    Great staff and amazing food!I loved thier cocktails and tacos!. Would also recommend grilled octopus, really flavorful.There are 3 different types of guac and while the quantity is lesser than expected, the chips are amazingly fresh and flavorful

    Kahlo offers a vibrant and modern take on Mexican cuisine, delivering an exceptional dining experience. I started with the Kahlo & Rivera Guacamole, a unique blend of avocado, lime, mango relish, and black garlic ancho chile paste, paired perfectly with crispy tortilla chips, along with Grilled Shishito Peppers that had a smoky and flavorful kick.For the main course, I enjoyed the Los Cabos, Veggie “Carnitas,” and El Gobernador tacos, each bursting with fresh, bold flavors, from the wild-caught Atlantic cod with a zesty cabbage relish to the shiitake mushroom “carnitas” and the rich lobster with a sweet pineapple relish.To accompany the meal, I tried the Bonito, Mr. Xoloti, and Granizo cocktails, each expertly crafted with premium tequila and mezcal, offering a perfect balance of citrus, spice, and depth.For dessert, the Tres Leches was light and indulgent, complemented by a smooth and unique corn liqueur to finish the evening.A special shoutout to Isabella, my server, whose warm and attentive service truly elevated the experience, making Kahlo a standout destination for modern Mexican dining in NYC.

    What an awesome meal! The entire experience at Kahlo feels intentional and curated. The decor is beautiful and the food creates unique touches on familiar flavors. As a huge Friday Kahlo fan, I liked that she wasn’t a characature here but more tasteful, even features pictures I’ve never seen of her. The service was kind and attentive without being overbearing which is a tough balance to strike. I’d recommend this place to anyone!

    This place is a beautiful ode to Frida. The food is amazing. The drinks are amazing. The service is amazing. We had the ceviche and guacamole for appetizers. They add a black garlic Chile paste and fresh mango that simply elevate the guacamole to give it a smoky, well seasoned taste. I had the skirt steak and it was cooked to perfection, medium/well. It was nicely seared on the outside, but pink and moist on the inside. My friend had the wild sea bass and she didnt leave a crumb to spare. The drinks were delicious, they cost $21 each. We ended by sharing the Tres Leches. It came with fresh mint leaves and strawberries. Very lovely! The only reason I would not go here often is because of the price. It is not cheap. A dinner for 2 (2 drinks, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 1 dessert to share) cost about $300 with tip. It was definitely worth the price tag! If you want to splurge on some fine Mexican dining, get great service, and be reminded of Frida...you have to go! Viva la vida!

    Nice atmosphere and great service. Great food with a little twist on our favorite dishes. Wish they had a chimichuri like sauce with the skirt steak instead of the breakfast potatoes.

    Oh my God, I am absolutely obsessed with Kahlo!! When I came here for the first time, it was to celebrate my 31st birthday and it was incredible! This place has the BEST service in Hudson Yards, go see Chris + Sophia (they are so wonderful & will take the best care of you and your group)! Jeremy & Jorge will take great care of you at the bar, too!! Having been back several times over the last couple of years (since my initial visit), I have to say that it is always a great experience at Kahlo. Their tequila selection & cocktails are SO good. For their speciality cocktails, definitely try the Bonito and the Mr. Xoloti (the latter is spicy, and its delicious)!!For food, a few of my favorite starters include their: (1) Kahlo & Rivera Guacamole, (2) Black Truffle Esquites, and (3) Tuna Tostadas. For dinner, you cant go wrong with the Los Cabos Tacos. Their side of handmade tortillas are also an excellent compliment to your meal! I cannot recommend this spot enough, 10/10 recommend!! :-)

    First time here with friends, nice, quit and cozy atmosphere, great place to spend time with friends or bring your date. Foods were pricey and quality was “ok”.

  • Review 8 (2023-03-06 - Rating: 4)

    Went here for brunch on a Saturday. The place had a nice ambiance and staff were pretty attentive. The brunch menu was light in its options and the food tasted Mexican - American. We ordered the French toast and it was beautifully presented and sweet. The steak and eggs dish seemed tender and boasted full bodied flavor. They had delicious guacamole and seasoned tortilla chips for an appetizer option.

  • Review 9 (2024-12-06 - Rating: 4)

    Wow, this experience was great. Especially from our server Isabella. The chicken came out perfectly cooked. We were really impressed with all the food. The entrees came late so they comped our sides which we didnt expect at all. All in all it was a very good meal.

  • Review 10 (2023-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    A modern and elevated Mexican dining experience that brings next level service to the neighborhood! 🌮 The Mr Xoloti cocktail and Skinny Margarita were spot on. The La Catrina Guacamole, El Gobernador Tacos, and Arrachera Steak were simply exquisite. 🥑🦞🥞 The incredible service by Sophia made the experience even better. ❤️ Food enthusiasts.. prepare your taste buds. Highly recommended. 💯

  • Review 11 (2024-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent restaurant! We went for dinner with coworkers here the other day. We had to make several adjustments to our reservation but they were super flexible and accommodating. The experience was exquisite. The drinks and the food were an elevated experience with very authentic flares. The staff attending us made excellent recommendations and was very attentive to our group. We had a great experience and would definitely come back.

  • Review 12 (2023-04-24 - Rating: 5)

    I took my actual Mexican family members to Kahlo and was worried the food might be too modern for them to enjoy...boy was I WRONG! THEY LOVED IT. The guacamole and Chips were 10/10 for them. The chips have a good flavor to them all by them selves. Then the drinks were good (we got mocktails). The food was delicious!!!! Atmosphere: intimate with ambient lighting. I would go back!

  • Review 13 (2022-07-12 - Rating: 4)

    Very cool vibe! The food is alright and a bit overpriced, but still good. Nice presentation though! The tacos were well made and tasted good. The tostadas was the nicest plated and wanted more of them! I got the Arroz del Jardin and it was nice, but definitely could have used more veggies! Not that filling either so if you want something more substantial, Id opt for the tacos.

  • Review 14 (2022-03-30 - Rating: 4)

    It was our first time in Kahlo and we really liked it. It is also very close to The McKittrick Hotel so it was very practical to dine here first and walk to the venue.Decor and tableware were really cool.I had guacamole & chip and empanadas, my boyfriend had lamb shank and all were delicious.Overall, it was good service, delicious food and cool ambiance. A bit noisy though if you are looking for a quieter evening.

  • Review 15 (2021-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    Had a wonderful dinning experience! The food was all great. So was the staff. There was a bit of a misunderstanding and they were extremely apologetic and comped some shots 🥂 is nice to see that they care about their clients. As is mind bottling the amount of “high end” establishments where patrons are treated as if they are doing you a favor.

  • Review 16 (2021-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    This a masterpiece of culinary art!!! My mojito was the pure essence of fun with mint sweet and citrus. This was followed by the lobster coctel which was a melange coconut goodness and creaminess the sweetness of the lobster with delicious pineapple. I’ve never had such a melange of flavors perfectly balance in a stylist painting of yummy. The prawns Diablo were the devil in the citrus and heat! We then had tacos, los cabos and shrimp al pastor. Heat and spicy and sour and citrus all blended so well that it was like paint brush strokes of flavor and texture. This was amazing.

  • Review 17 (2021-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    Visiting NYC for our son’s 40th Birthday, we met up at Kahlo, a modern Mexican cuisine restaurant for dinner on an evening drizzling on and off. First if you are taking a cab or Uber, make sure they stop at the corner of 29 and 10th Ave. Ours didn’t and lucky for us Bibi at the front check-in walked a block over to find us and guide us in. Lovely entrance with a huge flower wall. We walked to the bar and had cocktails before our table was ready.Once our table was ready Mario V was our server and helped by others. The Manager was also there and was really nice to give us a special toast for the Birthday chocolate cake.We ordered the Guac El Charro, Molotes Trio and Lobster Coctal. All great. Then prawns’ side salas, 2 steaks, queso fresco and the Branzino which was amazing. Also Mole de Pollo and tuna Tostadas.Excellent service and food. We weren’t rushed and when we left, we took some more pictures.A great choice and strongly recommend

  • Review 18 (2023-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent dinner. Food- 5/5; Service- 5/5; and Ambiance 4/5. Every dish was better than the last! I don’t recall the specific names of the dishes but we had the guacamole with black garlic, the salad, the fish tacos, and the vegetarian rice entree. Everything was bursting with flavor, freshness, and skill (kudos to the chef). I think this is the best guacamole I’ve ever had— I wish it were bigger! Next time I’d love to try the cocktails, but it was a work night. The service was outstanding and polite. The ambiance was great except that the music was so loud I could not hear my dining companion talk. If they lowered the music a bit, this place would be perfect all around. I’ll be back!

  • Review 19 (2023-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    I can not explain how amazing this place it is! The food and drinks were absolutely original and delicious. The decor and atmosphere and staff was very nice. Definitely recommend it.

  • Review 20 (2024-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    OMG! Such a beautiful place! The food was amazing - everything we ordered was delicious. I had saved this place on Google, and to celebrate my birthday, I decided to give it a try. We dont regret anything about it. The decor, the waitress, the drinks, the appetizers, and the entree were all fantastic. This is a place that I will definitely visit again. I give them a 20/10.

  • Review 21 (2023-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    The atmosphere is nice and cozy, and the food is really good. We couldn’t try the cocktails but they seemed very good as well. Totally recommend it!

  • Review 22 (2021-09-26 - Rating: 4)

    Very good food. We had several different appetizers to start. The lobster cocktail, empanadas and diablo shrimp were very good. The shishito peppers were very good although a couple of the them were surprisingly like fire! The menu was small. I had the pork tacos and a side of green rice that were both delicious. Overall a little pricey but a fun night.

  • Review 23 (2024-06-12 - Rating: 5)

    My leadership team & I were in town for a meeting. Our company has an office in NY, and we had dinner @ Kahlo on 6/10. We were a fairly tame yet large party of 16 people and the staff was super accommodating.The food, service and staff were very nice and professional which only made for an even more pleasurable experience.I highly recommend them for large parties (please call ahead for large groups so they can accommodate) for dinner or just drinks.

  • Review 24 (2021-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    I really likes everything about this restaurant. The place was so nicely decorated the ambiance was great and the food was amazing. I think this is a perfect date spot. The quality of the food was great and wasn’t too pricey compared to the portions you’d get.

  • Review 25 (2024-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome restaurant, we are from Texas and loved the food. Great margaritas, real ingredients. Our waitress Isabella was great!

  • Review 26 (2020-02-12 - Rating: 4)

    You have to walk in with set expectations. It is an upscale Mexican restaurant, not necessarily your weekly go-to when you’re craving some Mexican food after work. The price is high, the portions are small but the quality of the food is good. The ambiance and space is nice. The service was a little spotty for us and needs some work, especially for an upscale place off Hudson Yards. It’s a bit further west if you’re not in the area already. If you’re in the mood for a nice meal with a date or friends to celebrate an occasion, give it a try.

  • Review 27 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing food, cocktails and ambiance!Loved the decor and portions were very generous.

  • Review 30 (2024-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    The food and salsas are fantastic but my favorite part of this dining experience was our server Kerri she was the epitome of hospitality. Going above and beyond to give recommendations we’d like and ever brought out salsas that we’d like.

  • Review 31 (2019-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome place just a few steps away from The Vessel. The decor is classy, spacious, fresh and inviting. The food is delish, tapas style, so portions are relatively on the smaller side, but fulfilling enough.I had the guacamole with mango, and the lamb tacos. Both amazing, smooth, rich flavors. I also had the Fresa cocktail, the perfect touch of fermentation! For dessert I had flan and chocolate mousse. Also really good, specially the mouse, the flann was a little bland, but paired with a Rosè, had the right touch of sweet!Service was also friendly, patient and quick!

  • Review 32 (2024-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing delicious food & beautiful restaurant with great vibes!Our server Kerry was amazing. Gave us some great recommendations and was attentive, fun, and sweet.I had the Granizo drink and the veggie carnitas and everything was delicious!!Will definitely be coming back.

  • Review 33 (2022-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Overall, great value and A++ across the board. Cocktails and food were all delicious, exciting, and memorable. For cocktails, the Fulang Chang and for entree, the Mole de Pollo Campestre - both hit the spot and I’ll definitely order again. The Elote was super well seasoned (the truffle was a nice touch) and a hit with the group. But the star of the night was the service - from the hostess, to the bartender, to the wait staff. Everyone was accommodating and committed to offering a fantastic dining experience - and they did! Ambiance/decor is beautiful, elegant, and edgy without trying too hard or feeling sceney. Kahlo has soul and I can’t wait to return.

  • Review 34 (2022-02-12 - Rating: 4)

    I would have given a three if the food and drink werent great! The host wasnt the friendliest, and we had to wait to place orders and for water and stuff. The rest of the staff, though, was fine. Guac was amazing, drinks were refreshing, and the food felt fresh. Staff can do a bit better, maybe next time :)

  • Review 35 (2024-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    The food was amazing and Kerry was such a genuine waitress and gave us all of the best recommendations! The best service and food would 100% recommend.

  • Review 36 (2024-10-25 - Rating: 4)

    The place itself is beautiful with this against chandelier and colorful surroundings. We went for lunch and thank goodness it wasnt too crowded because having a communication would be difficult. The decor is tearful and the vibe is creative. The food was ok. I ordered the Cabo tacos but the fish was dry inside a thick batter. My friend had the vegetarian mushrooms al “pastor.” and he thought there was too much broccoli on the base. Its continent to the highline but just ok.

  • Review 37 (2024-08-24 - Rating: 4)

    The food was good and very tender, and the cocktails were innovative. The ambiance was a bit dim, overall good experience.

  • Review 41 (2022-07-01 - Rating: 4)

    Food was nice, it was a reconciliation for me with the Mexican food. The outdoor space is nice but unfortunately very uncomfortable with the noisy trucks passing through all the time. Hopefully NYC put some speed regulation to make this outdoor dining options more enjoyable

  • Review 42 (2023-10-26 - Rating: 5)

    Needed a dinner spot close to The Shed before a 7pm show and this fit the geographic requirements. We had a sense it was going to be good based on the friendly reception at the door and beautiful interior, you step off an unremarkable West Chelsea sidewalk and into a calm and excitingly decorated space. We were greeted by at least 3 people, all with heartfelt smiles. We had some specialty cocktails that were creative and refreshing, shared one of the guacamole dishes, and ordered fish and the chicken mole as entrees. These entrees were fantastic, we each thought our own dish was delicious but want to order the other dish on our soon-to-be next visit. Reservations definitely recommended, during our unrushed two hours there, the entire place filled up and it was a Wednesday.

  • Review 44 (2024-03-22 - Rating: 4)

    Im visiting from out of town and found this place on Google maps when I was looking for lunch. I saw pictures of dishes that were apparently only available for dinner. The lunch menu is quite abbreviated and it was difficult to find something I wanted. For me, I feel like this place was s slightly overpriced for what was offered. However! The staff here is great, the service was excellent, and my Host shared with me places to visit while in town, and even gave us a free shot for my wifes birthday.

    You will find this great lunch spot right off the High Line at Hudson Yards.The esquites were prepared just right and had a balance of sweet corn and just the right amount of lime.Tuna tostadas were stacked sky high and flavorful.The Winter salad had some of the best variety for a kale inspired salad that I’ve seen in a long time.The tacos could’ve have been a bit more seasoned for my taste but I did appreciate the presentation.I suggest the steak because everything prior to the main course setup the end beautifully!

    Beautifully decorated place with friendly service and good food. Tres leches dessert was exceptional. Went there for lunch and felt that the lunch menu should not be as pricey - it was over $100 for two without drinks, and we were the only people in the restaurant so clearly the demand is not there.

  • Review 58 (2020-09-13 - Rating: 5)

    I was given the opportunity to have dinner at Kahlo a few days ago. EVERYTHING WAS JUST SUPERB! Perfectly splendid! My waiter was very knowledgeable about their menu. He recommended a fish meal and it was just delicious! I cannot remember all the names of what I ordered, but everything was just nicely prepared and yummy! 😊 I finished everything, from salad to appetizer to main meal😊.If you are looking for a friendly, professional, and to suit todays environment, a health safety atmosphere, to enjoy a mouthwatering meal, look no further, Kahlo is the please to be!

  • Review 60 (2023-03-30 - Rating: 5)

    Chic upscale Mexican restaurant close to the High Line. I went in hoping it would be more than Mexican, but expensive, and it delivered! Attentive service, very attractive surroundings, and the dishes tasted outstanding - and were plated impressively to boot. Expansive wine list, though just one Mexican wine (a dry, somewhat funky rose) by the glass. Really interesting cocktails with fresh takes on tried and true standbys as well. And yes, plenty of photography on the walls depicting the namesake artist to go with her art.

    New York is important to us all but then again so are modernist surrealists like Frida Kahlo so I decided to do a search and I found the most amazing chandelier .... A chandelier I could live in, so I went and sat at the bar & took it all in. Jorge the bar master made everything great with the way he explained the cocktails and was able to recommend them. The Diego I chose and was so happy I did because like Frida and Diego it was a fantastic surprise spice layered with deep amounts of alcohol and then a new honey lathering. Great job. Ill be back and definitely order it again. Thank you for everything Jorge your awesome

    As a party of eight we were struggling to find a place in West Chelsea to have a nice dinner, but as soon as we arrived the hostess worked very hard to seat us as soon as possible, and she did. The food, cocktails and service were great, our waiters Isabela and Camilo did everything to make us have one of the best times weve had in NYC. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal and GREAT service.

  • Review 64 (2024-02-10 - Rating: 5)

    This is a gem! The decor and atmosphere are a perfect mesh of elevated glam and the comforts of home. The service is impeccable!!! Literally everyone on the floor acknowledged us and was genuinely concerned with our experience. The food is top tier! The vuelve a la vida tostada was extremely fresh and a generous portion. The truffle carne asada sandwich was decadent and unlike anything else I’ve ever had. We had the Frida, strawberry margarita and a spicy margarita for drinks. They were all amazing. We had the key lime and tequila dessert. It was beautifully flambés at our table. Do not let this quiet and quaint spot fool you. You want to eat here!!!!!!! I cannot say enough to tell you why you need to come and eat here!!!!!!

    Excellent and elevated Mexican with great food and cocktails. W enjoyed guac, chips, salsa, tacos, and other traditional dishes with a fun and refined twist.Adorable ambience and lounge music at the perfect volume. Cozy but not cramped tables, plush and very comfy chairs.This is an ideal spot for group hangs, dates, and solo diners.Don’t skimp the best tres leches and churros!

    I serendipitously stumbled upon this restaurant waiting to see a play across the street. The ambiance was beautiful. The food was delicious; I had the steak. Drinks are on point and as an added bonus, the bartender Christopher was super charming. I will definitely return when I’m in the area.

  • Review 68 (2024-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    The food and drinks are exceptional here! Was very impressed. Goat cheese guac… chefs kiss. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly.My one piece of feedback to this place is there some ambiance elements that take away from the experience. Disco ball is very out of place and distracting. Same with the hostess dressed up as Frida Kahlo. Just felt it took away from it feeling classy there.

  • Review 69 (2022-02-21 - Rating: 5)

    Very good Mexican food in an attractive restaurant with a cool vibe.Not street or folk Mexican (which is also very good), it’s more like Mexican cuisine. The molé is awesome, and the barbacoa is outrageous. Good drinks too.The service was exceptional. I would give this place 6 stars if I could.It’s proximity to MSG is also a huge plus. We were in the area for a concert, and a lot of midtown places are eh. But this spot really nails it. Highly recommend.

    I cannot express how much I love this restaurant, from the food to the staff everyone is amazing, the place is very well kept. This is my husbands and Is official date night restaurant. The manager Martha is super involved and attentive and really nice, makes you feel at home and really remembers you 😁😁 The food does not disappoint, everything is delicious, I always ask for the chefs special and MY GOD its good. Their combination of seafood and fruit is amazing. And to top it all off GET THE TRÉS LECHES !!! Just get it, trust me and tell me how you feel afterwards 😋😋Also a big shout out to our official waiter Francisco, he is super great and helpful.

    Ughhh I can’t even begin to describe how good my experience was! The drinks were delicious, food was amazing (especially the elotes and shrimp tacos!) and the service was exceptional (our waiter was Rafael, who was fantastic, but every single employee was so nice!) Make sure you also treat yourself to the tres leches even if it’s not your birthday because OMG, it’s the best tres leches I’ve ever had in my life! Beautiful decor as well. Can’t wait to go back 😋😋😋

    Really enjoyed my time here, the ambiance is warm and the seats are cozy. It definitely feels like a good date spot. My group(3) got tacos that we thought were a bit over pricy but they were DEFINITELY quality. I think besides the food youre paying for— its the presentation, environment and honestly... thats fine, this place is worth it.

  • Review 82 (2021-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    The drinks and food are delicious! We were able to walk in and get a seat, but I definitely recommend a reservation. Between the 3 people in my party, we loved all the drinks, appetizers, entrees and deserts we got.

    Exceptional service and staff which really makes it a well rounded & enjoyable experience. The cocktails were balanced and the drink with spiced tamarind was smooth and lovely. Looks like Happy Hour has $10 drink options! The yellow fin tostadas were incredible! I think it’s the salty bits of roe on top that makes for a fiesta in your mouth! Fun ambiance, creative food options, cool vibe including their outdoor garden set up for these crazy times. Will be back!

  • Review 85 (2021-04-28 - Rating: 4)

    Checked this spot out using a voucher from the app, Pulsd. It was $49 for a 3 course dinner for two with drinks. The deal includes one of their guacamoles, a botanita, a plato or taco dish and 2 cocktails, wine or beer. We each got their signature Frida cocktail with St. Germain that was really good. We ordered the kahlo & rivera guacamole with mango relish, black garlic and ancho chile. We ordered the maine lobster botanita with coconut, mango and pineapple relish and a crispy lotus chips. For our entree, we order mole de pollo campestre, the mole chicken with epazote poblano rice. We checked in through Yelp and got free tequila shots too which served as our dessert. Everything was really flavorful and delicious. I would definitely go back here.

  • Review 86 (2019-05-13 - Rating: 4)

    The food is amazing but pricey for the portions.There are no real options for kids. I was a bit surprised that the “Kahlo” decor is lacking. There are just a few pieces with her photos placed in various dark corners... there isn’t much there to appreciate and celebrate the iconic artist. I would suggest they made more of her picture, art prints and maybe some representation of her style in jewelry or clothing more prominent and visible throughout. Other than that the service was good.

    The place was really cool. My friends and i are vegetarian, we got there a little late on a Friday so they didnt have alot of veg options in the late night menu but we were able to get the cheese enchiladas. Recommend for those who dont eat meat. The waitress was the sweetest and the horchata shots were so good!

  • Review 89 (2022-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    A beautiful restaurant, designed for romantic lunches or dinners. The service was excellent, timely and personable. The hostess did a lovely job of welcoming guests and looking after them. Starters were delicious and so were the mains - gorgeous concoction of spices, aromas and flavours of food, beautifully presented. High marks for the whole experience, look forward to returning there.

    Last night was the first time we have dinner @ Khalo and it was delicious. Our server was full of personality plus attentive and knowledgeable. The environment and food was fenomenal. I will recommend that if you are around and you are in the mood for fine Mexican food this is the place to go..

  • Review 91 (2022-04-04 - Rating: 4)

    This spot very charming, pleasing to the eye, good service. The music is a little too loud which forces to yell otherwise the person in front of you can’t hear you much. I tried small bites and the Tuna asada was exceptional, a little grilled on the outside and raw inside, tacos were really flavorful but I bit dry.

    Best Mexican Restaurant in town. Friendly and so delicious. The vegetarian taco is so good and the jalapeño sauce by the side is excellent. Start with La Doña Guacamole and the Berro salad. Enjoy an excellent dinner with nice music.

  • Review 98 (2019-06-29 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome service, decor and amazing food. My favorites: Yellow Fin Seared Tuna - Tostadas (sensational combination of tastes), Al Pastor Tacos - Shrimp tacos w/ pineapple and must have guacamole + topped with a tropical pineapple salsa like deliciousness and pulled pork tacos. Looks small at 1st but more than you realize. Pty size 3+, order 2. Shishito peppers usually a no brainer however not my favorite bc w/ their other dishes are so amazing, unless your ordering multi-sides/ starters.

  • Review 99 (2021-04-26 - Rating: 5)

    This restaurant left me speechless. The best tasting, most inspired, creative and authentic Mexican cuisine I’ve ever tasted. The cocktails compliment their menu in a way I’ve rarely experienced. Their selections of mezcal and tequila are top notch. I highly recommend you to do the mezcal flight. The wait staff are extremely knowledgeable and can expertly guide you through the menu, answering any questions you throw their way. From the minute you walk in to this place, you’re transported. Whoever they hired to do the interior design did a bang up job. From top to bottom, this place absolutely rocks. First date, anniversary, birthday party, you name it. This is the restaurant to go to.

    We had a great time on new Years Eve joining the celebrations . They were very accommodating . Apparently if you are visiting Hudson yards this is a great option to catch some fusion dishes . I had the duck it was one of the most best I have had . The riced broccoli was great and the twist with mango was excellent . Sadly I cannot recommend the lobster .

    Since my hubby and I discovered Kahlo two months ago it has become our default place to go for celebrations and to take guests from out of town to.The place is designed very elegantly, and enough space between tables to keep it quiet and pleasant.The food is INCREDIBLE, especially everything with sea food in it, and the staff is so friendly and fun.Gonna be visiting many more times to come.

    Love the atmosphere. Service is great. Sadly, food lacks flavor. Or salt. Something. Lots of potential, but overall a bit underwhelming. Drink was nice. Also lacked the jalapeno punch I was expecting. The cut of the lime on the plates is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but hard to squeeze. Also. The table next to me asked for ketchup...🥴 why? Lol.

We had a couple cocktails off the menu that were unique and delicious. The guacamole was AMAZING, the tuna tostadas I found very unique! Great presentation and they gave us a round of complimentary tequila shots after dinner, which was a real surprise and very kind (they didn’t know it I don’t think, but it was my moms birthday). Thank you, Kahlo, I hope you guys have many years of great business!
