Occasions · With kids · All ages welcome
Bring the kids. Nobody here will hear them.
All ages are welcome and we have high chairs. The catch is the same thing that makes it easy: it's a party with loud music, every night we're open.
What to order for them
Everything here comes off the regular menu.
- Quesadillas$18The safe one.
- Nachos Locos$18Good for sharing. It comes with jalapeños, so you may want to pick those off.
- Arroz de la Abuela$8Mexican rice, if they're suspicious of everything.
- Mexican Churros$13With Nutella and dulce de leche for dipping.
- Virgin Piña Colada$13So they can have what looks like what you're having.
- Agua Fresca de Piña$8Fresh pineapple water.
It depends on the kid
| Your kid | What we'd do |
|---|---|
| is in a high chair | Book the first table: 5pm on a Sunday, or 5pm on a weeknight. Earlier is calmer. |
| covers their ears at fireworks | Try somewhere else. The DJ plays from the first table. |
| only eats cheese | Quesadillas ($18): Oaxaca cheese on a corn tortilla, with no add-ons. |
| wants to see the skyline | Weekend brunch from 12pm, in the daylight. |
| is a teenager | Wednesday. Karaoke runs 7 to 10pm. Let them embarrass you for once. |
| has just done the Intrepid | The museum is about 5 minutes on foot. We open at 5pm on weekdays and 12pm on weekends. |
A few things for the parents
No one will look twice at a kid who can't sit still. You'll still want a plan for the end of the 90 minutes.
- Tables are held for 90 minutes, which is about as long as most kids last anyway.
- Casual is fine, so dress them for spills.
- We're about 12 minutes on foot from the C/E at 50th St. With little legs, a cab is easier.
- Can't face going out? We deliver through Uber Eats.
- Our Christmas Posadas run on Sundays through December 20, with a kids' ticket at $20 plus fees.
