I found this place about a month ago and I have been back 4 times since and anytime anyone ask me "Where do you think we should go eat?" I always recommend this place! The food is very authentic, the servers are very friendly and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend!

Its actually been several weeks since my coworkers and I visited Centrico, but the memory remains positive - especially of the guacamole. The others also enjoyed their margaritas, but I chose poorly with the chile beer. My chicken mole dish was much more than expected, but quite tasty to the point I felt obliged to finish it off and left Centrico overstuffed. The service was adequate even with a slow night. Ill probably give it another shot sometime when Im hankering for some more guac...

We went with a large group and essentially no one managed to eat anything. Appetizers came at the same time as the main dishes, some of them cold; not that it mattered. An empanada is NOT the size of a rugelach and it is supposed to have filling, not just flavored crusting. My meat had the tenderness of a basketball. Not to mention that we ordered a rioja blanco and it turned out to be a red. Glorious.

I brought a group of 13 friends, many visiting NYC from DC, to Centrico to kick off a bachelorette evening. Not only was the food delicious - the stuffed plantains, melted cheese with chorizo and potato, the short ribs, fish envuelto in a banana leaf, and the chocolate cake with corn ice cream - but the hospitality we were shown was excellent. The staff did everything possible to ensure we had a fantastic dinner and were friendly, helpful and responsive. We set up a prix fixe menu and ordered Chef Sanchez's cookbook in advance, and he took the time to sign the book and, during dinner, came out of the kitchen to say hi to the bride-to-be. Everybody was completely impressed by the food, service and genuine warmth we were shown, especially being such a large group. I will definitely be back!

Aaron Sanchez is on to something here, without doubt! A massive space buzzing with beautiful people...great selection of wines and drinks. Started with the Plantanos Rellenos-a smoky delight and one of my new favorite Mexican appetizers. Tacos de Pescado also a delight-unlike any others in NYC. The Camarones Mojo de Ajo-succulent shrimp served in terra cotta bowl, perfectly spiced. Finished it off with the Molten Mexican Chocolate Cake-need I say more? Waitstaff very attentive. Reservations a must-the place was excitedly crowded the night I visited.
