About this business

Editorial fromDiablo Royale is a playful take on the Mexican concept of the Devil as a merry prankster: The inferno-esque red glow behind the cozy bar area is one tip-off, as are the 666 printed on the waitstaff's shirts and the voodoo-themed bodega…

What happened??! – I first discovered Diablo while strolling around that area with some friends about a month ago. We went in, the atmosphere is good and cute. We had so much fun. Food is great, especially the ribs and tacos. The al pastor and fish are to die for. Yum.....it's a must have. Margaritas are delicious but a bit pricey. Nonetheless, I told myself I have to bring more friends here next time. So I went there again last week with some friends from out of town. What had happened? The food has gone downhill and so dis... read more

West Village gem – I love Diablo. Their tacos (I like shrimp or fish) are absolutely delicious, and reasonably prcied for how good they are. I recommend coming here for either dinner or drinks. The margaritas are stiff and delicious and the queso fundido with chorizo is a good choice if you're just stopping in for a snack. The bartenders are really friendly as well. Also, the location can't be beat.

Hip, upscale Mexican place – I've been here several times now, and I enjoy it more each time I go. I highly recommend the fish tacos (grilled or fried are both pretty good - you can get a three taco sampler and try one of each). I also recommend drinking the "Michelada" - Negro Modelo beer poured into a salt-rimmed glass filled with lime juice, ice cubes and a couple dashes of hot sauce. It's oddly refreshing. The joint can get pretty crowded on weekends, and very noisy - but I've never had to wait that long for a table.

Diablo Royal Flush Down the Toilet! – The only thing desirable about this place is it's location. Besides that, it's cramped, over priced and short on the booze list. If you plan to go there to simply drink don't bother...if you don't eat they don't want you. We got appetizers and planned to tie one on, but I guess this wasn't suitable for these guys. They took our menu away with a huff, took out appetizer plates before we were finished and we had to wait 15 minutes in between drinks. The waitress and host were also condesce... read more

Go for the Drinks, not for the Food – I have lived in Southern Cali and Arizona long enough to know good Mexican food. This isn't it. And it is way over priced for below average food. The Guac is almost laughable. I think they just take store bought bottles of guac and add chilli to it if you order it spicey. I know Canadians who make better guac. The food is flavorless and runny. I am not sure why it's so runny. It's not cheese or sauce. It's like grey matter. On the other hand, the drinks are phenomenal. This is really the... read more

Splendid Cinco!!! – Wanted to give this restaurant a huge thumbs UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I came in over the weekend for a bike race and wanted to celebrate cinco at a mexican venue. To my surprise I waled into a little piece of mexican heaven, w/ a touch of the devil. I had a really great time. I waited a bit, due to the cinco crowd, but the atmosphere, drinks, and door guy kept me laughing!! Guac good, atmosphere awesome, chorizo and chicken tacos great! i look 4ward to getting back before next may.

Rude Management Ruins Margaritas – It was cinco de mayo. It was a sunny saturday afternoon. My friend and I arrived around 2:30 and waited nearly 1/2 an hour before anyone came by to take our drink order. Thereafter, we ordered new rounds every time our waiter came by and we also ordered meals. Our enjoyment of the food was brought to a screeching halt by the presence of a gigantic hair that made its way into my friend's mouth before she noticed it. We did not make a scene, but ditched our food and promptly ordered another r... read more

still my favorite mexican cantina – I used to go to Diablo all the time, great food, killer Diablo Ricky's (frozen margy and dos equis in a pint glass), super nice cute staff, and a vibe that just kind of transports you to warm climate no matter what time of year. I moved!!! I used to live right around the corner... Well last Wednesday I was back in the neighborhood and you know what, Diablo hasnt changed one bit!!! It still rocks!!! and rocks hard!!! If you've never been, go get a Ricky a Baja Fried Fish Taco and some Guac,... read more
