We were really in the mood for some good, not-too-overly priced Mexican food and stumbled upon this place on yelp.
We were given a table for two inside the dining room, which was actually quite large and nicely decorated without being over the top. The lights strung overhead were a nice intimate touch, as were the white table cloths on the tables. Chips and salsa arrived immediately and they were amazing. Crazy good smooth salsa and chips that weren't overly greasy. They even brought out another batch without asking.
As for drinks, the $11 house margarita was served in a large goblet style wine glass. Strong and not too sweet. The drink menu looked decent, but I'm always a sucker for the house cocktails.
For food, the duck breast burrito was everything I wanted and more. A pretty large portion stuffed full of tender duck breast, topped with a dark and delicious mole sauce and served with rice and guacamole. Amazing and a great deal. Chicken fajitas were also top notch – served sizzling with plenty of onions and peppers.
The service was quick and efficient, although I did feel at times they were a bit on top of us. Not in a rude way, but just in an overly helpful way.
Overall, a great, better-than-most Mexican place on the UES. Will definitely be coming back.
Nice atmosphere, hostess was lovely, very helpful and sweet. Food was good, priced fairly. Nothing jumped out at me to make me come back, but it was a pleasant experience all told.
I love this place! The ambience and staff is super nice. The dishes are incredible but I have to say that I always order the same. The shrimp appetizer that is as generous as any entree. Get it! It's delicious, it comes with plantains, mango, peanuts, amazing flavor.
Then the fajitas are a must. Meat, vegetable or shrimp out doesn't matter. From the tortillas to the guacamole everything is great.
When I crave Mexican I go to Canyon Road
Canyon is a go to spot and the best. Service food and warm comfortable ambiance – all wonderful.
The servers and chef/ manager Ruperto are so friendly.
The ambiance and decor is very warm, homey and inviting.
The food is excellent. They have a happy hour with flavored margaritas and various dishes including my favorite -an incredible seafood burrito mmmm. Their guacamole is among my favorites, and they also make fantastic fajitas.
They also make my Mezcel margaritas amazingly well and a fab skinny margarita.
I've brought everyone from family, friends, out of town guests, dates… Even a group of marathon runners from PA after the NYC marathon. And everyone has always loved the atmosphere and food. You feel comfortable and at home whether in the front bar area or the restaurant dining area . Their Margaritas have a special something that bring out the best conversations and the best chill times here 😀
Highly recommend. This is thee goto Mexican spot Ues.
I know this place opens at 5pm every day. Since it is a holiday, I thought they maybe serving brunch. I called, the gentleman who answered the phone said, "Yes, we're open now!" Great. So, we get ready and make the trek over. When we get there, the place is full. We're approached and told that they are closed for a private event. It would have been really helpful if the man who answered the phone would have told us they were not, in fact, open to the public and only for a private party.
Came in here on a Saturday afternoon answering the call for a margarita. It was completely empty minus a couple people sitting at the bar but clearly this place has not yet been discovered because it was so so good. I had a couple spicy jalapeno margaritas which were so fresh and delicious. They make the guacamole at the table to taste and it was so good and the serving size was generous. Finally got the steak fajitas and they were sizzling to perfection and big enough to share for two. I will definitely be back!
It gets very crowded & loud, but the food and drinks are great. My favorite is their swordfish, which is cooked perfectly with like a barbecue / chipolte glaze. It's delish. And pretty carb friendly, with spinach and grilled corn & onion salad. This is a great place in the neighborhood.
This place was great, and it's a cute spot for a night out for two. I was at first cautious and almost didn't go because of the 3 star reviews, but this place deserves much more credit.
The tacos, cocktails or sangria are must haves. I tried the fajitas and they were great too! The service was phenomenal, the ambiance was quiet with dimly lit tables.
I had a great experience and will certainly be back fo' mo'.
