Reviews about Kuxe

s are tasty — I had a mezcal one and didn't have any complaints. Solid!

For my main I had the chile relleno. It's one of my favorite Mexican dishes to get when I'm out because it's really hard to make at home. A chile relleno is a cheese-stuffed poblano pepper dipped in fluffy egg batter and fried until golden brown. It's usually served with salsa roja sauce. Their version was great and bursting with cheese. The pepper was drowning in sauce so unfortunately I didn't get any of the wonderful lightly crispy texture. But overall it was good.

This is a fun spot and a mid-end Mexican place in the village

our family like I did.

Drinks were great. I had a spicy marg and a Paloma and both had great kick and weren't too sweet. All of the food was very authentic and in general the whole experience felt authentic as well. Delicious, large portions and good meat. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection. Wasn't too expensive either. Awesome spot and I'll be back

e were served the Tacos de Birria, which neither of us have tried but both enjoyed a lot. The consommé added an amazing amount of flavor to the tacos. We drank the consommé afterwards and were very impressed by how flavorful and hearty it was.

We had a little bit of an issue picking the main course but ended up settling on the Molcajete dish. We were amazed by the sizzling stone pot with steak, cheese, shrimp, and chicken and a few sides. Despite being a mix of many different things, everything was delicious.

We left Kuxe feeling very full and content. Overall we had a very positive experience here and I would not hesitate to return to try their other options.

here! Takeout is always perfect too. My only complaint is I wish they stayed open later on the weekdays!

was a nice light drink.

The menu is really cool, they give you a little story of what each dish represents to them and the history behind it.

My party and I ended up getting a little bit of everything. The lamb shank, came with a side of tortillas and rice/beans. Another friend ended up getting the mole, and they were pleased with the way the mole came out.

My partner and I ending up ordering the tacos de Birria with consome, tacos dorado, and the enfrijoladas. Everything was delicious, full of flavor and fresh. The consome was one of the better ones I've tried, hearty and full of flavor.

One of the main reasons I really wanted to check this place out was because they serve heirloom corn tortillas which are hand pressed.

s spot out.

e first to request salsa to add to tacos, but it was not needed this time. The consome had a really nice kick to it. It was spicy, but not overwhelming. While the tacos are great, the portion size is on the small side. If you plan on just ordering tacos, I would recommend adding a side or splitting an extra order of tacos.

It's rich, unctuous and juicy — definitely get the consomme to dip it in. Like a Mexican French dip! The guacamole comes with homemade corn tostadas and chicharrons, and you can get it in varying spice levels — the smoky heat may be from an ancho chile or similar. I liked the ceviche too; it had a panoply of seafood and I liked the flavors and textures. I didn't care for it being served on top of a tostada that quickly turned soggy, though. The cauliflower side had a nutty hot chili oil dressing that was tasty though a bit too oily for me.

Check out the desserts too! Especially the bunuelos. They're like dessert version of tortillas, where corn crepes are deep fried to a crisp and coated in a cinnamon sugar, and then three or four of those was filled with ice cream in between, much like an ice box cake. The manager actually gave these to us on the house since we didn't know what they were about — and I'm so glad we got the chance to try them! The churros were crisp and fluffy and light. The rice pudding was more watery than expected and had the consistency of Chinese congee, although I did enjoy the textural contrasts added from the sliced bananas and caramelized popcorn topping.

beautiful. Rosana our server was SO sweet as well as the manager and other staff. Just reopened, new concept, good prices, authentic Amazing food that came from Mexico and most importantly such kind attentive hospitality! Servers, manager were all so nice and friendly. This kind of hospitality is so hard to find in New York City. It made the experience that much more excellent. Thank you Kuxe for coming to NYC!!
