Kuxé - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"We first experienced Kuxé in the spring, during the height of catch-up and resocialization season. And we discovered that it’s a great place to meet up with a friend, spend some time in an outdoor hut, and share some guacamole and a few margaritas. The Greenwich Village spot also highlights who on staff came up with the recipe for each dish, along with a short blurb about their inspiration. While scanning the menu, we learned that the large chicken milanesa cemita with stringy quesillo cheese was head chef Juan Velazco’s favorite birthday meal growing up. In addition to this fact already inspiring our own celebratory plans, we’re glad to see a restaurant so transparently give credit on a dish-by-dish basis. Plus, some of the descriptions might even provide you with some conversation material that’s not just rehashing what you think of Nicole Kidman’s latest “breathtaking” performance. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

A Return to Indigenous Mexican Cooking in New York City

"Kuxé, a restaurant in Greenwich Village opened by chef Julian Medina, focuses on honoring Indigenous recipes by using pre-Hispanic ingredients like corn, moles, chiles, and nopales. The restaurant prepares Indigenous ingredients in familiar ways to help guests understand them better, making masa for tortillas and other dishes using a traditional molino and nixtamalization. Kuxé's menu highlights village cooking and recipes from the team members, showcasing the depth of Indigenous Mexican cuisine." - Marisel Salazar

Everything was delicious! The beef brisket tacos were a highlight. Nachos were also the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend. Service was great too. Very good value for money considering portions and quality.

Exactly what we were looking for. The group had said we wanted a low-key, bright Mexican spot-that also had to be good. This place checked all the boxes, bustling place, with lots of people and good music and good food. Not amazing food, but good. Affordable prices and a bright atmosphere.

Good food and tasty drinks. Somewhat pricey though for tacos. The bill came out to $200 for 4 people. We were seated outside and only one side had heat. It was dim too. Wish they lit the little candle at the center of the table. We lit it ourselves but it died right away. The service was great.

Cozy Mexican spot in Greenwich. Everything on the menu was delicious so come with an appetite. Appetizers portions are good for a group of 3-4, if your group is bigger I suggest ordering 2 of each. Tacos come as 2 with a single tortilla wrap. The sauces and pickled onions were amazing toppings to add to anything on the menu. Definitely a great time with fantastic service for the dine In experience

Amazing boozy brunch 🥂 the frozen margaritas were strong, but hard to drink because they were so cold...the bloody Mary’s were nice and spicy and the mango mimosas were tasty too! Anna was the BEST server; super attentive and her suggestions were great! Started with the Rojo, Spicy Guacamole - flavorful with a nice kick! Our table ordered the Carne Asada con Huevo, Camaron Tacos, and Carne Asada Tacos for brunch and everything was delicious. The poached eggs and steak were cooked to perfection. The tacos were filled with a generous amount of meat/shrimp, making them a bit messy to eat. The rice that accompanied the tacos had a unique flavor, we couldn’t pin point what it was, but it was good. Will definitely brunch here again!

We went out and we all had a sweet tooth. We decided to go in for dessert. We were seated quickly, and the staff was super friendly. We each order another dessert to share with each other. We were pleasantly pleased with the freshness and how delicious each plate was. We will definitely go again to try the menu next time.

We had the best nachos and drinks here on Cinco de Mayo celebrating our friends independence. 10/10 would recommend.

The food and service here are so great! This is traditional Mexican food. Everyone we spoke to was so nice and attentive. They have outdoor seating that is all separate and super nice. We had 2 cocktails each, the birria tacos, Chile relleno, and churros. Everything is priced super fair and we will definitely be back.
