    a plate of food
    Aj L.

    This hidden gem in the BX The first Hookha is free for the group with a purchase of food. We order a few appetizers from the happy hour menu since we just came from eating at another spot. There was no live dj, just a playlist playing mostly Spanish( music (the speakers were coming in and out) The food was good, and the vibes was a overall good The food and drinks are also supper affordable

    GRILLED CHICKEN BURGER it was good to okay. I'd rate 3.5 out of 5.

    Because this venue is in the Bronx, we have to start this review off as a pure New Yorker.... So, aight boom... I was craving some new scenery along with good eats to cap off a cool run around day. So, my family and I hit a random search and voted to come here. The interior had almost a club look and feel. It was spacious. The music was able to blare and boom without any issues as it was aligned with sound proofing. That aside, the service was spot on. Each time you looked around, it was a server making sure that our needs were met. No complaints except get there just early enough to enjoy the happy hour and to find parking. As that area is quite like a maze. Other than that, make your way over and enjoy the vibes.

    This experience wasn't all bad so i did want to give it a reasonable rating. Parking was cool the bouncer was sweet so nice he is 5 star, we sat down it was a Saturday so it was busy the music was great this is the part everything went Bad. We first placed a order for Hookah i guess he was busy relaxing by the dj both and never came back 20 min later we had to look for him as if we worked in the establishment That's How good the music was. The waitress was rude she hate her job and if she didn't she need a new restaurant. She was not friendly she didn't say hello , she was very bothered but we ordered food because the wait after u got Seated was 17 min . i got A salad and empanadas both was great and we got drinks. I ordered a to go plate if i wasn't so far i would have went Back and got my money back. This salmon had no seasoning the mash was dry one of the worst meals i ever had for 31 dollars. I can tell the cook took no pride in my plate. For drinks and hookah i would go back for food i would eat at home.

    Came here for a random girls night and it was pretty chill, music popping. Drinks are fire. Hookah was OK. I feel like it could be better but that's a different story. I didn't try the food but next time that I go, I will. Word of advice to the business , please make your hookah last long. I felt like my friends and I kept paying for refills and it did no justice. Other than that, I recommend this Lowkey spot if you're ever in the Bronx area.

    The waitress we had was super nice and made sure we were okay the entire night I loved the food and the vibe. The margaritas were good too. Will definitely be going back.

    Three words... "Under The Sea"... Wow, what an amazing Sushi Dish. Crab, Shrimp, Salmon and Maduros Sushi roll. 3 different Sauces, nothing else. Simple, delicious and that's all that Matters. Fried Calamari, to die for. Will come back for more.

    This spot is cool. Went with my Girls yesterday. The hookah is fresh, outdoor seating and the restroom was clean. The service was good. Only suggestion would be to make the music a little more diverse. The crowd that is spending money has to be able to enjoy the music too. Other than that it's lit and I would go back. The prices are great, the punches are delicious and worth your $. I didn't eat anything but the wings and they were just some regular mild wings. I'll share some pics. You can do bottle service too the prices are nice. We will be back...

The crispy octopus easily rivals anything I've had in Manhattan, super tender with just the right crisp. The cassava hash browns were so good I was almost annoyed by how simple they were. Paired with a rich, meaty sauce and a fresh fennel crunch, the whole dish was incredibly balanced. The wings were the most straightforward item on the menu (in the best way), lightly spiced, slightly sweet, and great for picky eaters. Someone needs to give the bartenders a raise. I ordered three drinks just to test consistency--every single one was balanced, spirit-forward, and not overly sweet. The presentation was different on each one and felt intentional without being gimmicky. I've seen some of the lower Yelp ratings and they mostly call out price, but this is very much a you get what you pay for situation. The quality of the food, the portion sizes (especially for this level of execution), and the overall intentionality behind the menu justify it in my opinion. Service was excellent. They squeezed me in last minute, and my waiter, Dionicio, handled my coconut allergy (not easy at a Dominican spot) with real care and ease. The space itself is worth mentioning - moody, mushroom/mossy interiors. Super cute, very well thought out, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

As a corn lover, the flavor note of Esquites just reminded me of elotes that you get from a street vendor in Mexico. The Tlayuda was huge! We added carne asada as our topping, and it turned into an huge entree that's shareable between two people. We finished our meal with the most flavor-intense dish - duck confit enmoladas. Despite not being a crazy mole fan, the mole sauce that was drizzled all over the enmoladas had a perfect balance of rich notes with a bit of bittersweet chocolate undertone. The ambiance was great with both indoor and outdoor seating. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, and the restaurant made it so special for us by providing a menu printed with "happy anniversary" with a note card and glasses of sparkling wine! This is a gem that's not to be missed!!!

By then the hostess had already seated us and I was immersed in the excellent service and the delicious aromas from the open kitchen. My husband lived in Mexico City for a time and he said this was some of the best Mexican food he'd had. The corn vermouth was delicious and I'd never heard of sotol so tried it in a paloma, which was great. Definitely will go back again, but only once my wallet has recovered.

    To start I understand it's a new restaurant so i took that in mind when going there. We went at 3pm…read moreon a Friday afternoon. service was pleasant and friendly. They had the option to choose fresh fish sitting in the ice or cooked food from the kitchen. I opted for grilled branzino, shrimp and veggies. My family ordered the fried options. All cutlery and plating are plastic just fyi so it's a casual place. Also relatively loud Spanish music playing the entire time. not an issue but I did have to ask her to lower the volume because it was only 5 pple in the entire restaurant and I couldn't hear our convo at the table over the music. The timing of when the food came out was interesting so fried food first. I was waiting for my grilled food for another 10 mins and the rest of the dishes came out separately within 5-10 mins of each other. The fried food was not fresh but frozen. When questioned, the waitress said everything was fresh we can tell it was not. To preface we eat seafood often so we can absolutely tell. It would've been fine but the shrimp itself was tasteless, soggy/moist under the batter and the batter was falling off because of it. I would dare say the shrimp was pre cooked and frozen before it was fried. No flavor and chewy. My mom and grandma said the fish was okay it had a very fish stick look to it but no real complaints about the fried fish. (Whiting and catfish) My grilled food was just okay. The vegetables were solid I ate that with no issues, onions, peppers and eggplant. The branzino was a good texture asked for it to be butterflied but no real flavor. I had to add salt and pepper for taste. The shrimp was also okay but nothing to write home about. I wasn't super impressed but it was okay. Not sure if I would come back until I hear there's some growth culinary wise.

    Nice place on really busy street. Friendly service. Pick your seafood and it'll be cooked anyway…read moreyou want it. So, we had fried calamari, mussels in wine, (cod) fish and chips, grilled salmon and potatoes. Nothing was disappointing and definitely filling. Since it's only open a month, it still needs to get some kinks out, but the concept is well worth checking out. No doubt I'll be back.

We stood there confused, eventually trying to find a table ourselves. Since no one was assisting us and there were no open tables available, we sat at the bar. My friend continued waiting and trying to secure a table, but there was no communication from staff. To make matters worse, another group arrived after us and was seated before us. They mentioned they had been there before, and it felt like they were given priority while we were overlooked, despite waiting longer. Service at the bar was equally frustrating. The bartender was inattentive and focused only on certain sections. It took about 10 to 15 minutes just to get a simple glass of wine. We had to repeat our orders multiple times, which should have been a red flag.The appetizer, Korean wings, arrived quickly and was probably the only positive part of the evening. After that, everything went downhill. Our entrees took an extremely long time to arrive. It felt like nearly two hours. When the food finally came out, one of my friends did not receive her meal at all because the bartender forgot to put in her order. This was especially frustrating since we had repeated the order several times. When her dish, the pad Thai, finally arrived about 30 minutes later, it was mediocre at best and slightly cold. The steaks ordered by two of us were dry and under-seasoned. The vegetables were overcooked and bland. Overall, the food quality did not justify the long wait or the price. The bathrooms were another major issue. There was toilet paper on the floor and even period blood visible on the ground. It was unsanitary and honestly shocking. Cleanliness is the bare minimum for any establishment. The final bill came to $245, including an automatic $34 gratuity at the bar. Considering the service we received, this felt completely undeserved. There was no acknowledgment of the forgotten order and no attempt to make things right. As a final note, be cautious if you're wearing delicate or expensive clothing. The bar counter area has rough edges, and one of my friend's jerseys was snagged while we were sitting there. This was my first time here, and it will absolutely be my last. Between the poor service, mediocre food, lack of cleanliness, and high prices, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.
