Cuerno

From the moment we stepped into Cuerno NYC, the experience was flawless. The warm welcome immediately made us feel at home, and the atmosphere was as inviting as it was beautiful. The food was simply phenomenal—starting with the salsas and homemade tortilla chips that tasted authentically like Mexico. For starters, we tried the Taco Richie, Taco Taquero, and octopus—all superb in flavor and presentation. Our entrées, the rib eye and the grilled octopus with esquites and mashed potatoes, were equally spectacular, cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. To finish, we indulged in the Campechana cake, which was nothing short of unparalleled. Hospitality at Cuerno is truly outstanding. Our waiter Daniel went above and beyond, attentive to every detail. Jonathan, the General Manager, and Marlon, the Assistant General Manager, both stopped by to ensure we were having a wonderful experience. Their genuine care and thoughtfulness elevated the evening even more. As a special touch, they sent us home with salsas and, to my delight, Marlon gifted us a box of Pulparindos after I shared how they reminded me of my childhood—a gesture that meant so much. Cuerno NYC is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience that transports you straight to Mexico. Flawless service, superb flavors, and spectacular hospitality make it truly unparalleled.

This Mexican steakhouse located in the Time-Life building in Rockefeller Center has only been open for a few months. I've been able to go twice and have been impressed. When you enter the restaurant you are immediately greeted with a broad smile. Once you are seated at your table the good vibes continue with personable and knowledgeable servers. You will then be given complimentary tortilla chips with five excellent salsas. This is a great start to the experience especially if you enjoy it with one of their tasty margaritas. I highly recommend their ribeye but also don't overlook their fish options. My favorite dessert is the mango asado, it is outstanding. The restaurant has an attractive bar area, nice outdoor seating and is bi-level.

First time at Cuerno NYC and we had an absolutely amazing experience! The restaurant is beautiful with a great ambiance, the drinks were delicious, and the food was probably the best Mexican cuisine I’ve ever had. Service was outstanding as well—friendly and attentive. Truly an 11/10 experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Had a wonderful time here! Atmosphere is airy and fresh, yet cozy at the same time. Service is impeccable; our waiter was attentive and his knowledge and suggestions really enhanced our experience. The food was phenomenal and unique as well. The arrachera norteña may be the best steak I’ve had, and the chocolate cake was to die for. Highly recommend!

We really wanted to like this place; but were really disappointed. The space itself is really nice, and the staff was great; but the food was a huge letdown. We ordered the Chicharrón de Pulpo, Taco Taquero, and Tacos Callejeros. We actually came here specifically to try the taco taquero, and that was the thing we liked the least. There was barely any bone marrow in it - we actually couldn't taste it at all, and if there was a blind taste test against some of the cheaper taco places like los tacos, we probably wouldn't choose this one. The meat itself was not seasoned enough. It was a strange experience - texturally, it was meaty, but we couldn't really TASTE the meat. For $38 for 3 tacos, this was a huge letdown. We liked the tacos callerjeros a little better; but it's drenched in sauce, so if you don't eat it all right away, the tortillas get super soggy. Our favorite item was actually the octopus. It had good texture and flavor. We had really hoped that getting some beef tacos at a steakhouse would be an elevated taco experience; but unfortunately, it was not.

Truly delightful meal…definitely going to be one of my go too’s…few blocks from home. My waiter JP was fantastic. Loved one of the sauces so much I got to take some home. The food was very flavorful…had me doing a little happy dance after every bite. I’d give it 100 stars if I could! Telling everyone about this place. Can’t wait to come back!

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 came to this place for tacos and good wine and I stayed for the great music and rejoiced in the excellent service. I am from the north part of Mexico and this place is truly authentic seriously authentic food, savory salsas and be careful with the “piquin” salsas they are spicy! I can’t say enough good things about food. We had a portobella taco al pastor style and tacos callejeros. We have to come back for more food. Great selection of Mexican wines and international as well.

This was a phenomenal experience through and through. I seriously could not stop eating the complementary chips and salsa that was provided, as the housemade salsas were divine! The dishes were also amazing, and all relatively large portions! I loved the taco taquero and the pescafo zarandeado, very unique takes! Service was also well on point; it was not a busy night but the servers were super engaged and gave everyone a free cocktail at the end!

A culinary delight! Everything was exceptional... The food, the service, the drinks all hit the mark and exceeded expectations. As a Texan it is hard to find Mexican food outside of Texas that makes an impression, but Cuerno leaves a mark that will not be forgotten. First, thank you Fredy for taking care of us last night. Your recommendations and attentiveness were very much appreciated. As for the drinks, the Paloma was refreshing and I requested an Old Fashioned with Don Julio Reposado and they nailed it! There were three shining stars during our visit: First, you should not miss the Coliflor Trufa Habanero! This dish is the absolute best cauliflower dish I have ever experienced! The flavors in this dish are well balanced and unique. Again, this is a must try! Secondly, the Arrachera Nortena paired with the Pura de Papa are two menu items you should not pass up. I know a lot of people come here for the Tomahawk Steak and if you need that to feel special then go for it, but if you want a delectable piece of meat at a very reasonable price, then try the Arrachera Nortena. The Pure de Papa is a unique side that is light and fluffy topped with a crema to balance out the flavor profile of the potatoes. This side will go well with any of their steaks, so don't miss it! We ended the meal with the Campechana, which is a multifaceted creation that has a little something for everyone. Ice cream, puff pastry and caramel all put together in a presentation that is impressive. Note: This dessert is worth a solo visit if you are just looking for an after show dessert that is unique. Cuerno, keep doing what you are doing! We will be back

I came today without reservations for myself and they were very accommodating which I appreciated. I got the complimentary "chips and dip" no cutlery, no napkin. When I am given the cutlery I had to ask someone else for a napkin. Those items should come together and since I was a party of one it should come quickly. I ordered the Ceviche Tostada which was tasty as an appetizer. My main course was supposed to be grilled branzino, there was no way that fish was grilled with soft skin, and no grill marks. It tasted as if it were broiled and grilled as advertised. Thoroughly disappointed since Monday I had grilled branzino at Oceana and it was prepared perfectly. Once my meal was complete I had to wait 11 minutes for dessert which was tasteless - fruit plate and vanilla whipped cream. I came to see if I could recommend Cuerno to my C-Level bankers who dine out often with our clients. Sadly I cannot. Perhaps I will come back, but the jury is still out about that. The photo probably would have helped my point of broiled versus grilled but I was so disappointed with the presentation and taste that I forgot.

Great new spot in the Theater District! We walked in for lunch and were seated right away. The space is beautiful with lots of natural light. Staff was super accommodating when we mentioned we had a show. The cauliflower appetizer was flavorful and delicious. We had the grilled octopus and ribeye--both cooked perfectly. Wish we had time for dessert--next time for sure!

This is a great place to have drinks with your coworker at the bar. The restaurant is gorgeous and packed with people meeting up for drinks after work. I had dinner with my friends and the food was really good. The tacos are excellent. The tomahawk steak fed four hungry girls and the cocktails were yummy. Great place to hang out with your friends. I would suggest sitting downstairs if you would like to have a nice quiet conversation with your guests. Upstairs is LOUD.

We had dinner here last night celebrating a friend's birthday. Everything from drinks at the bar to the dessert was fabulous. The tacos, steaks and sides were so delicious. Our waiter, Mauricio, was top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant experience!!

The Taco Taquero bone marrow tacos aren't worth the money so skip those and get regular tacos. The Corazón de Filete filet mignon was great and the Pastel de Campechanas (traditional Mexican puff pastry, vanilla ice cream, pecans, dulce de leche) dessert was incredible! Very nice atmosphere and service. Not too loud. Will definitely go back!

The food taste like if you were in Mexico. it was amazing. The service was good the staff very nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place.

I've been to Cuerno multiple times and have been impressed each time. The food and ambience is great (next time I want to try their outdoor seating) and drinks are delicious. Definitely save room for the pastel de camp ganas (though the chocolate cake is yum as well)!

Do not come here. I went for my birthday and we were violently ill from food poisoning afterwards. Also tried to call the restaurant and could not reach someone to address this issue.

Well we, a party of 10 went to Cuervo for dinner this past Saturday 8/23. Just when you think an establishment was already great, we were pleasantly pleased to see a great thing rise to a beautiful leave of superb. From the moment we entered we were greeted by Marcella a dear who escorted us to the perfect table for ten, round with a lazy Susan so we could all interact with each other. Just the beginning , here comes Dyana which we adore, greeted us with her beautiful smile and remembered our diet issues and preferences. And the fun begins with delicious trays of the best Mexican salsa's and the most amazing home made triangles of delish corn also know as chips but in this case too good to be called chips, that said at least 4-5 trays were devoured by all. Oh, here comes the tequila bar, run by the talented Ernesto, also the beverage director, he asked what we liked and suggested Casa Noble, absolutely divine, smooth and delicious, even the non tequila drinkers were in awe, yummm. Then came the apps chicharron de pulpo, crudo de hamachi, guacamole and ?? all gone and hummed about. Next more deliciousness, Tacos callejero ,gringa portobello, tacos vaquero,ribeye a la sal, Corazon de fillete, pescado zarandeado, fideo de poro asado, papas ajillo, ensalada cuerno, tortilla soup :) happy happy were we, but there's more, yes the desserts, also all devoured because we were already full. and last but not least, Tobais who gave us his undivided attention throughout the evening, making sure we had everything we needed. I know it's a lot to take in and I could have made it shorter but really how could I. Exceptional in every area. food made with love, staff who love being a part of this great experience, why not. Thank you to all

Can't describe how much I enjoyed the food. It was like never being to a nice place before. Not my first fancy experience but this one felt different. Went for the bone marrow tacos. Amazing. Best for a couple of you ask me. You will enjoy
