Julia is the best! She gifted us a beautiful not pecan pie pecan slice. The tacos are delicious. The drink options are fun, happy hour is a great deal. Atmosphere is fun and laid back. Many options to take in the view. They treated us so well here.

Not a fan. We got turned around trying to find this place and arrived about 10 minutes after our reservation time and were told we would not be able to have lunch because kitchen was closed. Proceeded to sit anyway and try a drink since we were already there. Once sat , we watched the tables surrounding us putting in their food orders, proving they could have very well accommodated our food order. Since I was in a good mood I ignored it and tried a drink which was nothing special. The drink was actually one of worse drinks I’ve had. So yes 0/10 for this place. Wouldn’t try again.

I honestly don’t know why more people aren’t talking about elNico. I’ve been a few times now, and I think it’s one of the best cocktail bars in the city.These are my recommendations: the Bidi Bidi Bom Fashioned, Santo Pepino, Passion Berry Negroni, and Panamericano.If you like spirit forward cocktails, get the Bidi Bidi Bom Fashioned. Toasted coconut, black sesame, and Szechuan peppercorn is a flavor combination that you wish you had earlier. I’m addicted to this and get this every time.The Santo Pepino is super easy to drink. It has lacto-fermented cucumber and dill. I could drink 10 of these in a sitting, easily.Passion Berry Negroni I didn’t see on the menu this last visit but honestly any of their seasonal Negronis are great. This time was a Pandan Negroni. Typically I don’t like Negronis and I can rarely taste Pandan in cocktails but I love this Negroni and you can definitely taste the Pandan!Panamericano wasn’t on the menu when I was last there, but I see it online. It had cantaloupe, hazelnut, and a slice of cheese in it. Sounds weird but it’s delicious and one of my favorites. I think right now they have a different version of it.For food, I always get the guac and chips to start. I’ve had different versions of tacos and tlayudas and they’re always great. They may be some of the most expensive tacos you’ll buy LOL but I promise they look and taste amazing.I prefer to go before 10PM because afterwards they turn down the lights and it becomes quite loud, but if I’m in the mood it’s such a great vibe! I have no complaints of service, always friendly!I truly love this place and hope it gets the hype it deserves. One of my favorite bars in the city!

Everything I tried here was absolutely delicious! It was hard to pick a favorite. Drinks are creative and fun and the mezcal list is extensive and impressive. The panoramic views are gorgeous and the whole place is picturesque! The deconstructed pecan pie was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a while. Will definitely be back!

Over priced, tasteless food. This is a rooftop restaurant so you are paying for the view of Midtown. Nothing special about this place.

It was good but a bit pricey. The food took a very long time to come out even though it wasn't even packed. Service was nice about it

It is and always will be an unforgettable experience, my family and I were satisfied. The food, the cocktails and in general the attention of the entire team (kitchen, bar, restaurant, hotel) at El Nico was spectacular. The facilities are cozy, the human warmth is felt and pleasant, and from there we can see a great panoramic view of the city. Super recommended!!! Thanks again everyone for your attention.

Awesome experience! Every dish was delicious, drinks were great, and service was top notch. Loved the ambiance as well, swanky vibes with a sick rooftop view. We had the chicken which came with a bangin’ cabbage slaw, wagyu tartare, guac, caramelized onion tlayuda, Brussels sprouts, and Birria tacos. Great spot for a date night or night out with friends!

TLDR: Easily one of my favorite places in the city for cocktails. Came in a group of friends on recommendation of Dial A Drunk. We basically ordered everything on the menu. Of what we had, my favorites were the Bidi Bidi Bom Fashioned and the Santo Pepino. I didn't see it on the menu but if they ever bring back the Passion Berry Negroni, that is also a definite must order! Tried a lot of the seasonal menu as well and those were just as great. Food was great as well. Felt like a crime seeing how expensive the tlayuda was but it was quite good. I think the guac is quite good as well. Service was attentive and friendly. Interior is quite cute. Would bring a date or a group of friends here. Overall: I feel like this place rivals many of the 50 Best Bars I've been to around the world!

I almost don’t want to leave a review for fear that this amazing secret Williamsburg place will become impossible to get in to.Wonderful interior design, really cool aesthetics, views to die for, and an instagrammers dream (even the toilets!).The food is exceptional. I forgot to take a pic of the menu so I can’t remember what my starter was called (a very tasty cheese on a big round taco). Gorgeous.Vegetarian soft shell tacos for the main were gorgeous and the Churros were a perfect way to finish offThe staff couldn’t have been more friendly and attentive!Love this place and will definitely be back… often!

A culinary delight! Great food, exquisite flavors. Tommy, our waiter was phenomenal and his recommendations and amazing his hospitality really enhanced our memorable dining experience. And best of all the views here were absolutely stunning. Will be returning here.We ended up staying late and were the last ones out, not once did they rush us out and let us finish whenever we were done.I recommend the wagyu tartare and the espresso martini was really great!

They make some really good broccolini tacos I was also impressed by the atmosphere, very artsy-contemporary oriented. Would highly recommend.
