Tacuba Cantina Mexicana

LOVED this restaurant. As soon as we walked in the host was warm and welcoming. He asked where we wanted to sit and we wanted a booth but then decided it was too close to the door on a cold rainy day. He understood completely and we were seated at another booth. The service: amazing! The waitress was smiling and kind, she was more than willing to answer questions and did not rush us at all. The busboys too, I HATE having my empty plate sit in front of me forever when I am quite obviously finished (the food is so could have licked my plate clean, but that would be uncouth). The drinks: I had a frozen mango margarita and it was delicious. The Food: absolutely amazing. We had the guacamole of course, it was very good (a little nitpick, but too cold for my liking). We also ordered the sweet plantains for the table, yummy. The entrees were so so good and the portions are very generous, I am still full. I had the Carne Asada and it was mouthwatering good, and cooked to perfection. I usually eat dessert, but shockingly I just did not have the room for dessert, the dessert menu had extremely tempting choices but I just couldn't eat anymore. The ambience: great, I love the decor. The tables and bar were nice. There was one extremely loud group, they may have been drunk, but who acts like that in public at 1:30 in the afternoon? Anyway, that is not the restaurants fault and I'm sure it was annoying to them as it was to us. Short story: Again, I absolutely loved it. I was very happy to take a card and see that they have Desktop another restaurant in Hells Kitchen as I live on the Upper West Side. I will definitely be visiting that location and doing it soon. I just hope the host, the ambience and the food are just as good as this one.

The ceviche is very deceiving: a big jar of tomato sauce with a bunch of random vegetables and three shrimps. The steak fajitas (fajitas de alambre) was incredibly disappointing: literally three pieces of steak, a bunch of random vegetables swimming in a deep pool of fat. No rhyme or reason, or flavor. I did ask before I ordered about size and portions. Server was unable to give md a proper answer, clearly she didn’t know. The place is not even that impressive, so honestly I don’t know why the prices are so high. There are lots of other places that are more price-friendly than this one. I can’t recommend this place at all

This place is awesome it big and the music was good to my ears. It was a good place to take your date or by yourself.

One of my Favorite Restaurants ever But after todays quick visit, they just lost two loyal customers thanks to the new manager Ana, who wouldn’t stop harassing me and my partner about my 6 Month Puppy who is a Certified Support Animal with all documentations needed to Dine in and by law could not turn us away. Very disappointed in removing this gem of establishment from my go to spots. All other staff was and always have been polite and attentive to us with great attitude.

Es muy buena pero esta un poco caro

AMAZING! we went for Valentine's Day and loved it... The service was good ...food was great. They had a mariachi singing.
