Margaritas

Skip the food and just have a liquid dinner. Awesome margaritas!

Mama Margarita Madness

It can be tight. It can be cramped. It can be loud. But it's always great food and drinks. One mama margarita and you're good to go for the evening. The mama burrito and enchiladas suizas are also particularly good.

Next Door Magazines Favorite Mexican

This is one of the few Mexican restaurants with a trendy scene, great food, and even better margaritas. A rare find that is truly enjoyable. There are always hotties in the restaurant. Right in the heart of Hells Kitchen!

Best Margaritas in Midtown

I love this place. We go like twice a week and I always leave happier than when I came in because of their huge margaritas.

THE BEST LATIN DINNER PARTY IN NEW YORK CITY!

By far the BEST MARGARITAS in town. From the sexy Bartenders, hosts and wait staff, an outstanding venue of music, food and booze. Great ambiance, great crowd. Live DJ on Friday and Saturday nights.
