    Everything....was... so DELICIOUS! Even though we didn't have reservations they were still able to seat us. We came in on a Saturday and I can say i definitely want to come back. I am not a big steak person but the tenderness and flavors of the steak combined with the chimichurri sauce was amazing.

    We came here for our 17th anniversary as we saw the pictures and found it very nice and intimate. I must say the decor was beautiful to celebrate for events. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. They let us view the dining area before seating us which was amazing and very accommodating. We chose to seat in the outdoor dining room which is enclosed and heated hence why the pictures came out red. The outdoor seating was very nice and romantic perfect to celebrate such an occasion. The food was amazing we ordered quite a few things. For starters we went with the waiter recommendation of guacamole with chicharron which was amazing especially with the sauces that came with it. The texture and temperature different was great especially with their chips. We also ordered the Bone Marrow which again amazing the star of that was the octopus which in our opinion was cooked to perfection. For the main course my wife order the Shrimp and Crab Enchiladas. The sauce was perfect for the pairing of the dish. She enjoyed the sauce and the tortilla filling. I ordered Tulum Mar y Tierra Medium rare. I enjoyed the sauce it came with the steak and the enchilada itself is amazing. The flavors are on point and the steak was so tender. I also had the equites which was amazing exactly how I liked it. For dessert we had the Yellow Corn Cake. I must say is not overly sweet which is perfect for us. But the staff surprised us with a Tres Leche Cake with a chocolate sign wishing us a happy anniversary and we were very touched that they did so. Greatly recommend this restaurant if you have any special event you wish to celebrate.

    The drinks were a 10/10. The food was probably a 7/10. I would return specifically for the drinks. The espresso martini was my favorite along with the Mexican Caribbean. The service was great though, our waiter was very nice and checked in on us often to make sure we were okay. The vibes of the restaurant have like a jungle/Tulum feel, having vines on the walls. There is an upstairs and downstairs but a nice place to get pictures

    This modern Mexican spot in Turtle Bay is a hidden gem in the city. Walking into the restaurant, the stunning decor transports you to Tulum and the vibe here is perfect for a nice group dinner or a date night. Service here is fairly quick and timed perfectly as you enjoy each of your courses. For appetizers, we got their guacamole and tuna tartare which came with these thin chips that I absolutely loved, and sauces that paired so well with each dish. We also got their quesobirria, which was absolutely phenomenal and I could've ordered another one with how delicious it was. And, we got their short rib for our main to share with elote on the side, and I'm so happy I got it. The short rib was so tender, soft, and flavorful. And, the corn paired so well with the dish. Wish I had room for dessert to try more of their menu, but I left very content with everything we got. Highly recommend you to check this spot out!

    We came here for a 70th birthday party. I came on a Sunday so there was street parking available. There is a parking garage across the street on 49th. The restaurant is beautiful with lots of great decor. Downstairs is dark with tables and a bar. Upstairs has a large open room with a nice bar. There's a small outdoor area with a few tables which is where we sat. It looks like there is heat lamps above for the colder months. They offer a brunch menu. I'm not sure if it's all weekend or just Sunday. The staff were all great from the minute we worked in. The food was really good. The only reason I gave them a 4 star rating is because they ran out of a few items like regular Coke and coffee. Not sure how that happens but it is what it is. The presentation of all the food looked great. The guacamole with the corn tlayudas were amazing. It was a nice starter. I had chicken enchiladas which were great. Lots of flavor and honestly just looked delicious. I tried some of the Quasabirria which was also very good. The shredded beef had lots of flavor. They give you a few sauces to complement it. We had Concha con Nata for dessert. It's brioche pan dulce, whipped cream and fresh berries. It comes out warm which makes the berries taste sweeter and syrupy. Overall a good experience and would come back.

    Pulpo Adobado
    Adrian P.

    Beautiful decor as soon as you walk in. Made a reservation prior and was seated quickly. There are 3 areas where you can dine, bar, main dining area upstairs or the terrace. Started off with a hibiscus margarita which was very good and flavorful & Presented nicely. Had the queso fundido & quesabirria as appetizers. Both good options but favored the quesobirria. For dinner had the Tikin-Xic Fish & the pulpo adobado. Both excellent options. We were given tortillas to enjoy with our main courses. The plantain pureee was so good and part of both dishes. Every dish was presented beautifully and with a explanation by the waiter, who was very knowledgeable in the dishes background. Each bite full of flavor which made the dining experience pleasant. Overall service was great and to top it off we were given a complementary dessert for our anniversary. Would love to come again soon.

    Ummmm literally delicious, and not to mention the ambiance is so beautiful and vibey without being cringe or cheugy. We shared the churro French toast for the table and WOW. Perfect perfect perfect. Mahi Mahi tacos were good as well! Definitely recommend as a brunch spot and reservation was easy to get on a Sunday!

    Tán was such an amazing experience. Stopped by for my 30th birthday and was blown away by their service AND food. Besides them being completely full and booked, I was still well attended. My wife & I ended up finding a spot at the bar area (which they have a lounge seating area). Celeste and the rest of the staff were great. It's truly a taste of Tulum and will be back when I visit New York again. Make reservations online or call to avoid disappointment.

    Wagyu nacho
    Mark P.

    This is true hidden gem status! We first noticed how quickly the drinks came out, and they were perfect btw! The happy hour food items were so good we ordered four. Our rank order: 1. Wagyu sliders 2. Lobster tacos 3. Tuna tostado 4. Tyaluda nachos. They're quite serious about offering a unique culinary experience. Each dish was different and held to the Tulum theme. It has the feel of Mexico for sure!! We loved the couches and laid back atmosphere. The waiter, Aiden, accommodated us with a nice couch to relax on. He was so personable. Wonderful evening. Highly recommend for any occasion

    The vibes at Tan are high. This is very much a spot for the girlies to come out and do their thing. We saw a ton of girl groups dressed to the nines and having the best times. The drinks were tasty- my mezcal drink came in a smoking box. I'm a sucker for theatrics. Take my money. The ceviche Amarillo was delicious and the mole type sauce on the pulpo entree was nice and rich, not spicy at all. I actually think the latter could've had a bit more kick to it. The servers were busy but no issues. Overall would recommend for a fun night out!

    I hit Tàn for brunch yesterday and walked into what felt like a slice of Tulum dropped right in the city. Think jungle-chic meets lowkey bougie, with plants, textures, and music that made it impossible not to vibe. The woman I was with kept mentioning how much she loved the aesthetic, and she wasn't wrong. Went with the classic move, chicken and waffles paired with bottomless margaritas. Solid choice. Juan, our waiter (shoutout to Juan), mentioned his favorite was the hibiscus margarita, so I gave it a shot and yeah, he wasn't lying. Easily the best drink I had all day. Floral, smooth, not too sweet. Drinks flowed, the energy was perfect. If you're trying to brunch somewhere that feels like a mini escape with good drinks and solid service, Tàn's the move.

    Yellow Corn Cake
    Pratima M.

    A trendy spot serving up elevated Mexican eats, complete with a nice ambiance -- the seafood was solid. Tuna Tartare and Shrimp Ceviche were delicious, Branzino was really unique. The desserts (Corn Cake, Oaxacan Lava Cake) were a standout! It's a relatively unassuming midtown spot, but I enjoyed it.

    I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience genuinely disappointed me. I arrived on a Friday around 8pm without a reservation after seeing availability on OpenTable, but the hostess could only offer me a corner table behind the host stand. I didn't mind -- I just wanted to eat. However, after nearly 20 minutes of being completely ignored, with no greeting or even a glass of water, I had to go to the bar myself just to get a drink. I ended up leaving annoyed and actually bummed because I wanted to take my family here April and I didn't want to believe that one guys review about the only thing this place has going is its atmosphere.

The seating was comfortable, making it an easy place to sit and enjoy the meal. I ordered the pernil, and the skin was, dare I say, perfect... crispy, flavorful, exactly what you want. Unfortunately, the meat itself was pretty lean and ended up a bit dry. The maduros were a bigger letdown; when I had them before, they were ripe and sweet, but this time they came out dry as hell. I sent them back, and to their credit, they took them off the bill without any issue. My friend enjoyed his Cuban panini, and while the pork chicharrón had a few off pieces, it was decent overall. So overall, I'd say this place can be really good, but there's definitely a consistency issue. When they get it right, it's excellent; it just doesn't seem to be that way every time.

I got the Morir Sonando drink, which was wonderfully thick, oh so refreshing and sweet, full of rich orange taste. We shared the Mofongo and Steak dishes. I really enjoyed the Mofongo, which was served with pernil, sausage, and cheese. The Mofongo was cooked perfectly, while the meat was succulent and well seasoned. All the ingredients combined together to make for delicious bites. The Steak was made with onion, and came with a nice, fresh, crunchy salad, along with choice of side. We went for the Maduros. Steak was delightfully juicy, while Maduros were soft and slightly caramelized. Service was solid. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Everything came out in a timely manner. Prices were quite reasonable. If I am in the area, I would return to try the Bacalao Empanada, Fried Pork Chops, Breaded Steak, and Guayaba Dominican Cake.

Everyone agreed with my suggestion to eat Latin American food and we made a reservation at Buena Vista, not far away from our hotel and also not far from the theater. We came over a bit early, around 5:15 and were immediately seated. We were immediately impressed by the business model. It is a melange of Latin American and Iberian faire with exquisite curation. Their cocktails were absolutely delightful, I had a Pantalones en Fuego, others had an exquisite margarita with passion fruit flavor and a Daiquirí de Fresa, just amazing. Then we ordered interminable Hors d'oeuvres. Their ham croquetas and mushroom croquetas were the rage, as well as the tostoncillos ibéricos and ceviche limeño, The main courses followed, a paella valenciana for two, the magret de pato, a delicious duck dish, and a grilled Argentine parrilla.
