We brought 6 of us for the tasting menu. It was our second visit and won’t be our last. All I can say is SO MUCH FOOD! By the time the main course came we were already full. Great variety, spice and exceptional quality. Wish there was more room - but that’s NYC. Tight quarters. Our waiter (Anthony) was a repeat from our last visit. It seems we always come on his birthday week. He’s terrific.

A Greenwich Village landmark with delicious, varied and ample Tex Mex food and delicious, varied and ample libations. Service is friendly and efficient and I suspect that the restaurant's Cow Girl interior can't be found anywhere else except for cowgirl country.
