    Calamari, wings and mussels
    Ione L.

    I have been here several times for the happy hour specials but had not experienced Taco Tuesday. Wonderful food and service and a great bang for your buck. You can have 3 tacos of your choice and 1 margarita for $20. I went with a coworker and she ordered 3 appetizers which they carefully arranged for her eating enjoyment. I ordered the 3 tacos and margarita and was delighted. They had music in the background that was appropriate for a Mexican restaurant during happy hour and dinner service. Upbeat and not overbearing. We sat at the bar and our bartender was friendly and attentive. He really took care of all our needs. Bathroom was tidy. I will continue to patronize this neighborhood gem...

    Queso

    Dined here on Saturday afternoon and was able to secure outdoor seating. There is an everyday happy hour deal from 12pm-7pm that includes $10 margaritas $5 beers and $10 sangrias with a wide variety of options to choose from! We ordered the hibiscus and cucumber habanero margarita and both were delicious. The cucumber was refreshing which complimented the spiciness from the peppers and the hibiscus was tart and just right. For appetizers we ordered the queso with chorizo. The tortillas were warm and the queso was gooey and filling. For tacos we ordered the fish tacos which were beer battered and super light as well as the steak tacos which were generously filled. Wish the tortillas were doubled up but they were all filled to the brim. Service was also friendly Angel was great and super helpful!. Overall I would definitely stop by to take advantage of the great deals.

    Tamarind margarita and hibiscus margarita

    Ambiance 5/5 - excellent lighting, spacious, comfortable seats Service - 5/5 super friendly waitstaff and bartender Carlos, they clearly know the locals Food 5/5 - we really enjoyed this upscale take on Mexican street food. Absolutely loved the carnitas, served with yummy pickled onions, beans and rice cooked perfectly. My friend got the steak fajita quesadilla and liked it also. The meat is high quality. Highly recommend coming before 4pm for the lunch special. Drinks 5/5 - we got the hibiscus margarita with jalapeño bitters added, the tamarind margarita (sweet and spicy) both were great. We also got the cucumber habanero margarita and we're not a fan but if you like cucumber it might be for you. To me it tastes like a spa treatment. The margaritas are $10 for happy hour so it's a good deal. Ultimately a great place to get happy hour and relax with some friends!

    Passed by here and tagged it on my phone as a place I wanted to visit at some point and just finally made the effort to drop on by. This place was formally the Ellington, but I'm a fan of what it is today! Drinks - We ordered the creamy mango and cucumber & habanero margaritas and they were tasty and will definitely try the other ones next time Food - Ordered guacamole traditional, al pastor and de pescado tacos and they were amazing! The ceviche mixto was also great and refreshing. They have a full on menu that I'm looking forward to trying when I come back here If you're in the UWS area and looking for a good Mexican restaurant with good food and good vibes, this is a place you need to drop by!

    Rose sangria - made my stomach hurt. Too my CV sugar / artificial

    Would return for the suizas. Drinks are strong. Great service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend!

    Wings
    Margaret L.

    Excellent spot! Came here for a late lunch while wandering around the area with my partner. We ordered the three tapa special - spicy Thai wings, chicken quesadilla and the chorizo on naan. All delicious but our favorite was definitely the quesadilla, the chicken was incredibly fresh and good quality. I started with the happy hour red sangria and moved on to a glass of rose, both only $7 at happy hour! My partner had the $5 Coronas. We'll definitely be back!

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

    I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.

If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.

Although I had a reservation, I was instructed to go to the bar. Literally no home at the bar whatsoever. Granted I know Mexican restaurants tend to be super crowded for Cinco de Mayo but I was a party of one. I should have been seated outside at the very least. I had to drink my frozen Patron Margarita standing up until a space at the bar open up after 20-25 minutes. Once seated, my area wasn't properly cleaned. I felt awkward and uncomfortable. I reluctantly ordered fish tacos with mild guacamole but was given spicy guacamole. The fish tacos were a little cold. The service was rushed. I left without ordering another drink or more food. I was over it. This place isn't far from my employer so maybe I'll give it another chance on a random weekday.
