Horrible service, both the lady on the phone and delivery man were very rude. I was charged the credit card fee even though I paid with cash. Food was mid, overpriced.

Came here for lunch around 1: 30pm on a friday. Service was great, ladies were very nice and attentive. Ordered an al pastor crunchy taco and omg! So good! Filling and they were not cheap with the meat. Music was good in the background and not super loud. Nice spot thank you.

Fix your happy hour signs instead of gaslighting customers. You have one sign advertising M-F and another M-T.

Food was okay. But for two people lunch, there was a 20% gratuity added to the bill. And the server did not mention anything about the gratuity being already included, when giving out the receipt for us to sign where there’s an additional tip line. Gotta read the bill carefully to avoid double tipping at high percentage!

We've been to Skinny's a few times now and it is always fantastic. The food is consistently fresh and well prepared. The waitstaff is professional & pleasant. The bartender knows how to make a slammin margarita. I mean what else do you need? 5 out of 5.

This used to our favorite place. Being back after a year the service was very disappointing. After we ordered they completely forgot my husband’s meal and we had to asked for it because they didn’t even realize. The waitress wasn’t even coming back to table I had to keep getting up to go to her where she was sitting on a table in to back. We had the passion fruit and tamarind margaritas as we usually did, it was juice.
We are never going back.

I liked their decor and the lovely art work on the walls. The sombreros was a nice touch and the music was nice. Great service.

Enchiladas very good. Chips meh. Service subpar and they charged gratuity for sub-par service on a Thursday night for a table of 2.

The vegetable tacos and vegetales tacos (different dishes) were both very delicious! Not really Tex Mex or "authentic" Mexican style food - more modern/with a twist. Music was way too loud, but friendly staff and good atmosphere otherwise. The salsa they gave with the chips was unusual - more of a blended sort of dip - but still tasty.

Sat down and had to wait 20 minutes for just a drink order

Guac was terrible
Calamari was squishy
And a rat crawled under our table

I DO NOT recommend this restaurant

They also made us pay for our 3 drinks we took one sip from and a bite from both appetizers before the rat came out

The most pathetic and terrible service ever! The bartender took our order with a really bad attitude and took it wrong. The waitress didn’t give us good service. We wait more than 40 minutes for our food for 6 tacos! People that get the place after us were eating already and been served and we still waiting. I complain about it the waitress gave me attitude and brought 14 tacos! When i told her we wanted to leave she brought them anyway!
It was stupid! First train the staff about how to take orders and not being in the back talking while the coustomers are waiting for food!

Food is pretty good. Drinks are ok. Music doesn't need to be as loud. It's a good go to. Family friendly

My best friend and I came here on a beautiful Sunday and it was our first time here. I had a $39 brunch voucher for two people which included one entree each and two hours of bottomless drinks (a rarity considering most restaurants these days do 60 to 90 minutes of bottomless drinks). There is a $2 upcharge for Steak & Eggs and a $5 upcharge for Fajitas. This place had a really good vibe, funky Mexican decor and an amazing mix of music. The staff was really nice & attentive. We never waited for our frozen margaritas (which tasted fantastic by the way). Before we could finish the last bit in our cups our server was ready to give us another one. We were so pleased about that. We both ordered fajitas (I ordered the steak fajitas and my best friend ordered the chicken fajitas). Our orders came with a plate of black beans and yellow rice and also some warm flour tortillas. The fajitas were perfectly seasoned, large in portion, and a great compliment to our frozen margaritas. We cannot wait to return here again. The establishment is just a few blocks away from the waterfront where you can enjoy beautiful scenery with Manhattan views.

The food was great especially if you love spicy food. The drinks were made with a lot of love. Definitely not watered down or mostly juice. Nice place to relax and hang with friends.

Good music and decorations. Food is meh. Margs will get you lit but go for the pitcher - regular size is a rip off.

3 stars because it tastes much better when I’m drunk vs.sober

Otherwise it’s overpriced for the quality

The food was not plentiful. The Guacamole and chips were in a small bowl. The Queso Fondida was too watery. I have had better fajitas with london broil type steak within. This was small well done pieces but the sauce was very good. Always had to ask for more water instead of the servers coming to see if we needed anything. The music and the atmosphere was great.the food and the service was great.recommend this place to anyone.

This place had a really good vibe & music. Staff was really nice & attentive. Food was great & drinks were even better! Just a few short blocks away across the street you can enjoy the water & beautiful scenery with Manhattan views!
