    This is an excellent place to get cocktails/drinks and tapas or smaller plates. Their fritters were amazing (especially with the sauce) and their sangria was also very good. Attentive service and very cool interior decor (it is also connected to ABC Cafe and other restaurants so it might be confusing if you are dropped off by an Uber because ABC Cocina is on the 18th side but ABC Cafe is on the 19th side). Recommended!

    Came here for a late dinner after seeing Titanique the Musical, at 9 PM on a Tuesday, and was surprised to find it packed and loud inside. The decor is beautiful and the ambiance is really cool, but after spending a few minutes inside we asked for a table outside so we could hear each other speak without shouting. This was perfect for us. Service was slow, but we didn't mind. We shared a bunch of tapas: patatas bravas, spiced ground beef and celery root empanadas with tomato salsa, wood fired octopus with green romesco sauce, and crispy gulf flounder tacos with a cabbage chili pickle topping. For dessert, we ordered churros with chocolate dipping sauce. The food was plated beautifully and tasted amazing, but my favorite dish of the night were the spiced ground beef empanadas.

    We just happen to pass by this place and it looks so enticing. We had a glass of wine at the bar and it's quite pleasant. The place has a romantic ambiance. Lighting is a bit dark but charming. The bartenders are very nice. We had a great time and it's not very noisy at 5pm. Would love to come back and try the food.

    First time dining at ABC Cocina, and the first impression started off a little shaky. My friend and I had a 530pm reservation and walked in and stepped to the side because the host was taking care of a couple of people who had just arrived before we did. So, while we were waiting for her to finish, a three people group came up on the other side to wait as well. So after she finished taking care of the people before us, she turned to the three group party and asked how can she helped them. Now, this is when my mind begins to wonder. I know she saw us come in and step to side, waiting. The other group wasn't even there when we arrived. Graciously, the older white lady in the group said to her (host), I believe they were here before us waiting. I let her know we had reservations, and while she checked, I turned to the lady and said, "Thank you." Now, in that moment, we looked at each other, and both understood without saying a word. What had just happened. So as she takes us to our table, she sits us next to two gentlemen in the right-hand corner. So now, I'm thinking all these tables are free, why sit us here. Maybe the seating is based on the number of people from reservations. Also, the seat was shaky as well as the table. I let my waitress know, and she took the seat away and fixed the table. Now, from this point on, everything was excellent. The servers here were amazing, attentive, polite, and friendly. We had at least 5 to 6 servers back and forth at our table, making sure everything was ok with food, water, and drinks. My rankings from what we had beef tacos#1. It was the best tasting beef I ever had in a taco, amazing. #2 calamari, perfectly seasoned crispy skin outside and tender inside with the tasty pickled onions and sauce. #3 chicken tacos perfectly seasoned crispy skin outside, tender inside and flavorful. I would like maybe something else added in taco, like the beef one. #4 the mushrooms, never had these types of mushrooms before. Great flavor and nice texture with the cheese added and their hot sauce on the the table put this dish over the top. #5 Spring pea empanada was different but tasted good, hot, and cheesy. #6 guacamole was fresh and tasted good. I never had guacamole made this way before, and chips were crisp. #7 Heart of Palm Salad was good and fresh. Just could have been a little more on the plate. I had one fresh beet juice, and we also had a few basil margaritas. Overall, the food, drinks, servers, and the two gentlemen we sat next to made our experience delightful and fun.
