Service was absolutely abysmal. We saw our server twice. Had to ask for napkins. Had to ask a different server nearby for chips and salsa. No one checked on us to see if we needed anything. No water refills. Couldn’t seem to get the check when we were ready to leave. Overall, not a good experience at all. Food was good and the setting in TS is nice, but I would not recommend this restaurant due to the very poor service. Go elsewhere for tacos.

Food was ok. Nothing special. Prices were as expected for Times Square. Fire alarm went off and nobody left. Was told the fajitas set off the alarm. Looked like it happens often given the reaction of the staff.

This was the WORST dining experience I have EVER had. Admittedly it must have been one of the busiest Christmas Week nights in Times Square- but the restaurant should have not opened or limited reservations. Frankly, given the worst front of the house service I have ever seen, I am seriously concerned about the food quality and the cleanliness in the back of the house. Where do we begin- first signs-not enough menus, not enough silverware, asked us for our order, ran to get water. Delays of 30 minutes between each check, servers didn’t check on tables- people were walking out and then a plate of Fajitas set the fire alarms off and our ears were likely damaged. Do NOT go to max capacity if you do not have the staff. Frankly everyone in the restaurant should have had their meals comped. The food was terrible and they were out of most of the sides-no rice, here’s double beans. The owners should be ashamed and on site during one of the busiest times of the year. DO not go H

Had a reservation and was sat upon arrival. Waited over 20 minutes at the table and no server came to us. The restaurant was not even busy and only took reservations. The table next to us also had the same issue. We finally stopped someone and asked for a server and she said she was not our server but she would find someone. Finally someone came and we put our drink and food order in at the same time. Server was still jot very tentative as we had to get their attention for drink refills too. Food and drinks were good though.

The food was very tasty and plated nicely. The service was not very good - disinterested, never refilled water, didn't clear the table of empty bottles or plates when delivered main courses so it was very crowded.

Great Food. All of our drinks tasted off. Tables were dirty and sticky, though we appreciated our waitress cleaning the table more. Bathrooms were filthy and our attendant in the men’s bathroom was on his phone the whole time, makes sense why it was dirty.

Horrible service and horrible hostesses. I checked in they didnt check me in— so I had to write OpenTable because they said I didn’t show up— I did.. I asked the waitress if the beans were refried— that’s all and the waitress was like they are made out of pork so I don’t know if you can eat it.. I was like umm I asked if they were refried.. she was like yeah but they are pork. I told her I’m Christian so it didn’t matter to me. If it mattered I would have told her or asked her if pork was involved. She was like yeah but you know like I know your— I stopped her right there and was like I’m Mexican/ Italian— so… it was a beautiful restaurant not excellent service. Food was ok.
