Great for creative cocktails
Lively
Good for groups

At Oyamel, José Andrés and his team combine Mexico’s rich regional diversity with the vibrant urban atmosphere of Mexico City.

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

The food and service were incredible! The space is beautiful! There was a fun pride event going on which was an added bonus but it did make it extremely hard to hear!

Disappointing Service Overshadowed an Otherwise Great Meal at Oyamel NYC I recently visited Oyamel on a Wednesday evening around 5:15 PM. I arrived as a walk-in and was told there would be a 30-minute wait and that they weren’t accepting walk-ins at the time. Oddly enough, I was able to make a reservation for just 10 minutes later through OpenTable. When I returned, the hostess was noticeably rude and dismissive—even though it was clear the system had allowed the reservation. Unfortunately, the service didn’t improve once we were seated. Our waitress was cold and unwelcoming from the start. When we were given happy hour menus by the manager, she questioned why we had them, creating an uncomfortable and awkward moment. Later, she got our taco order wrong and instead of owning the mistake, she blamed us and still charged us for the incorrect item. It’s a real shame because the food and drinks were absolutely fantastic - creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Oyamel has a lot of potential, but the poor service really took away from the overall experience. Great food can only carry a restaurant so far. Hopefully they address the front-of-house issues, because right now, the service doesn't match the quality of the kitchen.

Good food. Waiter made suggestions that were perfect. Good margaritas. We also left our phone in there and they held it for us for a day until we could track it down. Was an incredible help. Love this place.

I was incredibly disappointed. The food ranged from mediocre at best to bad and the drinks were not much better. It’s disappointing for this area and space.

Andreis our server was outstanding. The food was actually good. The restaurant is cavernous with many large tables. Very “corporate.” The music was incredibly loud and the large screen TV (with Golf) makes it more of a sports bar vibe.
Oyamel Cocina MexicanaResponded on June 16, 2025
Hola Randi, Thank you for dining with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that Andres took great care of you and that you enjoyed the food, I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We appreciate your notes about the atmosphere. While we aim to create a lively and energetic environment, we understand that volume and ambiance can impact the overall experience. Your comments are helpful as we continue to fine-tune those details. We hope to welcome you back again soon for an even better visit. Warmly, Shane Newman Operations Manager, Oyamel NYC

Went for happy hour..which is only at the bar. Which isn’t well suited for a group of women. Much of the restaurant was empty. They could have given us a table or allowed us to push a few high tops together
Oyamel Cocina MexicanaResponded on June 24, 2025
Hola Alex, Thank you for joining us for happy hour and for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear the bar seating didn’t feel ideal for your group. We understand how important comfort is, especially when gathering with friends. Our happy hour is currently offered exclusively at the bar, and while we do our best to accommodate special seating requests when space allows, we also try to honor the format that supports that promotion. That said, your feedback is heard, and I’ll be sure to share it with our team as we continue looking for ways to improve the experience for all our guests. We’d love to welcome you back soon for a full dining experience in our main room. Thank you again for the insight. Warm regards, Shane Newman Operations Manager, Oyamel NYC
