After shopping at a nearby, Sample Sale We popped into this location for a quick lunch. The restaurant was not busy despite its close location to Madison Square Park. We started with two seasonal margaritas and an array of tacos. The food was fresh and tasty. The prices seemed elevated for tacos ($7 for the pork birria taco, $8.75 for the brisket taco, $7.75 for the fish taco), but these days it's hard to gauge. I really enjoyed the smoky chicken taco and ordered another one. For the pair they were $11. Which I thought was quite reasonable compared to the other prices. The dining area was quite large, and the bar was fully stocked. We sat in a booth which was a nice touch. Ines was an excellent waitress and answered any questions that we had. read more

We had a good time here! They aren't doing anything super new or trendy but it's good Tex Mex and a fun atmosphere. Here are the hits and misses: Nachos: a small is perfect for two. Gooey cheese, spicy jalapeños, smooth guac. It's all there. Loved every bite. A total hit Mauntak marg: if you are not a tequila person this is great for you. Like a pina colada in marg form. Excellent, a hit for me! Spicy marg: right up your alley if you actually do want to taste your tequila. Tajin rim is a nice touch. Hubby likes tequila and enjoyed this one. Grilled black bean burrito: very appealing presentation. Loved the tang of the lime crema. Even the beans and rice on the side had flavor which always shows me an attention to detail that I appreciate. Not "spicy" but flavorful. Put that habanero sauce on there if you want a kick (it's not that hot but it's better than nothing) and you have yourself a hit. Tacos (chicken, Cajun shrimp, and grilled fish): "on point" for the shrimp and grilled fish and "rather dry" for the chicken so that was really the only miss of the evening. Lively crowd in the evening, good food, good drinks. Nothing "amazing" but nothing terrible either. read more

Didn't have reservations, but was able to get a seat outside on a nice spring weeknight within 5 minutes around 7:30pm on a popular Taco Tuesday. Happy to see Vegan Chipotle Cashew "Cheese" on the menu, so decided to go for full vegan nachos and was not disappointed. It was perfect for a happy hour appetizer and drinks for two. Service was a bit stretched between inside and outside tables, but we were in a relaxed mood, so the timing didn't matter as much. read more

Beautiful place with lovely ambiance however the food did not deliver. I should have listened to the other reviewers. Tacos looked beautiful but did not have the taste that I desired. They were also sooo dry. The Mexican street corn was good but not amazing. I would not return to Mexicue. Lastly, their per taco price is a bit insane for the lack of flavor. Service was good however. read more

Came here post-workout so we had an appetite. While I had no plans to drink, it was around brunch time and they had a breakfast margarita that was tempting. They have a 90 min bottomless option or per drink so I got the one ($9) and was not disappointed. For lunch we each got three tacos and we were so stuffed. I got the chicken, shrimp and fish tacos. Enjoyed all three but probably wouldn't get the fish again. I opted for the fried but it had a strong cinnamon taste that I didn't favor. Also the guacamole had a heavy cumin flavor that I wasn't a fan of but their chips were addictive! Quick and friendly service. Bright decor and welcoming atmosphere. Could definitely accommodate big groups. read more

This place is a taco lover's dream come true! First off, the variety is wild in the best way possible. Fish tacos? Check. Shrimp tacos? Yup. Pulled pork, brisket, and a bunch of others I lost count of because I was too busy stuffing my face? DOUBLE CHECK. Each taco comes with different flavors, unique toppings, and sauces that range from zesty to spicy. The meats were flavorful and juicy, the toppings fresh and perfectly balanced, and the tortillas? Soft, warm, and delicious. Bonus points for the fun atmosphere and friendly staff who didn't judge me when I ordered "just one more round"... three times. Come hungry and leave room for regret-free overindulgence. read more

We came during July Restaurant Week 2024, and it was a pleasant experience. Our favs were the grilled street corn, the shape of the calamari, and the size of chips. The server was friendly and informative, and the gummy on top of my drink was yummmmy. The texture was my favorite. The quesdilla portion was so big! We were all shocked. Would come back to try their regular menu maybe soon! read more

Went there Saturday night thinking it's empty and the menu looks good but i should have kept walking. They sat us at the booth but it was still dirty. Ordered a bowl with smoky chicken and it was actually bad. It's hard to mess up a rice beans and slaw bowl but not sure why it has sesame seeds. It was an Asian bowl trying to be Mexican, absolutely bad. read more

MEXiCUE - Smoky chicken bowl - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I had the hibiscus passionfruit cocktail, which was very good, and the smoky BBQ bowl, but there was nothing smoky about it. The chicken was tender but lacked taste and was very mediocre. They have a happy Monday to Friday 4 to 7 with endless tacos, and that sounds like fun with discount margaritas. I would try that, but for this visit, I was not impressed with this Mexican kitchen, especially when craving some good Mexican food. read more

While in the city on my lunch break, I finally had the chance to try Mexicue a spot that had been sitting on my must-visit list for a while. I went in fairly early, so the restaurant was quiet, which made for a chill and relaxed atmosphere--perfect for a midday break. I ordered the Elote along with a fish taco and a brisket taco. The Elote was definitely the highlight--well-seasoned, flavorful, and satisfying. As for the tacos, they looked amazing, but the taste didn't quite match the presentation. They were just okay, nothing particularly memorable. That said, the overall experience was still a good one. The service was smooth, and the vibes were nice. I'd definitely come back to give some of their other tacos a try--there's still more on the menu I'm curious about. read more

MEXiCUE - Brisket taco & Fish taco - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I came here on a Tuesday and they have a "Taco Tuesday" deal where it's happy hour all day and $25 for unlimited tacos for 90 minutes. So naturally, my friend and I did unlimited tacos. The only options you have for the unlimited taco deal are avocado, pork (not birria), or chicken tacos. I only had the chicken and pork tacos. I was honestly surprised that I liked the chicken more! Either way, each taco was STUFFED. They did not skimp out on the meat; I am impressed. read more

Such a cute spot in Flatiron and was a great way to end my day! Stopped in when Yelp suggested they were great for happy hour and was sad they didn't have any specials when we came in however the prices are reasonable enough we didn't really mind. They offer great cocktails and a few mock tails and a great spread of food. Will definitely come back again when the weather breaks forreal! read more

MEXiCUE - Large nachos, smoky marg (bottom) & sangria (top) - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Writing this specifically for taco Tuesday ($25 for bottomless tacos for 90min). It was fantastic. They have great happy hour deals (some apps and drinks) and provide 3 taco options for the bottomless taco offer. When we were there it was the avocado taco, smokey chicken taco and pulled pork taco. Each was delicious and are surprisingly large. I think most people would be satiated from 3 tacos, so if you don't plan to eat at least 4, the deal isn't worth it as tacos range from $7-9 each normally. They allow you to order 3 tacos at a time. We also got the nachos with cashew cheese which were very good. People enjoyed the happy hour margaritas as well. They have vegan and vegetarian options not on the happy hour menu as well as seafood and an extensive bar. I thought the flavors in each taco were unique and very tasty. Each taco had a good amount of ingredients, without any overwhelming the other. It added to the texture and taste. If you are hungry and like to eat, you could likely eat 6, if you are a big eater, you could do 8-9 but will be quite full. You can also pick which of the 3 tacos you want, so you don't have to do all 3 eg two chicken one pork or just order 1 taco or 2. The space itself is large, but got very busy and loud as the night went on. Our waiter Luis was fabulous, very friendly and attentive. Overall, I can't think of a better happy hour/dinner spot on a Tuesday night. read more

MEXiCUE - Dips - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I came to Mexicue a couple of years back. I remember I liked it but i can't recall loving it. However, something has changed. We went to Mexicue two weeks ago and we loved it so much that we went again this week. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend getting the nachos. They are definitely a large portion unless you make it for happy hour and get the smaller one. You must try the corn. It is really good!! In terms of the rest we have tried and liked- crispy fish taco, grilled fish taco, mushroom quesadilla, smoky chicken taco and avocado taco. We really liked the churros as well although the portion was large for two people. It was perfect for a group of four. The service is always on point as well. The food comes out quickly and water is always filled. read more

Been to this location a couple times and they are very consistent. Guac to start is great -- fresh and light. Tried the fish, pork, brisket, and shrimp tacos. All very good! Fish and shrimp are probably the tastiest. Picture classic tacos with a bit of a twist. Portions are adequate. Service is quick and friendly. Usually busy but there is a lot of seating. Resys are a good idea but I have walked in with a small party and hasn't been an issue. Solid go-to for Mexican cuisine in the area. read more

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this spot as I was afraid it'd be an overpriced and overhyped tourist place! I was definitely wrong because the portions were great value and portion and wow was it TASTY! The nachos alone are enough for 3-4 people, so we definitely got too much food but I'm not complaining! Maybe if the waiter gave a warning it was a lot would be ideal, but never a bad idea to go home with leftovers. The meat was super flavorful and the textures were on point with a nice contrast of crunchy to the softer bits. Would def go back with a larger group! read more

In a nutshell, Mexicue is good, and I'd go again, but it's not somewhere I'd be dying to suggest to friends visiting from out of town. Lots of flavor in both the smoky chicken burrito and BBQ Brisket Rice Bowl, and both are pretty filling as well. The biggest disappointment was with the chips and guacamole, which was yummy, but definitely overpriced ($15 for chips and guac!?). The service was friendly, but on the slower side. And the interior of the restaurant has some fun decor, but feels a little cramped. read more

Came here after going to the math museum since it's right next door. My nephew had chicken and chips (I do feel it should come with fries instead) we also had guac and chips, I had the bbq shrimp player, it was so delicious and enough for 2.

Very good experience. Came here with some girlfriends and decided to try out the street corn and a shrimp taco, and it was really good. The street corn was served as strips of the cob, and the Cajun mayo sauce that they pair it with was delicious. The shrimp tacos were okay, good enough to eat but nothing that was super mind blowing. All in all, I'd give it a 8.5/10 and would return if I was craving Mexican food. read more

Stopped by here for lunch and wow, Mexicue did not disappoint. When we first walked in the ambiance of the place felt super cool - bright, colorful, and open. We were seated immediately and our server has to be one of the friendliest servers I've ever had. He immediately recommended items to us off the menu which I loved! And the food... did not lack flavor in any way. The smoky chicken burrito was absolutely perfect. It was packed with incredible flavors and grilled just right. I absolutely loved the slaw that it came with too. Overall I would definitely recommend giving Mexicue a try! It's definitely on my list of places to come back to sometime. read more

Used to love coming here for happy hour. I was craving the brisket nachos so I just ordered to go. My friends got the Smokey chicken burrito and JamBurrito. Wanted to love the food but it just wasn't the same. The brisket used to be so tender it would melt in your mouth. It was tough. Great portion size for $23 and loads of brisket but just disappointed with the taste. My friend had the Smokey chicken burrito and felt it tasted weird. It had more of a Chinese Thai flavor ? Than Mexican. The JamBurrito was the favorite! read more

Smokey Margarita | Chicken Tacos | Chill Smokey Margarita - we come to this place every year for the Smokey Margarita. A friend worked at a bank around the corner, and we have gone to Mexicue every year for the past six years (minus 2020 for COVID) to consume one of our favorite cocktails in the city. HOWEVER - it was very underwhelming. We sent the first one back; the second one was "okay" at best. Chicken Tacos - I had the chicken Tacos. I had three. They were the highlight of the meal. They were the perfect lunch meal because I was hungry but not starving. Chill - Overall, the place is super chill. It is the ideal spot for a quick lunch or happy hour after work. I highly recommend it as a place to end the work day or start your night out. Also, if you want a quick bite and a good spot for a conversation with friends or co-workers, this is also a great spot. Why not five stars - we came for the smokey margarita, but the first one was mistakingly made as a traditional margarita. The remake was barely smokey. Overall, the cocktail we went to the restaurant for was very underwhelming. Therefore, they lost a star. Pro Tip: No parking in the area, so definitely plan on walking/ubering/cabbing. read more

So, I had Mexican food in NYC. You can take the girl out of south Texas, but you can't take the south Texas out of the girl. I so wanted queso. I did know that the Mexican food was not going to be the same, but it was pretty close. The poblano queso was great. Good flavor. The chips were crispy. So, I wanted to be healthy and ordered the trippy taco salad while my family has the tree carne DIY tacos. I did cheat and tried some of their food. The taco salad wasn't what I am used to. It was more of just a salad. It did have a lot of guacamole which I have no complaints about. Who doesn't love avocado? The tres carne DIY tacos are definitely enough for 4-5 grown adults. There was plenty of food. The sides included rice, beans, cole slaw and corn. We had so much food left over. The margaritas were perfect. They do sell them by the pitcher. I love the outside seating.

Excellent sangria and house margaritas! I love that they offer pitcher size. The guac is delcious! I made a reservation for 4 to meet up with friends. I was the first in my party to arrive, I was greeted promptly and seated. The disappointing thing is that the tables are too close together. So sometimes you're talking over each other's conversations or having to raise your voice because you cannot hear. Other than that, staff was highly attentive with checking on us. I appreciated their patience while we waited for our friends who were running late. They have both indoor and outdoor dining, perfect way to enjoy the weather. read more

Pretty darn solid Mexican food! No wait to get seated on a Tuesday evening for a party of 2. We came at the tail end of happy hour and got the margaritas + chips and salsa. Margaritas were delicious! I also ordered the brisket taco + the grilled cod taco. The brisket taco was a bit salty but the grilled cod was amazing! Very delicious. I'm docking one star because this ended up being a pretty expensive meal for what it was, drink + two tacos + chips + salsa were around 40 with tip which I find a bit overpriced. Overall still good, would recommend! read more
