Loved my dinner here last week, enjoyed the variety of tacos they offer and the elote. All their margaritas are made in house using fresh fruit juice and you can combine any flavors you want! I tried coconut and cucumber (and it was delicious lol) 🍹The tacos are authentic and you can choose from a wide variety of options. The elote is legit the best in the city and a must try dish as well! Great spot for a quick easy dinner

Why is this not the most popular mexican spot in the Upper East?? This establishment has THE best tacos and margaritas as well as some as the kindest servers. My sister and I ordered both a lychee and mango frozen margarita which came with a cute gummy candy to snack on. The drinks were not too sweet and made with reallll fruit 10/10. The guacamole was the best I have had in a long time. Incredible shrimp and birria tacos.

Loved the option to create your own margaritas, the best I’ve had in the city! Esquites, tacos and guac were very good too

I love this place! I recently moved to the area, and Ive been coming here for some drinks and tacos with my friend. The tacos are good, but I always get the hibiscus margarita (virgin drinks are good here because there is no added syrups!)The service is amazing too! Especially, Matt. He is so kind and welcoming, and always makes my experience there the best. He even remembered my order after coming in a couple times! Kayla is also great.This will be a regular spot for me now, and I definitely recommend!

1st timer here. Im pleasantly surprised! Margaritas were on point! Im a stickler for my margaritas, and this 1 passed the test. Tacos were generous portions and very tasty. Will definitely 💯 be back.

Sooooooooo many different choices of margaritas to choose from!!! It was margarita heaven !!!Definitely the place to grab a few drinks and eat some delicious food the tacos we’re definitely a hit in my book !!! My new favorite place

THE BEST BIRRIA TACOS IN NYC!!!! I’ve tried Barria from a lot of different restaurants all across the city but when I say this is the absolute best I kid you not. The food was flavorful and delicious, not greasy and unseasoned like some other places I’ve tried. The ingredients were fresh and our food was made to order. The Guac and margaritas were great as well. Portion size was great for the price. The vibe was relaxed yet upbeat. I’m not sure of his title but Oscar was a wonderful host, he made me and my daughter feel right at home. Can’t wait to share this incredible spot with my family and friends.

Great spot for amazing margaritas! They have a bunch of flavors to choose from(we had pineapple coconut and mango strawberry) and the service was amazing. Small spot but with Indoor and outdoor seating. Will definitely be going back!

This is a hidden gem!! The food and margaritas were beyond amazing! They have 21 flavors of margs and you can mix and match and make your own combos. The staff was all so friendly, knowledgeable, fun and gave amazing reccemondations. Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection, you can’t go wrong with anything! It’s chill vibes and amazing for a date night! This is a must try spot!!

Great tacos, music, margaritas (they have like 20 flavors and you can combine). Service was amazing as well.

Review 13 (2022-06-29 - Rating: 4)
Esquite was great, but the guacamole and the tacos lacked flavor. Guacamole needed more salt and lime, the chicken tinga tacos were very dry and the carnitas were missing better seasoning.

Amazing dream place hard to believe it’s exist such a heaven 🍸🍸🍸🍹🍹🍹

Review 15 (2024-08-17 - Rating: 5)
This place is just absolute gem in the neighborhood. Possibly some of the best tacos and margs Ive ever had. They use fresh fruit in the drinks and decorate them so thoughtfully with fun little gummies and candy. They are definitely not using margarita mix so they are gooood. Every taco weve tried is excellent. Some faves are the potato chorizo and birria. Highly recommend the frozen marg with mango and tamarind. Such a good spot for a casual dinner esp in the summer. And the staff is so nice. Would travel across town to come here!!

I rave about this spot! I love this spot! I even go alone at times. I feel welcomed and safe. I have also taken friends and they ended up loving it. The 21 flavors of margaritas!!! 😍 Frozen and on the rocks are great! Taco Tuesdays 🌮

Me and my family of 2 kids love this place.. The girl serving us was super and helpful. will visit alot more! All imagine I uploaded was all already tapped into cause food was so good. Please dont get me started on drinks, my wife and I loved them.

I almost don’t want to share the secret of this place because it’s somehow not always packed. Hands down the best margs and great food at a great price.

Review 19 (2024-07-21 - Rating: 5)
Small vibey place with great food! Plenty of seating inside, and outside in warm weather. Lovely, friendly staff

Review 20 (2024-06-25 - Rating: 5)
Terrific tacos and margs! Wait staff is very nice and made great suggestions. Will definitely be coming back!

Review 21 (2022-09-14 - Rating: 5)
I am truly so confused by the amount of negative reviews here and on Yelp. I live in the neighborhood and have come here several times now, it’s always a hit. The tacos are soooo flavorful and every taco tastes completely different, where as at some taco spots all the tacos taste the same. They have great options, good drinks and good vibes.

Review 22 (2024-09-28 - Rating: 5)
This place is shockingly good. Its not great, dont get me wrong. But in this neighborhood its eye-opening.

Review 23 (2023-09-10 - Rating: 5)
The food and drinks were really good and prices are so affordable. The wait staff was exceptionally attentive and nice. The salsas are really good if you like spicy sauces!!

This place is a hidden gem of the upper east side! Its hidden on York Avenue, but its so worth it! They have delicious foods, and like 16 different margarita flavors that are always changing this place is the best

Review 25 (2022-07-09 - Rating: 5)
I am very, very pleased!This taco spot just opened and they are a great addition to the neighborhood! They have ample indoor and outdoor seating (for a sliver of a restaurant), 21+ margarita flavors, and fantastic tacos! Some of the places around here are mediocre in flavor but clearly use high quality ingredients; that’s not the case here. They have that dirty, delicious Brooklyn taste. I had the blueberry margarita and the pink guava margarita. The blackberry garnish was dry with sugar; I think it’s candied? The pink guava came with a little gummy something gummy. I had the bacon tacos and do not regret it! 2 come in an order and they were so, so good! There was something kind of Waffle House-y about them, which is a compliment for me, although I know that won’t translate for everyone.This is a tip-free establishment with regular prices. I’m not sure how they do it but I’m glad everyone is getting paid!

Great margaritas and tacos. Highly recommended.

Review 29 (2024-04-21 - Rating: 5)
Not a typical review leaver, but I had, by far, the best tacos I’ve consumed in Manhattan at this very spot. You can trust me, or can you can not.

Review 30 (2023-07-13 - Rating: 5)
The tacos were Delicious 😋, a lot of meat in each taco, pretty filling, and Super tasty. Margaritas are pretty Good too, but Margarita Cucumber was the BEST margarita I ever tried in my Life! 👏😋. 100% recommend👌

Excellent food. We loved the chicken mole tacos. The flavored margaritas were great too. We truly enjoyed this place. We’ll be coming back for sure

WOW - guac, tacos, drinks were all excellent! Not just good, but genuinely excellent.Will be back for a spicy margarita and the chicken mole tacos

Review 35 (2024-08-26 - Rating: 5)
Loved the cucumber margarita on the rocks. Chips and guac, chicken tacos. Food was pretty good but the main draw is the interesting margarita flavors and reasonable prices.

Review 36 (2023-06-15 - Rating: 5)
Jesus our server was on point!!! Definitely would come again. Loved the atmosphere! Went for drinks mainly but the food was great💯

Review 37 (2022-12-14 - Rating: 5)
Omg, Guava Margaritas on the rocks the best in the world 😋

Review 38 (2022-07-03 - Rating: 4)
Mango margarita was pretty good but a little small. Nachos with chicken tinga were tasty. A little dry, but they give you salsa verde and hot sauce on the side

Review 39 (2024-06-16 - Rating: 5)
SO GOOD! Came here solo for an early dinner and was thrilled with the food, margaritas, and service. This will be my new go to spot. Cant wait to return. YUM!

Friendly staff and great margaritas. The esquite was okay.

Review 41 (2024-06-04 - Rating: 5)
So I found this place on my TikTok & told my boyfriend we had to try it. Customer service 10/10 … atmosphere 10/10 … I ordered the shrimp tacos with a frozen pineapple mango margarita & my boyfriend got the strawberry margarita with the chicken tinga tacos. First off the drinks AMAZING !!! Then came the food … shrimp was well seasoned & though I am not a fan of corn tortillas, they didn’t disappoint. The chicken was so tender & flavorful … so I had to order again & this time we went for steak tacos. & at that point they won me over … & so I thought. Here we are exactly a week later from the first time we visited & we decided to try something different & boy oh boy … those nachos & that GUAC was sooooooo delicious. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND !! & Wednesday is $3 off all margaritas & wines (all day) & they even have a late happy hour I believe from 8-11… this place is really my new go to. And it’s walking distance from my home

Review 42 (2024-04-08 - Rating: 5)
Omg…so good. Forgot to take pics because everything looked so delicious. Came in to dine-in but ended up getting takeout and we had the best experience. The host/server Kayla is so sweet and the food and drinks were quick. The margs are strong & not too sweet, we got strawberry, kiwi strawberry, mandarin, and blood orange to drink. All yummy! You 100% must get the street corn (we’ll come here weekly for this and margaritas), and the chicken tinga nachos were amazing too. Super flavorful and loaded! This is definitely a new go-to spot for us

Came here to grab some nachos real quick, was greeted nicely by the woman at the bar and got the food in less than 10 minutes which was great. Nachos were really good. Will definitely come back for some cocktails next time as they looked really good as well🍹

Review 45 (2023-08-20 - Rating: 5)
Amazing margaritas, and theyre cheap, too. I ordered the whole group. I come here weekly to relax. If you want it to go, you must get food or a dollar nachos.

Best hibiscus margarita in town

Review 47 (2022-11-30 - Rating: 5)
Their Margaritas are phenomenal. I had the mango and pineapple, you know- feeling tropical with the weather & btw each of the 21 flavors ( explained beautifully but Jesus) come with a freshly tailored flavor-inspired garnish. The tacos are simple, yet the toppings are delicately placed to perfection. Chefs kiss! Obsessed. They’ll be sick of me, but see you next Tuesday anyways!

Review 48 (2022-10-30 - Rating: 5)
Absolutely great place for margaritas and food. The ambience, the decor, the staffs and the items on the menus are beyond amazing. Recommend everyone to go there— you won’t regret

Review 49 (2022-09-16 - Rating: 5)
Not your normal Mexican joint. Margs were awesome and their take on nachos is superb. Absolutely loved it - but don’t expect “traditional”… this is anything but! Excellent.

Review 50 (2022-07-12 - Rating: 5)
Great neighborhood spot! The nachos and tacos were delicious. Outdoor seating is nice and the food comes out quickly. Will definitely be going back!

Review 51 (2023-02-11 - Rating: 5)
Loved it! Margaritas were sooo good. The nachos were also amazing. Its more of a café than a bar but still great. Robert was a great server! (Too bad you cant tip lol)

Best margaritas on the upper east side!

Review 53 (2022-12-28 - Rating: 5)
Great local option - frozen margaritas that are slushy, decent tacos, low key good time

Review 54 (2022-11-08 - Rating: 4)
The margaritas are excellent. The drink prices however are pretty steep for this area. And happy hour is late at night for some reason. I’m boring and don’t go out past 8 pm mon-thurs much. But if you do this might work for you bc like I said they do taste excellent.

Food was great. Our server Matilda was wonderful. Highly recommend this place.

Take away margaritas in every flavor imaginable and excellent bar snacks with ample outdoor seating. A new go-to for us in the neighborhood!
