzed or anything but thats likely because of my tolerance. They were DELICIOUS though.The only downside is that the music can be a bit loud.

  • Review 119 (2024-08-05 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 122 (2019-12-29 - Rating: 4)

    Ive been going here for 15 years, and its always fun with good food. It has gotten to the point that 2 too many tables are crammed in there, however. You cannot sit down without bumping into someone or something.

  • Review 123 (2020-02-21 - Rating: 5)

    Lovvvved this place, music choice, late 90s house / dance, drinks, 4 sizes the tia is a 16 oz glass of yummy. I can only speak for the tacos .. but the carnitas were soooo good. Its a bit tight but worth the seat.

  • Review 124 (2021-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    Great food, great frozen margaritas (go for the mango or peach), super friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. A little on the pricey side but pretty reasonable for the area!

  • Review 125 (2016-04-23 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent lunch deals for around $10 with a mini margarita. Meal comes with decent chips and salsa like it should. I still miss Californias Mexican food but this place helps.

  • Review 126 (2020-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite Mexican spot. California burritos are great. Make sure you’re ready before ordering the mama margaritas. Tasty but dangerous, in a good way.

  • Review 127 (2013-06-04 - Rating: 4)

    Free chips and salsa which is very rare in NYC. Food was ok, but being from houston I have very high standards for my Mexican food. Margaritas didnt seem as strong as people talked them up to be. Wasnt great, wasnt bad, just kinda meh..

  • Review 128 (2021-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    Everything I have tried here is amazing but their taco de pulpo deserves a special shoutout ❤️. Great, friendly, quick service! Will definitely stop by a frozen watermelon margarita (or two) later today!

  • Review 129 (2020-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    I drove from Queens to Manhattan specifically because they offered frozen margaritas to go. The food was ready in time, delicious AND the margaritas were still frozen. Well done!!

    Always on point. Great margs and the food is really delicious.

  • Review 133 (2016-04-02 - Rating: 4)

    Arriba Arriba is one of the couple of more contemporary Mexican restaurants, such as El Centro, that have been popping up around Hells Kitchen. The setting here is complemented by a stylish, dim-lighted ambiance. The servers are typically helpful and accommodating. The margarotas are tasty, though not the best Ive had, but the food is great.It is often very crowded during the evenings and especially the weekends, and the prices are in my opinion, on the higher end.

  • Review 134 (2021-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    So fun! Food and drinks were so good. Recommend the 32 oz marg, sangria and sushi taco thing

  • Review 135 (2024-04-26 - Rating: 5)

    Best tacos i ever had, very good margaritas

  • Review 136 (2013-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite NYC Mexican restaurant hands down! It was the first dinner I had when I moved to NY years ago and needless to say, theyve received lots of my money ever since. One may ask why do I frequent Arriba? It is for many reasons.For one, the background music is always hip. Its a mix of every song youve ever loved from the 80s up until now.#2. The decor is eerily cool. Huge murals of Tiki gods with red eyes kinda grows on you.#3. The food is consistently delicious. Everyone Ive ever brought to this restaurant, falls in love with the food and dont mind the reasonable prices.#4. Last but certainly not least, do I frequent Arriba Ariba because of the beautiful model like Brazilian male waiter, with the perfectly arched eyebrows and the size smedium shirt that hugs his physique, who always smiles at me when I dine there? Perhaps...

  • Review 137 (2014-05-10 - Rating: 4)

    This place has become such a favorite, that when recommending it to friends, I refer to it as that one Mexican place over there while gesturing to the west side of Manhattan.The warmly painted walls, lively decor and wooden tables set the atmosphere for casual dining with a hint of party.The margaritas are good enough and chips and salsa keep you happy while waiting for your entre. Prices nudge upwards but the portions are appropriate. Burritos, quesadillas and enchiladas are my favorite choices, moderately spiced, and serviceably prepared. You may not ooh and ahh, but youll leave satisfied and return again without question.

    Another spot to hit in order to enjoy Margaritas and authentic nachos! I was surprised to taste the nachos with the shredded chicken, truly worth the try.

    Skinny Girl Margaritas are $24, which I think is how people stay skinny drinking them, because you can only afford one. The restaurant is overall pleasant.

    Its a great Hells Kitchen Mexican Restaurant. The salsa that you get before the meal is really good. I recommend trying a frozen margarita and a taco salad with a protein of your choice.

    Good place to come for jalapeno Margarita and guac, especially on Mondays (specials). Come for happy hour or delicious fajita/chicken asada dinner. Its really good! The manager is on top of everything!
