    The this here were delicious. I highly recommend the shrimp tacos. The ambiance, wall art/murals and dance hall were all very Aztec and beautiful. My friends and I loved the DJ, the esters were friendly and again food was great. Now the drinks, Id skip. I did not enjoy it at all. May want to change the bartender or drink itself. Not sure. 4 stars for sure.

    We (group of 4) had a sampler of four flavored pulques: mango, strawberry, pineapple, tamarind. We liked the pineapple and tamarind best. They do mix with white tequila (Puerta Negra/Black Door) to give it a little kick since the pulques bottling process changes the fermentation process. We also tasted the original pulque flavor.We ordered the Molcajete, which had chorizo sausage, steak, chicken, shrimp, and nopales (cactus), all sizzling in a sauce in the volcanic molcajete bowl. Also tasted the tacos al pastor. They served it with a good portion of diced sweet pineapple, and it wasnt greasy.Service was great as they were constantly checking to see if we were ok, needed anything, and cleared the table of any used plates.

    Fun Mexican restaurant with an underground bar. We ordered the Fiesta tacos to try different options. Surprisingly the best ones were the chicken tacos. There is a bar next to the restaurant with a fun vibe. It lightens up after 11:30.

  • Review 4 (2023-02-26 - Rating: 4)

    Having a Latin place for drinks and food in Chinatown is a game changer. The vibe is cute and the classic essence of Latin culture. What makes this place a gem is the hidden pathway to get in there. Makes it more vibrant. The food was delicious! The tuna tortas were so good we had to go for two orders of them! The pitchers aren’t as strong as we’d expect, so if you want a good strong drink stick to what you know. I had to get the mezcal pina and that drink by itself did justice over the pitcher. I loved the music and the service was amazing. They were attentive without being too much and the servers knew their menus to recommend which tacos to get since I’m a taco fanatic. Like always I go for the birria tacos and they did not disappoint. Our favourite was the Aztec soup which is highly recommendable! The flavours that capitulate your taste buds are everything. Then we ended the night to their dance floor room to end the night, so if you want to have fun afterwards (post 9:30pm), then you’ll enjoy a night to eat and a good night for dancing. Highly recommend!

    Enjoyed the vibe here. Staff was friendly and the drinks were really interesting. Tried their homemade michelada mix, pulque (agave wine) and margaritas. Didn’t have any food, but that is a option. Great spot. Would go back.

  • Review 6 (2022-12-17 - Rating: 5)

    Personally I love the fact that this is an underground Latin restaurant in Chinatown. The concept is just fiyaaaa.You find the place by walking into the blue light haha and going down the stairs. The Vybz are right and the Latin music was slamming. Recommended by my girl and it delivered.The atmosphere as I mentioned above is right! The ceviche though did not hit, Im sorry. Needs work, felt very watered down. The rest of the food was flavorful and good.The cocktails were very good, I would definitely return. OHH and it turns into a night club late into the night.

  • Review 7 (2018-09-12 - Rating: 4)

    I love this place for drinks because you can tell the bartenders love their craft. Food is good here and the late night atmosphere is pretty dope.Its a little hidden and its not a storefront so you might venture right passed it and not realize such a cool place exist.

    Just celebrated a birthday of a friend here and it was wonderful! The service and the ambiance was fantastic. A big shoutout to the server assistant Miguel who made it special with a funny request we had! Thank you so much Miguel and the entire staff!P.S.the food was amazing too! Forgot to mention the food!

  • Review 9 (2019-04-07 - Rating: 4)

    Hidden gem if you get there early enough. Service is fun and friendly. Drinks are tasty yet not too strong. Good for when avoiding hangovers. Good selection for feeding groups.

  • Review 10 (2023-10-07 - Rating: 4)

    Great place was pretty dry for a Friday night. Drinks aren’t too expensive our bar tender was very friendly and made drinks quick only thing I didn’t like were the drinks were not strong it was 80 juice 20% tequila which is alright but there should be a option if you want it on the sweeter side or stronger side. Other then that it was a good time with friends

  • Review 11 (2024-03-23 - Rating: 5)

    The best place ever, excellent culinary experience. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the ambiance welcoming. Well definitely be back soon. Thank you for a memorable evening!

    Celebrated my birthday here with a huge group of 26 people. I was in contact with Oscar and he was awesome and very accommodating. Our server was so lovely- she was always on it! Oscar also came to check on us multiple times. The food from the prefixed menu was delicious 10/10 - wish there was more! Honestly it was so good we inhaled it 😁 love coming here too because after dinner we move over to the next room for drinks and dancing! Great night!

    Pulqueria throws the greatest private parties. They made everything celebratory, and the prix fixe meal was delicious. We followed it up with a night of dancing. Highly recommend for birthdays or bachelorettes! Thanks to the whole staff!

    A hard to notice place next to the tea parlor. Nice outdoor seating on the street, booze in a bag and ok service.

  • Review 22 (2022-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    Shhhh, dont tell anyone about this place or we will never get a table there again! This is a hidden gem of NYC and if you skip the happy hour, you should call your therapist for a psychiatric evaluation because you are clearly crazy! Their margaritas are the best in NYC, well I really should say Their pitchers of margaritas are the best in NYC since Ive never gotten them one at a time. Their guac and fish tacos will make you want to fist fight your grandma if she tried to touch yours! Insider tip: Sit at the high top table for people watching and it doesnt hurt that its closer to the bar either. Weve been going there for almost 8 years (is that possible?) and Ive never had a bad experience. WAIT...except this one time a bunch of influencers came in and decided to take over and turn the place into an instagram photo shoot. (Deep breath) The waiter took pity on me and my hubs who were there having a nice night out and noticed the instagram crew going a bit too far with their food photos, and immediately brought us over some tequila shots, and then two more, and then two more. lol. That turned into a freaking hysterical evening that my hubs and I will never forget. Food: Exceptional. Drinks: What drinks? You mean pitchers?: Mind Blowing. Staff: They are my brothers from another mother! I love them! So yeah, head down the steps and dont think twice like I did the first time someone recommend we go there. Wait, what? There are no windows? Im claustrophobic! I said. Trust us? They said. They were right. I love this windowless place! I never feel guilty about drinking early anymore. lol. #itsfiveoclocksomewhere

  • Review 23 (2019-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    This place was amazing. I loved the ambience and the location. Definitely unexpected but a good refresher from the local Canal Street area. The server was so kind and courteous. She had great recommendations. Go for the pescado tacos, and the chicken was great too. We got a shot of tequila that was off the menu. Very traditional Corralejo tequila shot. The server helped us get it. Honestly one of the best places around thats a hidden gem.

  • Review 24 (2013-09-21 - Rating: 4)

    Love the gimmick and the food is actually good too. Not blow your mind good but but tasty and fresh. The chips and guacamole are great. Tacos are pretty good. I had the pork belly sandwich which was fantastic. Will def return and highly recommend. Make sure to make reservations.

  • Review 25 (2022-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    Favorite place to go to, the food is always amazing, and the sangria is perfectly made. They have a DJ on weekends. Certainly a hidden gem in Chinatown. 10/10 Recommend!

  • Review 26 (2022-12-04 - Rating: 4)

    Decent Mexican place in Chinatown. Food is ok. Drinks are good. Vibe is great. Service is awesome.

  • Review 27 (2018-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    I have just been to the bar area, so this is not a food review!! The music was great, the environment was awesome, everyone was dancing and it was not only latinos, which I appreciate the diversity in these type of bars. I would truly reccommend if you feel home sick, or if you want to dance, or also if you just want to have a good time.

  • Review 28 (2015-06-25 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect Happy Hour spot as it is a hidden gem (a little hard to find if you dont know precisely where it is - and the dark stair entrance way may seem a bit sketchy, but I promise its not!) and is quiet until later in the evening. The bartenders were nice, the sangria was probably the best Ive ever had, and the tacos were equally delicious. I will be back!

  • Review 29 (2018-09-23 - Rating: 4)

    My wife and I had our first date there 5 years ago. We went back several weeks ago and the food and service was wonderful my issue was the ambience. The lighting was wayyyy to bright for a late evening dinner. I remember our previous visit was dark and sexy with candles lighting the tables. If you are going for the food and a nice mezcal infused cocktail then totally worth it.

  • Review 30 (2023-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to, and I would argue I am very picky. Everything is hot, fresh, authentic and delivered by the nicest staff- especially Santiago!

  • Review 35 (2015-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in NYC. Its a bit ironic that its in a dark alley in Chinatown but thats besides the point. Their food is so tasty but its a bit expensive. I like their tacos and tostadas. Their margaritas are great but their pulque drinks are more of an acquired taste. I tried it once and it just didnt appeal to me. Try to get a reservation if you can since it gets crowded here late at night.

  • Review 36 (2019-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    The mashed potatoes are made out of life itself. Order this and you will be both happy and sleepy.

    Authentic Mexican food with full flavors, perfect portions and thoughtful presentstion. Was not informd of kitchen closed and check was cloced bedfore any heads up. Service is always on point; friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean and safe environment

  • Review 39 (2018-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    Cool underground spot. They have a nice little cocktail menu and offer Pulque, which should be obvious from the name of the restaurant 😅 the food is good, I had good service the 2 times that Ive been here and they have happy hour drinks and bites. Its moderately priced not your typical inexpensive Mexican fare, but its a nice experience and the plates are well prepared and presented.

  • Review 40 (2015-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    Pulqueria is a Mexican joint hidden downstairs on Pell in Chinatown, with a bar side and a dining side. Its small, but authentic, loud, but fun and the waitstaff are so darling! Horchata and Guacamole, amazing! Im sure the tacos are delicious as well, but I didnt have any. Definitely make reservations because its popular and there were many large birthday groups there.

  • Review 41 (2024-03-30 - Rating: 5)

    10/10 place! Great bar tenders, amazing drinks and even better time!

  • Review 42 (2021-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    Pulqueria is a trendy, modern Mexican cantina located at 11 Doyers Street, Chinatown in Manhattan, New York. They serve excellent Mexican cuisine and great drinks. It looks like a dungeon since it’s underground. It’s cozy and a wonderful place to go with a couple of friends or family. Sadly it has been permanently closed consequence of the pandemic.

    Excellent service, loved the food , amazing place to enjoy w friends.!.! Tku staff so nice people

  • Review 44 (2018-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    This is a great Hispanic vibe in the middle of Chinatown. Great latin music on a Friday night with lots of salsa, reggaeton and some american dance music. The place is small and cozy, beware that you will find yourself having a good time with a lot of strangers. If you come in a group and you all like margaritas I suggest getting the pitchers instead of individual drinks. One margarita is around $15 and the pitchers $50-$60 and they will get you around 8 drinks.

  • Review 45 (2019-11-14 - Rating: 5)

    It never fails as one of the best places to enjoy Mexican food and party. I missed they didnt have Frozen margarita but their service was so kind that made us have such a good time

    Surprisingly found my new favorite Mexican place on Doyers Street in Chinatown. The place is large and has lots of tables for gatherings. The food offered was pretty standard and not too special or interesting but was good quality.

  • Review 51 (2021-04-24 - Rating: 5)

    This place was my favorite secret weapon, I feel so honored to have found it, A diamond in the rough in the heart of Chinatown.. it’s INCREDIBLE, vibe, food, drinks, and music. I used to describe this place as you walked down stairs that it was like you were being teleported to a Mexico.After quarantine, of ALLLLLLLL the places in New York, I hope this place makes it.If i find out it closed, it will be one of the saddest days.

    When you hear a place is a “rare gem” especially a Mexican food joint in Chinatown we were skeptical. Let me tell you we were BLOWN AWAY with the food and service by Pablo and the owner Max!!

Max also showed us his upcoming nightclub that we plan on going to when we come back to NYC!Thanks for a GREAT time Max, Pablo and staff!!

    This place is a little hidden but has a very cute vibe. The pulque drinks are generous in portion. I’m used to having smaller portions of it. I enjoyed the food a lot and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommended.

    Reviews are not something anyone takes time to sit down and do, but for pulqueria restaurant it must be done, from the drinks to the food and most importantly the service was a delight. If you are looking for a impeccable night with no complaints the next morning, I recommend this place 100%

  • Review 135 (2018-10-25 - Rating: 5)

    Its yet another amazing bar in the city that also has a restaurant. I have not had the pleasure of eating the restaurant. But I been to the bar side a few times. The music is really good and we had appetizers. The guy that took care of us Jonathan was supper kind and happy, such a wonderful soul and genuine person. Had a great time.

  • Review 136 (2018-02-21 - Rating: 5)

    Shrimp tacos are amazing fried as well as the fish. The menu has something for everyone! It is a Mexican hidden gem in Chinatown. Christian, David, Patricia and all the staff are super friendly and hospitable. The bar is on the money!!! Enjoy

  • Review 141 (2022-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    Underground weekday taco surprise in Chinatown! Very fun, colorfully decorated place that caught our attention off the street with a neon light down the stairs. For food, esquites, the chicken and carne asada tacos were easy hits. Will definitely come back with friends for the Tacos Fiesta or for the two of every taco: El Jefe de Jefes.

  • Review 142 (2020-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    First time going to this place and I was impressed. Our waitress was very attentive, although she did miss one side order. She brought us complimentary drinks to try out. The food was very tasty, and the drinks were delicious. I’d definitely return!

  • Review 143 (2022-09-13 - Rating: 5)

    Love the ambiance and they have very friendly staff! Margarita was incredible

  • Review 144 (2014-08-14 - Rating: 4)

    So I really liked this place. And this review is long overdue considering my lover brought me here on Valentines day almost a year ago.Hidden from major foot traffic on a dingy Chinatown side street, this place surprisingly dishes out pretty awesome Mexican food and even better margaritas. My lover knows me quite well as Mexican food & margaritas are my favorite combo. And though I was hesitant considering I dont really like Chinatown I was totally impressed.My skirt steak was amazing... Margaritas were made with care... And the decor is funky and inviting. Where am I?Oh and they have a lounge/ bar with a DJ right next to the dining area... Cool to just walk right on over and shake your rump a bit. Downside? Place is a bit overpriced. But I loved this place-- awesome date spot.

    I didnt spend a lot of time here; only stopped in for a quick bite. Its a really nice place. Great decor and the hostess was very nice. The carnitas taco were the best, but didnt really enjoy the fish taco though. Price was OK, a little high, but its NYC folks.

  • Review 148 (2022-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    The margaritas are delicious. So is the food. I highly recommend the quesadillas. And you MUST TRY the churros! The service was great too.

  • Review 149 (2022-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for pulque drinkers. The whole bar is stacked with the best tequilas and mezcals. The vibe is great.

  • Review 150 (2019-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    Stopped in for cocktails and found a gem in China Town. We grabbed a few different margaritas and they were all delicious. My favorite was definitely the some like it hot. The music was lively and the place filled up with people coming to dance. Definitely a good spot if youre in this part of town

  • Review 151 (2019-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of my favorites to go dance and kill the night. Get there early cause its completely packed by midnight. The cocktails are a pretty good option and they also have real tequila and mezcal (you would not believe how scarce are they here). Ive heard the restaurant is also amazing, but I tend to concentrate on the bar.

  • Review 152 (2021-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    10/10!! Highly recommend the drinks. The hospitality is A+, this place was a happy coincidence for us and we know you’ll enjoy this spot.

    Try the Smoking gun. Mezacal deliciousness. Smokey and mellow with a slightly sweet dried/aged pineapple garnish. Barbacoa tacos were a great compliment. A bit pricey but I dug it. Bartenders were cool as well.

  • Review 162 (2016-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    Whats not to love about this place? It does get a bit crowded but the music is always good and the drinks are delicious. I still consider it a hidden gem, even when theres a ton of people here. Apotheke is right next door and the line is always long- try this place instead if youre in the mood for some good drinks and dancing

  • Review 165 (2013-02-24 - Rating: 4)

    This place has a great ambiance and vibe in Chinatown. Very hipster chic with great food. However, the service sucks. The waiter took forever to take our order but the food came out pretty fast. Some of it ended up at someone elses table and then ours but we got it eventually. Might go again if I was craving the food.
