I ordered the cabrito tacos hoping for something akin to the East LA street tacos I used to get. The ones I got were way too salty. The tenderness and texture were fine, just way too salty. Also, they only supplied 3 small corn tortillas for a mini skillet of meat (capable of making 6 full tacos; also aren't you supposed to double-up on tortillas for soft tacos?) All of the sides (corn, chili, beans, rice) and my date's enchiliadas were way too salty. Worse yet, I got to see my cabrito tacos + sides come out in the toilet about 8 hours after our lunch. Maybe old goat meat from the night before? Maybe just a bad salad (it looked very wilted; I should've eaten it). On the upside, service was good and attentive. They didn't talk down to 2 casually dressed, poor-looking students. Decor was kinda crazy. See photos/ Value? Not quite the value of East LA taco trucks under the freeway , but not bad for NY. Overall: be careful, I got bad diarrhea from the super-salty cabrito tacos.

I took my wife here back when she was not my wife. The overall feel of the place is very elegant, however there is an undertone of a corny family place like a Fridays or Ruby Tuesday. We were promptly seated which was good, except the hostess gave us the impression that we were being squeezed in and would be hurried along at any minute. Their guacamole is indeed very good, and the Filet in Tequila Mushroom sauce was excellent considering we were not in a steakhouse. We did feel kind of hurried along, and overall it was a good experience. I would go back.

If you want to go with your sorority sisters for some pricey margaritas after work, this is the place for you. If you prefer well-seasoned dishes that make the most of their ingredients, and don't love the din of a tourist trap, save your pesos. The gauc was great, the service as well, but the crab in the enchilada was overwhelmed by a sour/spicy tomatillo sauce; the lamb chops were boring and seemed to have the texture of something frozed, then fried. Distracting decor, bad acoustics and an uninspired chocolate souffle made the final cost of this place unjustified. Go uptown, or go to Chipotle across the street.

Me and 6 of my friends went to this resturant for restuarant week. Half of us ordered off of the pre-fix menu, while other ordered off the regular menu. My entree was GREAT!! but the appertizer and dessert wasnt all that great. The decor is so nice and pretty, very romantic.
