Mi Nidito

it was on a Monday night that we walked by the restaurant. It was a little after 10 and I peeked in to ask if they were opened. She said sure come on in. I asked how late are you open and she reluctantly told me 10:30. I can tell she didn't want me to feel rushed. We ended up leaving after 11. We sat and talked to the owner for quite a while and really enjoyed it. I had a big traditional margarita and it was excellent. We had the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas and loved them. The shrimp was particularly good. The place is really small and intimate. I really enjoyed it there. If I lived in New York I would go there once a week. I eat a lot of Mexican food and the salsa was the best I've ever had.

Be forewarned. There is expensive in New York and there is overpaying for poor quality food. I don’t come to a Mexican restaurant and expect to have Basmati rice or poorly prepared meat, nor a sour mix-based margarita. This food would barely be passable at 18 dollars per person let alone at 30-40 dollars per person. I won’t comment on service, just note the posted 20% gratuity plus 4% for card transactions.

Dude this is not a 4 1/2 star restaurant. The place is tiny. It has 3 tables. It has a full bar. I asked if i could get a mezcal margarita. He said no because the margaritas are premade. The menu is massive. I couldn't understand how a menu could be so big for such a massive restaurant until i realized most of the food is frozen then reheated. A bit expensive overall. Mixed seafood enchiladas $25. So so Margarita $16

Definitely try the grilled chicken quesadillas, they offer free salsa and chips with lunch special, worth the money. The restaurant is very small but they have a larger one on tenth avenue. The waiters in both spots are very friendly!

Moved to NY from California. At first had a crisis as difficult to find GOOD Mexican food. Lots of Italian, but like California sucks for Italian food, NY has some work to do Mexican food wise. Finally found authentic Mexican at Mi Nidito, 9th ave hells kitchen and 10th / 54th street location. Thank god, as I was about to head back to California. I highly recommend. Nothing fancy just good food.

Super-kind, hospitable staff and happy hour deals to seize. Thankfully, amongst all the beers made by international conglomerates, there was also a Mexican craft beer on draught. The food is Mexican-inspired, let's say, as the the quesadilla had enough cheese and sour cream on it to provide a calcium ration for a family of 6. It was good, though.

The best margaritas in mid town, good prices, I think the friendliness host I had in Manhattan. Good mexican beers, awesome fresh chips, and the best guacamole I tasted in new York. If your into authentic mexican food, this is the place.

Wow. The meat in the food is very tasty. Not like chain Mexican restaurants. Chimichanga's chicken and veggies had that smokey grilled taste. Ground beef had a chili flavor to it. Very good. Large portions. Lots of margarita flavors and sizes. Mango was good. Service was also top notch. Would be pricey where I'm from Wa state, 80 bucks for 2 dinner plates and a small margarita. Would be a regular if I was a local. Very small space.

Delicious. I'm from out of town so it was a bit pricey, but it's NYC so I feel like a similar place wouldn't be cheaper. But good food and good margaritas. Small portion of guac for the $12 it was, and fyi there's a LOT of cilantro and onion in it so if you're not a fan of either of those you probably wouldnt love it's luckily my friend and I like both. Got margs to go!! Vegetarian options: Whole part of the menu on vegetarian dishes Dietary restrictions: Have notes by each item saying if it's GF or V etc.

As former residents of NYC, we are a little more than familiar with Mi Nidito. We returned this weekend to enjoy our favorite dish their incomparable Seafood Enchilada and were not disappointed. In more than 25 years visiting this establishment, I’ve never had a bad meal. What truly stands out with this neighborhood eatery is their service. The owner has always been kind and clearly insists that everyone in his employ take customer service to the next level. It’s the trickle down theory in action! Let’s review: you start going to Mi Nidito for the food. Crazy good enchiladas, guacamole and the freshest salsa you’ll ever have. Good choice! You return for the service.
