We had a great dinner!! Our waiter wasn’t too pleasant and took about 25 min to take our drink and food order. Food and drinks were good!

The food and drinks were fantastic. They were short staffed, so getting things in a timely manner was rough. Otherwise, great ambience and a good time. ☺️

Average service from all. Food was ok and not badly priced for Times Square but eating with plastic cutlery in a restaurant is not great.

Pink Taco has an excellent ambiance and delicious food. The pink margarita was great and the apps we had her very tasty. Only downside was service being a little slow. I could understand if the restaurant was packed, but it wasn't. I would still come back for sure!

Awesome place! My young family had a great time and the food was perfect. The only recommendation is to get a table upstairs as downstairs is very cold with the door opening constantly.

The food here was amazing. We got the Chicken drumettes and nachos as appetizers and then the enchiladas and fried lobster tacos as our entree. Everything was very filling and tasty. Got something pink and frozen strawberry margaritas. The only thing we didn’t like was the fried ice cream. I don’t think it’s their fault tho, I just don’t think fried ice cream works no matter the establishment.

We arrived for a 5:30 reservation and were immediately sent upstairs, Once there we were led to a table that didn't belong as it was in way of servers. We asked to switch to a few of the other open tables and the host rudely rolled her eyes and said they are all reserved. We accepted that answer except 3 of the tables were opened the entire time. Our entrees came out wrong and we got our first drink order after food arrived. The server felt bad and did give us 2 free drink coupons for our next visit, which will be never.
