One of the best happy hours in Harlem, highly recommend the mango jerk and chicken lime tacos. Nachos and plates are great and customizable. HH drink menu has plenty to choose from. Bartenders, hostesses and Fransisco the owner are extremely friendly.
The food was average. The margaritas were acceptable. The music/ atmosphere was ordinary.
