There is no spot better to sit down and watch Brooklyn get covered by snow✨ This place is simply magical the atmosphere is equally magical inside too. Nachos are the best! I had chicken quesadillas but should’ve gone with vegetarian option. Very big portions. Pineapple margarita was delicious! Fresh made churros also pretty good. Waiter is polite and professional.
Bar sits available with really nice bar view. Definitely recommend for date night or solo outings

Arrived at 8pm, the waiter took our order at 830pm, we received food at 915pm on a lazy Wednesday evening with 4-5 couples seated in the restaurant. Wait staff was completely negligent. Couldn’t be bothered to do much. Food was bland, under seasoned and far from the quintessential flavors you come to expect from a Mexican restaurant, even if they’re going for a more modern take the flavors are just non existent. Add to this No salsa, no hot sauce, nothing of that nature to be found at a Mexican restaurant, just not good IMHO.
And I hate giving less than 5 star reviews, but you add the bad service on top of that and you just have a disappointing night out.

Neighborhood gem! The sizzling fajitas were very fresh and tasty with a great portion size. We came here for brunch with my toddler and they were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to coming back in the warmer months

I really wanted to like this place, unfortunately found my dinner experience disappointing.
Service:
The service was incredibly slow and inattentive. They took forever to take our order and then brought out our entrees but forgot our drinks.
Food & drinks:
My $21 chicken quesadilla was a bit bland but greasy. My Paloma was good!
Atmosphere:
Tables were quite close together so it was hard to hear the person I was having dinner with. My clothes ended up smelling like food long after I left as well.
Overall, found it to be too expensive for what it was, especially for the area. $50 can get me a better experience elsewhere.

Amazing food! Good quality ingredients and fantastic combinations. Truly an exceptional experience. Featuring the guacamole + chips, and the watermelon margarita on the rocks. Honestly, everything we have tried here has been incredible. Definitely worth checking out!!

This place had an amazing vibe with its outdoor seating but unfortunately its food and service were pretty bad. The servers were nice, but the service itself was disorganized and slow. We had to wait 20+ minutes for our guac and chips to arrive. The rest of the service was just as slow. We had 2 different servers serving our table, and maybe there was some miscommunication between them. The food itself was disappointing as well. The pork in the al pastor tacos were dry, and the churros were likely fried with oil that was not hot enough, so they were greasy throughout.

I’ve loved Cena for years but more recently it’s not as good. Went to breakfast there twice in last 2-3 months and the coffee they served was Instant Coffee! And tasted like it. I asked and they confirmed it was instant coffee said their machine is broken. Charging $5 for instant coffee? No – you just can’t do that.

Nice but expensive authentic Mexican fare with incredibly slow and strange service. They brought us the wrong food both times we went. Expect long wait times for drinks and food and for any attention at all. The steak in the tacos is like rubber and the mole is terrible but the rest of the food is very good.

Bit pricy for Mexican. Not a fancy place but the price tags are pretty fancy. Food is average, portion is little. I live nearby so I was hoping to find my go to place.

First of all, the food was not bad, but the service was atrocious. We ordered two sodas and an appetizer and 20 minutes later the gal asked if we had ordered the appetizer… we were the only party in the restaurant so who else ordered the appetizer and she never even brought our drinks. Four people for breakfast with no alcohol was $130 before tip. Like I said, the food was fine, not spectacular, but you could do better for half the price somewhere else. And the female server definitely needs to find a new profession where personality is not a requirement.
