"El Original is one of my favorite spots to eat in NYC, and I feel like it doesn't get the recognition it deserves. What's not to love about delicious happy hour margaritas, queso, and chips? They occasionally have live music and show many sporting events as well! However, I think their service could use some improvement. There have been times when the restaurant wasn’t too busy, yet it took a while for our drinks, sides, or orders to arrive. But perhaps I'm just too eager for the fantastic food! The staff is very friendly, and it's a great venue for hosting a dinner or birthday celebration. I definitely recommend that people give this place a try! If any management is reading this, a little pep talk for the staff about being more attentive would go a long way. As a loyal customer, MB."
