Default low rating. I will have to actually experience the restaurant another time. We had confirmed reservations and arrived to find the restaurant closed for vacation. There were several other groups with reservations who arrived when we did.

Nice view of Hudson River. Good food and drink!

Tacos & Maduros- delicious! Empanadas- The flavor of the filling was lost, just tasted overly fried. Cocktails were watered down. And not much shade on a sunny day- the umbrellas don’t tilt so the sun is directly in your face if you sit facing the water at certain times of the day. Staff was friendly.

Intriguing taco concepts and some items were very good. However some things were a complete miss. Guacamole was not blended well and there was one big chunk that was about 3 inches around. Made it hard to share. Sangria tasted like cough syrup. I am a big sangria fan and have been to Spain several times. That was not Sangria. Really syrupy. Uch. I was excited for Ceviche, that was not ceviche. shrimp with no flavor other than lime. Don't recommend the ceviche, Churros had too much sugar on them and the chocolate was basically Hershey milk chocolate pudding, Not all all the dark rich chocolate drink that is served with Churros. I would tell people to take advantage of the unusual tacos and the riverside atmosphere. Beware of the sickly sweet drinks and the guacamole is not blended. One big chunk.

The atmosphere was very nice. Server was helpful, courteous, and professional. The menu could have gluten free selection. We were told when making the reservation that it did. When we arrived we had to compromise. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Thanks to our server. She made the difference!

We ate outside on the patio. Friday evenings they have live music that was very good. The food was excellent. The service was great and I will definately be eating there again!

Our server was great! She was attentive yet, gave us our space to socialize and dine. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. We enjoyed the sunset and views from where we were sitting.

On a warm breezy day we sat underneath a tree. Enjoyed ourselves. Food was good but the prices are great.

Not typical authentic Mexican. Guac didn't taste freshly made. Food in general was on the bland side and when we requested if they had any kind red/green chili sauce, we were told it would cost extra. Worth it to give the meal the "kick" it needed.

Service was awful: we actually made a booking but no table was set aside for us, hostess forgot to come back seat us and provide us with menus, side plates or cutlery, we had 2 wait staff come past and say they would be back and they didn’t so we called over a 3rd (whose table it actually was) to place our order. It took me complaining to the hostess to get crockery and cutlery and our drinks. Food was awful: we ordered chips and salsa to start but the salsa that arrived was more tomato and water - we asked for hot sauce to give it some taste which took so long to arrive, we hardly had any as we were almost finished. We each ordered 2 tacos. They arrived on a huge aluminum platter, just lined up. 4 tiny tacos in this huge platter without any explanation from the individual who delivered them to the table. By the time we got our cutlery and crockery, they were cold and congealed. Even the addition of some hot sauce couldn’t save them. The red sangria was good but arrived late and was not on the house as promised. We didn’t bother trying to order dessert. We were not the only table having issues. An all-round failure from the service to the food. If the food was good, we would have been a lot more accommodating as we know good help is hard to find right now. Absolutely not worth the money!
