“ Still lovely as ever. The bartender was very attentive without hovering. They had a new dish, "The Machete" meant to be shared. Although good, I think I'll be sticking to my birra tacos in the future! The team is always kind and attentive when it comes to food allergies. ”
“ Just south of Union Square Tortaria is a cute Mexican joint with a relaxed vibe. Pretty decorated interior with disposable bowls and cutlery give this an interesting mix between a restaurant and a to-go spot. I absolutely HATE the paper straws, such a pain to use after 5 minutes. Food was delicious, I opted for the crispy Eggplant bowl. I also tried the ginger margarita which was really nice. The menu has a great range of items with something for everyone. They are quite busy on a weekend night so consider making a reservation if you plan to come with more then one person or opt to sit at the bar. ”
“ Good mexican food with a fun ambiance. It's weird how they bring the food in little cardboard containers. The food is good, but not necessarily great. I do like the drinks and it goes well with the food. There are some breakfast options that I like here. The service has been reliable and I the outdoor seating is nice. ”
“ Wandering around with the homies on a friday night after leaving another event and settled on this spot and very happy we did that too. Comfort food, drinks, and good service. No complaints at all and I'll emphasize the food because it tasted like Abuela was in the back throwing down for us so I actually wanna come back for another meal rather than a chill drink spot. I'm in this area often so I will be a regular here moving fwd. ”
“ This place has a fun and aesthetic interior. There was also an outdoor dining space and we sat in the inside by an open window. The staff was nice and friendly. There were a lot of food options to choose from. I ordered a chicken dish that came with delicious fries and salsa as a dip. Definitely recommend checking out with friends. ”
“ Tortaria is somewhat of an institution and it does a decent job of serving up Mexican food and with bar drinks. It's very casual, it's very quick and appears to have a large NYU following. My dish had a decent amount of chicken and the flavors meshed well together. Great spot to hang with friends and drink a margarita or three. It is festive without too over the top. ”
“ Came here for some post-work happy hour margs w/ coworkers and it is the perfect spot for that. Lowkey atmosphere, a little cramped but not too bad compared to other bars in the area. The photo I took does NOT do this justice but I might just have to say that these could be the best tacos I've ever had. Cauliflower tacos for all my veggie friends out there - an absolute must. Chips and guac came with absolutely ample chips in a way I haven't seen a restaurant do in quite some time. Food came out super fast but in a way that didn't make us feel rushed. Will 1000% be back. ”
“ Spicy Watermelon Margarita Pitcher 9.79/10- this was honestly phenomenal. It was so refreshing and actually made a good amount of cocktails (I want to say ~12). They gave us tajin rimmed glasses which was so cute and the perfect touch to a spicy marg Guac and chips 9.66/10- this guac was actually so good. It was so fresh and had a citrusy/zesty taste to it. We also got the large guac! They have a regular size too and we honestly thought the large guac wouldn't be enough because our server gave us an approximate size difference, but it was more than enough. The tortilla chips were also pretty good, they were fresh. They gave us a bunch of salsas too and I think queso? All the salsas and queso? were really good This was a really chill place, they have a bunch of different flavor options for margarita pitchers which is great. Apparently the foods also really good but our main focus was pitchers and guac lol. They also have outdoor seating which is great during summer time. ”
