Mustang Grill

If you like to be chased out of a restaurant by a low class waitress asking why her tip is not 20%, than Mustang is the place for you. After waiting more than 15 minutes for our order to be taken and then having the waitress not know how to make certain drinks, our party of 7 was obviously dissatisified. 1 round was enough! We were outside not even 2 minutes when the waitress stormed out of this over-priced Taco Bell to accuse us of being disgusting for not leaving enough tip. To top it off, she threw the money back at us (literally). The drinks were over-priced and that coupled with her extreme rudeness warranted the $1.61 tip. Spare yourself the aggrivation and avoid Mustang.

Cons: service, service, service

I went to Mustang with several friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. The security outside was real nice and friendly but I was surprised but the personnel that worked inside. Not only did we have to wait an unbelievable amount of time, the service was just plain rude. When I asked for a particular drink, the waitress gave me dirty look and annoyed b/c they didn't know what it was. On top of which, her personality was just unpersonable and the wait for the drinks was ridiculously long. I even noticed another waitress have a semi brawl with some other customers outside the place. I totally do not recommend anyone to go. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else.

Pros: catchy name

Cons: waitress, drinks, service

Been going to Mustang for years and years to enjoy margaritas (one of the best I've ever had) and mojitos. A friend suggested the place for dinner the other night and much to my surprise the food was outstanding!!! Always thought of Mustang as a bar, but not anymore. I found out that they recently started delivering, great news for the winter. Can't wait til we can sit outside again though.

Pros: Food, Margaritas, Mojitos

Easily the best Margaritas on the Upper East Side...Awesome Quesadillas, and a great service staff

Pros: Maragaritas, Service, Atmosphere

Posted 01/20/05

The beer was bad, the pitcher of margaritas was way overpriced, and the pseudo-TexMex food was average at best. The quesadilla lacked flavor and was skimpy on ingredients. The fettucine alfredo was okay, but they made it "TexMex" by throwing in a few peppers. We were thirty feet from the door but felt a continual draft. It took a long time for the waiter to bring the check and we had to flag him down. The decor reminded me of an Applebee's or TGIFriday's.

Cons: , price

Mustang Grill was way too crowded and overpriced. The food was definitely edible but also forgettable. They're just kind of shuffling people in and out of the place. Maybe it's a better bar than a restaurant ... I haven't been to the bar section.

Cons: , Too expensive, Very crowded

Was expecting a typical Upper East Side post-college watering hole. Instead, had a great meal, with great service in a very entertaining atmosphere.

I remember this place was great about a year ago. The recent visit with my boyfriend was totally unpleasant. The music playing inside was too loud for people sitting outside. They charged chips and served bread and little muffin. Their margaritas weren't impressive anymore. I felt bad that I dragged my friend to this place. The food was overpriced too.

I wish I knew name of my waitress so I say could say just how bad she was. I took her 10-15 just to take our drink order. Then when we got our food she brought the wrong order and didn't come back for what seemed like a half hour.

My boyfriend and I went on a Friday night and didn't have to wait to be sat at all. It is very loud inside so if you want to have a decent conversation, sit on the front or side patio. We sat on the side patio and our waiter seemed to forget that we were there half the time. The food was ok but the drinks were good and if you love tequila, you will love the choices. Ask for drink refills before you are completely empty or you'll be sitting there with an empty glass for a while.

We had a decent meal at Mustang, but the service was a bit on the slow side. No bread or tortilla chips on the table you have to order that seperate. Ordered an appetizer and the portion was also very small. The food itself is good, and the cigar bar is a plus if you want to hang out afterwards.

This place his a great happy hour... just don't sit at a table during it! My friend and I sat at a table and had about 7 drinks a piece during the 'happy hour,' all the time telling our waiter that we wanted to get a few more drinks "before happy hour ended," only to realize when we got the check that happy hour doesn't apply to the tables!! The food was good, and besides for that mistake our waiter wasn't bad, but I used 80% of her tip to pay the difference in the drinks that she didn't tell us about!

Pros: Happy Hour, Nachos

I just read the review by the guy/girl? that said the service was so poor they felt like they were on candid camera and I can't agree more. It is absolutely laughable. They tend to have three bartenders all standing around while the patrons are waving bills in the air trying to get a drink. This is when it is not crowded, if you ever go in there on a "good" night, you won't be drinking. On the other hand, it will be a cheap night and you definitely will not wake up with a hangover. I live about thirty steps away from the place and nobody I know will go in there.

...if you're stuck in the area. Some of the appetizers are a little out of place with ambitions of prettiness, but the burger is not bad.

Pros: sidewalk seating, margaritas/tequila

Cons: upper east side, upper east side

I just went there for the first time and the place is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and I cant wait to go again. Im planning on it this weekend!

Pros: Freindly

Posted 01/12/03

It's good for a night out. Good drinks, good nightlife, but the food leaves something to be desired. But, after a few drinks, anything tastes good

Pros: Good drinks

Cons: Small portions

Posted 01/08/03

Mustang is excellent, you should have no worries when you eat at this establishment. Very relaxed atmosphere, you could hang out, eat, have a couple of drinks and really enjoy your stay. Friendly waitstaff, no worries.

Pros: great waitstaff, great food, consistent

Check out Mustang the very next chance you get. My girlfriend and went there for dinner last week and spent the entire night. We started out at the bar, then had an amazing dinner. We then headed to the cigar lounge for a smoke and dessert and finished the night off in the downstairs lounge, which I never knew existed. The couches are pretty cozy...
Very good food and great drinks at reasonable prices. Management is the best too. They really make you feel at home.

Pros: food, drinks, cozy couches

good food, great margaritas, ok prices, big place and hot decor

Pros: food, tequila, bar scene

Cons: crowds

Posted 12/07/02

my girlfriend and i hang out a lot at the bar & in the lounge. we get very excited but management wont let us dance on the bar! i guess you just have to relax and enjoy a chicken quesadilla (my favorite) and a martini.

MUSTANG"S LIKE A SOHO REST/LOUNGE. PRICES ARE PERFECT FOR THE NEIGBORHOOD. WE ARE ALWAYS IMPRESSED HOW FRESH THE SEAFOOD AND HOW NICELY THEY PRESENT THEIR FANCY MEXICAN FOOD. DECOR IS COOL WITH COMFY ROOMS TO LOUNGE IN AFTER A MEAL. YOU MUST TRY A EXOTIC MARGARITA. OVER ALL, FAR ABOVE THE RICE & BEANS, BAD TEQUILA YOU GET FROM MOST MEXICAN PLACES. THE FOOD COMPARES WELL WITH ALL THE OTHER FANCY RESTAURANTS ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE BUT YOU PAY LESS (NO STUFFY MAITRE'DS AND MONOTONOUS WHITE TABLECLOTHES). THE PLACE HAS BEEN BUSY SO LONG THAT THE BIG CROWDS WHO GO THERE MUST LOVE DINING IN A PLACE THAT SEEMS LIKE ITS ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING A FULL BLOWN MARDI GRAS. THE WINTER MONTHS ARE REALLY NICE BECAUSE THE WAITS FOR TABLES ARE NOT LIKE CAFE SEASON. JUST CHILL THERE AND FORGET ABOUT THE RECESSION!

Pros: AFFORDABLE, FOOD, BAR SCENE

Cons: SOMETIMES TO BUSY, WHICH TEQUILA TO TRY?

Posted 12/07/02

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY, I HAD GREAT BREAD (LOVED THOSE PUMPKIN MUFFINS AND MEXICAN BREAD) GREAT TAMALES AND A NICE LOBSTER CAKE SPECIAL AND I COULDNT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THE BANANA CREAM PIE WAS. PRICES WONT BREAK THE BANK EITHER.

Pros: DESSERTS, LATE NIGHT MUSIC, LOUNGE

Cons: RESERVATION 6 OR MOR

Posted 12/07/02

MUSTANG GRILL IS GREAT!! IT'S PERFECT FOR WHATEVER YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. TAKE A DATE OR CHILL OUT WITH SOME FRIENDS. CERTAINLY THE BEST NEIGHBORHOOD SCENE ON THE WEEKENDS AND THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT BRUNCH. FOOD IS GREAT AND THE MARGARITAS KICK ASS!!!

Pros: FOOD, REASONABLY PRICED, NICE CROWD
