Awesome happy hour spot steps from Penn Station and MSG! The Margaritas are amazing! Plus Lucy's has a great rooftop setting! Awesome place!

The nachos with steak were amazing! Also even if your plate doesn't include chipotle ketchup, I would ask for some. It goes great with all dishes.

This is a wonderful place for a date or hanging out with friends.Do go upstairs to enjoy the view! Heated lamps are amazing to keep you warm.Fish tacos and beergaritas are a must!

Full of commuters during the week – but you should still stop in and try their Cactus Rose or Baja Iced Tea cocktails, which should be enjoyed outside on the patio!

Prices are in line with the average restaurant in the area. Food was tasty and service was acceptable. Got crowded around happy hour and is around the corner from Penn Station and the Garden.

BE WARNED: Party's of two should not take on this beast without the help of strangers. But it is truly amazing so wrangle up three great friends and enjoy the night!

I made an article on our blog about this place, i went there and really loved the athmosphere and the drinks but i thought the service was terrible ! please visit https://beanewyorker.wordpress.com

Crowded with young professionals when the weather is nice. Price is as high as you'd expect in the area, and beer has been sub-par.
Anna RepoleApril 23, 2016
Get the beergarita and chips and salsa! The tacos are so small - not worth the price.

Great vibe! Calamari is awesome! Mike Murphy on the vocals can't go wrong
Ailie ChangFebruary 12, 2015
Try the Grilled Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa and the La Casa Salad.
Mark CoatesMay 17, 2010
The "all-that-and-a-bag-o-chips" is pretty good. White paper bag full of tortilla crisps and 2 salsas + guacamole. Yummy and cheap! If you're gonna drink, you gotta eat...
Michael KimJuly 7, 2015
Great view in the summer, but the glass bomb fishbowl doesn't have much liquor...
Jackie LamMarch 13, 2012
This place is self-seated during lunch. It's quite a nice place to eat especially if you are rushing through lunch alone.
Chelsea SoltusFebruary 27, 2012
Try the paper bag chips with the tequila salsa! Goes great with Coronas! great happy hour too.
Shiv HiraJuly 19, 2011
Never gets the street cred it deserves given its so close to penn station. But my friends the wings are good and so are the burritos
Karl With A "K"August 5, 2016
Love the buffalo sliders here! 🍔🍔🍔
Amol KAugust 11, 2015
It's fairly cheap and close to Penn Station/MSG if you need to go there after
Hany YoussefMarch 21, 2018
Great roof top bar/restaurant
MicheleJuly 23, 2015
It was difficult to get served on the patio so don't expect to get in and out quickly here. I would suggest coming for drinks, not food

Great drinks especially on the rooftop. Decent Mexican food
Chris TurnerFebruary 8, 2012
Friendly staff, were happy to serve food at almost midnight. Chicken Nachos - very nice!
Taylor WebbSeptember 11, 2014
Love this place. The drinks are strong. Try the steak quesadilla.
Jeremy VerderaMay 18, 2016
Fun game: see who can finish the Spicy Blue Daisy first :P if you dare...
Alexander McRaeAugust 25, 2014
Great quesodillas, margaritas, and guacamole. Sit on the roof!
Jaime-Lynn MuratoreAugust 5, 2014
Very busy place great atmosphere and the guac is amazing!!

Great for b&t commuters and Santacon schmucks. Otherwise avoid.
Alex BarringerJuly 10, 2016
Nachos are good. Frozen margaritas are decent as well.
amNewYorkSeptember 27, 2011
Frozen margaritas ($9) are served year-round, and heat lamps can keep you toasty.
Kimmie OhhDecember 5, 2019
For drinks, get a frozen margarita or a beergarita :)
TripleJ18October 12, 2014
Been here twice & both times horrendous service. Waitress can't understand English, she was super slow, TV was waaaay too loud and she argued with us over an extra cup of salsa for our quesadilla

My sister hated this place. They have some horrible service. They gave our drinks to another table, took a long time to bring our food and didn't bring my sister her chipotle mayo. Good drinks tho
Maria GranadosApril 6, 2015
Below average Mexican food. Delicious passion fruit margarita and definitely good for happy hour. Just spend money on food elsewhere.
Emily EganMarch 1, 2013
Fast service; delicious food (burritos, nachos); HUGE beergaritas. Dig in!

The beergarita is a must.

They need to hire waitresses whobcan speak and understand English to deal with customers. Chipotle makes much better quesadillas! Horrible!
Joao Veloso JrNovember 9, 2016
Good environment and service/ terrible beer
