We were excited to bring family here hoping the brunch would be good given the popularity but it was really meh. Biggest issue was food that came out cold and felt like it might’ve been cooked and sitting for a while before it was brought out. Considering this happened with the meal with medium steak, that was a bit concerning. We are pretty sure they just microwaved the dish and brought it back out. The enchiladas were not good … perhaps we just don’t like mole and salsa verde sauce - can’t tell. Tacos were fine, but many places make fine tacos for a fraction of the price. The best part was the guacamole, which was priced like an entree.

Had a delicious long brunch today and loved every second! The food was absolutely delicious and so were the drinks. We started with frozen margaritas, I had watermelon he had mango. Then fresh guacamole with fresh made big chips. Amazing! For mains I had the huevos rancheros which were cooked perfectly. Loved it. For dessert I had the chocolate pudding and he had the tres leches cake which were both fantastic. The service was so wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!

We stopped by Casa Enrique for our anniversary trip to NY after seeing the Eater video. There is no words to describe how good and amazing the food was. We got Carnitas and Mole. Both had so much depth of flavor and exquisite taste. We are truly happy we made it out to Casa Enrique. The drinks were also amazing and flavorful. Ah, we also had the Pastel de 3 leches and coming from a family of bakers, the pastel had a great flavor and texture.

Really good carne asada tacos (5/5), brisket tacos (4.5/5)! The carne asada in the tacos was incredible - moist, flavorful, and very umami packed without being chewy. Really good. The brisket was great they have you a LOT for the filling. The mile enchiladas were okay (4/5) - the mole sauce was good but the chicken inside was very chewy.

Food: We had the ceviche, the fish tacos, and the mole. The ceviche was extremely small, 5 bites at most, for $24 it was not worth the price. The flavor was average, it was spicy and tangy but did not have any special flavors that made it stand out. The fish tacos $19, had deep fried mahi mahi pieces and a side of pureed avocado - nothing about these tacos stood out. Lastly, we had the mole (~$28) the dish included two pieces of chicken, a side of rice, and a side of tortillas. The mole flavors were good, and the entree size was acceptable. Overall I do not recommend this restaurant, the price is not worth the lack of special flavors or 'oomph' and the portion sizes are extremely small. I was disappointed!

NOT WORTH THE HYPE!My recent visit to Casa Enrique for a birthday celebration left much to be desired. Despite its Michelin star accolade, the experience fell short of expectations.Upon arrival, the disappointing decor immediately caught my attention. The plastic tables detracted from the dining ambiance, and the overall interior design left much to be desired.While I had heard the drinks were decent, the prices seemed exorbitant for what was offered. Moreover, the portions were disappointingly small, especially considering the steep prices. Paying $18 for guacamole and chips felt outrageous, and the tacos, priced between $16 and $20 for just two, seemed similarly overpriced.Despite the flavorful dishes, nothing truly stood out to me. As a frequent visitor to Mexico and a New York local, I found Casa Enrique's offerings to be lacking in distinction and value.The service was adequate, though the lack of cloth napkins felt odd for a restaurant of this caliber. The poorly designed bathroom placement, requiring a trip to the basement, further added to the overall disappointment.With a bill totaling $500 for six people, including tax and tip, I couldn't help but feel that Casa Enrique was overhyped and overpriced. While it may still hold a Michelin star, I wouldn't personally recommend it nor return for another visit.It's baffling to see the rave reviews Casa Enrique receives online, as my experience was far from exceptional. Perhaps these reviewers have not explored other dining options in New York City or have been living under a rock. Casa Enrique's loss of its Michelin star seems justified given its underwhelming offerings.In summary, Casa Enrique failed to impress with its lackluster decor, overpriced menu, and underwhelming dining experience. For those seeking authentic and memorable Mexican cuisine in New York City, there are certainly better options to explore. 100% not worth it.

The guacamole along with the fish tacos and steak tacos were delicious. I like how we can have different spice levels for the guacamole: mild, medium, spicy. My friend and I went for medium and it was the perfect level of heat.
