Covacha

Guacamole is a must-get dish. The cauliflower tacos were delicious as well.

Couldn’t have asked for a better spot to go for Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽 the food was incredible and they even had live mariachis for the holiday! As a Latina, it was a wonderful cultural experience to be able to enjoy authentic Latin food, great margaritas, and a lively vibe with the live mariachis 🎵 I didn’t even know this was a Michelin restaurant till I got here and I see why!! The shrimp tacos, pipián plato, and tres leches were our favorite! The pipián plato was also vegan which was a huge plus for anyone with dietary restrictions or just wanting to eat plant based 🌱 Amazing service and vibes! Thank you to our waiter Alexia and Carla for seating us promptly on a busy day without a reservation. 10/10 experience and I can’t wait to come back!! 😊

To start off, the food was absolutely outstanding. The guac was out of this world with flavor and spice and the tacos had flavor and depth. Drinks were very good as well and the ingredients for the drinks blended together really well. The main star of the visit was the customer service. Each staff person made plenty of touch points and our table felt like we never had to ask or look for help. The staff made the recommendations for everything and was confident and spot on. If you're in the area, must go!!!

This place is solid. The food and drinks were on point. The happy hour is well worth the prices. The tacos were super fresh and juicy and the entree portion was enough for us (3 people). We shared 2 appetizers, 3 tacos, a main entree and 2 desserts. Everything hit! The staff were amazing and super attentive and the music matched the vibe. Can’t wait to come back.

My birthday luncheon! I was welcomed and promptly seated as a walk-in. I was fortunate to have Alexia as my server, knowledgeable, smiling face, prompt and attentive to my food tastes. She was very helpful with her suggestive dishes. Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit. Great ambiance and the restaurant is full of energy. Seemed like a smooth flow auto run place. I had a list of a few IG’s dishes that I realllllllllly wanted to try Chef Lilly’s specialties, but none were available- I guess seasonal. I had a mental palate to try’em all, but was disheartened…maybe another time. Kudos to the team for a very well run operation. 👏😋🫶‼️ Ty Alexia for friendly service.

The service here is amazing. Our server at the bar gave great dish recommendations and everything was incredible. The cocktails are definitely worth coming for— I recommend the cilantro gimlet. We loved the pork belly carnitas tacos and Zarandeado.

Mexican restaurant on UWS on the Michelin guide, pretty self explanatory!<br><br>Saturday afternoon quite busy, lots of reservations and walk ins. Portions were generous and flavours top tier. The guac had a chilli oil on it that was immense and homemade tortillas.<br><br>Homemade lemonade was gorgeous! Sometimes they can be a little tart but this was perfectly sweet and lemony.<br><br>Birria quesadilla was a highlight, birria not too spicy which was great for me but my partner would’ve rathered more fire.<br>The chipotle shrimp taco was lovely and had the spice missing from the birria. Pork taco spot on.<br><br>Overall excellent meal!!

I wandered around the Natural History Museum and happened to find this restaurant, which was rated Michelin 2025. The food was amazing. I ordered fish tacos and chilaquiles rojos, both very authentic, spicy, layered, and full of flavor. Sergio is also incredibly nice, and he introduced the restaurant’s signature dishes and even shared stories about his hometown. Now I really want to go to South America this year.

I’ve been coming here for years—Covacha consistently delivers delicious, authentic Mexican food with a fresh twist. Lovely ambience, excellent vegetarian options, and beautiful presentation.

Cozy, nice vibe, and excellent drinks. We had a few apps, fish tacos and chicken enchiladas, and everything was bursting with color and flavor. It reminded us or the food we had on our drive around rural places in Yucatan. Will be back for sure.

delivers! All of the food was outstanding. The guacamole ashes looked beautiful and was a little different. The quesadilla negra was exceptional. The sauce and the crema worked so well together, lots of texture. The barbaco tapatia was perfectly cooked, crispy outer layer, rich and tender beef. The tortillas were well made. I thought the rice and the beans could use more flavor. The service was fast.

Came here with a few colleagues on a Monday night. The immediate impression was good. The restaurant had a warm pleasant vibe.<br><br>The food, alas, was a little underwhelming. I generally enjoy fish tacos, but these were slightly bland. And the tortilla soup was too salty for me. The other dishes were alright, but alas these two were the only ones memorable, but not in a positive way.

I visited Covacha on a late Friday evening.<br>Parking around the premises was surprisingly easy.<br>Truly enjoyed the food. The Tacos were spectacular, so was the Guacamole.<br>The staff was friendly, authentic and attentive. Great choice if your are looking for a elevated Mexican cuisine. 🇲🇽

Stopped here for happy hour on a Tuesday and was seated quickly. They had some seating outside, but it’s right on the sidewalk so we ate inside instead. The air conditioning was working great!<br>I got the Spicy Reaper mocktail - honestly, best and cheapest mocktail I’ve ever had. Didn’t taste like sweet juice, had a nice kick to it, and only $8!<br>Chicken flautas were tasty, had the perfect crunch, and a yummy green sauce. My shrimp taco was filled to the brim and tasted really fresh. My favorite had to be the queso fundido with chorizo - sooooo good, it was perfect.<br>The only things I will say are the happy hour portions are on the smaller side (as expected) and the prices aren’t amazing for HH.<br>The waitstaff was nice and we got served all our food at once, about 10ish minutes or so after we ordered.<br>Would definitely come back again to try their brunch or regular dinner!

Absolutely loved my experience at Covacha! The pulled pork tacos were packed with flavor—perfectly tender and topped with just the right amount of fresh garnish. The chicken flauta was beautifully presented and tasted incredible, with the vibrant sauces adding a delicious touch. The margaritas were spot on—balanced, refreshing, and the ideal complement to the meal. Service was solid throughout, attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for elevated Mexican cuisine in a fun, colorful setting. Will definitely be back!
