" I popped by AY GUEY NYC Cantina expecting great food and I wasn't disappointed! It’s a charming little place with bright decor and comfortable seating. The tacos we ordered were packed with flavor, and the freshness of everything was apparent, from drinks to food. The wait was a bit longer than expected but made for great conversation. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the experience was enjoyable, I found the menu to be quite limited in terms of options. The taste of the food was excellent, no complaints there; I just hoped for a bit more variety. The ambiance was lovely, making it a perfect place for a casual dinner. The margaritas were fabulous and paired wonderfully with the tacos. I’d say worth a visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" AY GUEY NYC Cantina has swept me off my feet! From the moment I sat down, I could tell that this place was special. We tried the ceviche and carne asada, both of which were exceptional. I appreciate how much attention is given to the presentation and flavor; the dishes felt like a piece of Mexico came alive on my plate. The margaritas exceeded my expectations — they are refreshing and pack a punch! However, the service was slightly lacking; we had to flag someone down a couple of times. Overall, the experience was fantastic and I can't wait to go back for Taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city! The enchiladas were to die for; they had just the right amount of cheese. I can hardly describe how good the flavors were—they reminded me of family dinners back in Mexico. The ambiance is cozy, and the decor brings a joyful splash. As for the drinks, Artemio made the best margarita I have ever tasted! I strongly recommend everyone to stop by and give it a try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly impressed with AY GUEY NYC Cantina! The food was delightful, especially the hot and fresh churros that melted in my mouth.

The restaurant had a warm and welcoming vibe, making me feel at home. I will absolutely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely experience at AY GUEY NYC Cantina for my birthday dinner! From the lively atmosphere to the vibrant food choices, everything felt special. My favorite dish was the shrimp tacos, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The staff are attentive and kind, although we did have to wait a little longer for our mains.

" After hearing rave reviews, I decided to try AY GUEY NYC Cantina with my family. The food was delicious and I can confidently say the birria tacos were my favorite dish of the evening; it was authentic and flavorful! The service was pleasant, although we felt a bit rushed at times. Still, I love the vibe here and the enjoyment in the air made up for it. Definitely planning to return for family gatherings!
