Best Tex-mex in NYC
Asked for Wyatt he is an awesome waiter.
Chips and salsa are fantastic
Margaritas are the very best in my opinion

The food and service were great! During a very busy Saturday night with reservation, we had to wait 10 minutes for our
table. It was noisy due to a large party. Food was great!
The maître d was very pleasant, apologized and gave us a complementary appetizer. She has great business skills.
Will definitely recommend this place.

This was my first visit and I loved it. The food was delicious I ordered and a sizzling skillet and it was one of the best I’ve tasted. I will say I feel like we were rushed a little. The sever did take the plates a little early but he might’ve been new. But I will definitely be returning the food and drinks were definitely worth the price. The pricing is not bad at all to be honest. And to top it up the bartender gave us a free drink. Excellent service. Great food all in all a great experience

This place is kid, friendly, and wallet friendly. The frozen margaritas are to die for. The service here is always on point.

Patty was an absolute queen and took such great care of our family during a 75th birthday celebration. Our food was delicious and the fajitas gave me leftovers for days! Such a fun spot and energetic atmosphere, 5/5 will absolutely be back!
