Ofrenda

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This spot was amazing! The place is super cozy and beautifully decorated, and the vibe makes you feel really comfortable. The staff was super friendly and attentive the whole time. We ordered chicken tacos and guacamole, and the chef (who’s the nicest!) surprised us with fish tacos, sweet plantains with green sauce and cheese, and for dessert a flan with berries—all on the house. Everything was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for great Mexican food and a welcoming atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolute gem in Greenwich Village! Ofrenda has been on our bucket list for a while, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is cozy and vibrant, perfect for a night out. Service was fast, attentive, and super friendly — you really feel taken care of here. The spicy margarita is a must — bold, balanced, and incredibly flavorful. One of the best I’ve had. On the food front, the agua chiles were fresh and zesty, and the shrimp tacos? Absolutely killer. They melt the cheese inside the tortilla — next-level delicious. A total chef’s kiss. Ofrenda easily earns a spot in our regular rotation. Go hungry, and don’t skip the margarita.

I came here with a party of five for happy hour—we were celebrating some good news and looking for a fun place to gather, and Ofrenda did not disappoint. The happy hour offerings are solid and we ended up trying all the margarita flavors. The Smoky Jalapeño Margarita was the standout for me—balanced, spicy, and perfectly mixed. The Cucumber Margarita was super refreshing, though I requested a Tajín rim and it was forgotten. The Passionfruit Margarita and Prickly Pear Margarita were very sweet—great if you like that kind of profile. I appreciated the different rim options overall, and the regular salt rim is always a classic. For food, we started with the chicken quesadilla, which was delicious but could’ve used a bit more cheese and definitely a spicy dipping sauce on the side. The nachos were a miss for me—not your traditional chips, more like fried tortilla halves. While they were loaded with toppings, I missed the texture and sharability of regular chips. We tried three taco options and they were excellent. Each order came with two. My personal ranking: 1. Hongo (Various Mushrooms) – earthy, flavorful, unexpected 2. Pescado (Tilapia Fish) – fresh and well-seasoned 3. Pollo (Chicken) – still solid, just not as unique as the others The Tostada De Camarón (shrimp tostada) was just okay—not bad, but not very shareable. I’d probably skip it next time. On the other hand, we ordered two orders of elotes (each order comes with two halves) and those were a hit—you really can’t go wrong there. From the regular menu, we shared the pulpo (octopus), which was a standout dish. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, and served with Brussels sprouts and a velvety mashed potato (don’t expect chunks)—a combo that worked really well. My main feedback is that: •The menu should list the rim options for the margaritas—it’s a nice touch that deserves highlighting. •We were charged $1 for a habanero sauce we asked for to accompany tacos and quesadilla. For a small side condiment, that felt unnecessary—it should be complimentary. Overall rating: 3.5 stars, but I’m rounding up to 4 because the vibes were great and they were super accommodating with our larger group (with advance notice). Our total came to $328 for five people, with plenty of margaritas and multiple food rounds—fair value for the experience.

Que rico!!! This place 10/10 such good quality food at great prices. The vibes were fun & friendly. Plántanos, chilaquiles, smokey cucumber margarita & cucumber margarita all top tier. note, probably the best cucumber margarita we ever had.

Great spot to sit and watch the city go past you… great happy hour! And Gilberto was so kind and considerate during our visit :)

Our Server Brian was INCREDIBLE! The FOOD incredible! The DRINKS (prickly pear margarita. Chefs f*cking kiss!) Carana and Edward are the absolute best as well! Please ask for them and they will HOOK YOU UP with great table and even better service!

The happy hour, for Manhattan, is great, but it’s hard to enjoy when a waiter asks if you’d like another drink, and when you say yes, he follows up with, “Can you finish it in 15 minutes? Your time is up.” There was a table of noticeably younger, non-ethnic girls next to us who had been there before we arrived for our reservation. They hadn’t been asked to leave, and we asked the waiter why they hadn’t been asked to vacate their table like we had. The owner then came over to speak with us. When we asked, the owner replied that the girls would be leaving soon as well. “We are a democratic restaurant,” the owner said. Not even a minute later, the waiter went over to the young ladies to request their table. Evidently done only because we spoke up for ourselves. It’s disappointing to experience this kind of treatment, especially when we came in so happy to have an opportunity to catch up with a great friend. It’s hard to ignore the way we were made to feel less than. To the owner who responded to my comment, thank you. I’m well aware of time limits in restaurants, I live here. Never had I been asked to leave without tables who arrived before be dismissed first and never with a distasteful reminder. Your comment does not address the issue.

A delightful array of margaritas… And a good spread of salsa’s with the guacamole. The area is worth visiting just to get a seat outside. Gilberto was an amazing server who met us with kindness and even helped us pull out a new table to sit outside. Highly recommend.

delicious tacos & mezcal tasting. the elote is divine. we had a very special nye dinner at this establishment then we saw a phish concert we appreciated the kind bartender we loved the mezcal tasting we wanted to stay for a longer dinner we will DEFINITELY be back

This is literally just around the corner from Stonewall. I highly suggest it. The best food I had in days!

Fun cozy bar that has a decent selection of tequila and mezcal. It's in a pretty convenient spot and is a decent stop point.

Every time we go to ofrenda we can expect an amazing experience. The margaritas and food are fantastic. The chips and tortillas are so fresh and the flavors are amazing. Coming from California I feel this is comparable to anything from home. The service is always quick and the vibe is just right.

Came here with a group of friends for brunch on a Saturday. The space is small, but luckily was not super crowded when we arrived. We did have a reservation coming in, but didn't seem like it was needed. I ordered the Chilaquiles Pollo ($20), consisted of tortilla casserole, tomatillo salsa, sunny side up eggs, queso fresco, avocado, and sour cream. The waiter somehow forgot my order, so my food came out last. Regardless, the food was tasty and filling.

Ok to start off positively the margaritas were absolutely delicious especially the jalapeños marg. The food was pretty good as well as pictured. Yet there were some issues that led to 2 stars. When we first arrived immediately we were told we had 90 minutes for the table which I have never experienced in a restaurant and I work as a server. Pretty off putting. Secondly the guacamole was $18 and pretty small. When I went to ask for a box my friend next to me said that the person refilling the waters had spilled a ton of water into the guac which I guess I didn't notice after I had a little too much margarita. I then saw all the water in the guac but I figured I can just not package that part. Instead they package it for me and leave the water in . The experience overall just felt super rushed and overpriced.

Intimate little spot for a great Happy Hour! So happy I came here with my sister. Incredibly quick and efficient service. We arrived for the HH @ 4:50 P.M and left and 5:30 P.M! We did not feel rushed at all (the restaurant was at half capacity anyway.) Our waiter was super friendly and always close by. The team worked in unison, and our water was never less than 75% full! Ordered: * Jalapeño marg + Passion fruit marg -- loved both. * HH fish tacos * HH chicken tacos * HH Guac and chips * Rice and beans side. Great prices. They lost some love for offering tilapia instead of cod for the tacos but the fish had a CRISP and golden exterior so they won some of the love right back. Chef went light on the crema and slaw toppings which I personally prefer and appreciated. Sis loooved her tacos. Guac was hella fresh and a plentiful portion, as were the tacos and side. Rice and beans were fairly plain.. could use an infusion of spices, but were cooked well. I'd come back to try the Branzino entree and shrimp aguachile appetizer!

We were starving at 4 o'clock and came in here because it was one of the few restaurants opened. I started with a cold beer and my husband had a margarita & we shared a guacamole. I ordered shrimp tacos with six large shrimp, a slice of avocado and some salsa. My husband had a steak enchilada with some speckles of beef. Our meal was tasty and the staff were accommodating. There was a small round table near an outlet, we were told since we were two people we couldn't sit there. We sat at a table for two, but plugged our phones in at the corner table. We were here for an hour, and nobody else sat inside. While we were there a huge bug ran past us. Upon seeing the bug we realized that the floor was pretty filthy and we were pretty grossed out. Staff tried to tell us that it was from the subway. Then another huge bug ran past us. Funny, when we were leaving, they offered us a shot of tequila. When we said we were driving, we were basically called liars. I left walking uptown to our car. I read reviews and see that Ofredo has a bug problem or a cleanliness problem. But there was an "A" rating in the window.

Awesome happy hour spot. Good area in the west village for after work. Crowd is you get. Sit down dinner or at the bar vibes. Not much of a larger social scene, but excellent authentic Mexican food. I loved the fish tacos

The happy hour deal here is major!!!! Strong margs and amazing fish tacos. I've been here numerous times and it's always very consistent. Good service too!

Stopped by here for a Saturday early afternoon brunch. Absolutely no one is inside or in their outdoor seating area. Chose a table in the shade and was given some water to start. To begin, ordered a Jalapeno Margarita ($13) and the Guacamole ($14). Drink had a nice kick, while not being as strong as I'd hoped. Guacamole is chunky and ready to eat with the tortilla chips. For the entree, got the Huevos Divorciados ($18) - a layering of tortilla shell, eggs, and avocado swimming in a mole/salsa combo. Good flavors overall, especially in the sauces - wish I added chorizo for some more substance. Also tried the Chilaquiles ($16) which weren't as well made. Service is solid as the items came out quickly. Expensive for brunch, as there are no deals, so probably better for dinner.

Dimly lit upscale Mexican restaurant and bar. Came for happy hour. Had a margarita, nachos, fish tacos, and a tostada. The margarita was sweet, delicious, and strong and you couldn't taste the alcohol. I liked sugar on the rim better than salt. The tacos were my favorite, and the nachos and tostada were good. 3 happy hour appetizers was enough to feed 2. I would not go outside happy hour because their prices are high and their menu is small. The service was very gracious and attentive. The only problem was they forgot our nachos and then charged us the regular menu price for them.

This place is amazing! Margaritas are absolutely delicious and surprisingly the food is just as good if not better. Not at all surprised considering how friendly and happy the service is. Jesus is a legend! He was super attentive and knowledgeable. Also the manager Guillermo greeted us as the door with a huge smile. Love this place and will definitely be coming back! Whoever owns this establishment should be proud!

Went here for the first time with a few friends. Had a reservation. Service was slow but it was busy so understandable. The food runner dropped my tacos and they spilled all over my friends shoes. Another 10 minutes went by before our waiter came over said "you don't have your food?". It took another 15+ minutes after that to get my food. All of that was the least of my concerns after I spotted a camera in the restaurants bathroom. I was so uncomfortable and shocked I just wanted to leave. I have never had such a negative and scary experience.

I visited with a couple friends on a Sunday evening. They were incredibly busy, and business seem harried and poorly managed, with staff rushing and not having enough hands for the volume of customers. The manager asked if I had a reservation, and I said I didn't. I asked for a table, and he said the soonest would be 6 PM (an hour later), so I said sure, 6 PM for 4 people. I asked if he needed a name and he said no. I waited at the bar until 6 PM to check in on our table. The bartender was friendly and competent but did not really have the luxury to engage with us besides to serve our drinks and take our payment. I double-checked with my friend, who confirmed that he paid separately for his one drink, but his beverage was still included on my bill, which I didn't scrutinize until I got back to my hotel. At 6 PM, I checked with the manager, and he said that there was some miscommunication and he didn't have a table for us. I had a hunch he didn't when he didn't notate it in their system or ask for my name or number. He then said that he would accommodate us anyway and assigned us a table and said that we could stay for only an hour. He made sure of that, rushing us for drink and food orders. I felt unwelcome. The food is overpriced and unappetizing but experience tells us not to drink excessively with an empty stomach, so we ate what we were given. The margaritas the bartender prepared for both me and my friend were incredibly tart to the point of them being undrinkable. Maybe a bad batch, a poor pour, or a new employee, but overall disappointing. I spent more than $100 and don't feel the value matched the price paid. I tipped 20% as the right thing to do, but I'd probably not come back.

Food and service were great. Quite reasonably priced (nightly happy hour through 7 pm).

I may not have been upset except for the large cockroach. Attentive service, decent food but... Funny they offered us a shot of tequila on the house. We said we were driving and a staff person said no you didn't. WARNING : You may not want to eat here. BEWARE: Despite the response from their GM, there have been other Yelp reviews alluding to a cockroach problem. Check other 1 star reviews. I wish we were aware of this before we came here I also believe I saw a review or 2 on TripAdvisor alluding to it as well.

Service was great. Our waiter was very nice. That's sadly the only good thing that I can say. My Mexican food was impossibly bland. Three tiny enchiladas were filled with flavorless shredded chicken and cost me $24. The cocktail was equally overpriced and underwhelming. But the worst part was the sound. I have an Apple Watch and it gives a warning when the sound level is over 90 dB. I got this warning a few times and I measured it at 102 dB inside this restaurant. That's like the level of a power tool or a snowmobile, I couldn't hear my friends, I was yelling so that they could try to hear me, and the experience was just impossibly unpleasant. I could never go back. They need to find a way to soundproof the space at least a little bit and get a modicum of flavor for the dishes.

Definitely make a reservation. This restaurant is really small and gets really busy. Inside it was extremely loud and crowded. It would have been nice but all the body heat made it feel and smell like a crowded club on a Friday night. Luckily I sat outside on the street and took in the smells of New York. Passion Fruit Margarita: 9/10 Delicious! I got a passion fruit margarita and it was so good. It was strong but you couldn't taste the alcohol, the best combination. The passion fruit didn't taste artificial at all. I would love to come back for happy hour and get a pitcher of this! I tried the mango too, which was also great. Not artificial and great taste. Quesadilla with chicken: 8.5/10 As far as quesadillas go, this one was very good. The top was nice and crispy, although the bottom got a bit soggy. The chicken was shredded and extremely moist. It was perfectly spread throughout and made the dish more of a meal. I wished the chicken had had a bit more seasoning or flavor to it. It was very plain. The quesadilla was loaded with cheese, and it was perfectly melted and gooey. I loved the flavor and it wasn't over the top. The green salsa added a good amount of flavor but w didn't have as much of a punch as I would have liked. There was a little something missing overall with the spices and flavor. I would still recommend it though and would definitely get it again. Overall, this place to me would be a great stop for a happy hour. They have a good deal, great discounted small bites and margs. For dinner, I think it was too chaotic and too expensive for a tortilla with cheese. The other items look good if you want a fancy Mexican dinner.

Jesus was the best server!!! Happy hour was a bang for your buck, delish tacos and MUST get the guacamole. We'll be back next time we're in the city

I recently dined at [Restaurant Name] and found it to be fairly mediocre. The enchiladas were decent but didn't stand out in any particular way, and the margaritas were average at best. Overall, there was nothing remarkable about the experience--neither the food nor the drinks left a lasting impression. If you're looking for something extraordinary, this might not be the place.

I loved my experience at Ofrenda! The staff here are really great -- super hospitable and friendly! I came here for post dinner drinks and enjoyed it. Overall would definitely return if I'm in the neighborhood.

I can't say enough great things about this place !! The drinks were soo delicious and they have happy hour everyday from 4-7 which is great. The food is plated soo beautifully and everything is incredibly vibrant which made for great photos. The waiter was sooo friendly and explained every dish and gave us amazing recommendations. The fish was phenomenal as recommended by the waiter definitely will be back.

One of many downtown Mexican places with needlessly high minimum plate costs and nothing to show for it. Barely elevated two-taco entrees with no sides are something ludicrous like $17. The chicken enchiladas main was in the twenties (hey, better than the thirties!) and had the same ingredients and portion size as the one I had from a hole-in-the-wall spot in Scranton the day before. Only eat here if you're on a date or there's some crazy drink deal.

Bryan took the best care of us! The service and food were both phenomenal. We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant

Brian's service was so outstanding it made me want to cry (Tears of joy). In addition, the food was great- im sad I live in Chicago so I can't come back any time soon.

The food here is awesome! Bryan is also awesome!!!! Highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in the east village!

An NYC staple in the village! Always good and reliable before or after a night out.........

Walked in around 8p on a Wednesday night and got seated within half an hour for a table of 3. Reservations are pretty available online though, so I'd just snag one of those if you can. Apps - - queso fundido: 5/5, wow! Definitely a must-have off the apps section - ofrenda guacamole (chips and guac): this was ok? 3.5/5 I thought the chips were way too oily for me, but my friends loved the guac - elote: 4/5, elote is always great, I've had better though. Probably could've had more flavor / spices Mains - - pescado tacos (fish): 4/5, lots of flavor, but not amazing - Gobernador (shrimp) tacos: 5/5 definitely the highlight for me. Shrimp is cooked to perfection. Overall a nice experience! It's a little on the pricey side, imo $17 for two tacos is a bit much, but hey they were pretty good, and also not that small either

TLDR: A great spot for outdoor summer dining! Started off with the passionfruit cocktail that was light refreshing and yet somehow pretty strong. The tacos were nicely presented, rich in flavor, and well seasoned. The restaurant was pretty packed for a sunday evening so I would highly recommend getting a reservation well in advance.

Absolutely delicious margaritas and food! My friend and I stopped by for happy hour. Along with a few margaritas each, we got an order of chicken quesadillas, fish tacos, guacamole, and elote. Everything was fantastic - I especially loved the mango margarita with a tajin rim. The thing to note is that there does appear to be a 1 hour and 30 minute time limit. But it was not restrictive at all, and allowed us time to enjoy the food and drinks.

A little loud and tightly spaced. Happy hour is pretty limited along with food options. Still pretty tasty and nice spot

The drinks are very strong and the tacos are amazing. Very small restaurant with outdoor seating.

6/5 for happy hour, which is 4-7 daily! The margs are divine. And the food menu is one of the best I've ever seen at a happy hour, with tons of $10 bites. Plenty of outdoor tables in addition to a quaint inside. And a staff member helped seat us without a reservation. Will come back for dinner sometime.

Stopped in for Happy Hour with a friend after work. Such a great spot! I'm surprised I've never been here before but I will definitely be back. Started with prickly pear margaritas with sugar on the rim. These were sweet, tasty and I could probably drink 12. Such a good Margarita. My friend stuck with wine, thought the HH wine options were a bit limited but I thought they had some good options. We ordered a Queso Fondido with chorizo to snack on, loved that it came out in a cast iron skillet pan, kept the cheese warmer and melted for longer. The fresh and warm tortillas were the perfect touch. Will be coming back to get actual dinner!

Went with my wife for dinner night. I had the best experience, especially the food we start off with guacamole and elote then tacos Gobernador taco and alambre taco . Both tacos were amazing , and the last was the carne asada with the side of camote and platanitos.Our server was really nice with us and was taking good care of us. The margaritas are strong and delicious . I had the Smokey jalapeño and my wife a sunset Oaxaca they both were amazing. I recommend this place for everybody and any type of date.

Would rate this place 4.5 stars. Great for happy hr! My friend and I came here after a barre class and it was already popping. We had made a reservation at 645 to catch the end of happy hour at 7. We got seated right away and was able to place an order in before it was over. The tapas and drinks came out immediately. Overall, food is pretty solid and will be back! Btw, the seats are fine if you don't mind overhearing other people's conversations, but a bit crammed otherwise.

I've only visited Ofrenda for a Happy Hour, but it left me wanting more! We ordered the Queso dip and margaritas for a quick snack before moving on for the night. The margaritas were deliciously fresh (and $8!) and the Queso was FANTASTIC! Next time I'm in the city, I'll definitely be back here for dinner. The servers are friendly and the vibe is cozy and cool - I'd definitely recommend making reservations, because this spot fills up fast!

Made a reservation for 6 online for 11Am on Sunday. We arrived at 10:50 and were told "we aren't open yet y'all need to wait outside" it was raining and we had two children. Incredibly rude. A simple good morning or do you mind waiting outside till we open in 5 minutes. We did not stay for our reservation, that greeting was horrible.

Solid Mexican spot in west village. It does the job! Not like five star quality but you will walk out of here satisfied. I tried the guacamole, shishito peppers, gobernador and pescado tacos. The guacamole was nothing special. The shishito peppers were good! The gobernador tacos were pretty good, the shrimp was cookies nicely. The pescado taco was pretty good too! The service was nice, quick and friendly. Overall, I'm happy with my experience here.

Excellent food, service, location and all around atmosphere. Definitely a find in the West Village.

Great happy hour - the cucumber margarita is one of my favorite drinks in Manhattan. Everyone here is nice, vibes are cool. Haven't had a ton of the food but what I've had has been delish.

Second visit to this busy Mexican in the West Village. Margs are top notch, as are the guacamole and perfectly salty chips. Fish tacos were crispy, moist and nicely sauced. Our waiter, Jesus, was just the right amount of attentive. Great music and vibe too. Will be back!

Amazing food and very kind and polite team. The tatste is very authentic. And the harbenero sauce was just the best! and Jesus was absolutely wonderful!

The happy hour here is amazing because: 1. It is every day, including weekends! 2. It includes a selection of beer, wine and margaritas! 3. It also includes food! You can fill up on discounted nachos, tacos and quesadillas. Not only is the happy hour great, but the food is also delicious (you can't always have both). After hh nachos (not they are not your typical nachos, they reminded me of empanadas with nacho toppings) and a cheese quesadilla, we had the octopus, shishito peppers and chicken enchiladas. All tasty, good portion sizes, and reasonably priced. The inside is a little dark, but it was a nice day so we sat at their sidewalk seating and people watched.

Ofrenda has really great Margaritas. If you like Margaritas you should definitely head over to Ofrenda to sample their Smokey Jalapeño or their classic. The chips are good too at Ofrenda. Beyond that the food is just ok. So go for the Margaritas, your choice if you stay for dinner.

I never had any food here but every time I am in the West Village, this is my spot for the best Margaritas! The service here is great even during happy hour and it is always happening. If you are ever in the mood for a great margarita and youre in the west village, you need to stop by!

Classic Mexican spot on in the West Village that still offers HH everyday! Smoky Jalapeno Margarita was very good. I quite love that instead of salt rim they used sugar and pepper (?) Sweet and spicy. Prickly Pear Margarita was pink color and too sweet, both visual and taste were meh. Tostada Shrimp was very delicious as well as the Elote.

Not my first time here but my first time reviewing this old school New York haunt. After all these years, it is still a great place to start your night off. The food and Margs are legit. For what it's worth, I'm not saying it's the greatest meal you will ever have in New York. It's a great place for small to medium sized groups of friends to catch up, have a decent meal and take your party elsewhere. It is conveniently located in the west village where there is no dearth of bars. The tacos and spicy jalapeño margaritas are delish. Each taco is two bites sized and if you are a dainty woman, maybe 3 or 4 bites per taco. If you are a group 3 and above, get the pitcher. The guacamole is as good as it gets. As other reviewers have mentioned, you absolutely need a reservation and your entire party needs to be there in order for them to seat you. If you miss that, it will be a 30 minute wait. The wait staff is very nice and treated us kindly.
