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.

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.

Ordered the aguachile and chicken mole. Both excellent. Not the cheapest meal but worth it for the flavor. Highly recommend the Mole! Genuine Mexican flavor, I’m Mexican!

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

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.

The atmosphere was all we paid for. It had very basic vegetarian options and overpriced too.
