Arriving rather jet-lagged in NYC we were wanting a quiet and early meal (5:45pm) with…read moreLolita ticking many of our boxes. The front of house "girls" said a table would be available 1-2 hours but a seat at the upstairs bar was immediately available...tired and hungry we agreed. The kicker was: the upstairs tables were *completely unoccupied* and remained so for the hour or so it took to serve us a couple of drinks and eat a meal while seated at the bar. While the food and bar service was great, we expressed out disappointment of not being allowed to sit at a table in the *entirely vacant* upper level (BTW, it was wonderfully quiet up there, compared to downstairs). Excuses ranged from "short staffed" (despite three young women at front of house being deep in conversation with themselves) to "no server upstairs" , both clearly BS as someone clearly served us, but they were apparently "runners" not "servers". WTF? Seriously?! Heaven forbid two people sit at a table in an otherwise totally empty upper level. OK, I'm still tired and cranky, but suggest whoever owns this gem on 45th St give their management some Faulty Towers management training: "Manuel, let me explain something to you...." Food: excellent. Prices. Very reasonable. Bar staff: wonderful: Management/front of house: rather clueless

The decoration of this restaurant is gorgeous. It's so colorful and everywhere you looked was a photo opportunity. We ordered from the lunch special which was the way to go. There was a variety of plates to choose from. For starters, we got guacamole and esquites. Both really good. Once it got to our mains, it took a while and considering we were the only ones in the restaurant it was a long wait. For the mains, we both got chicken flautas which came with a side of rice and beans. The flautas were crispy and crunchy. The rice had big chunks of carrots which I didn't like but my friend enjoyed. The beans were also very delicious. I loved the aesthetics of the restaurant and def will be coming back to choose from their main menu. Everything looked delicious!!

It was a really busy night so food took around 30 minutes to come out, but after asking if they could expedite it since we had a show to catch, they brought the food out within 5 minutes. We inhaled our tacos. The beef and shrimp tacos were divine! Definitely worth the trip back. My daughter even asked if we could return since liked the food. Beautifully decorated, felt nice for a Mexican restaurant. Highly recommend if you're in the area, but just plan a solid hour and a half for dinner on busy nights like Tuesday when they have their taco special and happy hour at the same time.

The nachos were not your typical plate, but my wife was thru were delicious, you just have to "deconstruct" the presentation. The wings were so much better than I thought.

I ordered the red sangria, guacamole, taquitos, and cornbread. While the sangria came right away, it took twenty-five minutes to get my food. I watched others at the bar receive their food before me even though I had ordered before them. When the food finally arrived, it was a mixed bag. The guacamole wasn't as chunky as I was expecting and it had no spice at all even though I had asked for spicy guacamole. The taquitos were tasty. The cornbread was sweet and buttery, but the chewy overbaked texture was offputting. The saving grace was the sangria. It was refreshing and not too sweet.

Nothing special about it at all, it's like they forgot how to make the flavors pop. One thing I didn't like in my other visits was that the spicy version of the guac was not spicy and very bland. The other options weren't appealing to me to I tried it again. Not spicy and very bland. At least they're consistent here. Salsa was different and also bland, which is hard to do with salsa. On the plus side, I love a perfectly fried chip, and they nail the chips here. Spicy Kale was decent. Service was...passable.
