" Even though I enjoyed my meal, I feel other areas could use some improvement. The food was delicious, and the margarita was top-notch, but the service was lacking at times. We had to wait for our drinks longer than I expected. If someone could focus on better staffing during peak times, it would elevate the experience significantly. I appreciate the authentic flair of the food though! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a discovery! AY GUEY NYC Cantina is everything I could have asked for from a Mexican restaurant. The decor is simplistic yet charming, and the warmth you feel as soon as you walk in makes you want to stay. I tried the birria tacos, and they were beyond compare, savory and juicy. My friends raved about the margaritas as well; the mixologist clearly knows his craft! The service was excellent, and the waitstaff were attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend it for anyone searching for authentic Mexican dining! " (*Curated Review*)

However, the service got a bit chaotic during peak hours, which dampened the experience. Nonetheless, the staff was friendly and attentive when they could be. " (*Curated Review*)
