Such a cozy and cool spot with an amazing vibe! The atmosphere feels intimate and stylish — perfect for a fun night out.
The food is super delicious, though definitely on the spicy side (which we loved!). Every dish was packed with flavor. The melted cheese sandwich is absolutely incredible — honestly worth coming back just for that alone.
The cocktails are amazingly crafted and so delicious. One of the best vodka sodas I’ve had, and the mushroom margarita was unique and surprisingly delicious — a must-try!
Overall, a fantastic place with great energy, flavorful food, and outstanding drinks. Definitely coming back!

I loved every cocktail I tried. Super well balanced, nothing was overly sweet. Service team were all amazing. I went in on a thursday a little before 5pm (it was happy hour). I was able to walk in and grab a chair at the bar. By 530-6 the place was absolutely packed. If you cant get there before the aftet work rush, id recommend reservations.

Came to Superbueno for a light dinner and a couple of cocktails, and this place absolutely lives up to its name. Everything I had was super bueno. Great atmosphere and a really fun, well-curated list of inventive Mexican-influenced cocktails and bites.
I started with the roasted corn sour, which was exceptional. Light and airy, with unique flavors that were really well balanced. Later on I had the mole Negroni, which was also very good and a nice twist on the classic. For food, I ordered the guac, which was well executed, especially the house-made chips that were perfectly crispy. I also had the carne asada tacos, which were flavorful and hit the spot. A great place for drinks and a few bites. I’ll definitely be back.

We stopped by Superbueno for an easy afternoon drink, and it turned out to be one of those surprisingly relaxing moments in the city. The warm yellow light coming through the windows made the whole bar feel soft and cinematic, and it instantly slowed everything down.
We tried four cocktails, each very different but all quite approachable:
• Roasted Corn Sour – Smooth, creamy on the surface, but finishes clean. It doesn’t feel heavy at all and the flavor gets better the more you drink it.
• Mushroom Margarita – A gentle mushroom aroma that sounds unusual but works beautifully. Balanced, not too sour, not too earthy.
• Green Mango Martini – Light, refreshing, and fragrant. Sweet in a clean way, not syrupy or artificial. Easy to sip and very enjoyable.
• Mole Negroni – Softer and rounder than a classic Negroni, with less sweetness and a subtle bitterness. Perfect for people who usually can’t handle strong, heavy Negronis.
None of the drinks tasted overly strong, but they were smooth enough that we were already a bit buzzed after two glasses. The portions are noticeably larger than many NYC bars, which makes the experience feel more relaxed and less rushed.
The bartender was focused and friendly, and the whole atmosphere felt comfortable—no long lines, no pressure, just a good place to slow down for a while.
If you like thoughtful, layered cocktails and a calm afternoon vibe, this spot is worth checking out

We had a great experience at Super Bueno, and a big part of it was thanks to our server (I don’t remember her name).
Food was delicious and drinks unforgettable haha.
Breakfast margarita and el cafecito 10/10.

The vibe was really nice and the cocktails were pretty good. The food was average IMO, where we tried the ceviche, birria grilled cheese and the yellow tail tuna crudo.
For drinks we tried the green mango martini, the roasted corn sour, mole negroni and Vodka y soda. The vodka y soda is a must have I would say.

Superbueno is the kind of spot that turns “just one drink” into a full evening. The cocktails are playful and dangerously easy to love, inventive and unique but not pretentious… and the botanas are perfect co-stars, not an afterthought.
Nacho was incredible. We switched into Spanish when he caught that I am also Hispanic, the warmth and care he showed made the whole experience feel personal. Later realizing he’s a founding partner made it even better. Hospitality at its finest.
The vibe is lively and fun, though a touch loud if you’re planning a heart-to-heart; this is more “lean in and laugh” than “whisper over martinis.” But between the inventive cocktails, spot-on bites, and stellar hospitality, Superbueno delivers exactly what you want from a night out: delicious chaos, excellent flavors, and the strong possibility you’ll be back before the week is over.

Cool bar! We walked in Thursday 4:30pm in December and got seats immediately at the bar without a reservation. Bar overall cool Latin vibe. Service was friendly. Cocktails were great. A lot seemed to be pre-batched. Birria taco was delicious.

Superbueno is one of those places that actually lives up to the hype. It is a Mexican American cocktail bar in the East Village, currently ranked No. 2 on North America’s 50 Best Bars list and named Best Bar in the Northeast, plus the highest ranked New York bar on the global World’s 50 Best Bars list. You feel that as soon as you walk in, the room is glowing, the music is on point, and everyone behind the bar looks like they genuinely want you to have a great night.
I ordered the Green Mango Martini and my husband went with the Vodka y Soda. The martini is very much a “serious cocktail person” drink, built with blanco tequila, mango distillate, sauternes, green mango, honey, and chili oil. Beautifully made, spirit forward, and clever, it just confirmed that tequila with a sweet wine twist is not my personal thing. The true star for me was the Vodka y Soda, which is not basic at all, it is vodka with clarified guava soda, pasilla chile, a touch of falernum, and a guava salt rim. I ended up finishing most of my husband’s and it might honestly be one of the best cocktails I have ever had, bright, tropical, a little spicy, and ridiculously easy to drink.
The vibe is festive without feeling chaotic, cumbia and Latin rhythms in the background, a fun crowd, and service that is sharp, warm, and very on top of things. Our server walked us through the menu in detail and never made us feel rushed, even though the bar was packed. This is absolutely a “book ahead on Resy” situation, especially in the evening, because it fills up fast and it has become a destination for cocktail people from all over. Easy five stars from me, and I would come back just to have that Vodka y Soda again.
