We were pleasantly surprised during our visit to Pink Tacos in Times Square. Initially, we expected it to be just another typical tourist spot, but to our delight, the food and drinks exceeded our expectations. The service was outstanding, and the ambiance was vibrant and inviting. We ordered the steak and eggs and the avocado toast, paired with the special Margarita sampler. Every bite and sip was superb. I highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience!

This spot was a last minute decision since it was so close to our hotel. Loved the Mexican vibes, the lighting gives it a calm touch. The food was very good. The service was good. However our server she was a little frustrated with us not making up our minds fast to order…I know this happened a lot with different consumers but guess she couldn’t take it much.

Hosted an event for 100 people at Pink Taco. The staff went above and beyond. From the moment I walked in, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They were well staffed. It was a breath of fresh air that they had everything in order. The event was seamless. Cocktails and food were delicious. Highly recommend this spot.

The inside is neat and has a fun vibe, but that's about where it ends. The burrito came out cold, and when asked if we could have silverware to eat, we got an attitude from the server. We ordered the salsa sampler, and it came out after the regular food. We wouldn't return here again and would recommend this to restaurant to anyone I know.

I was initially torn between giving this place three or four stars, but I ultimately chose four for a few key reasons. First, the atmosphere was very welcoming, and the staff was friendly and helpful overall. They were attentive, though they came by on their own schedule rather than when we actually needed them. They also didn’t offer any recommendations for the menu, which would have been nice. Location-wise, this restaurant has a prime spot—not far from Times Square and close to the Nintendo store—making it a convenient stop for anyone exploring the area. The interior was well-maintained and very clean when we arrived. It wasn’t too busy at first, but it picked up pretty quickly, so it’s clearly a popular spot. Now, onto the food, which is the main reason you’re reading this! It was better than average, though my main issue was that it wasn’t served piping hot, only warm. I ordered the birria tacos, and while the flavors in the broth were rich and delicious for dipping, the seasoning in the meat itself was underwhelming. Without the broth, the tacos lacked depth. Hopefully, they can improve the seasoning ratio in the future to make the tacos flavorful both with and without the broth. Overall, I’d recommend this place, especially for the location, reasonable prices, and generally good experience. They also have a full bar, which is a plus for drinkers, and an upstairs seating area perfect for large groups. Give it a try!

The food was very good and it was very fresh. It was good portion sizes and good prices. Also, the food was well presented that I atmosphere was nice and relaxed. It was very aesthetically pleasing. The service… The waiter did not pay much attention to us, and it was very slow while we were there. He did not stay on top of things however he was polite.

The hostess, Reina, was excellent. My wife can’t eat gluten dairy or soy so she pulled out the binder and went through what she could and couldn’t eat. There were several options she could have and we loved every thing we ate. I had the og pink tacos and she had the carnitas. The queso was a stringy queso, not a dip. It was delicious but was not what I was expecting.

Unfortunately our meal here was a miss in most ways and we wouldn't go back again. I ordered the big barbacoa burrito and the sauce that they smothered it with was coldish and so was the rice inside. The meat inside of the burrito was hot but the first couple bites with just sauce, rice, and tortilla were pretty awful and after that the combined product was just off. My son ordered a ground beef burrito from the kids menu and asked for just meat, cheese, rice and beans because he doesn't like tomatoes and onions. Their ground beef and rice all have onions and tomatoes mixed into it when they make it so it was inedible for him. A kids menu should be mindful of the ingredients. I also had an issue with the shredded cheese they used, it had been sitting out for some time and had gotten the shiny oily look that happens to cheese after sitting out. Overall not a good meal, I would suggest taking a pass on this spot.

I loved all the decor inside and outside of this place. It is SO fun and vibrant. I did make a reservation which I personally would recommend because it was packed at 4pm. I don't know how busy it was upstairs, or if it was even opened because I did not go up there but the downstairs was busy for sure. For our drinks, I got a 'Cucumber Cilantro' which was herradura blanco, smashed cucumber, cilantro, fresh lime juice, agave nectar. This was very refreshing and strong, but not to strong. My husband got the 'Dirty Sanchez' which was el silencio mezcal, tamarind, pineapple, fresh lime juice. He absolutely loved it. I did try it and it definitely wasn't for me but I am glad he enjoyed it. For our starters, we had the 'Killer Salsa Sampler' which is served with chips. We chose the pineapple salsa, pico de gallo and corn salsa. They definitely need to provide you with more salsa. They give you a ton of chips and you would need at least 2 or 3 small bowls of each kind you choose to use all of the chips. The Pico was my favorite because it had great flavor and it was super fresh. The pineapple was great too. The downfall was the Corn Salsa. It was literally just corn and onions, super dry and bland. No moistness or anything for a "Salsa". For our entrees, my husband got the 'Big Barbacoa Burrito' which was beef barbacoa, pinto beans, mexican rice, chipotle mayo, pico de gallo, jack cheese, flour tortilla, topped with mexican crema & red chile sauce. He said it looked small, but it was very filling and had a great sauce on it. I got the 'Fried Lobster Tacos' which came 3 to an order. I also attached a picture of it. They had lobster, avocado, cabbage slaw, chipotle mayo, mango-habanero salsa on flour tortillas. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I would order this again and again. The flavor was so good and I never thought of lobster and tacos but what a great combo! Our server was very friendly but he would disappear for long amounts of time, usually when we needed him. The location couldn't be any better and it was a nice place to try. I would probably check this place out again and would recommend for some good food.

Tried two things on their menu and both didn't meet my expectations. The nachos were oily, lacked toppings and were dry. After the top few pieces it's like you're only eating chips. There was too little sour cream or guac. If I didn't get the chicken topping, this would be inedible after 2-3 bites. Complete letdown. The pink taco is obviously their most popular item. The flavors itself weren't too bad, but the taco was extremely oily and the chicken was a little burnt in some places which made this so hard to chew. The location of this place is obviously great and it's a decent late-night dinner or drinks spot after a Broadway show. They have some interesting drinks and a lot of space so you'll pretty much get a table without a reservation. They also stream sports and had a live DJ situation going on.

The vibe was good here! Food was also great! We got the chips and salsa which you get to pick 3 different salsas, but definitely not enough salsa to go with the amount of chips you got. We did get the queso which doesn't come with chips and instead comes with a few tortillas. Queso was super delicious! It had chorizo in it. The chicken quesadilla was one of the best I've ever had! And the 2 people who got tacos absolutely loved them!

Yelp
The food was delicious- I got the birria quesadilla and got a taste of the fried lobster tacos. The reason why I marked Pink Taco low was because of the drinks. I tried two different types of margaritas and they were both too sweet and super watered down. How can you have a Mexican themed restaurant and the drinks- specifically margaritas- are horrendous?

Alexsis A.

Yelp
I would recommend this place for brunch! It literally lasts all day and the food and drinks are pretty good. Pictured below you will find the Mexican street corn off the Cobb. I asked for extra cheese.

This place is really pretty there's a small downstairs and a really big upstairs it has great views and really nice artwork. The drinks are really good and the menu look delicious. I however didn't try anything on the menu other than the cocktails which were a 10 out of 10. The service was really good too she kept coming back and checking on us and making sure that we had everything we wanted and let us know in enough time to order before the kitchen was going to close she was very good.

I came here after seeing a Broadway Show (The Wiz) and had the best time. I has a reservation and was able to be seated ahead of time. The strawberry Margarita served in a pineapple was my drink of choice. For my starters, I had the guacamole with chips along with the street corn. Both were equally delicious. For my entrée, I indulged in the coconut shrimp tacos with rice and beans and the lobster enchiladas. I didn't like the enchiladas that much; lacked taste and got soggy. I will definitely return here for more tacos, for brunch, and to give the dessert a try.

Yelp
Yum! The coconut shrimp tacos are SOOOOO good. Those are 100000/10! The OG pink tacos are like 3/10. I think the color is the best thing about them lol Get the shrimp tacos!! Service was quick and easy. Inside is big, and has lots of room. Will be visiting again!

We didn't realize this restaurant had a C health rating when we decided to eat here, but after our experience, it all made sense. Avoid this Mexican restaurant in Times Square. Our experience was terrible from start to finish. The food was of very poor quality, lacking flavor, and made us feel sick afterward. The service was disappointing--the servers were inattentive and unfriendly, and everything took too long, from taking our order to bringing the check. The only exception was the hostess, who was professional, friendly, and greeted us with a great attitude--something that, unfortunately, was not reflected in the rest of the staff. The margaritas and other cocktails were poorly made, with low-quality alcohol and unbalanced flavors. On top of that, the music was entirely in English, which felt completely off-brand for a supposedly Mexican restaurant. To make matters worse, the bathrooms were dirty and unkempt, which is unacceptable for any restaurant. With so many great Mexican food options in New York, this place is not worth it. I do not recommend it at all, except for the hostess, who was the only positive part of the night!!

Not just tacos but a whole vibe! We stopped by on a Saturday night after seeing & Juliet, which I highly recommend seeing! The DJ upstairs had us singing along and dancing in our seats. I had the chicken tacos and they were good. The refried beans and rice needed a little salt. My daughter had the steak bowl which she said was quite good. My friend ordered the shrimp fajitas and she was a little underwhelmed. Our boys had enchiladas and they enjoyed them. The chips and salsa were surprisingly good! The chips were warm and salted --highly recommend that as an appetizer.

The food is incredible, the atmosphere is fantastic, the drinks hit the spot, and the renowned tacos are a must-try. The service was amazing. I'll definitely be returning!

This review is for Restaurant Week (RW) summer 2024 only. The RW menu seemed very promising at first - a 3-course dinner for $30. However, the dishes were quite disappointing. The portions were generous, no doubt, but the dishes were only a slight upgrade from the tacos at Taco Bell. The taquitos were better than expected, but the pink tacos were too fried, and the enchiladas lacked flavor. I ordered a classic margarita, which didn't arrive until halfway through the meal, despite a few reminders. It came in a tall glass instead of a typical margarita glass, with chunks of ice. I have never seen a margarita made so poorly, especially at a Mexican-themed restaurant. There is HH...but I doubt I will return given my experience here. In short, this is not the place to go if you're seeking an authentic Mexican meal.

I was afraid that with this restaurant being in Times Square it might be too loud and busy. It was actually alright. The noise was manageable and we decided to eat on the 2nd floor which had more seating and less people. The menu items were decently priced for the area with most items being between $10-25 USD. My shrimp tacos cost me $22, which is a little more than you might pay for tacos in one of the outer boroughs, but in this case you're paying for location. The flavor was really good, and they make up for the price by making sure your tacos are stuffed well. I would say the service could have been a bit better as we needed the waitress and she was nowhere to be found. The seating was ample and comfortable and they had clean bathrooms as well. Overall it's a nice restaurant and would go again and would recommend to others as well as it's the closest taco place in Times Square that isn't a Taco Bell.

Everything was incredible!! Good service, not too busy, plenty of seating and clean. Great options for vegetarians. No notes.

Definitely a wonderful experience for the fam and myself! There are two floors... downstairs is warmer (temp), smaller, intimate, lower level bar. Upstairs is huge to include party rooms, much cooler in temperature, a second bar, large screens everywhere, windows facing 6th Ave and W 52nd St. there are elevators, beautiful art (to include several murals) everywhere and the staff are WONDERFUL. The bathrooms are clean and BEAUTIFULLL (the carvings are mesmerizing)! Now the food WOW! I recommend the lobster tacos. I will definitely visit again when I return to the city.

The food was pretty good here. We came here for lunch and it was not busy at all. We were seated fast and our food came fast! I do think the service was average. It wasn't anything special but it also wasn't the best I've ever seen. The restaurant its self is very cool and has lots of different seating options. Overall it was nice to try.

My family and I visited Pink Taco one morning before we headed out of Manhattan on a cruise. It was in walking distance from the Hilton where we were staying, not too far from Times Square. We were the first and only diners in the restaurant. The esthetic in the restaurant was pretty dope, definitely trendy. But more important, the restaurant was clean! All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and accommodating. Suggestions were provided when asked and our order came out fast and hot. In ordered the Breakfast Papas, which was very fresh and tasty. The dish may look small but it was very filling, I could hardly finish it all. I also ordered a Bloody Maria which signaled the official start of my vacation! My husband had the Steak & Eggs and our sons had the Hamburguesa Gordita and the Pink Churro Pancakes. Everyone really enjoyed their food. I will admit each item was a bit pricey, but since we all enjoyed our meals I won't complain. All and all, it was a good experience.

We came here for a team lunch of 12 people. Most of us ordered: the original pink taco, bowls, and the lobster tacos. We started with guac and queso - as well as a massive pitcher of margaritas. Our server was super on top of things and kept up with our orders and requests. We even had the Manager pop by our table to check to ensure everything was up to standard around mid-meal. Overall - we were super happy with our experience!

Stopped by for drinks only. This was a cute spot to enjoy happy hour. They offered one of my favorite wines - Meomi Pinot Noir.

This place was ok. I liked the experience that I had. There is a greeter upon arriving in the door. They seat you. My friend was already inside waiting for me at the bar. The bar is nice and spacious. I had my food and drinks there. Service was good. They recommended some things for me to try and I tried them. Tasty food and drink. Thank you.

It was time for a girls night out, so I called up one of my friends and asked her what she was doing Saturday night. She said nothing. I said, let's go out to eat my favorite thing to do lol. I asked her what she was feeling for and she said Mexican I said all right let's try this spot in Times Sq I've always seen it walking in the city and I want to try it. So we immediately booked the reservation and headed on over there. Ambience is definitely a chill vibe, and the food was amazing. Our waitress Linda was super cool, and she bought chips and salsa to our table. For starters, we got street corn which I have never tasted until then, and I am in love, and we also got the spicy chicken drumettes which also was delicious. For our drinks, we both decided to get the Frozen mango con Chile which was so good my friend got a second round. For our entrées, I got the lobster enchiladas and she got the fried lobster tacos which both was cooked to perfection. No imitation lobster there. Everything is 100% authentic real lobster Yum-O All in all, we had a great girls night and we will definitely be back. We highly recommend. Cheers

This may be one of the last hold outs for free chips and salsa ya'll! Don't miss out! All day Taco Tuesday specials, or a great Happy Hour between 3-6pm M-F in the bar & lounge upstairs! Nice! Bonus? Both are available on Tuesday at the upstairs bar and high top tables! We arrived on Tuesday before an equally great deal on discounted movie theatre tickets and opted for the more expanded Happy Hour menu with a touch of the Taco Tuesday special choice. The queso fundido is real cheese and spicy sausage that comes out steaming hot on a cast iron skillet and gets caramelized on the edges as it sets in. My friend enlisted me to help her literally scrape the bottom of the skillet to get every last bit of it. It's served with flour tortillas that can turn it into more of a mini quesadilla app, but I actually like the corn chip flavor with it more. The guac is also not to be missed. Huge chunky freshly mashed avocado pieces with just the right mix ins. The chips do a decent job of holding up to the real ingredients, but you may need to give them a little help along the way. Something Pink frozen Margarita also a must try with its lovely orchid topper and prickly pear flavor. Go for the frozen Mango con Chile if you like that michelada flavor with a tajin straw. Not sure if it was the day or the chef, but we tried the OG pink tacos and both felt a bit "meh" about them. The chicken didn't have enough of the spicy tinga flavor, and a bit too much jack cheese and iceberg lettuce such that it was kind of drowning in the last two items and we could t really taste the chicken even though we could see it existed in limited supply. The Al Pastor taco looked awesome, as did the street corn, but I didn't get to try those... just lusted across the table at them. Our server Katrina (I hope I remembered that correctly!) was awesome and really went with the flow on our happy hour drinks and eats. We did have one person under 21 in our party, and while she wasn't allowed at the bar counter, she was allowed in the lounge high tops and seats so she could also enjoy specials on eats.

Came here for brunch expecting mediocre food and could not have been more wrong! Food was amazing as was the service! I regret not getting a pic, but I won't forget next time! I had the barbacoa bowl and bf had steak and eggs. We both loved every bite. Potatoes were flavorful, eggs fluffy and meat cooked perfect. Mimosas were good and strong too, and our glasses never empty. My only complaint is the bathroom is upstairs which can get annoying if you drink a lot! Fun environment and super cool decor! Yeah it's in Times Square which sucks if you're a New Yorker but great if you're a tourist! Worth the schlep though.

Yes!! Great cocktails, beer and tacos. Had the of tacos on the happy hour menu. One of the best eats in nyc and best price hands down!!

The wife and I had an impromptu date night and wanted to grab something new for dinner after work. As we were walking, saw Pink Taco and thought why not. We were seated immediately for the time we went at. Decor was pretty cool - liked how they infused the pink name with the black and skulls. Our waitress (forgot her name but will refer to her as curly sue since she had beautiful curly hair like my daughter) was very nice and took her time explaining the options to my wife and what was and was not spicy. The waitress was also able to customize our wife's plate by putting the spicy portions on the side which was very kind of them. The waitress also constantly was checking on us and making sure our drinks were refilled. We had a the queso fundido for appetizer which was okay. The chips were phenomenal and tasted freshly made with the right portion of saltiness (I'm a sucker for that). The chorizo was put on the side for spiciness and it was yummy. The queso part was a little hard as if it was sitting in waiting for a bit before getting to us but wife enjoyed it. Wife then got the carne asada enchiladas and I got the green chille chicken enchiladas. The dish looks deceiving. One first thinks "that's it" because it looks small but boy, it was very filling. Mine was was very well made - tender, savory, and right balance between cheese/sauce/spice. When mix rice with sauce actually made it enjoyable as well. Was not a fan of the refried beans because seemed like it needed something. Wife enjoyed hers but couldn't finish because it was that filling - felt like a three course meal. The waitress, the enchiladas and the decor makes it a great place to pick up a bite to eat before a date night out at the theater, the movies or a game. Check it out.

Last Saturday, my friends and I went there for the first time, and I have to tell, it was incredible! lively setting with music playing at an enjoyable spot. Really friendly. I mean, yesterday during our break, my bestie and I took the train from Jersey to the City just so we could grab TACOS to Go. Lee was really helpful when we placed our orders over the phone, and when we came to pick them up, he was really nice and kind. Their to-go order packing is excellent, as shown by the fact that our tacos tasted just as good when we brought them back to Jersey.Our order included shrimp tacos and MAHI-MAHI; it also included rice and refried beans. WE CANT WAIT TO GO BCK. !!!

Love this place the tacos were amazing my friend got the fried lobster tacos she mentioned they were amazing little on the salty side but still good! I loved mine my drink was perfect it was a nice view on the second floor I feel like it's a really cute and fun place at night our waitress was great when it came down to ordering and bringing the food out hot. I am definitely going back!

My local taco places beat this place by a mile. Tacos were deep fried & lacked much taste. We did like the desserts, but the meals were all underwhelming. Too many choices in NYC to waste my money here. Service was lacking & not attentive at all. The physical restaurant is very touristy with over the top decorations.

Great spot to visit near Broadway beside a show. Margarita was made perfectly. Pink taco was an amazing bite. Mexican corn tad on the salty side but hood nonetheless. Great service by bartender. Nice vibes upstairs and downstairs.

Honestly thought I was headed to a lesbian bar but no... ‍ just a sassy Three Floored super chill, booming tunes and super fast service. Employees buzzed about taking orders, food runners dropping meals off and bus persons tidying tables and making room for the next party. PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED. The hostess will come a runnin' to redirect you. I can only assume owner or manager who had a pretty serious face manned the floor quietly giving directions to staff. Super clean, awesome interior, great murals and a gift shop with some clothing items. Full bar, clean environment, hangover brunch menu and regular menu. Excellent portion sizes. We had left overs for days. Very tasty. In the heart of Times Square,NYC- touristy and prices reflect that.

I just came for drinks, I thought they had happy hour but I don't think they did...or at least the bartender told us that. However, a margarita flight wasn't too bad in terms of price, like $20. However, only the mango was good, the pink marg (I assume watermelon), classic, and spicy weren't good at all. They seemed p sour or something, maybe because of the mix but my friend really had to try to finish his drinks. Will update if I try food in the future.

Went for dinner. Great atmosphere and loved the music they had on. Our waitress was great and very attentive. Food was good. We got happy hour apps and then split some entrees. Queso dip was fantastic! Highly recommend the espresso martini.

Pink Taco was a solid brunch spot. It's a little funky and fun inside and oh boy, taking the stairs to the restroom upstairs is a lot lol. I had a good little workout going up it a couple times. My friend and I both ordered the Bad b*tch Combo which was quite a good deal for the price in NYC. The portions were also big especially with the full sized pancakes which were a fun pink color. Instead of getting individual mimosas, we opted to share the mimosa bucket and each got 2 drinks out of it. Everything in the combo meal was quite good and made a really hearty meal to tide us over until dinner. An overall great brunch spot with friendly staff.

Me and my friend made reservations for lunch at Pink Taco. The place was very nice and a lot bigger than I expected. They have 2 floors. The dining section is downstairs and there's a bar upstairs. We didn't pick the best day to go since it was santacon (so packed) but the service was surprisingly not so bad. The positive that earned them 2 stars for me were the drinks. They were REALLY good. The frose was the best out of the two and they even serve it in a pineapple upon request! The downside of our experience was the food. My friend didn't like her tacos much. She thought they were spicier than she'd like and my quesadilla tasted like baked ziti, oddly. I think it was the cheese. It wasn't bad but wasn't how it should taste. Luckily the guac and chips were pretty good so that helped our hunger. I would not go back. The food was lacking.

Place was pretty empty upon arrival; therefore it was no need for reservations . The upstairs part is beautiful . I had the fried lobster tacos & my fiancé had the chicken burrito . Lobster taco was really good . Had a strawberry lemonade which tasted really good . My fiancé said his burrito was okay , for dessert I had the fried ice cream ; which was pretty good . Complimentary nachos were good too , Will def go back to try the fish taco's. Only complaint is that the restrooms were not as clean

We were seated upstairs while celebrating our daughters 21st birthday. When making the reservation it asked if we were celebrating anything special. I put my daughters bday but no one acknowledged it. It's very loud upstairs on a Sat night around 8pm. There was a DJ there. Food was fine - we ordered street corn, tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, chips & guac, a few drinks as well as fried Ice cream. The service was a bit slow but we weren't rushed so it was fine. Our server was pleasant. A strong 3.5 restaurant in the heart of Times Square.

We like it here - the name is quite alluring. As well as the skull disco ball at the entrance, I want it!! Our 1st stop in was on the late night- the kitchen was closed so they let us have a few rounds at the bar. Friendly bartenders were great hosts. 2nd visit, we had bites and sips ( see pics) - that sauce with the nachos is so yum. They need to bottle it if they haven't already. Matter of face, I'm gonna ask if they sell it next time I'm in the area. I like the tacos. I took 2 home and they tasted good the next day. The rice and beans was kinda blah - it gave "not much attention was put into this recipe". It can def use a revision. We will go back? Yes, it's convenient and... there's late night sips.

Nestled in the heart of Manhattan is this lively Mexican restaurant. We went on a Friday evening with three teenagers in tow. We had made reservations and were seated promptly. The service was a bit slow considering the place was not packed at all, but our waitress was very friendly. The adults ordered margaritas and the kids ordered lemonades. The adult drinks weren't very potent, but very large and sweet. For an app we shared the nachos. Unique is the first word that comes to mind - but not in a bad way. In fact, in a surprisingly good way. There was a pink sauce and crumbled Mexican cheese on top - but the flavor combination was great. I would definitely get those again. I ordered a taco bowl with chicken. It looked very small when I got it, but it was very filling. It was chock full of chopped goodies. The taco shell crust was perfectly fried and wasn't greasy. If I ordered it again, I was ask them to not put the lettuce in there. I am not a fan of warm wilted lettuce. Other than that, I would order it again. The size was deceiving as I couldn't finish it! The kids ordered chicken fajitas which they devoured as well. They thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Cost wise, the prices are comparable to manhattan dining. Could you get cheaper outside the city? Of course you can, but you are in the city so expect to pay about $30-40 a person with drinks and food. Skip the appetizers and adult drinks if you want to save money (though I wouldn't skip those nachos!). All in all if you are looking for good Mexican, try this place out. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Not what we were expecting... Not very kid friendly and their food wasn't really good. Super authentic and classy. The service was sufficient. I would not go back.

This location have fancy decorations and the Taco Tuesday is a great deal. However, the service is too slow, we order for our food. It's take 30 minutes for the first appetizer come to the table.

The Fried Shrimp, Fried Fish, Chicken Tacos and Margarita Flight were amazing !!! I like them fried to add some crunch to it.

Being from the South, great customer service is high on my list of expectations when visiting any restaurant or establishment. Of all the restaurants visited while vacationing in NY, I was pleasantly surprised that this was the ONLY restaurant that truly hit that mark. From it being too cold downstairs to them moving us upstairs because it was warmer, to bringing extra chips to have with our entree, they really went the extra mile to make sure the table was taken care of. The food and drinks were on point too. The only thing I didn't really enjoy, was the amount of pulp left in my drink. It kept getting stuck in the straw, which made it difficult to drink. I could have just not used the straw though, so I guess that was a "me" issue. The place was decorated super cute. I'm always up for some good photo opportunities. All in all, I was happy to have found a place in NY that gave me a piece of normalcy. I was giving up hope that customer service meant anything, until I came to Pink Taco. Much koodos to them! Awesome job.

A taco shop smack in the middle of Times Square madness: you would predict a shameful operation (tourity, overcrowded, overpriced, poor quality) but we had none of this fulfilled. The space is very fun with a lot of death/skull themed art. Service was pretty efficient for our time limitations to get to a show, but we did have to run down the server at the end since we had to pay and they were hard to spot. The fried ice cream was unique with fruity pebble coating! The tacos were just right and very flavorful. I enjoyed a pink margarita which wasn't too strong but decent. Don't count this out as a reasonable option for casual dinner

If there was less than one star, that's what I would give. They should close the place and start over... This place should be shut down. I am gonna guess the "good" reviews are fake...?? The only person that should walk into this place is the health inspector. I'm really surprised I didn't get sick from the obviously about to go BAD food. Do not go to this place unless you wanna leave angry and hungry and tired and thirsty and also throw away some money into the street for no reason at all because this place is total shite!! Total downer !!! There is literally nothing good about this place. It stinks, it's dirty, the food is bad, and they gave me a busboy to make my drinks talk about a freaking joke!!!! When you post a review, it gives the Management insight into what's happening in the place, so I will tell you the story. I wanted to try the pink taco in Times Square because I had been to the one in Vegas like 20 years ago, (truly sub par) and I thought, wow, New Mexican, let's see if it's any good by the way, it was my birthday so I went over there for brunch, and I sat at the bar because I was a bartender for 20 years and I have 30 years of experience in food service and management so I can spot things pretty quickly When I walked in the place was empty and obviously hadn't been cleaned in about three weeks I should've walked out right then and there, but I didn't I went to the bar: I asked for a virgin bloody Mary salt around the rim extra spicy. I knew something was wrong: this guy really didn't look like a bartender. He was a young kid, and as a former bartender, you can spot a person who obviously doesn't know the way around the bar. Maybe it's my fault for not walking out when I knew something was wrong, but I can warn everybody else not to go there. Great drinks are something you can't fake... Maybe half the staff called in sick; ??? Something was just wrong and the fact that I didn't walk out like I said: I know better. So the guy set this glass in front of me, and it's a weird color. I can tell because I used to make this really kick-ass Bloody Mary mix. I am a complete expert, and this was not a bloody Mary. It wasn't even close... So I think what he did was take hot sauce and put it over ice with a little bit of salt on half of the rim Yeah. I was like wtf ?? It wasn't just spicy. It was a freaking choking hazard.: disgusting and pathetic. It looked and tasted like this guy dumped a lot of Mexican hot sauce over ice for 15 bucks. I guess somebody told him that's what a bloody Mary was. I don't know. Ever heard of Google?? I said "Can you put some tomato juice in this?" He said "no, it's upstairs." (along with your fake bartending experience, I guess) (I was just about ready to walk out ) then he said OK... He comes back with some tomato juice, and he puts maybe 2 teaspoons of tomato juice on top. There was no celery salt, olives There was no horseradish. I still can't believe it, but it was true. in my opinion, this is not his fault. It's the manager's fault: the bar managers fault if, in fact, they even have one, which I bet they don't. So he adds About a 2 tablespoons of tomato juice and hands back to me I think he's lucky that I didn't choke to death. Imagine taking a big swig of nothing but Mexican hot sauce going down your throat. I gave it back to him like this guy has no idea what a bloody Mary even is It's pretty ridiculous for 15 bucks. I gave it back to him and asked for a Pepsi. He gave me Diet Pepsi instead, which I am highly allergic to, so I didn't drink that, but I did pay for it. You don't wanna like to have to explain to a person how to do their own freaking job. Downer !!! It's not this guy's fault. It's Management's fault. and I imagine the place will be bankrupt in a month or two anyway; I've been in the food bar service industry long enough to know, but I digress. Food: it arrived lukewarm, and also about to go bad you could just tell. I ordered cheese enchiladas with green sauce and corn street corn with cream on top. It tasted like it had a bad sour taste, not fresh bitter, and BAD. The enchiladas were just unbelievably mediocre Now I will never go back. it felt like this place was about to go bankrupt anyway there you have it It was 60 bucks, and I paid it with a decent tip: and then I walked out hungry and angry with the taste hot sauce scalding my tonsils: (side note: I have eaten the hottest peppers ever created and it doesn't phase me but this was another level of drinking pure hot sauce: was the guy pulling a joke?) EVEN Taco Bell is way better than this place. I was considering just calling the credit card company and disputing the charge. What do you think ?? 60 bucks, just thrown into the street. Happy birthday. Pink taco, don't go there. There are so many great and cheap Mexican places in Hell's Kitchen, two blocks away.

Got seats at the bar for happy hour and the happy hour is an incredible deal with generous portions. The cauliflower taco ($4) is very tasty and the nachos ($8) are well put together with the ingredients sufficiently spread out. The happy hour is available until 6pm and only in the bar area. The place has a great vibe.
