The Black Ant - New York

Well, The portions were not huge but that doesn't matter. The place has amazing food. I mean who would have thought that roasted grasshoppers would have been that good. This is one of the few places where I found that all dishes are as good as it gets. We had a party of 6 having dinner and all our dishes came out wonderful, duck, octopus, suckling pig, ceviche, roasted grasshoppers (I still cannot believe I had those), the beat salad, shrimp and tequila to match. The Churros and Merengue seems to polish off the great meal wonderfully. The place doesn't pretend like most places that it's a haut cuisine restaurant but it definitely is getting more there then just being a neighborhood bar, as it appears from the outside.

Coming from a Mexican background where I compare all Mexican food to my moms, this place was delicious! My sister and I visited for brunch on a Saturday morning and it was a little slice of heaven! She had the poached eggs and I had the enchiladas verdes, which by the way at some point we just closed our eyes and indulged in the what was about to be the best Mexican food in the city! You the crafted drinks were also very tasty! We will definitely bennack and recommend this to anyone looking for a true taste of Mexico!

Amazing food like contemporary mexican prheispanic food top of top, great service

Probably one if not the best Mexican restaurants in Manhattan. It's well worth the trip downtown for the guacamole alone! We got a table for seven in a semi-private room in the back which was awesome. To top it off, it's very reasonably priced. I recommend the Jalapeño Margarita.

Good tasty food and a great price. Went on a Saturday afternoon. Enjoyed a few cocktails and apps off the happy hour menu that ran from 4 to 7. Great service!! I would recommend.
