Cuerno

A true authentic Mexican culinary experience! Vibrant sauces with truly a lot of flavor followed by smokey hotness for even the most sensitive to spice - different heat levels for everyone to enjoy. The meat was perfectly cooked, had a great crust, and fire-lit smoked flavor. And finally the dessert was the perfect size for a light sweet finish! Every ingredient had its own back story and our waiter JP was awesome at explaining what to expect. Great for date nights and friendly group dinners.

I had an absolutely wonderful time at Cuerno! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm atmosphere and attentive service. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, very big plus for NYC! The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh and carefully selected. The ambiance was cozy and elegant — perfect for a date night, family dinner, or special celebration. I especially appreciated the attention for all the detail. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, genuine hospitality, and a memorable night out. I’ll definitely be back!

Cuerno is the kind of place that reminds you why you love going out to eat. The food is rich in flavor and clearly made with care — from the handmade tortillas to the perfectly grilled steak. The service is next-level: warm, attentive, and thoughtful without being overbearing. And the atmosphere? Elegant but inviting, with details that feel both refined and rooted in Mexican tradition. You can tell every element was chosen with purpose. Can’t wait to come back — this one’s a gem.

Cuerno New York is, without a doubt, the ultimate expression of true Mexican fine dining in the city. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance, attention to detail, and warm hospitality set a completely new standard for service in New York. The staff is not only professional but genuinely welcoming, something you rarely see at this level. The menu is a celebration of authentic Mexican cuisine, with every dish full of flavor, beautifully plated, and generously portioned. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but everything we tried was outstanding. The cocktail program is equally impressive, especially their incredible variety of tequilas and mezcals. It’s one of the most extensive and well presented selections you’ll find in the city. For the quality of food, drinks, and service, the value is exceptional. Cuerno is a must visit for anyone wanting to experience the elegance and depth of Mexican gastronomy in the heart of New York.

Brand New Mexican restaurant in Midtown, of course I had to try it. I was excited to support a new spot, but unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing and potentially dangerous. You can check my other reviews!, I rarely leave one-star ratings. It takes a serious level of negligence for me to do so. Why doesn’t the menu list that the carnitas tacos contain seafood? This wasn’t a subtle ingredient…it was squid ink. That’s a serious allergen, and nowhere on the menu was it disclosed. I had no way of knowing, and no way of preventing the reaction myself. My seafood allergy was clearly noted on Resy, yet it was ignored. There’s no excuse for that kind of oversight, and no indication that my allergy info was communicated to the bar. I caught it on the first bite, thankfully, but had I reacted more severely, this could’ve been a medical emergency. I tried to stay calm (and avoid throwing up at the bar), but this was completely unacceptable. This kind of mistake could have ended very differently for someone else. Being a new restaurant doesn’t excuse lapses in basic safety and communication. After discussing it with my legal team, I chose not to pursue further action. I truly want to see new places succeed. But that doesn’t lessen the seriousness of what happened. Also: • A runner mistakenly served chicharrón de pulpo to me. • I waited 20 minutes for my tortilla soup. • My entrée arrived before my appetizer. While the staff were polite in the moment, that doesn’t make it right. I hope this review prompts a serious evaluation of your allergy protocols and service flow.

Had the opportunity to enjoy an outstanding dinner last night. Simple well thougout northern Mexican food. From the doorman, to the hostess and servers the service was top notch. Definitely the bar has been set on NYC first Mexican steakhouse. Saludos a René, José y el resto del equipo por el excelente servicio.

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in NY. It’s the closest thing to feeling like I’m back in Mexico City or Monterey. The short rib is one of the best I’ve ever had. The home made salsas are spectacular and the service is incredible!

Every bite transported me straight to Mexico—authentic, bursting with flavor, and served with the kind of hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere was inviting, the ingredients were fresh, and each dish was a celebration of tradition and care. Easily one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Highly recommended!
