El Original is one of my favorite places to eat in NYC. I feel like this place doesn't get the attention it deserves. What's not to love about delicious happy hour margaritas and queso and chips?! They sometimes have live music and they get a lot of the sports events too!
With that being said their service could use a bit of improvement. There have been a few times where the restaurant isn't that busy and the servers take a bit too long bringing drinks, sides, or orders. But maybe I'm just antsy for my food since it's so good. They're very friendly staff, and it's a phenomenal venue if you want to throw a dinner or birthday shindig.
Definitely suggest people give this place a try! I also suggest if any management is reading this to give a pep talk to the staff to ensure they're mindful of being prompt.

I had a delicious Mexican meal on my birthday with friends. It is spacious
Staff was friendly. The Danny Walsh band played. My friends joined in on a few numbers, Meredith Manna, vocals, and Katie Cosco, on keyboard. The guacamole was delicious. Nice place!
