Made a brunch reservation for a small party, for a surprise birthday party For my girlfriend. Showed up to find a sign on the door saying “temporarily closed” Extremely, exceptionally poor management of a restaurant. Would have been simple to just access reservations and send out cancellations. Luckily a nearby restaurant was able to accommodate, and food / service was much better than anything I ever experienced at Black Ant. I hope this clown show of an excuse for a restaurant stays closed, for the greater good.

My husband and I ordered drinks and appetizers. The service was amazing. Prices are ok. The food is good but maybe my expectations were too off, I thought that all their plates would have insects as ingredients. I was kind of disappointed to learn that was not the case. The guacamole was the best I ate in Manhattan so far, but the ants were barely noticeable. The drinks were very good too.

The Black Ant is a great spot for delicious Mexican food + cocktails in the East Village of Manhattan!! I came in for the first time this weekend with a couple of friends - we caught the end of their Happy Hour and had a lovely experience! :- Mackenzie took amazing care of us @ the bar, so much so that we decided to hang around past Happy Hour's conclusion. The cocktails here are SO delicious I had the Traditional Margarita in Pink Guava + in Passion Fruit. For food, we only tried the Black Ant Guac, but that alone told us that the dishes here must be really good!! The guacamole was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere inside The Black Ant is really lovely as well. This is a great spot - go see Mackenzie at the bar & enjoy!!

The Black Ant provides a great experience of food and drinks. The vibe at the restaurant is vibrant, and the drinks are creative and robust. I would recommend that you try the rabbit enchiladas and fish tacos.Food: 5/5

Came here on a Friday night around 8pm and there were a few open tables for walk ins. The restaurant had a few good options with black ants and grasshoppers. We tried the black ant guacamole and there was an option to have it without the ants. We tried it and couldn’t really feel a difference with the ants being there, but we enjoyed the novelty factor and trying something new. I recommend this place if you are adventurous and want to try something different

Michelin guide did not disappoint! Happy hour on a saturday from 4-7pm, perfect for a dinner. Ordered bunch of tacos and food and every bite was amazing from start to finish! Waiters were very good as well.Food: 5/5

As a foodie and mezcal enthusiastic I would say I was very satisfied with the selection of mezcal that black ant possess. I enjoy my time there in company of good people as well, I love the service was lovely, the bartender was generous to us to help us go through the mezcal and give us some suggestions about the taste as well. I definitely will be back to make more memories and remember to savor the taste of mezcal for sure.

We got the croquetas and tlayuda to start, then chicken al pastor tacos and carne asada. The grasshopper croquetas were the highlight of the meal, but we enjoyed everything we ate. The chicken al pastor tacos were a bit sweet for my taste. The margaritas were just ok.  We sat in the indoor garden cute area, and it was warm enough with heated lamps, but I'd recommend sitting inside or bringing a jacket if you get cold easily.

Beyond sad to see it close! I used to work here starting out as a prep cook to becoming one of the chefs and people who helped make this the restaurant that it became. I worked under the great Chef Mario Hernandez, and the memories that I have of this place truly will stay with me forever.  The food was amazing and way ahead of its times, all of the accolades they received were well deserved!  They had the perfect team, people who truly cared for this business.  There will never be another like it!

Love this place. Food is exceptional, cocktails are interesting and boozy, and the wait staff went above and beyond. Thank you for always providing a consistently great experience!Food: 5/5
