Cons:

  • "The general ambiance is meh."
  • "The space is too tight. Every table is literally 2 inches from each other to a point where it's almost uncomfortable to have a conversation."
  • "For $180, my memory shouldn’t be how tiny and loud and uncomfortable the space was, it should be how great the food was."
  • "An otherwise delicious meal was marred by a tiny uncomfortable experience in a place so loud you can’t hear your companion."
  • "But if it’s in a space that’s too small, it’s not the best restaurant in the world."
  • "THIS PLACE IS REALLY, REALLY LOUD!"
  • "Like an apartment that’s the size of a closet tiny, except 100 people are crammed inside trying to eat, drink and socialize."

Food

Cons:

  • "The nachos were ok."
  • "The rice was over cooked and mushy."
  • "Nopales tasted like they were the pickled ones out of a jar."
  • "The food though, just not great flavor. Especially for this price and these small portions."
  • "The mole again was bland."
  • "We wished the food had more 'wetness' to it. All items felt dry... Less sauces, cremas, etc on all dishes."
  • "The food didn't have depth or complexity of flavor."

Value

  • "Good service and fair prices. We will go back."

  • "The chips with guacamole and the Classic BV Burrito are both recommended."
  • "Try to use cash as they do charge 3.8% CC fees, but they will gladly remove it if you pay cash - I had no problems paying cash."

Cons:

  • "Will never go back. Consumer affairs will be notified regarding this behavior, it’s illegal to add money to customers bill!"
  • "The margaritas are so outrageously overpriced, as is the whole menu."
  • "Only word of warning - the margaritas are potent! Super good but a little goes a long way."
  • "For $180, my memory shouldn’t be how tiny and loud and uncomfortable the space was, it should be how great the food was."
  • "We got a small pitcher of raspberry margaritas for $40 - which I think it too expensive for the small pitcher they give."
  • "But it’s pretty expensive, but what else can you expect from NYC 😅."
  • "Portions were really small and super expensive."
