MEXiCUE

Mexicue offers a vibrant dining experience with amazing and flavorful food. The dishes are truly delicious and well-prepared. However, the atmosphere can be quite noisy due to the loud music, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the service was a bit slow, which was a minor downside. On a positive note, their cocktails are worth trying and complement the meal well.

It was my first time to eat at Mexicue and it didnt disappoint!We ordered chips and guac and elotes for apps and it was good.For entree we did shrimp taco,pork birria taco,fish taco and everything was amazingly good.I would definately come back to try more.

The idea of Mexican food and BBQ caught our eye. We made a reservation which was good since the restaurant is small. We were seated quickly and the one waiter sat us and provided menus. It was awhile before he was back to take our drink order. Decided to order an appetizer when we placed our drink order and went with the nachos. Nachos arrived but no drinks. Started eating the nachos since they were hot and still no drinks. With a good dent in the nachos the cocktails arrived. They were good but the timing was all off. The nachos were also good. We could have just had those for dinner (shared between 2 of us) had we realized how big a portion we’d get. I ordered a smoky chicken taco which was also good. It didn’t have that fake smoke taste thankfully and was moist and large as well.

Really great food! The shrimp taco and chicken taco were amazing, avocado taco was also good. Everything was SPICY, including nachos!Nice quick service and lovely atmosphere. But the staff turned off the music right at 9PM and they visibly wanted everyone to leave quickly.

Shrimp taco is to die for !! Try it asap ! This is my second time. I’ve tried brisket taco, chicken taco, schrimp taco and corn. Corn is amazing ! 10/10

I would recommend making a reservation, they were pretty busy and we had to sit near the doors which isn’t a big issue. The place was assume! Our server was helpful with recommendations and the service was fast and quality. The food and drinks had all the flavor you’d hope for. I’d definitely recommend and return again. Thanks for a great experience!

Wow, just wow—this place is a taco lover’s dream! We did the all-you-can-eat tacos, and they were massive and absolutely delicious. The staff? Total legends—so friendly and on top of everything. The whole vibe was amazing, and the food was ridiculously good. If you love tacos (and let’s be real, who doesn’t?), you need to check this place out!

We stopped by here when my mom and I were in the city and wow, what a delicious meal! The nachos were INSANE, maybe the best nachos I’ve ever had? And the stacked enchiladas were delicious too! We will definitely be back!

Great food, but not entirely worth the price & wait. We didn’t have reservations and that was a mistake for a Friday night dinner. Wait time was over an hour, but staff was understanding, checked in on us, and immediately had our table ready after. Unlimited chips were excellent with the different dips. Tacos were superb, as was the pitcher - get it with the chili & salt rim! Staff was great. Outdoor seating available.

These were one of thebest tacos I have ever had in my life! I ordered the Smoky Chicken and Nashville Hot Chicken tacos and the wait for them was so worth it. The Smoky Chicken taco especially blew me away–the chicken was so incredibly tender and paired wonderfully with the vegetables and tortilla wrap, the sauce sealing it altogether. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy due to the decorations and it didn’t feel as small as it looked, I was quite comfortable at the bar. I’d have to come back soon to try their other dishes and drinks, since they have an extensive menu.

Never been reminded so many times that tip is not included. And I’m wearing a suit. Neither have I had it that I’m the only person of the 10+ people around that the restaurant closed (actual officially it closed about 5 mins after i was told it was closed). Food was decent. Shouldn’t have tipped but I did.

How does a restaurant go from 5 stars to1? An inefficient server and just as worse a lazy Manager.We had a 6:30 reservation and Stephanie L was our server. Instead of calling me Honey we would have preferred competence.We ordered what we did Sunday . The drink came but no nachos and guac. Just around when our main course, the server suddenly remembered and blamed the kitchen. When our BBQ rice bowls came, servings were less and my bowl had no RICE. We asked and were told at 6:45 they ran out of rice. Weird when the 4 people next to us who ordered after all got rice. We were told the Manager was coming to explain but never showed up. No credit to the bill.My mistake giving 18% tip .On Sunday We were fortunate to have Angelca A, who was really busy as probably the only server working, but spent time explaining the menu to us an taking the time to take pictures of us all. She was the reason I gave a 5 star and then deleted due to this bad service tonight (Thursday)

Very cute interiors, nice food. Portions were a bit uneven: huge nachos and small tacos (only one per portion). Overall tasty and good atmosphere.

Starters and drinks were great! The fire roasted creamy corn dip was a hit. There were some really good vegetarian options. Some of our entrees were ok...The place had a good vibe!

First time here and had a great experience. You can mix your tacos. I ordered the shrimp and pork and both were delicious. The nachos was an generous sharing size and so delicious!

Really amazing food at this restaurant it’s a secret spot near Times SquareWe had tacos and nachos and fajitasEverything was fresh off the oven and tasted so goodEven had the afternoon margaritas spicy margarita and a passionfruit margarita drinks really made well…Really like the blackened fish tacos and the smoky chicken tacosWill be def going back to try multiple other tacosGreat service by the bartender and the waiterSuper ambience and decor

The most terrible dining experience. My friends and I had walked in and had originally gotten seated at a table with stools and wanted to be switched to a table with actual chairs so we could place our large jackets (there were multiple empty tables). When we asked we got a weird look from the host but he did not say anything and allowed us to sit there. Afterwards the waitress came over and stated that it was not gossip or tea time and that we could not sit there for two hours because the table was reserved (which we were not originally told). Once we got the food we were rushed throughout, I barely finished my last bite when the waitress came over and snatched my plate as well as my friends. We stayed roughly 35 minutes because of how uncomfortable we were. As an establishment no customer should ever be rushed or treated that way regardless if there are reservations. Please avoid this place at all costs!!

Our bartender was friendly and attentive. Drinks and tacos were tasty.The restaurant is small so its not easy getting a seat even on the weekends.The C rating was a bit concerning but I will give it another shot.

We came here randomly while in NYC. We arrived around 5:00pm and didn’t have a reservation but we’re able to be seated at either the window bar table or a high top. We chose the high top table. If you choose this option just note the tables are super small, the chairs have no back support and there are no hooks to hang purses or coats. This was the main reason I gave the “atmosphere” 4 stars. I had to eat with my purse on my shoulder and hat and coat in my lap.It was still happy hour and we were super happy to see that the house margarita (pictured) was discounted. It was a very well balanced margarita. Not too sweet or sour.I ordered the wild mushroom quesadilla and lorrrrrd have mercy they were delightful!! It was hands down THE BEST vegetarian dish I’ve ever had. We will deff be back next time we are in the city and craving a wonderful margarita and Mexican food.

The food is soooo amazing like really really good. Shrimp, bbq brisket,cod fish and lobster yes you heard me right lobster tacos are worth the trip to mexicue. I ordered the chicken quesadilla to top things off. Chris was so amazing and super chill. I dined outside the weather was wonderful. I will be making a trip back for more. I am gonna try the entire menu.

Serve excellent margaritas and good food- in good positions 😃👍

The food is SO GOOD!! All of the ingredients were fresh and perfectly put together. We got a pitcher of margaritas and the Cheese-Burgitas. 100% recommend going here!! Buttt the service sucks so if you don’t like being in awkward situations where you have to ask the waitress to wait on you, maybe get takeout.

Delicious meal and quaint atmosphere. Every component of our plates was flavorful and worked together. Highly recommend the stacked enchiladas. Good and friendly service overall, but I think the servers are stretched a little thin.

One of the best foods we have had here in NY on the Time Square area...!!!!! 🌮😋Food is so flavorful, we ordered BBQ burrito, and BBQ taco, Chicken taco and lobster taco 👌The house margarita 🍹 is great, but is missing something, could be better, as good as the food..But definitely you should try this place⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Vegetarian review: The mushroom taco was ok and it had a cheese that really overpowered it and they didnt really go together well IMO. The broccoli taco was the best of the three options. I wish there was more intensity to flavor however. The corn taco was also decent.The vegetarian nachos however were quite terrible and flavorless with too many layers of cheese all over. They clearly missed the sauces on one half of the nacho mountain while they chose to use a weird combination of pickled peppers and jalapenos for heat. The jalapeno guacamole is also okay as long as you dont expect any kick from the jalapenos. Their tortilla chips are very good.This restaurant is not a repeat for me.

I’ve eaten here three nights in a row! It right across from my hotel. The food and service are AMAZING! So good! As a diabetic, I can get a skinny margarita and tacos in a lettuce boat! Love this place!P.S. Angelica is an amazing bartender and please tell her Hi! 💗

The food was delicious, highly recommend!!! We got the elote style corn, veggie guacamole and some tocos to share & everyone enjoyed 😋The service was also great 👍

The story here is similar to many places around the city. Their prices have gone through the roof the last 2 years. It is not just inflation, it’s price gouging at its finest. What really annoyed me was taking out for lunch, they now have a $2.50 charge for a takeout container (which I did not see stated anywhere). They ran out of reasonable cost increases so they’re just hiding them now and that principal will probably keep me away from this restaurant.The food itself is above average, nothing superior, but definitely above average. They do have a C health rating at this location, so something to keep in mind as well.Overall good food but prices are high and they will tack on any fees they can to your order apparently.

Stopped by for happy hour which lasted until 6. Accommodating service where we had someone else join us and they were able to move us to a bigger table. Nachos was a good bang for your buck during HH.

This restaurant got mixed reactions from our family. The guacamole was really good, but the chips tasted like cooking oil and had no salt. Both the filling for the shrimp fajitas and chicken fajitas were tasty, but the accompanying tortillas were extremely greasy. It felt as if pieces of each part of the meal were good, but certain pieces detracted from the quality. Our server was very attentive and friendly, but the restaurant was so loud that it was almost impossible to visit.

Was there Aug19. 2024. They moved me pretending reserved place for up coming clients. Place was almost empty and still was when I left. They screwed me on nachos plate $22 instead of $18 also on beer ( charged me reg price while it was happy hour). Be careful if you go there. Also nacho plate was sluggish. Now youre warned.

Omg the CORNBREAD GAVE ITSELF 5 STARS....Then you have the corn which is freaking SLAPPING!!!!!!I had a mimosa.....prices are real good....The lobster taco was 3/5Shrimp taco 4/5Smoky chicken tack 4/5

If you’re craving good Mexican food, this place should be your destination. We ordered the chips and salsa, a bowl of rice with chicken, and the brisket tacos. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavour were amazing , and each dish was perfectly seasoned. The spicy margarita was outstanding, packed with just the right amount of heat. The staff was incredibly attentive, making the experience even better. I definitely recommend this spot for a fantastic meal and great service

The food was brilliant especially the Brisket! Sebastian was very nice and a perfect waiter.Next time we will come back - for sure.Price (30 USD per person for a lot of food and a drink) is okay for this great food.

We were a bit doubtful as its a chain but we were delightfully surprised. Refreshing flavors, good choices on the menu and service was excellent.My wife and I went for a late lunch, shared an appetizer and a drink and both of us ordered tacos individually.. $60 for two incl tipIm vegetarian and the Avocado taco is very tasty

Crispy fish taco and smoky chicken taco, and the poblano queso were all very good. I was surprised at how filling the tacos were and I liked how you can mix and match the tacos,

So what I really like about this place is that the food is so colorful & vibrant. Adding the sesame seeds makes it more visually appealing as well. The fajitas had vegetables that werent overcooked and all these other elements that made the dish. The chicken was perfectly cooked, though not very seasoned still enjoyable. The downside is that once you start getting to the bottom of the plate there is a lot, and I mean a lot of oil. The tortillas were homemade and trust me, it makes a difference. The Nachos were stacked. Jalapeños, chopped up peppers, beans, guac, fresh cilantro, and liquid gold 🧀 Yum. Generous portions that allow you to share. Which cuts down the prices. Bill was around $50 w/o tip. Waitress was very courteous and quick.

Food was alright, $7.75 for one chicken taco was a bit of a high price, which i wouldnt have minded if the service wasnt so subpar. i asked the waiter if by any chance there was any hot tea as i had been feeling a sore throat coming on, he rudely responded its the middle of the summer, no one drinks hot tea, we dont do that here, people usually do iced teas when its hot out. a simple no wouldve been more than enough, absolutely no need for that comment. i did not catch the waiters name but i did see him later on bring over hot tea to the table sitting diagonal from mine. the atmosphere felt very cold and the place felt crowded even when empty. the waiter didnt check on me and my friend at all, and he hovered over us while we tried to pay. we felt uncomfortable as he was watching us pull out our cash and he wouldnt go away. overall the food and the experience wouldve been better to me had the service not been so bad. definitely wouldnt recommend coming here.

Had tacos and burritos in this amazing restaurant near Bryant Park.The food was great and the service quick and nice. Loved the Cajun shrimp tacos !The restaurant can be a bit noisy when it is fully occupied but this is manhattan 😁

It was my second time there and I absolutely loved the food and ambience. Service was exceptional. One of my go to places for Mexican in the city.

Great food, fantastic service but a little crowded. I guess it’s normal for NYC. Below is a picture of “Barbecue beef rice bowl”and “cajun shrimp”.

Tasty food! I had reservations for 5 but didn’t get seated until 15 minutes later. Very cramped interior. I got the mexican street corn, nashville fried tacos, smoky chicken tacos, and chips with poblano queso. All great + highly reccomend the smoky chicken tacos!

Great Mexican food! I am from the Southwest and know good Mexican food. This place was a great fusion of flavors on typical Mexican dishes. I will come back the next time I am in NYC!

Everything was delicious. My waiter was great, very attentive. I ordered the lobster and shrimp tacos, DELICIOUS! Of course the drinks were good.. I had 4! The atmosphere is nice as well, great for date nights, with friends or time alone.

The other comments interest me. The servings are as expected for the equivalent of street tacos (it’s a corn tortilla filled with delicious happiness). The unique cocktails were awesome (I had the Mexican Mule, Bootleg, and House Margarita). I’m from San Antonio, TX and love Mexican food, barbecue, and good bourbon. This place hit the mark in my opinion. Well worth it!!

I ordered guacamole, chicken burrito and chelada. My 2 friends ordered 2 different kinds of tacos and two coctails. The check was around 100$. I cant really compare the price/satisfaction ratio, however I wasnt happy with my food and the chelada was the worst ever. Wouldnt go there again.

Great place. Delicious food. Very nice stuff!Will come back soon!

Sebastian, great service, great suggestions, loved the food, loved the vibe. Had the street corn, guacamole was amazing....food was fresh and the service from Sebastian was 5 stars

Beautiful place with absolute yummy food, a bit crowded but ok. Chip and dip was amazing!

This place is a hidden gem 👌🏻 The waitress is really helpful and friendly, great service!The food was really tasty, best tacos I’ve ever tasted and their Spicy Margarita is absolutely a winner!!

Don’t order any salads - salad was frozen and thereby watery and uneatable, very little toppings. They did though discount the salad but that did not help vegetarian eater’s hunger.Burritos had a lot of meat, but were very mild in taste.Service very quick and friendly.

The Broadway location was a little small and the table was tight but the jamburrito was amazing. The four dips as an appetizer were also absolutely delicious. We got the cheese, bean dip, guac, and salsa verde and all four were perfect. The waiter was very kind but slow towards the end when we wanted a second beverage. Overall would go back because of the great fresh and quality food! The drinks were strong and tasty and they have so many vegan options for those you would want it!

Mexicue has really good Mexican food. Their service is quick and very friendly. They do get a bit busy around lunch and after work hours but the food is well worth the wait. They usually have happy hours specials on drinks (servers are usually pretty upfront about the special today). Id highly recommend their tacos.

The food here is pretty good, the service- even though we sat at the bar, was slow!It is a LOUD spot filled with lots of tourists and after work crowds too.

A great find in the middle of the city. Awesome fusion tacos and margaritas. Great space and staff. Sure its pricey, but hey its Manhattan. 🤷

Great drinks and tacos and the bartender was so sweet!

The food was delicious! The Jambalaya burrito is amazing! So are the brisket nachos.

Solid.Good food. Great service and atmosphere.

Amazing foodGreat service

Delicious burritos! Great place to go before a show. We had the burnt ends burrito and it was so good we ordered another.

Delicious!!Their food is amazing, they have se veg delicious options like the avocado taco and the salad. The prices are alright and the attention is good, specially Marissa she has an amazing vibe. Its close to Bryant Park, its not a big place but it was packed when I was there. I will be back!

Great food, lovely drunks and you have to try the corn ribs. Lots of good options for tacos.

It’s not bad but not good either.

Loved it! Fabulous combination of flavors. Mildly spicy for this non-spice lover, but very much worth it. Best cornbread I’ve ever had; sweet and delicious.

Came here randomly for happy hour. They didn’t have a big happy hour menu. An item wasn’t available and they only had corn tortillas (which I like). Ordered brisket and chicken nachos 10/10. Drinks ok. Got a Casamigos shot which was $17 :O. Tacos were okay.

They don’t maintain hygiene and only few food items are goodPlates and spoons are supper dirty , I am a vegetarian and if there is a meat on plate it’s not good

Great place! Atmosphere and service excellent. Food quality is amazing. Everything is very good.Definitely recommend it.

Im not sure it was only that day when I visited, but the kitchen ventilation seemed not working properly. It is a open kitchen but smoke was full in dining area.Food was tasty and portion was perfect sbut cocktail wasnt impressive.Server was very nice and helpful.

Salsa sauce is bland.Tortilla chips was coldAnd 1 bathroom

This is a super busy place. The food is great and the service was super nice. We went for a quick bite before a show and had a salad and a drink.

While the culinary aspect has seen a dip, the overall charm of this establishment remains unparalleled. The ambiance and experience continue to excel, creating a delightful atmosphere. Despite the slight downturn in food quality, the bars allure persists, making it a noteworthy destination.

Small but well organized modern tex-mex style Bar and Restaurant. Beautiful wood and partially open kitchen compliment the bar with respectable selection and custom designed, seasonal drinks. Works for a work meeting as well as a casual date or evening activity.

B we st taco I ever gad in my life and Im 75 yes. young. Smoked Chicken, also pork biriani taco with grilled pineapple. OMG! Taco 5.50. Omg!

Staff was really friendly & attentive. We had a couple margaritas for happy hour & they were very good. My only real problem with this place was that they had a C rating for health code inspection which is why we didn’t get any food. If the rating goes up, I will happily be back to try their food as well. If not, its not worth it just for drinks.

The food was very good i Like the friendliy Service the Ambiente ist very good i Like mexican food very mutch the Tacos are the best i ever have eat

Great experience. The rice bowl’s large and delicious! Thank you, Marisee. Love your smile.

Luscious, met in your mouth hearty tacos, especially for the pulled pork carnitas, and beef brisket tacos. While seemingly pricey, the quality and flavor is superb. Highly recommend and will return, still tasting and dreaming about these tacos. Convenient to Bryant Park and subways.

The food here was fantastic! We got the appetizer of chips with four dips: queso, salsa, bean dip, and guacamole. My husband suspected the queso was actually cashew queso and didnt like it, but I loved it. We also got the burnt ends brisket bowl, which was delicious. My only complaint is there are no drinks offered besides alcoholic drinks. I really wanted an iced tea or an agua fresca or Mexico Coke.

We tried this palce for the first time during our trip to NYC. Our waitress Stephanie was the sweetest with on point service. Their nachos hit the spot.

Got the stacked enchiladas #amazing

You have to try chicken fajitas true happiness and red sangria, im so glad i found this place 💯💯💯

Tacos were good. Great location but small space. Service was good as well. However, the guacamole and tortilla chip was a bit disappointing.

They were very accomdoating for our group of 11. We called in advance. Its very small inside, but cozy. The place smelled delicious and food was just as good. Tbe nachos with guacamole is a must along with the queso. The portions are perfect, just like tapas. The sangria is strong, perfect and delicious! Great time, will definitely go back

Stopped in for a 30 minute lunch. Beer on draft great tacos. Marissa daytime bartender was awesome. Great conversation.

Delicious! A really great selection of tacos and the margaritas were on point! Service was friendly and helpful. Will definitely return when I’m back in New York!

This is cozy little place! We ordered Mezcal Manhattan and Margarita along with some guac, nachos and veggie tacos. Nachos and guacamole could have been better. There was too much going on in the guac: the flavors, spice level and texture were just not right. The place is well maintained and has friendly staff. I would visit again for drinks and tacos!

Had a great meal and highly recommend the Mexican Mule with mezcal.

Great casual dining with excellent food and first class service from the attentive staff.

The tacos are amazing.Nachos are great

Try all the tacos and margaritas, there only disservice is not allowing yourself the opportunity! They also make lovely mocktails just ask!

Decent Tex-Mex restaurant off Broadway, serving tacos, burritos and salads.

Fantastic restaurant!We were a party of 3, two adults and a 5 year old. Luckily we got a walk-in, but it was busy, so Id recommend making a reservation if you know when you want to eat here. Everything about our meal was excellent 👌Fresh ingredients, everything is prepared to order - nothing sitting around going dry. I highly recommend the shrimp tacos.Oh and the cocktails are amazing too! Cider bourbon spritz 😍Please share your queso recipe with restaurants in the UK 🇬🇧 no one makes it like you!!!

It’s a tiny restaurant but it’s still nice. The food has been fresher in the past but it was delicious.

This cozy restaurant has style, fantastic food & a mouth watering selection of margaritas. I highly recommend the brisket tacos! The guacamole was so fresh & delicious its almost as if they make new batches for each order. Great place for dinner & drinks before a show.

Food isnt bad, but the portions are very very small, and if you love spicy Mexican food you better skip this one. We asked for extra spicy sauce and they gave us a dip less spicy than Tabasco. There are few tables where one can properly sit, this is more of a fast food experience. But the prices are very high for what this is. Totally not worth it. Margaritas were nice but thats not enough to recommend the place

Cute place, the grilled tacos and nachos were good. Would like to try the Margheritas sometime

Lunch was delicious, everything we ordered was amazing!

Decent fast casual option near Times Square. The food and drinks are a little pricey, but the 4-6 pm happy hour makes cocktails and apps at Mexicue less of a hit to your wallet.

Actually the most uncomfortable dining experience ever. we asked the host for a regular table instead of a high top (the place was pretty empty at this point) to which he ended up giving us after he gave us a weird look (instead of just telling us no)... then we had a waitress come over and tell us that it wasnt gossip or tea time and we couldnt sit there for two hours because there were reservations (again, the place was not full, and they couldve just told us that we couldnt sit there) -- they proceeded to rush us through eating (like literally snatching our tacos as soon as we were done) and continuously asking if we were ready for the check or needed anything else .. when they couldve just said no in the beginning. overall really terrible and uncomfortable experience, we sat at 440 and were done by 5:10 because of how rushed we were.

Great service and one of the better margaritas I’ve had anywhere. The food was ok but it’s definitely worth trying.

Everything was perfect!I came with my family on a Saturday, timing was perfect, food was really good and service was really nice!I recommended it if you’re searching for good Mexican food and not expensive.Thank you!

We ordered several things for the table to share and it was all amazing and delicious 😋. The service was great and the food came out quickly! Highly recommended.

One of the best burritos Ive had in my life

Awesome atmosphere, great service, and tasty food. The pull pork tostada was amazeballs

Excellent food...best tacos and burritos Ive had. Cocktails were so good

Went here with my coworker yesterday. We really enjoyed the food. We had the avocado tacos and Mexican street corn. The drinks were good too. We had the Montauk margarita. The waiter was friendly but a bit slow. The space is very small and not easy to walk around with all the tables practically on top of each other. Anyway, we still enjoyed ourselves.

Classic Nachos are best, Tacos are good, I feel they can have few more options in vegetarian options when replacing meat. However the taste of food is really good

BLACK PEOPLE DONT EAT HERE. Server was very pushy about getting my order and he kept bumping into my table.. this place is entirely too small. The server also handed my check and said I’m a very rude way that “the tip was not included to which he stood over me and watched what I tipped.. I asked why he had to point out that the tip was not included as most places don’t include a tip for a table of one (mind you it was a only myself at the table) I felt like he didn’t think I was going to tip because I was black. As the waiter was a POC I was very disheartened to spend almost $100 and to be treated like dirt.

Great food for a casual place. Service was awesome and great fancy drinks. Food was unexpectedly amazingly delish considering how casual the place is. Service was great too.

Awesome Mexican bbq food and good margaritas all served by a gr8 staff! Cant wait to get back there after all these months of craving their food.

Delicious! Try the lobster taco, the best Ive ever tasted and the drinks are mix pretty well. Great for lunch or after work.

Always delicious food! Easy for modifications and allergy friendly options.

Great atmosphere and blanco shots are quite smooth.Jam burrito is the way to go if you’re going to order a burrito.

Evidently the menu has drastically changed since I last came here a few months ago. Extremely disappointed that pretty much all of the amazing old vegetarian options are now gone. And you cant mix and match tacos anymore - you can only get an order that comes with several of the same type.Since there is no longer much for me to eat here, guess I wont be coming back. Its a shame though, since it used to be a great place for our mixed group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians to meet up. And alas, the old tacos were amazing. The charred broccoli will always have a special place in my heart. 😢 Dont know how someone could think getting rid of that was a good idea.

Good Mexican food available here … seafood is tasty .Nice ambiance and reasonable prices

Good price, good food.... Reserve!!

Decent Mexican food at a fair price.

I have visited this location multiple times and always had amazing service. However, this recent visit left me appalled. Our server, Marissa, displayed unprofessional and upsetting behavior regarding her tip.Due to financial constraints, we left a tip that was lower than average. Marissa took it upon herself to harass my friend and me about it, making side comments like, ‘I could’ve taken another table instead of you.’ As we were leaving, she turned to a coworker and said, ‘This much of a tip is ******* ridiculous,’ loud enough for us to hear.This behavior made us extremely uncomfortable and completely ruined our experience. Gratitude is voluntary, yet Marissa made us feel obligated beyond what we could afford. This lack of professionalism was disappointing, and I was very tempted to ask for my tip back.Sadly, I cannot recommend this branch again based on this experience.

Delicious Brisket Tacos, quality server who paid attention to detail, and nice atmosphere for a Friday late lunch. Even had quizzo games you can play with dinner mates. 👍👍

I loved the food and atmosphere. Margaritas are lovely from here and they have a pitcher option. Great for family style meals with friends or business meetings. They made splitting the check super easy which was super nice. Definitely worth the money and time ❤️

Good enough food, attentive service. Spicy is not spicy at all.

A very pleasent surprise. Group of 7 and all were pleased with their order. The smoky margarita was excellent. Not a huge space, outside seating available - at least on a cool November evening. A little loud, in a fun way. Our waitress was great and all staff seemed nice. If you are comfortable with the prices, recommended!

Excellent Jalapeño margaritas and welcoming staff. We hoped for cheese enchiladas, which we couldn’t find in walking distance of Time Square.

Tasty food and kind employees but it was a bit expensive and we waited a bit :)

We are from out of town and this was near our hotel in Times Square. Absolutely the best restaurant we had during our weekend stay in NYC. Food was great! And the bartender Dominique (I hope I am getting his name right) was one of the more personable and better bartenders I’ve ever dealt with. Definitely recommend this place

Loved the brisket grilled taco! Very tasty and flavorful. This place used to be better though honestly. They removed a lot of item from there menu like the sliders. The waiters are also like zombies. They move and talk like they doing me a favor bringing me food. I couldn’t hear my waiter at all. Speak up especially when you have a mask on! Will not be coming back unfortunately.

Had lunch today. Food was a little pricey but what you expect from a tourist area. Service was ok too, the waitress was very nice and attentive & she also was the bar tender. Also she came over to our table because her shift was going to end so we had to pay. I have had better Mexican food but like I say food was ok. Nothing to brag about. Restaurant lighting was not the greatest but ok. Restaurant had no food rating posted at door. In all the food was ok.

Seasonal marg with pear was the star of the show!

Really good! Probably one of the best meals I had during my visit to NYC. Portions were ample, seasoning on point, and flavors were amazing. Service was pretty good, but I got the feeling theyre understaffed coming out of the pandemic. Would definitely recommend to anyone in Times Square area looking for a tasty, affordable meal.

Enjoyed a group dinner this weekend and we had a great time. Space was a little tight but the atmosphere was nice and the staff was kind. The food was delicious and there is a lot of variety of different food allergies and preferences.

The tacos are so good! We were 8 people and a toddler, we had a great time. Well come back for sure

Really Nice place to drink a pichet of Margarita & eat delicious tortillas

Food was fresh and tasty. Drinks were reasonably priced and very good. They have a nice happy hour menu! Service was a little slow, but it was a good experience.

Found online and looked amazing. Super hot day and our family walked over for an early dinner. Inside was practically empty, and we needed only a table for 4 ... did I mention that my son uses a power wheelchair, and has an incredibly well trained service dog? We walked in, and the host acted like he was trying to find a table (again, 90% of them were empty), and then went over to the manager who approached us saying that the NYC Health Code prohibits service dogs from entering restaurants! He would serve us outside but not inside. Weve been dining in incredibly nice restaurants for the last 3 days without one word or glance about the service dog. The manager agreed he was exceptionally behaved and under complete control, and said he did not want to see the certification papers (he was in his service vest as well). I asked to see the health code that supersedes the American with Disabilities Act ... he pretended to try to look it up on his phone but of course never found it. Because it does not exist ... you are allowed to bring certified service dogs in restaurants as long as they are not disruptive, intimidating, or out of control. It was absolutely ridiculous. We have never had anything like this happen.We walked out hurt, insulted and very hungry. So disappointed in the host, management and (apparently) the ownership!

Good vibes, good drinks, great food. Also a good happy hour!

Place is awesome! Nice atmosphere, polite stuff. Good food. First our taco was delicious, second one was good but not good as first one. If menu will be with pictures it will be easier to choose)

First time trying this place and I’ll probably never go back. Sarah M gave me a dirty look after handing me my take out & also charged me $5 extra for guacamole that they never included. I was polite while ordering and only asked for assistance on what to order because I’m pescatarian and wanted a burrito. They told me a kid’s burrito would come with beans, rice, cheese, onions, etc. along with fish. All I got was rice, cheese, & fish, a small dash of some crème (I guess was the sour cream I asked for?), & two slices of avocado in a cup that I thought was the guacamole I ordered because I couldn’t see through the cup. I asked for chips in my burrito which did come but other then that it was just disappointing. I tipped 25% because I assumed I was going to get good service. Nope. If you’re going to pick and choose who you want to give good service and be kind to, don’t work there.

Excellent!!! Was looking for some good Mexican tacos while in NYC and found this place right off Times Square off 40th and Broadway. Small but nice layout. The nachos were INCREDIBLE!! I also had Cod, Smoky Chicken and Tuna tacos along with grilled corn. All we really tasty and delicious!!! Highly recommendPlease like if this post review was helpful. Enjoy!!

Really loved this place. Excellent tacos and rice bowls. I was there with the kids so I didnt sample any of the cocktails although they looked very good. The pulled pork rice bowl was especially good. The staff were helpful when it came to choosing milder ootions for the kids. I am definitely planning on going back without the little ones.

I recommend booking a timed reservation online before showing up at any Mexicue locations, its super easy and that way youre not left waiting. I find any restaurant in NYC to be super busy, but also going in off times helps. We got here around 1pm for our reservation, and sat down immediately outside. It really wasnt busy at all, even though we were there on a Saturday. The outdoor seating needs to be adjusted, we were whacked by the plastic liners the entire time we were out there, each time cars passed they blew around and even knocked over my water bottle. I understand the need for the liners, but they absolutely need to be secured to protect customers. Otherwise, we had a great experience and loved everything we had. The verde salsa was one of the best verdes Ive ever had, the mac and cheese was great, cornbread superb, and they do a good job on their bowls. Also, the drinks were perfect and had plenty of alcohol. Our waiter and waitress were super nice as well. Just hope to see them get the plastic liners fixed!

The food was good but nothing spectacular. The tacos are extremely small for $7-8 each. I Did receive good customer service from the waiter. I Would return again but not eager to based on what I experienced..

Tried many of the tacos and they were all delicious! Staff is super nice.

We got a table immediately and the service was fast, and the food was delicious. My only complaint is that our waiter did not clarify to us when happy hour had ended - he simply asked if we wanted another margarita, and then charged us full price (over twice as much) for the second round. Given that we didnt even have a happy hour menu at our table clarifying prices or hours, I found that disingenuous.

Found on our second day in NY, absolutely brilliant restaurant, staff really friendly, food fabulous.

Food was delicious. Had the guacamole and chips, pulled pork rice bowl, lobster tacos and avocado and chicken slider - all dishes were fresh and tasty - left the place really satisfied.Only downside was that the place was understaffed for a Saturday night. Waitresses were trying their best to attend but service was a bit slow.

DELICIOUS AND AFFORDABLE!!

Food tastes great. Its a pricey place with $5/$6 tacos. I’ll stick to my local shop that’s $2 each and tastes just as good. The bullet burritos are good but super small. I can probably eat 2 and a half. We really liked the nachos with guacamole and salsa. The place has a good vibe and atmosphere.

Waited almost an hour, got cold food, was asked to move to a different table after already waiting for almost an hour for our food, ordered one drink that was tasty pretty and decorated then ordered a second one that no effort was put into, didnt have the same fruits or flowers on it as previous, nor did it taste the same. No onions on the cold tacos. Manager says they will take tacos off the bill in the end charge for it of course. So waited an hour for cold tacos, service terrible, manager fake friendly made us uncomfortable. bye felicia. Never going back to this location again..

AMAZING! Different and amazing! Definitely recommend! I will be back too!

Service was very good! Drinks and food are good but not exceptional! Ive tried a bunch of different tacos and cocktails over few visits. Nothing to complain about, but also, nothing to particularly rave about. The specific location has too much of a coffee shop vibe.

I only came for a drink which proved to be a mistake. The spicy margarita was terrible! I had spicy margaritas before and this was the worse. It had no alcoholic taste. It was quite bitter and It made me vomit soon afterward.

Nice place to eat, European customers take note! Payment is not always possible, so make sure you have cash.

Great margaritas especially if you catch them during their happy hour...service is usually good. If you are looking for a quick bite or drink, definitely a good place. I wont recommend this for nice dinner or date as it is bit on the casual side....

One of the better Mexican places to go to in NYC. For the price and the food, I thought it was fair. The drinks were $10-$11. The burrito was good. They were pretty generous with the chips and salsa. It’s a casual spot for decent food in a really touristy area. I’m glad we walked in and gave this place a try.

It seems that Mexicue recently changed its menu and this was disappointing- particularly the crispy chicken tacos…which were not at all crispy, and a kind of burnt. This was unlike the consistent Mexicue experience that I was expecting.The spicy guac was still as tasty as ever!

Really loved this location and their offerings! Came here with my cousin after work and was seated beside the window, adjacent to one-another. The food options are mixed, with a good selection to choose from. We ordered appetizers, the nachos, which were topped with black beans and queso. For the entree, I got a burrito-bullet, but opted for the larger size which was more filling.Definitely a great restaurant with competitive prices for New York.

Went there for lunch on a Saturday. Semi busy, service a little slow but food was good. Only problem the hot sause, which was NOT hot at all sadly.

It was my first time at Mexicue. But we decided to go there because my wife used to work near by and she would go there very often. We sat outside since the weather was nice. We ordered two drinks first. My wifes margarita was really good but.my mojito didnt have any alcohol at all so I asked the waiter to add some more tequila. She did not do it right away but after the second time I approached her she finally did. The food was fresh and delicious. If you need some extra sauce you got to ask the waiter. There was none on our table.

Good food, tasty drinks, and friendly service. The poblano queso and brisket enchiladas were delicious and generous portions.The space is WAY too packed. It was hard to get out and navigate through the tables.

Really tasty Mexican food. The restaurant has a nice big open space that makes the meal an enjoyable casual experience.Particularly recommend the taco salad with grilled chicken. Service was quick.

We are on vacation from Orlando, FL & are staying across the street. Your food was delicious, especially the nachos! Loved them so much...ordered a 2nd round! The restaurant is so quaint & has some really great vibes. Only downside was that we didn’t try it soon enough!

What a disappointment, we came regularly, tonight for the happy hour, waitress not pleasant, not smiling, we did not want to give tips, at the time of settlement, she subtracted us 20$ as a tip, during our complaint, the manager validated the behavior of her waitress. Shame, we will not return again. I dont recommend anymore. Too bad!! !

I visited Mexicue on 5 de mayo the wait was about 45 min to an hour. I went to Times Square and got back in time to be seated. The food was absolutely delicious i had a margarita with pineapple in it. I dont really like Margaritas but it had pineapple in it and it was tasty. The hostess was also very sweet on this hectic day she complimented my plaid pants. I will be returning. It gets 4 stars because of the wait.

Fun atmosphere and great food. Our server was awesome and made our table of visitors feel welcome and comfortable. We all had the daily drink special, several of them- it was also good. The only negative about the place is that the Google Maps directions were just awful! But its totally worth wandering around looking like a tourist to find it.

I’ve gone to this location 3 times and every time I leave unsatisfied with the service and drinks. I specifically go for happy hour and the waiters there are lazy and have attitude. The margaritas are more juice than alcohol. I always have to ask if they can make the drinks a little stronger and they have an attitude about it. The Mexicue by Flatiron is 100% better, the waiters there are the sweetest and the drinks are better.

The food is amazing, esp the picadillo tacos. The place is always packed so plan to wait for a seat (its worth waiting, though, and you usually dont wait too long). Double check your bill though- they like to charge for 2 tacos instead of the plate. Its only a dollar difference, but its annoying. I still go, though. Theyre darn good tacos.

Food was delicious and filling. Paid $40 (tip included) for a nacho plate, bullet burrito, and jambalaya. Service was pleasant and helpful, but somewhat slow. To be fair, we were here on a packed Thursday night. There was also loud music playing. That and the crowd were enough to induce a mild headache. You may want to reconsider if youre looking for a quiet and intimate dining experience.

Visiting from Houston, Texas, my expectations were not high as Mexican food in NYC is usually bad compared to what Im used to, but this place was a nice surprise. I was in the mood for vegetarian tacos, and I ordered the avocado taco and the charred broccoli. We also ordered some chips and black bean dip. They were actually really good. Only took off one star cause service wasnt the best, but not bad enough to not return. I recommend trying if you are a vegetarian!

Gluten-free designations on the menu. I had delicious chicken tacos. They were a little small but fairly inexpensive. I had a very good mezcal based mixed drink (actually I had two.) It was mid week in December when I went for dinner and it was wicked crowed. I was able to find a spot in the window, but the groups of 3+ were in for a long wait. I would definitely go back.

We got lucky not having to wait. This place was quite hyped to us and unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the bar set. Was unique to eat beetroot in a burrito, just not something we enjoyed.

Nice cozy place. Delicious tacos and good variety of options. Since they have small tacos, it’s easy to try different ones. We tried blackberry and house margaritas and both were very good.Very close to Bryant Park.

Small place but clean and made up for it with their awesome food. My girlfriend and I sat at the bar and the bartender was quick to start us with drinks but was pretty slow on followup drinks and clearing our empty plates. This was mainly due to him being the only bartender and making all of the drinks for everyone during happy hour. We had the grilled street corn, nachos w/ Mexicue chili, and the fancy radish chips with guacamole. All was delicious and had a wonderful taste. We had ordered the guacamole with jalapenos, however they either gave us regular guacamole or didnt put enough jalapenos in it to even get a hint of heat. Portion sizes were good too, not too big and felt adequately priced for happy hour.

Amazing experience, from the hostess to the waiter, who gave great recommendations and were very friendly.Great drinks (customisable if desired) and superb food! Definitely need to come and try them out while in New York city!!

Mediocre. The drinks were good but that’s about it. The food was eh, the service was pretty bad. Attitude & there’s a table right by the bathroom they should probably just remove. It was disturbing having to smell it while you’re eating and everyone is in and out of the bathroom. Literally your chair would be touching the door to the bathroom.

We got lucky to get seated without a wait! Ordered some cocktails & tacos and all were delicious! The location we went to had great decor and ambience as well as friendly service. They make a great margarita! The menu is inclusive too, we were able to find good vegetarian + dairy free options and certain items were open to modifications.

The food is pretty excellent, especially the brisket anything with additional spicy BBQ sauce. The place is pretty cool too with a solid tequila selection. 1 star docked for not adequate setup for lunch hour rush.

Mexicue has an interesting pull to its name - theyve grown from a food truck to a restaurant chain in NYC and specialize in a unique char grilled Mexican food.I had somewhat high expectations in terms of uniqueness of the taste and overall experience, but it was somehow just above average. They have some delicious items in the menu - the foursome dip with charred guac, poblano queso, black bean dip & salsa with loaded slightly thick nacho chips, smoked chicken tacos, Nashville hot chicken tacos, grilled tacos, pulled pork/shrooms, golden avocado, burritos, tequila drinks and more - something for everyone!Taste wise, it was fine, didnt have a yumm factor and felt like something was missing. The queso was a bit too salty. The flavors werent starring on their own & somehow were lost in the blend of ingredients. At $8 a taco, its tad expensive.Service is good - prompt and courteous. I would probably give Mexicue another shot, but just as another decent Mexican food joint.

Worst restaurant experience Ive had in a long time. A group of us came for happy hour. As expected, our IDs and vaccine cards were check at the door. Everyone at the table ordered drinks. 10 mins later a manager comes and asks to see our IDs. Some girls had their ID images with their vaccine cards images on an app but forgot their physical ID copy. Then rudely stated to us that was not allowed and a physical copy is needed and told some people of our party they were not allowed to drink. We wanted to leave but immediately after, they brought drinks to the table to those who were allowed as if they made the drinks already but then asked for our IDs. It made for a terrible happy hour experience where some of us had a drink and some were just sitting there. If that is your policy, that is fine, but why was that not told to us when we were having our IDs checked at the door? OR BEFORE we ordered drinks?? Complete waste of our time.

EXTREMELY disappointed. My husband and I frequent the Chelsea location so when friends were in town and were around Times Square we suggested Mexicue for dinner and were so excited to share one of our favorite restaurants with them. All 4 of our orders were wrong. All four separate people. I ordered a margarita and it never showed up. One of the people joining us ordered a soda and when it came the rim of the glass was visibly dirty. All around a horrible experience and I’m very disheartened that we vouched so highly of this place. Not to mention the atmosphere is much more of a drop in and shove a bunch of people in a small space vs a well functioning, well laid out restaurant. To top everything else off, there was no functioning restroom in the entire restaurant. I will not under any circumstances ever come back to this location and highly suggest that management take control or shut it down completely because it is giving “Mexicue” a terrible name.

Bar is happening. Great food. Happy, quick setting. Fashion district...where one often needs a quick martini or marg. Easy and happy.

Food was good. I got 3 different kinds of tacos. Brisket ones were the best in my opinion. Can be a little pricey but I think its worth it.

Delightful green and wood interior. Hibiscus passionfruit drink very well balanced - perfect spice to sweet, unlike every other drink that has pineapple in it, youre not hit over the head with pineapple. Garden guac was delicious and how wonderful to find fresh veggies! Servers were friendly and helpful.My only possible complaint could be that it was just so loud but what could I expect of a smallish full restaurant. The bar is 6 seat but they also have a 4 seat window bar.

Love the delicious food and wonderful service. I prefer the ambiance at the 5th Ave location

Every bite was delicious. The ambience was great and service was awesome. Would definitely return

Fantastic food that was reasonably priced. Staff were really attentive and there was a great ambience to the restaurant. A great option for a cheaper high-quality meal near Times Square.

Amazing food!! This place was awesome. Such good fresh modern food. Loved it!!

DO NOT GO HERE! We came in and the hostess tried to sit us in the back where it was already packed full of people and then denied us sitting by the windows but then ended up giving it to us anyways and then the place is hella expensive 18$ for 2 tacos?! Never again also don’t try and give them any specific instructions because they’ll just disregard it entirely!

Nice and so delicious Mexican food. Staff so nice to recommend us about food. Great place to visit.

The food oh boy the food is soooo yummy. I had a jump shrimp, brisk and chicken taco. All individual, and all were soooo gooood. They pack on the meat and the flavor will have you coming back for more.

If you happen to be stuck near Times Square and its past 9 p.m. this place is a good option. Prices are reasonable and the menu is varied. Tacos werent the usual boring fare but interesting and good. The drink menu has lots of tequila options.

This is a very nice Restaurant and bar. I was here for New Years Eve and had an wonderful time. There was Cuban band live music of very good quality, notably the singer/pianist. We were greated at the entrance by a very cheerful and nice doorman who helped us make our way in the crowd and even helped us order from the barman. I was a huge fan of the cocktails, very surprising and original. I never drank some like them. They had a lot of different spices in them. Very happy about my New Years Eve!

2 servers working one that was friendly, other mostly seen in the back Atta being friendly, but not friendly on the floor. Food was disappointing for the price. I didnt really care for the food I received. The margaritas were great. I would have had another if I sat at a table with the attentive server

Service and atmosphere were great! The margaritas and food were tasty. We loved the burnt ends and nachos. The food could have been a little warmer.

I almost never leave reviews ...even when an establishment deserves a 0 star. However, Mexicue earned my 5-star review! The wait staff was incredible and the food amazing! Thank you Mexicue for celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary with us. Could not have picked a better place to enjoy dinner with my wife and 3 kids! (Visiting from Michigan)

I love Mexicues Cuisine, I devour the Brisket Nachos and the Guacamole is delicious. Staff is great and attentive coming around with water every 5-10 min

Great service, great flavor, great portion size. Love the a la cart menu!

I dont have anything good to say about Mexicue. The staff was pretty rude from the time we walked in. They were standing in a circle talking and it took them about a solid two minutes to finish their conversation and take us to our seats. I can deal with lousy staff if the food is good enough, but unfortunately its not good.We ordered four tacos, a burrito, and nachos. Not a single item was tasty. Considering the food is overpriced, youd expect it to be good. Wrong. The tacos were soggy, the burrito fell apart, and our nachos were cold.I will not be returning to Mexicue, nor will I recommend this place.

Horrible. I called to place a large order for my monthly companys lunch. A lunch, keep in mind, that would have fed 100 people - so a good chunk of business! I called with plenty of time, over a week in advance, and they assured me that that would be ample for what I was requesting. The woman I had emailed first in catering responded to me right away saying that she would get back to me with pricing that Friday. By Monday the following week, I had still heard no response so I called her office throughout the day. No answer. I called the restaurant and spoke to another gentlemen there who acted like he had never really heard of her and gave me the number that he hoped was right - which was the number to her office. By Tuesday morning, I had called and left a voicemail. Called that afternoon and she finally picked up with no explanation as to why she hadnt returned my calls and said she would get the pricing over to me immediately. It is now Thursday and still have not heard from her. I will DEFINITELY be taking my business elsewhere. Why would you ignore business that would have paid you for feeding 100 people....irritated.

Ive been by this place before and didnt stop because the main board has only alcohol posted. This time they had a menu outside and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the pseudo tapas style approach to Mexican food. You could get a taco, burrito and slider sized perfectly for one person. Normally you order one or the other but not all three. They have some entree options as well. Burnt end chili nachos were a hit for my husband. My margarita was uniquely good. I really liked my jamburrito (hope I got that right). Ill be back in my next visit to NY!
