Alma Negra

Certainly in the top ten modern Mexican cuisine restaurants in NYC. The dessert in my photo had flavors you would tell your friends about.

Service was the best of its kind.

Coctails were powerfully flavorful, in a great way.

Tacos were excellent.

Food is incredible !
Service amazing !
Every plate that we tried it was yummy, pollo adobado was super good, I can’t wait to go back

I must say, this Mexican restaurant is truly an authentic gem. The flavors of their food are absolutely delightful, especially the mouthwatering tortillas and the flavorful pollo adobado. The overall ambiance and the service provided are outstanding, and we are truly grateful to Alejandra for ensuring that our dining experience was exceptional.

My friend and I popped in Alma Negra for a quick drink and appetizer - it was FANTASTIC! The cocktails were incredibly well made and the guacamole was delicious. Based on the full tables, this new restaurant is clearly a hit. I can’t wait to go back for dinner!

We had a very good experience. And probably, the place was opened by a person who used to work at the restaurant; because the place has an eye to the most tiny details :)

* the place is pretty stylish and very cozy
* tasty drinks especially if you appreciate cocktails
* staff is very pleasant and professional
* food not bad at all (a bit a room of improvement)

We came for dinner, but we did not have a reservation. It was Sunday night and fully sold out. The manager was very welcoming and he helped us out. There were four of us, and we could have stayed at the bar or a covered patio. Very important: the patio is very warm and do not be opposed to sitting over there.

The bartender was great, the drinks were tasty, balanced and with a hint to mixology.

We ordered a lot of food, and we did enjoy most of it, but the tacos were a bit dry and they did not serve lime and salsa with tacos. Some of the dishes were missing something that would make them unforgettable, but all food was good. You have to try the corn (maíz) that they have -- it is really good!

When we were sitting at the table, the drinks were coming not all together, but in a mixed order, and with a bit of delay.

I give strong four stars ⭐️ , it really deserves it and I am sure the place will only improve!
We certainly will be back for cocktails & corn! :)

P.S. so sorry for my red-ish photos. It is because we had a heating lamp on.
