Your family is in town and dinner is on you

They've done Times Square. You want somewhere they can't get at home and you won't have to apologize for. We're a Mexican rooftop on the far West Side, with rainbow umbrellas, the Midtown skyline and drinks served in a pineapple.

What to tell them before they come

  • The address is 605 W 48th St, between 11th and 12th Avenues. It's about 20 minutes on foot from Times Square, so give the cab driver the address.
  • It's loud. There's a live DJ every night we're open. Say so now, not at the door.
  • Casual is fine, even for the relative who brought a blazer.
  • The roof is glass. It's open on warm days, and closed and heated when it's cold.
  • We're closed on Mondays, which catches a lot of visitors out.

What ends up in the photos they send home

  3. Coco Loco Mojito$25Served in a coconut.
  4. Skull Lava Cake$12A chocolate skull, on a plate, with ice cream.
  5. Trío de Guacamole$38Three bowls, three different guacamoles.

Hosting questions

Where should I take visitors for dinner in NYC?

If they want something fun and a view of the Midtown skyline, try our rooftop. If they want a quiet white-tablecloth dinner, we're not your place.

Can they keep the skull mug?

Yes. The Vozul Skull Margarita ($39) comes in a skull mug that's yours to keep.

Is there parking?

Street parking only, so a cab is often easier.

Do they need to book ahead?

We recommend it. Walk-ins are welcome when there's room, but we can't promise them one.
