The fish tacos have a lot more going on, with slaw and spicy aioli, but the swordfish ranges from being really fishy and barely breaded, to all breading and …

Michelin guide did not disappoint! Happy hour on a saturday from 4-7pm, perfect for a dinner. Ordered bunch of tacos and food and every bite was amazing from start to finish! Waiters were very good as well.

My husband and I ordered drinks and appetizers. The service was amazing. Prices are ok. The food is good but maybe my expectations were too off, I thought that all their plates would have insects as ingredients. I was kind of disappointed to learn that was not the case. The guacamole was the best I ate in Manhattan so far, but the ants were barely noticeable. The drinks were very good too.

Quite a nice atmosphere, food is good.

I got attracted to the tortillas, orange and kind of fluffy a tiny bit sweet but very tasty.

You have to try the grasshoppers either as appetizer or garnish they taste quite good.

The service is good and staff is friendly.

Oh yeah, they have a good selection of tequila if you’re in the mood.

I will definitely come back to try more dishes.

Came here on a Friday night around 8pm and there were a few open tables for walk ins. The restaurant had a few good options with black ants and grasshoppers. We tried the black ant guacamole and there was an option to have it without the ants. We tried it and couldn’t really feel a difference with the ants being there, but we enjoyed the novelty factor and trying something new. I recommend this place if you are adventurous and want to try something different

Had the Chef Special Menu and the courses were all fresh with different flavors. The final flan made with the black ant topping was sweet and savory, sangria was good, and overall it was an experience. 4/5 for pricing and portions

We went for brunch on a Saturday and the pace was super crowded. Since it was a very hot day, everyone was sitting indoors, and it was a bit stuffy. But the food was decent. I really liked my fish tacos.
My friend thought the chilaquiles lacked in flavor.
The mimosas were strong!

Checked this place out for brunch and it was fantastic! Everything on the menu sounds delicious so we’ll definitely go back. I can easily recommend the steak and eggs or the burger. The drinks are made well too! The mimosa was made with pulpy orange juice which made it taste fresh and refreshing.

This is some pretty great Mexican with several unique twists. Nice vibe and atmosphere, and good drinks and cocktails. And not so inventive and precious it doesn’t fill you up: it does, with generous portions and solid, expected flavors that come with a singular flair. And some exotic choices too if you’re feeling up for it.

Let me start off with I love their music play list haha as a latin dancer, I just wanted to get up and dance at the restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy. We ordered every thing from the happy hour menu. They came out very good. Very refreshing. Also the drinks are tropical. I loved my mango margarita. The tacos are yummy not too greasy. The size and portion are good and price is reasonable. Only disappointment was not able to see the grasshopper in the grasshopper taco. I’m not sure if they chopped up the grasshoppers or what, but I would really want to see the whole grasshopper and be able to taste it lol

We came as a group on Saturday and had the best experience for a bottomless brunch. The food was delicious and the menu offered something for everyone. The bottomless deal is either mimosas or margaritas and our glasses were never empty. The servers were incredible. I would 100% recommend!
