The best Margarita in New York City, hands down – I come from the home of Tex-Mex cooking, so my standards for Mexican food are very high. The food here is fresh and good, but I wouldn't say spectacular. What makes it worth its while is the fantastic Blood Orange Margarita which is honestly the best I have ever had - New York and Texas combined! Come here late for some drinks, guacamole, fresh chips, and a taco or two.

So not worth going – A couple of weeks ago a friend and I were seated at a table along the wall; bench on one side, chair on the other. As people began to sit on either side of us I realized I was sitting right on the middle of where two benches met and was constantly getting pinched throughout dinner. As if that wasn't fun enough, the second our plates were cleared the waitress put our bill down to return 5 minutes later and ask us to pay because she was leaving. Something I expect to hear in a diner but not a restaurant...... read more

Overrated – If you want to pay $8 for a (1) toritilla the size of your palm, with three small pieces of cold, fatty steak, than this is the place for you. God forbid you get any of the normal accompaniments that normally come with a taco. If you do, you're looking at a below-average $12 taco. Oh, and the service is terrible.

Fantastic Mexican Food – This restaurant just opened this summer, and I've already been there twice. Both times, the food was fantastic. Creative tacos (you mix and match) and other Mexican fare. Unlike most Mexican restaurants in the city, everything tastes freshly made. Among the best guacamole's I've tasted...served with warmed fresh chips...good margaritas. Service was a bit more spotty...the busboys were fantastic -- very attentive when it came to replenishing chips, removing dishes, but I have to say the waitress servi... read more

Say "No" to Diablo – I should have known by the "666" t-shirts worn by the waiters that i was in for trouble. But against my better judgment, I entered - seduced by the pedigree of the chef. This place was blatantly more concerned about maximizing profit than they were about my dining experience. First, my wife & I were greeted with the restaurant groundrules: $15 minimum per person if you want to eat at a table. Otherwise, you can eat at the bar (It was Saturday afternoon and the place was empty). Bending the rules for us, ... read more

empty,cold, dark restaurant on a charmin – Chex Ma Tante is adorned with photos of celebrities that probably haven't stepped foot into the dining area. The restaurant was empty,except for a bridge and tunnel guy trying too hard to work his charm in the corner and the only entertainment was that the staff managed to mispronounce every french word on the menu. -The wines although reasonably were hardly drinkable. Bizarre techno-french pop music served as background music. A Sheperds Cheese and Tomato Salad was served and the c... read more

Disappointed – Sounded like this was a good place, but I won't be back. The food was OK, the wine marginal, and they kept playing random French elevator music in the background!
