Fun Happy Hour – Went to dinner with some girlfriends on Wednesday at Calico Jacks and had a fun time. The space is pretty large and accomodates both Happy Hour and Dinner patrons. We only had appetizers which were pretty average. The guacamole could have been a little better but that is only my preference. Everyone there seems to enjoy the happy hour. For $7 you can drink unlimited until 7 pm and they have other fun specials. The crowd was mixed which is great and the DJ played great music. The sangria was awesome and the s... read more

Impressed--for only a few dolares – I'm originally from Southern CA, so i would like to think I'm very familiar of how Mexican cuisine should taste like. After being increasingly disappointed by so many Mexican restaurants in NYC, I decided that great Mexican food the way I like it simply doesn't exist here on the East Coast. Went to a gathering here and I was skeptical, but kept an open mind. The margaritas were FANTASTIC, the staff SUPER friendly, and the guacamole AMAZING, and my entree was very tasty!! It's not pricey, j... read more

Mexican Food? Where? – No, no, no, and finally, no. This place is hardly worth the effort as a restaurant or a bar. Avoid at all costs before it becomes into Coyote Ugly Part II. Actually on second thought, a name change from Calico Jack's to Coyote Ugly isn't a bad idea. Sadly, this place is too "ugly" for that. Crowded, the deafening music, and subpar service don't make for a good night out.

Much Better than Expected – A good time for lunch or happy hour. Great drink prices during lunch and the margaritas definitely have a kick. After work draws a good crowd - mostly 20s & 30s woth the occasional scummy local. Good to go with a group or alone.

Margarita Madness – In sum.the freshest guacamole, the best margaritas (try the prickly pear margarita) great food, for lunch, happy hour or dinner, and a great fun, festive place to be! I love going in the winter, check your coat at the door, because you'll feel like you are miles away from cold NYC! The salsa is very good also. Most places it tastes watered down, but here it is great!

Yummy drunk fun – Great margaritas in a city where most are all sour mix. And the burritos are awesome too! I thought the only places to get good Mexican were the pricy restaurants, I was happily surprised. It's a great place to meet for an outta control happy hour, or a dinner that can evolve into a great night!

Fun Fun! – Great music! Old-school hip-hop like Biggy Smalls to current popular music. Food was fine. People were young. Overall, fun place!

great night out – Though the food is quite ordinal, this place becomes quite a good night out spot after hour. Rather than waiting to get in to the Vue, try Calico Jack for a little dancing experience! Its dance floor is limited, but DJ spins great music.
