Our Guestbook
“ Service was great but food was just okay. The best part of our meal was the guacamole and chips. It was a little too loud but there's also a bar in the middle so it was okay I guess, went at dinner, could barely hear each other across our tiny table. ”
“ I like the ambiance here - it's a fun and festive atmosphere. Good steak tacos, shrimp tacos, chicken tinga tacos. I also like the churros with chocolate sauce, margaritas, and sangria. Decent prices and good service with plenty of outdoor seating. ”
“ Had a great tacos and skirt steak with friends so good and the drink is so refreshing , love it and reasonable price, staff is excellent and friendly ”
“ The burritos are thick in diameter and well stuffed. The burrito was delicious the first time I visited and just decent the second time. They also bring chips and salsa for the table. The space is a little cramped and can get loud, so it's not the ideal date spot. ”
“ Beat Mexican food in NYC I've been coming here for 10 years, very happy with the service. The food is so delicious ”
“ Based on my experience I disagree with this 3.4 stars on Yelp. This place is bomb!! No wait, servers were nice and checked in on us frequently. -Pescado/battered Baja style fish tacos were my favorite. Fish was so crispy on the outside and buttery and flakey on the inside and I loved the red cabbage it came with. -Bistec/grilled steak tacos were also delicious. Meat cooked well. -La Mitotera salad had a great variety of healthy greens and tasted great in combination -Tres Leches was amazing. So moist and not too sweet and the bananas were a perfect ripeness ”
“ There comes a time when you think to yourself, been there, done that. Yet, sometimes you have a dining experience, and you say, WOW. El Mitote gave me the wow factor. El Mitote hits on all levels. The restaurant itself has a very festive vibe. If I'm ever in the area, either at the Lincoln Square AMC or the Lincoln Center, El Mitote will now be a mandatory stop. The food, service, music, and festive atmosphere combine to make for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend you stop in and get a taste of just about anything on their menu; it is all so damn good. ”
