Conmigo — Restaurant in New York

We walked into this place around 10:35 on Friday night after making a bit of a drive to come since my friend wanted to try it. As soon as we walked in there was no hi hello, only a “we close the kitchen in 5 minutes and everything closes at 11” from the bartender and the guy at the door. We were confused because we checked their website before coming and it said they closed at 12 and we thought we came at a reasonable time to not inconvenience them. But quite honestly, it seemed like they just didn’t want to work and wanted to go home and that’s why they were pushing people to not stay and leave. I checked their website AGAIN upon leaving the restaurant and saw that they close at 12. I called the restaurant and the same guy that told us they close the restaurant and everything at 11 picked up. I asked him what time they close and he said 11. I said oh your website says 12 I just wanted to let you know. He started stuttering and passed the phone over to a manager “Sissy”. Not sure why she’s a manager, her customer service skills were awful. She didn’t have a definite answer on when they closed, she said the kitchen closes at 10:45 and whoever’s in the restaurant can stay there until 11:15. I said then why is your staff lying to people and telling them they close at 11 and everyone has to be out by 11? She said “I’m sorry we lied to you” ?????? What? What do you mean? The owner here should definitely retrain or rethink who he/she has on staff because it definitely doesn’t seem like they’re trying to bring the restaurant business but rather shoo them away. Never have I ever experienced something like this in my entire life of living in New York and going to restaurants here. Please change your hours on your website if what the staff is saying is accurate and if not, then please retrain them to not lie...

Update:

We came back for happy hour drinks and appetizers and it’s also a great spot for HH.

Ambiance: I like the vibe, it’s not too quiet but so loud that you can’t talk. They have really nice seating outside and inside. The indoor seats with the open windows is a very nice spot. The teal colored theme enhances the restaurant.

HH: $9 margaritas are such a huge win! They let you mix flavors and the margaritas are well made and delicious.

Food: We got the nachos as a shared appetizer. They are well portioned and had a good mix of all the ingredients. We also got the chips and salsa. You can tell the salsas are freshly made and they were well seasoned.

Service: Staff was very friendly and checked in on us often. Water was always filled quickly and food and drinks came out fast.

Great spot for tacos.

I've dined in and taken out at Conmigo and it was not disappointing both times!

The ambience of the place is so nice. It's a great date night spot or even just a dinner spot with friends. It's one of the few places in NYC that has pretty good tacos.

As a vegetarian, I've only got the impossible taco as an option which is disappointing compared to other places in the city. However, the impossible taco is delicious and they have great vegetarian appetizers as well. I like their honey empanadas, a very unique appetizer for sure. Their beans and rice are also vegetarian friendly which is a bonus.

Their cocktail list is like most typical places but the drinks were good.

When we've had Conmigo delivered to us, I was very impressed with the packaging. Out tacos held up and the food was still somewhat hot and tasted just as good as in the restaurant.

I do think the prices are a bit steep for the quality and quantity which has contributed to my star rating.
