I came here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. Not very crowded, I was given the option to seat wherever I wanted :) There was some ambiance music, but not very loud so it is a great place to meet with friends and chat. I had the crab guacamole for appetizer.. I had never heard of that, but the combination is actually very good. Huevos rancheros for main dish were also very good and real Mexican style. The drinks are excellent, I think I had too many, just to try ;) Passion margarita and coconut margarita were my favorite.
Went for Happy hour drinks were good..., small plates are are ok.
We tried the Habanero salsa, Queso Fundido and fish tacos. The dishes are on the pricey side, but were not disappointing with respect to taste or presentation. It would have been nice if the tortilla chips were either a slightly more generous portion or chip refills were offered. Cocktails are typical prices for NYC, ~$15; however they specialize in tequila and have an extensive menu of tequila and mezcal. Our server seemed knowledgeable and gave us helpful advice when we asked for suggestions. One of the charms of La Diagonal is its unusual triangle footprint with big windows on two sides.
Nice and cozy spot. Nice to have drinks and catch up with a friend. Good service. I think its suppose to be a Mexican spot but the food/ menu was far from authentic Mexican food and was a bit salty for my liking. Nonetheless it's not a bad spot to have a drink. Plus the customer service was good. I had the veggie tacos and 2 Moscow miles.
Excellent service. I love going here on down times, since it's so chill and the staff is so friendly. Cocktails were perfectly measured. The tuna tartare was overcooked in acid and chunky, not ground; this is why I knocked this down a star.
