"Love the gourmet Mexican food... you may not find your standby favorites but you will find new innovations in flavors and presentation. The food is always both stimulating in the belly and the eyes. This place reminds me of many fabulous restaurants in Mexico City."

"Went there for brunch and the food and the service was awesome! When they say "bottomless mimosa" with their brunch menu, they really mean it. I don't think my glass ever got below half empty before it was refilled. Definitely recommended."

"We had a good dinner at Crema, but not as good as the last time we went in Feb 2012- when it was outstanding. Maybe a different chef but this night but the guacomole was too salty and each dish was just not as delicious as the previous time. Service was very good."

"Hidden jem with authentic and delicious food. Excellent ambiance for any special occasion. Overall would rate this place as one of NYC finer Hispanic inspired restaurants. If you love Hispanic cuisine you should try Crema, you won't be disappointed."

"Wanted to try a Mexican Restaurant instead of always eating Italian or American. We shared a good hot cheesy appetizer with chips. The chef sent over a small cup of her potato soup with chipolte spice that was delicious. I wanted more. My husband had shrimp quesadillas and I had the dry scallops. They were both interesting, spicy and tasty. Definitely would try again."

"The three of us had a nice experience at Crema. Our waiter was terrific - that rare blend of fun and unobtrusive. We shared a variety of appetizers and they were all excellent. After that we were pretty full and so we shared a main course. This was the not nearly on a par with the rest of our experience. It was a special steak dish and we thought that it was mediocre at best. The only thing we could taste was soy sauce."

"Great ambiance, the open kitchen, staff... everything is right on. Brunch is my favorite, offering their delicious chilaquiles which are a MUST on a weekly basis. If you're in for some seafood, both callos and ceviche de pulpo are amazing. Guacamole and salsas are incredible, as well as traditional flautas and pastel azteca. Dying to try dinner menu pretty soon!"
