Andrew ChoiMarço 10, 2016Something you don't get to try often: squid with black mole & chorizo mayo. If you're getting a cocktail, the Winter is bomb (mezcal, alpine walnut, & bourbon "mist") and so is the Saffron.
Tina ChangMaio 31, 2013Pistachio guacamole is amazing. Red snapper ceviche, asparagus with poached duck egg, soft shell crab tacos and lobster with cheese dish are a must try. Their new specialty margaritas are amazing.
- Chad HornerAbril 1, 2016the 3-course tasting is the play: guac for the table, plus each person gets tacos, a small plate, and dessert. among the starters the squid is a standout, and don't ignore the cocktail menu!
CITY GRITAgosto 5, 2014Start with Pistachio Guac and all the salsas! We never knew we’d be obsessed with a dish like Sliced Mango, or Squid, or Lamb Belly Barbacao! Satisfy your sweet tooth with 5-course dessert tasting!
Alexandra LeiteJunho 14, 2015Whatever Alex Stupak did, worked! There is quite a difference between this new restaurant and the old Empellon. Start with, choose a tartare, go to tacos but please have one of the fulfilling entrees.
Time Out New YorkSetembro 5, 2014Order the Mexican sponge cake— it arrives deconstructed, the moist cubes of vanilla cake surrounded by bitter orange marmalade, crumbled brown butter streusel and café con leche ice cream. Leia mais- Time Out New YorkAbril 11, 2013Eat this: Guacamole with pistachios, queso fundido with lobster, roasted carrots with mole, masa crisps with shrimp and sea urchin mousse, squid and potatoes with black mole, vanilla marquesote Leia mais
Justin WelshFevereiro 19, 2014A fabulous reataurant. Great service, great food. Would recommend the roast carrots, the pastrami tacos and the arroz con leche desert. Simply delicious food.
DinaJulho 28, 2014Revelatory take on high-end Mexican food (not expensive though). Subtle, deep flavors with great ingredients. Lamb tartare is incredible, so is the octopus with chocolate mole. Trendy, dark space.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantAgosto 10, 2013I recommend the mango salad, the lobster fundido and the kale fundido with soft shell tacos. Not sure if this would become a "regular go-to" spot for me but if in the neighborhood I would drop in.
Serious EatsMarço 6, 2013Alex Stupak plays off Mexican flavors for an exciting, out-of-the-box menu that's totally his own. Don't miss Mat Resler's mezcal and tequila cocktails, either.
Jeana CostaAbril 14, 2013Amazing food. Recommend getting many plates and sharing (size is right for that). Try: Guac, Roasted Carrots, Mango + Crab, Lobster Queso, Kale Taco, Scallop Taco. All so tasty!
Chefs FeedOutubro 2, 2015"Many people have a misunderstanding of raw mushrooms, and yet this dish captures a unique complexity of earthiness and is worth getting again and again." Chef Colt Taylor Leia mais
The Corcoran GroupAgosto 30, 2013Do yourself a favor and order the pistachio guac, the melted tetilla cheese with lobster, and the pastrami tacos. You'll definitely leave happy!
refinery29Agosto 3, 2014There's a Pistachio Guac unlike any other. Dunk one of the thin masa crips in the creamy, nutty mixture, and you've got the ultimate bar snack. Leia mais
Rachel LMaio 14, 2017The guacamole was fantastic. We also loved the queso and some tacos. Can't go wrong with anything
Astrid BarrerasJunho 29, 2014The fish tacos are to die for! Also, the michelada is one of the best I've tried. So refreshing on hot summer day!
The Wall Street JournalMaio 2, 2012Chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican hangover cure that is typically made from leftovers, eggs and salsa-soaked fried corn-tortilla strips, is dressed up here with meaty maitake mushrooms. Leia mais
My life was just changed by a $9 pastrami taco. Also beet juice mescal cocktail. And you might as well try pistachio guac like everyone says.
Darren LachtmanSetembro 29, 2012As everyone has said, the lobster queso is a must and if you have more than 5 people, get 2. Guacamole is great. Def do the 7 salsa sampler and do the flat iron steak.
Nishanth ChariNovembro 16, 2014Lamb belly is incredible as is the guac and salsas (Arbol and tomatillo especially but all 7 are good). Do not get the lobster queso - waste of money and calories. Flan is very different...
Diane BakerJaneiro 26, 2014Selection of 7 salsas is great! The masa crisps blow away corn chips. The carnitas tacos are great as well
- Lindsay COutubro 15, 2015Try the tacos - I reco the shrimp, fish or chicken. And, don't forget about the guacamole and salsa sampler to start! It's a must!
Mark EgermanJaneiro 12, 2014I don't care if you hate Brussel Sprouts, the Brussel Sprouts taco is one of the most incredible dishes in NYC. Pay with Cover and walk out happy.
Branzino BandiniJunho 13, 2012Masa (ground cornmeal) from Tortilleria Nixtamal replaces most of the traditional flour. Maple syrup—smoked on-site—and ancho-spiked mole-poblano butter lend savory, spicy richness to the dish. $13.
Debora OlssonAgosto 19, 2013Do not miss out on the delicious Pistachio Guacamole, it is to die for! The spicy cucumber margarita is a must as well!
Food & WineAbril 3, 2013Despite the critical acclaim he received for his modernist desserts at some of the country’s top restaurants, chef Alex Stupak has traded in his pastry tools to make extraordinary tacos. Leia mais- Use your knife to scrape every last caramelized bit of cheese from the cast iron pan for the Melted Tetilla Cheese with Lobster, Tomate Frito, and Kol (Yucatan stylewhite sauce).
Adam MAgosto 1, 2013Possibly the best guac I've ever had. . Lana is a kickass bartender. Oh - and their tequila!! What a selection. New neighborhood fave.
Sabrina MajeedAgosto 13, 2015Service was really good. Pistachio guac, and their spin on chilaquiles were both really good!
Amanda VinciFevereiro 23, 2016Really interesting take on Mexican food... the pistachio guac and the chips are the best
Porig SalbaJunho 25, 2012Guac and masa chips and lobster with cheese dish were excellent. Tapas style so fun to try a bunch of flavors. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Leia mais
Maria isabel Zamora olveraJunho 16, 2013Excelent brunch, this is exactly what I want for my last dinner, chef Matt Conroy is awesome, best mexican food in NY
Lobster queso is pretty amazing & the space is gorgeous & not unbearably noisy. On nearly all other fronts, however, the wv location is far superior..not to mention much more wallet friendly.
Erika GrijalvaOutubro 15, 2014At first I thought the pistachio guacamole was a poser, but it is such a great combination! Dont miss it.
Jorge UrrutiaMaio 17, 2015Spicy cucumber margarita, guac with 7 sauces and carnitas para dos. Bring back the lobster queso!
Sofia FelixFevereiro 12, 2012The Queso Fundido (melted cheese) with lobster and flour tortillas is to die for. Take it from a Mexicana wo likes to eat well.
Nikhita MahtaniJaneiro 30, 2016Service isn't great but the food is yummy! I like the guac with the seven salsas, the poached egg and the fried rice.
Melissa RogersAgosto 5, 2012Best guacamole in NYC? Try: pistachio guac, melted tetilla cheese with lobster, pastrami or fish tempura tacos.
Magical Mexican like you've never had before. #sensational #ingenious #amazing #magical -foodie magician

"Beautiful space and amazing herbaceous cocktails - just follow the menu and ask the tender for guidance. Only problem: hard to reproduce at your neighborhood bar."
