"Nouvelle" Mexican Done Right "Among NYC restaurants that gussy up Mexican food for Gringo foodies, Hell's Kitchen is among the best. Offering less expensive, better food and drink, and a modicum of comfort and courtesy, Hell's Kitchen is worth a little trek. Staff was unfailingly accomodating and polite. The chef has a rare deft hand with the deep frier as evidenced in the pita-like toasts offered gratis (instead of the usual crisp tortillas) with an excellent black bean dip, the surprisingly delicate duck empanada on red mole, and the banana pastry for dessert. An excellent balance of textures and flavors in the red snapper on a bed of plantains, onions and tomato, all in banana leaf - fine attention to detail in the prep. And with the excellent pairing of wines, Hell's Kitchen is a cornerstone in the neighborhood that it bears it's name from.

1 Review of Hell's Kitchen in New York ...Write yours here! Can't go wrong! By Chrysta W. Hell's Kitchen is one of our favorite restaurants for dinner when visiting New York City. You really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu...and the drinks are not so bad either. First Review! Posted 05/07/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No (you must log in or sign up to vote) 5 Reviews by Citysearch: (read all 49 reviews on Citysearch) Phenomenal Restaurant! Honestly this is my favorite restaurant in NYC. The atmosphere is great, the food is phenomenal, the service is lovely and it's just overall an incredible restaurant/food and experience. Ordered the sea bass, the guacamole as an appetizer, the banana empanadas for dessert. A really most delightful experience and it's relatively inexpensive as well. Don't forget to try the Sangria as well. You'll be coming back again and again. Pros: Food/Ambience/Price/Selection Cons: Nothing for me Posted 09/28/08 at 9:18pm horrible crowd the people who sat next to us were harassing us and making racial jokes while we were sitting next to them. It was an awful dining experience. especially in nyc??! felt like i was in mississippi. Its a shame because the food was good but it was just unbearable especially the finance dooshes harassting us during our meal. Dont understand why hells kitchen attracts such trash. really not cool Cons: bad crowd Posted 08/28/08 at 12:10am Not your Ordinary Mexican Spot My over all experience was very nice. A few of my girl friends met up for dinner and drinks and we wanted to try a new place and decided to try Hells Kitchen. It ambiance was cool. The food was great and so were the drinks. The only problem that I had was our waiter was not the nicest. Pros: Great food Posted 05/04/08 at 5:24pm TERRIBLE service! If you want to make reservations for a Saturday night, plan ahead of time for a 2 hour dinner and leave no room for lateness because you will certainly be reminded by the host or manager that you are running out of sync with their reservation cycle in the middle of dinner. The waiter/waitress was unfriendly, neglectful and moreover useless when asked for food advice; luckily, the menu descriptions were enticement enough. There are a few key dishes that I would recommend: the ceviche, the grilled shrimp entree and flan were delicious. Overall, the service, the food, and the experience, I would not recommend this restaurant, unless you're intent on throwing away a lot of money on a mediocre dinner. Pros: some delicious dishes Cons: poor service Posted 04/29/08 at 7:03am This is the place for Mexican Food Try the Margaritas and munchies. Best value @@@@. The burrito was good and the service even better. Not pricey. Posted 01/05/08 at 2:17pm
