   If you are from the suburbs and have eaten at any chain “Mexican” restaurant, you have also eaten here. But this is much louder.

   Super loud. Food was mediocre at best. Tuna taco was spoiled - could smell bad fish when it came onto the table- and all waiter did was tell me he took it off the bill!! Wait staff kept clearing condiments off table even though there were other tables with guests still eating. Good taco Tuesday deal but food has to at least be decent!

   Disappointingly average. Service was slow & then waiter was disinterested. Food was lukewarm and boring. We asked for 2 more beers that never came. We paid & left. Will not return.

   Play Bettys is such a go-to. Need a nice outdoor space with friends? Check. A chill vibe, friendly staff. Check. And Whether you need just a couple margs or some great mexican beach eats - they have such a decent variety! I have also come here solo in between errands on the weekend and its such a delight. Such a fan!

   Service was horrendous! Food was ok and drinks were ok. Would have been a much better experience If they actually served the tables and gave more attention to customers instead of all the employees trying to have a good time with each other. Never going back.

   I was very disappointed and may not return again after my experience last night. After making a reservation for a work event more than 2 weeks ago for outdoor dining experience, and then confirming said outdoor reservation the night before, we were seated inside. The waitress told us outdoor dining was more of a request, which is rediculous. Don't have this as an option for reservations if you can't actually reserve outdoor seating! I was very uncomfortable eating indoors as the pandemic still rages and I am an at risk individual, however I had no where else to seat my entire team so we were forced to eat inside. And even after that it took over 30 minutes for someone to take our appetizer order and then another hour before food order. In previous experiences at this place with my same work team, we have been served 3 to 4 rounds of drinks, appetizers, and dinner and been done in 1.5 to 2 hours during their packed Taco Tuesday nights. This 3 hour dining experience left alot to be desired.

    we had a 7pm reservation, they took me to my table, but people were sitting there? then said it would be another 20-30min. check in at 7:30pm, they say another 20-30 min. Check back in at 8pm and they seat us but tell us we cannot order food as the kitchen is backed up so we just ordered chips and some drinks. The drinks came but the chips never did so we left around 9pm. literally the worst experience.

    My friend and I had a reasonable time, and I’m glad to have checked out this popular neighborhood spot, but it was very very loud in there. Staff was very nice, but honestly it’s as much a bar as a restaurant and as I said it was very very loud. Of course it was Saturday night and a party atmosphere so it was fun.

    Solid drinks, good food at a reasonable price, great service, fantastic location next to the Beacon for pre show, and bit loud, but other than that a great spot not far from the park on the UWS.

    We had the taco trio and chicken enchiladas and the food was great. We had the guacamole appetizer which was wonderful because it came with fixings so you could doctor it up to your liking. The drinks were good and the server was friendly and very helpful. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!

    I came here with a few friends on sunday evening for my birthday. We had a wonderful time sitting outside enjoying queso (FINALLY found a place that does it right in NYC, excited southerners here), margs, and delicious entrees. The quality of the food was great for a decent price. I live in Brooklyn and came all the way out for some queso if that tells you anything!

    It's a neighborhood place with reliable tacos, queso and guac. Fantastic frozen Paloma margarita. One request: pls don't put the salt down the edge of the glass. No need to French kiss the glass in order to reach that addictive spicy salt. Keep it on the rim - and ALL around the rim please. Less is not more.

    The pounding noise level was one step lower than "dance club." The food was O.K. -- average salad, average guacamole, decent cocktails and club sandwich. But the horror was that the old-fashioned white enamel tray on which the sandwich came was rusted all over. They had a piece of foil on top of it the base that did not cover it fully, and when I lifted the sandwich I was gobsmacked to see the rust. Never in my long life have I seen anything like it. And there was no way to complain, beyond getting up and walking across to the hostess station. That's because phone-app ordering takes the place of a waiter, with runners delivering the food. This may be the trend, but the problem is, if something is wrong (my salad arrived with no dressing, for one), there is no one to fix it--no button on the app to say "I have a problem."

    Bottomless brunch is shorter than others but they also don’t serve as frequent as you would like either. The food was good, their service has been better in slower days

    I love this place for the frozen palomas and queso. Everything else is just ok. I’m a Texan and I’ve had better in the city. The restaurant seems to never have the heat on and has a weird ordering system. I keep wishing everything would get a little better, bc there’s so much potential.

    Took my younger brother here for lunch so he can experience something new compared to his usual NY hamburgers and pizza diet. He thought it was great and enjoyed the food very much. Definitely going back for brunch.
