What a waste of money – I went w/a Mexicana from Chicago. It didn't start off on a good note because there was no complimentary chips and salsa - a bad sign! And I ain't payin' $5 for that, ya dig? We had a decent appetizer, but I spent $20 on this combo plate that just didn't move me. My date had a soft taco, which cost $4.95(!) If that was not bad enough, a side of sour cream was $2! In total, bill with drinks and dessert was $69. I've never felt so ripped off in my life. For that kind of money, I could have gone to a nice... read more
Very Good – Once you go inside this restaurant, yuo are automaticly welcomed. The service is very warm and attentive. They will always offer you a smile. In addition the food is delicious. I have gone to many other restaurants but none as perfect as this one.
HIBISCUS HEAVEN – There is one reason alone to visit this restaurant: The Hibiscus Margarita. It's so good it DESERVES to be capitalized. On the plane ride home, I was tapping my veins for the sweet nectar of the gods, for which I knew I'd have to wait years before I had it again. God, the corn is tasty as well. I live in North Carolina; it's been too long since my last moments at La Palapa. All I have for consolation is a postcard I shamelessly took with me to post on my refrigerator in memories of my H.M. and suitcases I h... read more
Saturday Brunch – Stopped in on a Saturday at around 4. Pretty empty, but hey, that's late for brunch. Hostess waved myself and girlfriend to sit wherever we liked. Menus and water right away; no bread, chips, etc, but a trio of salsas set down with water. GF had Mexican rendition of french toast, which was huge, quite crisp on the outside, verging on melted on the inside, w/ cinnamon syrup and sliced banana. I had good (but overpriced at 5) pork taco, side of astounding Mexican cornbread, and lovely cafe de olla. Not bad fo... read more
Absolutely Delicious – No sure why CitySearch has this classified as Italian, because it's Mexican at its best. We stopped in one Saturday for brunch and it was such a pleasant surprise. I had their version of Huevos Rancheros and it really was one of the best things I have ever tasted. The service was friendly and attentive and the room was very cute. My only minor complaint is the traditional Mexican music. Why do they think people want to hear that? It actually detracts from an otherwise sophisticated yet warm vibe. Defin... read more
No Sweet & Sour Mix here!! : ) – Loved it! The margaritas were strong, made with fresh lime. No sweet & sour or powder in the drinks. Just wonderful. The salsas were flavorful and spicy.
No need to travel to the Southwest for great Mexican; head east (of Second Avenue) instead. – The Scene Soothing lighting and casual decor combine to create a calm, low-key atmosphere, with a full bar and outdoor seating. The Food This is the kind of sophisticated Mexican cuisine that should have made inroads in New York long ago. You won't even miss the free all-you-can-eat chips, since there's no point in squandering your appetite on such trifles when you can savor sprightly, tangy seviche instead. Among the entrees, choos... read more
such a disappointment – crap food, the worst margarita i have ever had (choked on the fumes) inattentive service, overpriced, pretentious yuppies. what more could you ask for?
Don't believe the naysayers.... – I'm perplexed by the bad reviews here and wonder if perhaps the chefs are inconsistent. I think it has the best Mexican-REAL Mexican- food I've had in New York, leagues beyond Dos Caminos (overhyped), Miracle Grill (bland and Southwestern, not Mexican) or Veracruz(bland and overpriced), all places that have similar ratings on this site. The decor is stylish with traditional elements. The margaritas were large and delicious, and the salsas and guacamole perfect. My entree-a vegetarian plate w... read more
