Food was great. Drinks were good. Service started off very well but quickly trailed off a few minutes after we sat down. The first round of drinks came very quickly - within a few minutes. But....then we waited and waited. Nobody came back to take our order, another round of drinks, fill up water, etc. 35 minutes after sitting down and about 10 minutes after I'd finished my drink, we had to wave the waiter over to order our mains. We ordered and then when food came, wanted drinks 5 minutes before happy hour ended. However, the waiter told us it was too late...we looked at the time but he just walked away. We didn't see the waiter again until we got up to pay because the waiter was MIA. We were there for more than 1.5 hours and it was very quiet. There were about 3 or 4 other tables. We got no water refills the entire time and nobody checked on us after the food arrived. The place is great, the food is fantastic, the staff is friendly - when they remember you exist. They started off as 5 stars because the service was so good to begin with. Sadly it didn't continue. Great food but don't think I'll be back any time soon.

Stopped in to get away from the weekend crowds and found a great place to have a meal and drinks. A lot of restaurants tend to seat diners in the same area but this place actually kept the different parties as far apart as possible. They let us enjoy our drinks and meal and didn’t rush us out of there. It was wonderful way to decompress. Food was delicious and the staff was attentive.

Attended a dance social here alone so I was nervous , the staff are very welcoming. The crowd was extremely friendly, there was a cover of $10 after 7pm . I definitely enjoyed the class , great way to meet new people and learn new Dance skills .

The food and drinks were pretty good overall! I got the burritos, which were yummy! Not the best I’ve ever get had but pretty good. I also got the strawberry margarita which was frozen plain margarita mix with strawberry drink mix surrounding it. Not exactly what I had in mind but still good. My table got the guacamole to share and the chicken taquitos, which were probably the best parts. Service started out great but then got very slow. We waited at least half an hour for our waiter to come back to get our entree order and even then we had to flag him down. The restaurant was not busy whatsoever—there were only three tables seated when we wanted to order our entrees. Even after flagging him down, our waiter barely came to check on us. Finally, the restaurant was doing free professional pictures that they’d put on a postcard. That’s fine and fun, but the photographer kept asking to take so many different pictures that it was disruptive. Group shots, group shots in different poses, individuals, standing up group shots—it was really just too much for a dinner experience.

The food was excellent! Steak was cooked to perfection (medium) in my enchilada & was abundant. The sides were great and the street corn was delicious. Drinks were good, a little on the stronger side. Staff was very friendly & helpful.

Been going here for years even before Google and Yelp reviews. This time it was after a Broadway show and the other Mexican place we were eyeing was closed for a private event. I remembered tried and true Iguana and their awesome frozen margs. We had some yummy dishes as well and the staff are very friendly. All in all we left satisfied and slightly buzzed, so no complaints here.

A most pleasant Tex-Mex place around the corner from the Ed Sullivan theatre. Great happy hour. Amazing margaritas. Mexican beer on tap. Good a/c.

Call them to make your reservation first. Good service for a Friday night. A lot of empty tables on this Friday night but a nice atmosphere. The food was good. We started with Chips and Salsa which was $8. I ordered the Chicken fajita which was good. My son had the chicken quesadilla and the portions were small. Good service and a nice atmosphere. $120 for 3 of us to eat. Nice place to visit at least once.
