Affordable and delicious! Great homemade ice cream for dessert!

Nontraditional BBQ, but hella good.

Great roast pork buns, sesame balls and donuts. But they often run out of the good stuff!

Great tacos!

I actually feel a little bad giving any place a one-star review, but Bonita deserves it. And I'm specifically giving them that review based on their horrible, watered down, over-priced sangria, the fact that they do not provide chips like every good Mexican restaurant in NYC and their tiny, flavorless, boring tacos.

My full review on Tacos Por Vida: http://tacosporvida.wo...

I hit this place for a breakfast taco and that, apparently, was a huge mistake.

I guess I expected a taco with flavor and substance, but all I got was some mediocre scrambled eggs, a slightly spicy sausage and some ew-y gooey cheese tossed into a bland tortilla shell. No sauce, no peppers or extras or anything. It was just bland food served in a bland way. I also got a side of potatoes and beans. That was just fatty and nasty. Yuck.

We have a more robust review of their chicken burrito at http://tacosporvida.wo... - Tacos Por Vida.

Oh, and by full bar, I mean you can get a margarita (which I'm told isn't bad there).

I loved it, but it wasn't perfect!

Meal-wise, we ordered a few things. I got the three taco plate (two steak brisket and one pork taco), Elizabeth got the one  beef taco/one chicken enchilada/one cheese enchilada combo, her sister Juli got the tortilla soup and her boy-toy Steven got the chicken fajita plate. I can't comment on Juli and Steven's food, though they seemed happy with their grub. I tasted Elizabeth's dish and thought the beef taco (hard) was pretty decent, the chicken enchilada was real good and the cheese enchilada was great. My tacos?

Best hard tacos around. Kickass green sauce. Amazing chips.

I actually signed up for Yelp because of Bouley. Yesterday marked my first anniversary with my girlfriend and I celebrated it by both asking her to marry me (she said yes, 'natch) and by taking us to a fancypants restaurant. Bouley wasn't my first choice, but after doing some research prior to yesterday, it seemed like a good choice.

Oh how right I was.

The food was phenomenal, the wine selection was great, the wait staff was AMAZING, the atmosphere was perfect (we heard a quiet, wonderful cover of a Smiths song while at dinner which made us giggle happily) and it really was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

We both had the four-course tasting menu and it knocked our collective socks off. The chef, upon hearing that we'd just gotten engaged from the waiter, brought us a complimentary--and delicious--creme brulee with "Congragulations" written on the plate. We were never wanting for anything, be it food, water or privacy.

Was it expensive? Sure. Was it worth it? You betcha.
