    Toloache is always a safe bet. The food and drinks are delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. It’s a beautiful spot, and the service can’t be beat. They’ll take such good care of you and make sure you’re out in time for a show. If you don’t have time for dessert before a show, you should definitely come back after!

    lovely mexican food. didn’t expect the 1:00 pm drag show, but it never eeally materiaalized while we were there. service top notch, the cocktails were sublime, and the tacos begged to be ordered again. the chips and salsa were probably the best i’ve ever had in nyc; only thumbs down was the avocado salad which was surprisingly small. can’t wait to return with a larger group to sample more of the excellent menu

    Our waiter Juan was great - attentive and helped me decide between two entrees. I had the salmon and loved it. My companion had a steak dish, she loved it. We split the chocolate creme brulee was very good, neither of us ever had it before.
