Whenever I find myself on the Upper East Side during a weekend night I also stop by here for a few margaritas and some yummy shots. My fave is the the Gang Green shot with citrus vodka and TY KU- goes down so smoothly. Great place to pre-party at!
My girl loves this place so we're here at least once a month. I guess we're regulars now and the waitresses are dope, always helpful and what not. Most recently Jen...i think her name was suggested the winter vacation with tyku to go with our meal. The wifey could not stop raving about it, 4 drinks later and I had to carry her outta mustangs. I'm not gonna lie tho it was pretty good but maybe nex...
This neighborhood tequila house/grille is literally two blocks away from my apt, smack dab in the middle of (in my opinion) one of the most exciting and up and coming neighborhoods on the fabulous island of Manhattan. I will admit, I have given this place a visit once or twice for drinks during the summer when it was still tolerable to sit outside. Unfortunately, the service was less than desirab...
Overall I'm content with my visits to Mustang but their tunes selections SUX!!! I don't mind listening to Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, the Doors, the Clash, Rolling Stones. But do we have to hear the same ol same ol EVERY DAY over the... last several months???? The joint used to play a variety of music during the happy hours, including good Latin songs. Maybe I need to wear an ipod while sippi...
My boyfriend and I eat regularly here. This is one of the best "quick eats" places on second avenue. The bloody mary's are great (very spicy) and I highly recommend the shrimp with chorizo rice (Mmm tasty). The only problem is that they have a high turnaround of servers (with good reason too, because there are only a few that are actually pleasant). At other restaurants that we regularly go t...
one of the better spots on second avenue followed by the stumble inn and brother jimmys. so-so food.
Mustang is a great place to have Happy Hour and have fun at the same time. The food is okay, but you go there for the atmosphere and the decor. If you're looking for a quiet place, this is not it.
This bar/restaurant has a variety of tex-mex offerings and some great frozen drinks. The outdoor seating is really great when the weather is nice. An overall fun place to have a drink and food with friends.
This place is a restaurant and party all in one (even though dancing is strictly prohibited by the numerous signs on the walls). The food and drinks are really very good and the atmosphere is colorful and loud. A good way to start or end a fun night out on the Upper East Side!
If you're craving a burrito or some tacos late at night, you definitely need to come here!
The decor is colorful and the clientele is diverse. Not exactly the cleanest place..but the food is just what one is looking for late at night or after a sweaty basketball game!
Have fun!
My friend and I decided to walk around the other night to try to find a place to eat. We decided on Mustang Grill because from outside it seems like a fun place to enjoy dinner and drinks. Specifically, because of the outside cafe, the colorful interior, decorations, the great music, the attractive staff, and the open doors in the front make it very inviting to come in. We went in and sat down an...
My boyfriend and I went to eat at Mustang Grill last Thursday. We sat down, and the server took our order for my favorite strawberry margaritas. Before she left she suggested and explained a few things on the "specials menu". She was very nice and the restaurant was very busy. I appreciated that she was taking her time to explain to us what they had and was not rushing because I knew she was very...
My friends and I held a birthday part a Mustang Grill the other night. We had a really good time. They restaurant gave us this really nice back room, so it made our party more private. The service was very good. The waitress took really good care of us. We ordered a lot of appetizers; my favorite was the enchiladas and the chicken quesadillas. They have really good guacamole too! The margaritas w...
Just had to post. We ordered drinks. 5 minutes later orderd food. Apps came and were eaten before we ever got our first drink. Waiter noticed and apologized foor the new bartender who was "retarded". A little uncooth to say but we got his point. We got it even more when we ordered our shots of Patron at $14 a pop and as i swung mine back, 3 little ice cubes fell on my teeth and blocked the route ...
My boyfriend and I go to eat early on Sunday evening and hear that Mustang is good. It's beautiful out, see that there's no less than 4 open tables outside, so we request to be seated outside. The hostess tells us that there's a 20-30 minute wait to be seated outside. There were EMPTY TABLES outside and very few people at the bar who could have been waiting. We are seated by a window inside inste...
I've been living on the UES for about a year and half. This weekend I finally got to Mustang Grill. I always see how busy it is and now I know why. My friends and I were greeted by the most beautiful hostess I have ever seen. We opted to go to the bar for drinks first though. Bartender was really cool and made for a fun time. We notified the hostess that we'd like a table outside and we wer...
I went there last night with some friends after reading all the good reviews in this site. I can?t believe those reviews were written by actual customers! This was the worst place I?ve ever been to. The food was nasty and the service was a joke. When were seated the waiter bought over some chips and salsa like they do at all Mexican restaurants and he made a point of telling us how he would do us...
STILL AN UES GREAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME!! BEEN GOING FOR YEARS AND THEY TREAT ME LIKE FAMILY. JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD GIVE THEM THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT THEY DESERVE. I LOVE U TOO ROB!!!!!!!!!!
Lived in the neighborhood my entire 33 years and used to go to Mustang ALL the time. For some reason, my busy life has taken me away and I haven't been in quite some time. Well let me tell you, I took my girlfriend there last weekend and I was absolutely floored!! This place is still going strong and better than ever. There has certainly been a management change and, rumor has it, new ownersh...
Terrible atmosphere for couples. Went with my husband for a celebratory dinner. Though we had a reservation, we were squeezed into a tiny table between 2 larger parties, one of which contained the loudest, most obnoxious drunks I have ever encountered. They were right on top of us. Truly the worst of New York (please move away!). Food was good, service was good but a modicum of consideration need...
I have to say I was thoroughly thrown off guard. I knew ownership had changed, but I had been there so many times before. I obviously enjoy the atmosphere, the music and great looking staff is something to behold.
The waiter was to the table in under 30 sec., took our drink order, and indulged in light conversation. Upon returning with drinks we had ordered the special Grilled Calamari app...
I agree with the person who wrote the review below! I went there on Saturday and when we were still deciding what to order our waiter asked us if we wanted some chips and salsa while we waited. Sounds free to me! He brought them over along with guacamole (which was never mentioned and we never asked for). When the bill came - SHOCKING - we were charged $6.50!!!! $3 for the guacamole!! We we...
Our waitress was not especially friendly and tended to go missing....so when we ordered our drinks, the waitress asked if we wanted chips and salsa while we waited and we agreed. Later on, she asked if we wanted a refill. We said sure. Then we get the bill and they charged us $3 for each basket of chips and salsa! If you are going to offer them, you should let the people know that you are goi...
I went to Mustang for the first time to watch the Giants in the playoffs. After walking inside, I was a little concerned because it didn't look like the typical "football joint." Well, after the first playoff game (and a big Giants victory!), we had such a good time that we decided to go back the following week. The manager Marcio remembered us and seated us at the same table for every playoff...
I went looking on citysearch because my group of friends wanted to do the superbowl at Mustang grill and i noticed this posting. First of all, I was there for the game that you are speaking about and all the manager tried to do was consolidate the empty chairs in which the rest of your group wasnt using. Therefore, he could use the two extra tables to seat waiting patrons. Secondly, you ladies we...
20 of my friends and I went to Mustang yesterday to watch the football games and we have never had a worse experience. Although we took up 3 whole tables among the 20 of us, the manager (Mauricio) wanted us to split up 2 of the tables so they could give away 2 of the empty seats to other patrons. After making us move down and split up our party to give up the table, they had problems seating anyo...
Today I called Mustang Grill at 12:10 to order two Santa Fe Chicken Salads for takeout. "Fifteen minutes" is what I was told when I asked when my order should be ready. I got there at 12:30, figuring it would be waiting for me. It wasn't ready, so I went ahead and paid, after waiting for the bartender to pay attention to me for about five minutes (the bar was overrun with construction guys doi...
Mustang is a great place to meet a group of friends when the weather is nice. You can sit outside and sip on the VERY strong and AMAZING margaritas. The food is good too! The only complaint I have is that happy hour is only offered if you sit at the bar. I think this is riduculous and is unfair to those who want to sit outside.....not to mention the waitresses. That's the only thing I was ch...
Terrible service. Management was rude. I would not recommend going here. I'll never go back. We were seated outside and then told we had to move because children were not allowed on the patio due to a "sidewalk permit" issue. The manager lied to us about this and bad mouted her own hostess to us for seating us there. She then proceeded to laugh with other employees about moving us inside. Needles...
I went with a friend a couple of weeks ago and asked for a bowl of chips.The rude waiter said there is a charge for that.Every Mexican restaurant in NYC gives free chips and salsa!!!! I then asked for Faijitas and said no peppers in that.He said it was pre-mixed and couldn't accommodate me.I told him to go in the kitchen and ask if they could do it. Of course they could. Forget about getting wat...
This is the worst experience I have ever had dinning, it took 45 minutes to get our drinks when we complained we were told that the bar was backed up ,even though the place was ? empty. then after an other 45 minutes we asked for the manager the stupid obnoxious coward sent some sent some flunky chick that repeated the same stupid retort about the street fair causing the bar to back up, we walke...
I was just at Mustang and asked for a hamburger with no bun. I asked twice. I told the waiter I was allergic to wheat. He brought me the hamburger on the bun and walked away. I eventually was able to get him to come back. I gave him the burger and he returned in three seconds with the same dish. The kitchen -- or someone -- had just removed the burger from the bun. I saw big clumps of brea...
While not the best food around, or the best prices, this place is usually a good people watching spot - particularly when it's warmer and tables are outside. I've gone with both friends and family and service, while nothing to rave about, has been consistent as well as the food.
I can't get enough of this place specially in the summer with the opened doors and outside sitting. I love the huge assorted margaritas. Ambiance, location and food. I've been here a few times and just have the best time. They have the main dinning room and also I believe is a cigar area. Great place to go after work for drinks. The margaritas are so good and strong that with 2 or 3 you'll ...
This is a lively place--Candlelit, comfy, with lots of TV's to get your sports games--BIG DRINKS make everyone smile a little more--Menu has something for everyone. WELL PRICED. Good sized portions leave you filled up. Loved the burger and fries. Feels like a college crowd dominated place, but honestly, kids of all ages dine here. You can't miss on this one. Good grub, friendly and fun envi...
Set up is nice wait staff lovly. Drinks and food well priced. Quick service Every one should try this place out
I quite like the atmosphere and especially the jumbo margheritas which are amazing! However, I walked past there tail end of last week and saw it is shut? Is this permanent? Hope not!
But if it's anything to go by, their website is also down so maybe Mustang is R.I.P. :(
I went to this restaurant last night to check out their cigar lounge. I was told by the hostess when I got there that they no longer had the lounge. The did not sell cigars any more and there was no place to smoke. Even though their website still brags about their cigar lounge, trust me, it no longer exists. I didn't stick around to try the food or drinks, so I can't comment on those, but the...
My boyfriend and I visited this place for the first time on a Friday night and we have reaffirmed our faith in NYC restaurants. We had everyone, from the hostess to someone I think was the manager or possibly even the owner, asking if everything was ok and if there was anything we needed. The Pecan Crusted Chicken Breast was succulent, very well seasoned, and quite generously portioned, with th...
Took forever to take our order, when I asked for ketchup the waiter gave me a nasty look, cuban sandwich was horrible... stingy on the meat with stale bread and oily limp fries.
My boyfriend and I went there on a weeknight, so it wasn't crowded and we walked right in. The nacho appetizer was better than those at other Mexican restaurants I've been to. The food on a whole was just ok though. Nothing that special or different. The brownie dessert was horrible though, it tasted like something heated in a microwave. Our waiter kept saying he's sorry for rushing us, but ...
Finally checked this place out one Sunday afternoon. The food here was fine. wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. It was fair. We got our food quickly! HOWEVER THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. The waitress was seemingly taking a break while waiting on us. I could actually see her sitting down and eating. I have been a waiter before so I understand eating for a minute, but she just plain didn't ...
This is a great place to hang out during the week or on an early Friday night before hitting the clubs!! The margaritas are a great price and the food is fresh and not heavy like most Mexican restaurants. The DJ they have on Fridays and Saturdays plays all different types of music but thankfully mixes it up.
The crowd is diverse and every time I have been there the place is nearly packed!!
I have lived in the upper east side now for a number of years and for whatever reason i have never made it to mustang before last Tuesday night( honestly i am not usually big on mexican food). So my sister convinced me to give it a try. I had a really good time. I got the roast chicken which was excellent and we shared the mussels which were just as good. MARGARITAS WERE AWESOME! My waitress...
possibly the worst dining experience ever. Know that if you order a margarita, they give you the 'big' size and charge you the extra money. When we asked about this on the bill, waitress said "we're TOLD to do it that way" with some serious attitude.
Food was disgusting - quesadillas were burned to a crisp, cuban was on STALE bread with a measley slice of ham, and fries were either soggy or har...
If you bad service, rude waitstaff and managers, and sub-par "food" come here...otherwise, choose any other restaurant within a block of here! I tried to go here with 6 other people for lunch.the place was empty. we had reservations, but it made no difference...they tried to put infants in booster chairs...complete idiots!
Mustang has a nice location on the ues on 2nd avenue. There is a lot of outdoor seating and it's a popular place to eat in the summer. The margaritas are pretty strong and half price at the bar during happy hour. The food is actually very good, but a little expensive for what you get
I recently went to Mustangs for my girl friends 21st b-day. WE came in from NJ and had a wonderful time. THe service was outstanding, and the food was fantastic. Our waitress was very nice, she talked with us and was always on top of everything. THe margaritas were out of this world. THe manager on duty was extremely hot and the waitresses were pretty too. I would definenty recommend this restura...
Mustang is a pretty good place to grab a drink in the summer. It has a nice spot on 2nd avenue where you can grab an outdoor table and people watch while having a tasty margarita. The food is actually pretty good too.
Went to Mustang last Friday nite and had a great experience! We sat in the outside cafe with only a ten minute wait. My date and I ordered margaritas and mussels, which were outstanding! We were only planning on having appetizers, but our server described such wonderful entrees we had to stay. We were definitely satisfied and will come back for a second date!
My friends and I went to Mustang for drinks. We love to sit in the lounge and hang with the hot waitresses(the tunes aren't bad either). From the time we get there we feel so taken care of. Being a group of demanding guys, our drinks were never empty and neither were our egos. We even thought it was cool that our waitress bought us a round of shots and knew our names by the end of our night.
Been going to Mustang for about a year now. I live on the upper east side and frequent many of the places there. The reason I like Mustang is depending on your mood you can choose your own atmosphere. The bar is lively, the outside cafe is always hoppin and the lounge is private and sexy. Plus they have the best tequila list in the city!
If you like to be chased out of a restaurant by a low class waitress asking why her tip is not 20%, than Mustang is the place for you. After waiting more than 15 minutes for our order to be taken and then having the waitress not know how to make certain drinks, our party of 7 was obviously dissatisified. 1 round was enough! We were outside not even 2 minutes when the waitress stormed out of this...
I went to Mustang with several friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. The security outside was real nice and friendly but I was surprised but the personnel that worked inside. Not only did we have to wait an unbelievable amount of time, the service was just plain rude. When I asked for a particular drink, the waitress gave me dirty look and annoyed b/c they didn't know what it was. On top o...
Been going to Mustang for years and years to enjoy margaritas (one of the best I've ever had) and mojitos. A friend suggested the place for dinner the other night and much to my surprise the food was outstanding!!! Always thought of Mustang as a bar, but not anymore. I found out that they recently started delivering, great news for the winter. Can't wait til we can sit outside again though.
Easily the best Margaritas on the Upper East Side...Awesome Quesadillas, and a great service staff
The beer was bad, the pitcher of margaritas was way overpriced, and the pseudo-TexMex food was average at best. The quesadilla lacked flavor and was skimpy on ingredients. The fettucine alfredo was okay, but they made it "TexMex" by throwing in a few peppers. We were thirty feet from the door but felt a continual draft. It took a long time for the waiter to bring the check and we had to flag ...
Mustang Grill was way too crowded and overpriced. The food was definitely edible but also forgettable. They're just kind of shuffling people in and out of the place. Maybe it's a better bar than a restaurant ... I haven't been to the bar section.
Was expecting a typical Upper East Side post-college watering hole. Instead, had a great meal, with great service in a very entertaining atmosphere.
I remember this place was great about a year ago. The recent visit with my boyfriend was totally unpleasant. The music playing inside was too loud for people sitting outside. They charged chips and served bread and little muffin. Their margaritas weren't impressive anymore. I felt bad that I dragged my friend to this place. The food was overpriced too.
I wish I knew name of my waitress so I say could say just how bad she was. I took her 10-15 just to take our drink order. Then when we got our food she brought the wrong order and didn't come back for what seemed like a half hour.
My boyfriend and I went on a Friday night and didn't have to wait to be sat at all. It is very loud inside so if you want to have a decent conversation, sit on the front or side patio. We sat on the side patio and our waiter seemed to forget that we were there half the time. The food was ok but the drinks were good and if you love tequila, you will love the choices. Ask for drink refills before y...
We had a decent meal at Mustang, but the service was a bit on the slow side. No bread or tortilla chips on the table you have to order that seperate. Ordered an appetizer and the portion was also very small. The food itself is good, and the cigar bar is a plus if you want to hang out afterwards.
This place his a great happy hour... just don't sit at a table during it! My friend and I sat at a table and had about 7 drinks a piece during the 'happy hour,' all the time telling our waiter that we wanted to get a few more drinks "before happy hour ended," only to realize when we got the check that happy hour doesn't apply to the tables!! The food was good, and besides for that mistake our w...
I just read the review by the guy/girl? that said the service was so poor they felt like they were on candid camera and I can't agree more. It is absolutely laughable. They tend to have three bartenders all standing around while the patrons are waving bills in the air trying to get a drink. This is when it is not crowded, if you ever go in there on a "good" night, you won't be drinking. On the ot...
...if you're stuck in the area. Some of the appetizers are a little out of place with ambitions of prettiness, but the burger is not bad.
I just went there for the first time and the place is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and I cant wait to go again. Im planning on it this weekend!
It's good for a night out. Good drinks, good nightlife, but the food leaves something to be desired. But, after a few drinks, anything tastes good
Mustang is excellent, you should have no worries when you eat at this establishment. Very relaxed atmosphere, you could hang out, eat, have a couple of drinks and really enjoy your stay. Friendly waitstaff, no worries.
Check out Mustang the very next chance you get. My girlfriend and went there for dinner last week and spent the entire night. We started out at the bar, then had an amazing dinner. We then headed to the cigar lounge for a smoke and dessert and finished the night off in the downstairs lounge, which I never knew existed. The couches are pretty cozy...
Very good food and great drinks at reasona...
MUSTANG"S LIKE A SOHO REST/LOUNGE. PRICES ARE PERFECT FOR THE NEIGBORHOOD. WE ARE ALWAYS IMPRESSED HOW FRESH THE SEAFOOD AND HOW NICELY THEY PRESENT THEIR FANCY MEXICAN FOOD. DECOR IS COOL WITH COMFY ROOMS TO LOUNGE IN AFTER A MEAL. YOU MUST TRY A EXOTIC MARGARITA. OVER ALL, FAR ABOVE THE RICE & BEANS, BAD TEQUILA YOU GET FROM MOST MEXICAN PLACES. THE FOOD COMPARES WELL WITH ALL THE OTHER FANCY R...
good food, great margaritas, ok prices, big place and hot decor
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY, I HAD GREAT BREAD (LOVED THOSE PUMPKIN MUFFINS AND MEXICAN BREAD) GREAT TAMALES AND A NICE LOBSTER CAKE SPECIAL AND I COULDNT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THE BANANA CREAM PIE WAS. PRICES WONT BREAK THE BANK EITHER.
my girlfriend and i hang out a lot at the bar & in the lounge. we get very excited but management wont let us dance on the bar! i guess you just have to relax and enjoy a chicken quesadilla (my favorite) and a martini.
MUSTANG GRILL IS GREAT!! IT'S PERFECT FOR WHATEVER YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. TAKE A DATE OR CHILL OUT WITH SOME FRIENDS. CERTAINLY THE BEST NEIGHBORHOOD SCENE ON THE WEEKENDS AND THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT BRUNCH. FOOD IS GREAT AND THE MARGARITAS KICK ASS!!!
