Absolutely AMAZING!!! A fabulous mezcal drink...FULANG CHANG. Not too heavy, light & perfect. The vibe is quant, pretty & comfortable. The bartender Joseph was extremely knowledgeable & friendly. We told him our likes & dislikes and he steered us in the right direction!! I highly recommend!! We will definitely be back!!!

To Yelp or not to Yelp that is the question. So some backstory first because I've decided to Yelp it up. I was attending a trade show at Javits Center and the PR Team for the event invited some of their VIP exhibitors and friends in the media out to Kahlo for a special networking Happy Hour on the events second day. As I am always interested in knowing my reps better and getting potential website content out of exhibitor meetups, I could not resist at all. Plus I was going to be on the hungry side after exploring the convention center for a few hours and I had never been to Kahlo before. The restaurant is right on 29th Street a few minutes walk from Javits and has a decent sized space to it. Coat check in the front and then numerous tables on either side and down the center of the room with the bar directly in the rear right next to the kitchen. The group had convened to this section for the Happy Hour and since I don't drink alcohol I was hoping that the bartender could craft a tasty mocktail for me. I didn't catch what he called it but it was pinkish in hue if I saw it correctly in the light and quite tasty. I forgot to ask for limited ice because I'd rather have more drink than lots of ice. Perhaps it was a non-alcoholic mojito or a non-tequila sunrise. Either way, it was tasty and I had a couple of them to compliment the finger foods. The servers kept the attendees fed with tasty bites that featured small lobster rolls, tacos, potato tots with some kind of spicy sauce, steak bites and some sort of corn appetizer in a sauce served with a spoon. While I was glad to taste all of them as they went around, I found myself enjoying the lobster rolls, tacos and the little steak bites the most. They also had a salsa dip on each of the small standing tables with wonderful tortilla chips. I need to find out where they get these provided they are not made in house. I did review the menu prices of the main courses and appetizers and while they appeared to be a little pricy, this was nothing too out of the ordinary for a NYC located restaurant. I will say that 29th Street off 11th Avenue is a bit off the beaten path for more but you can walk a few blocks from the 7 train or the C line and of course Uber anyplace if your budget permits. Traditionally I don't head to places like this in the city since my own neighborhood has so many spots that serve a similar fare. A minor downside was no available WiFi and while they said they didn't have one working I saw it on the mobile so it must have been for transactions only. Today this kind of stuff is commonplace so I hope more find themselves creating customer accessible accounts because it let's that social media notification happen and potentially help the establishments overall existence. I'd come back here and sit and properly dine and relax but I cannot determine when that will be at all. Give them a try if you trust my opinions because what I did have for this Happy Hour was very good.

I got the Kahlo & Rivera guacamole, tuna tostadas, grilled octopus, and the Mr. xoloti cocktail. The guac was sooo good. It tasted super fresh, and the mango relish in it was amazing. The chips were also good. The tuna tostadas were mid. They had way too much cabbage. They came with 4 mini tostadas (only 2 are pictured). The pieces of tuna were really small and thin. It needed something more. It was hard to eat because it was supposed to be finger food but fell apart when u tried to pick it up and there was just wayyy too much cabbage. The octopus was also mid. It was too chewy. It was served with potatoes and they didn't go very well with the octopus and it felt like they just put random stuff with it. The Mr. Xoloti cocktail was great. Super smoky and spicy, and not too sweet. The server was awesome. The vibes were good. She gave us two shots at the end of the night.

Amazingly delicious! My husband recommended 6 stars to do it justice! We tried two of the guacamoles, street corn, several specialty cocktails and six entrees. Just above and beyond in terms of flavor.

Such a beautiful and elaborate building. I have to say entering the restaurant you see everyone enjoying their meals and the staff at the tables. For my experience, it was a group of 8 of us, and it was so hard to hear each other over the music and all the other conversations happening around us. It's a huge open room so I guess it's expected. Drinks were definitely a bit pricey and not strong enough, great selections, but eh. The food was very delicious, and they kept the chips and salsa coming. SALSA WAS BOMB AF. I needed to take some home. Servers were getting food orders mixed up and as the night went on it took longer for them to fill our water and get drinks. I don't recommend for large parties.

Pros: Guacamole is amazing, chips have a nice spice, and I love the decor: particularly the disco ball and chandelier. Our server was very nice. Cons: Didn't know they'd have a limited menu, and was disappointed bc I'd been looking forward to esquites and empanadas--I was going to have the veg one and my boyfriend the meats. The limited menu was super limited in its veggie options and I ended up having guacamole and veg crudite for dinner. They did bring around samples of the esquites which was a fun touch. I wanted about 10 more. There was a DJ for the anniversary party but no one sound checked them and it was constantly giving loud feedback during our visit. I'd give this place another try because the people were nice and the food seems promising.

We made a reservation here for a late Sunday brunch and were pleasantly surprised by the vibrant decor, the great service, and the delicious food. We absolutely devoured our entrées hence the only pictures I got was of our appetizer (guacamole and chips) and the complimentary horchata "shots" at the end, paired with some chocolate. I love the garnish of mango in the guacamole. The chips were seasoned with some type of chili or spice, which was a nice touch. For the entrées, we ordered the chilaquiles and the enchiladas with mole. They were kind enough to make the chilaquiles without chicken. Both entrées were massive. I couldn't finish my enchiladas, which they boxed up for me nicely. We were so full that we regretfully had no room for dessert but we will be back!

The food here is SENSATIONAL !!! Literally had a bit of everything because I couldn't choose !! Soo many delicious options and I'm happy I did because I LOVED every single dish I tried especially the tacos Everything is seasoned soooo well and packs a punch of flavor !! Truly delicious food

My friend lives down the block so we came here for drinks and I fell in love! Come here Thursday - Sunday dinner time to have an incredible experience with the bartender Jeremy who made me a custom cocktail with dark plantation rum that was out of this world!! (Pineapple strawberry daq to be exact!) I did not have the food but I cannot wait to come back to try this fine dining Mexican cuisine...the menu looked ELITE!!! Music was a vibe and the bar was small but inviting. Met another young woman who came solo and met new friends so whether you come by yourself or with friends, you will feel at home In this cute intimate setting.
