Be the first to ReplyFeb. 26, 2023I ordered Tacos de Pescado and my friend
Feb. 26, 2023I ordered Tacos de Pescado and my friend Chilaquiles, and we each got two margaritas. I liked the fish tacos, even though I have had better and I felt it was not worth the price. We had pulsd deal, with which we could each get one entrée and two cocktails for almost half the price on the menu, but without the deal I am not sure if I would come back. The tortilla was fresh but had some lingering flour taste and got soggy rather quickly. The sauces on top-salsa morita, jalapeno aioli, ponzu vinaigrette-were very good and complemented the baja style fried fish. The fish itself was also well seasoned, crispy, and moist. However, given so many options for good tacos in the city, I do not necessarily see myself coming back to The Black Ant for tacos. I also got to try my friend's Chilaquiles, of which roasted tomato salsa sauce was flavorful and went well with the corn tortilla until they got soggy. The avocado slices on top were fresh and perfectly ripe. Again, however, I just do not know if I would want to pay the full price for the food. Their margaritas were great though.
Be the first to ReplyPretty good spot for a boozy brunch! Nothing too special
Pretty good spot for a boozy brunch! Nothing too special and a bit overpriced, I came on a Saturday in a large group. I liked that you can choose between bottomless mimosas or margs; I went with mimosas. They were timely to deliver more booze and the mimosas could have been a tad bit stronger. Entrees did not disappoint and I got the chilaquiles, which I've never had before (sans cheese). It reminded me of soft, soggy nachos in the best way possible. It was tasty and surprisingly filling, which I feel like brunch places typically skimp on portion size if they offer bottomless. After drinks and unfortunately splitting the bill down the middle, I ended up owing $84 so take note how expensive some of the entrees are! Not sure if I'd be back but they had a cute outdoor back patio that might be cool to check out.

Food is sooo good & the staff (eg. the bartender we had) is amazing. Definitely would come back
Be the first to ReplyI've been to the black ant before and had great experiences
I've been to the black ant before and had great experiences but had a very scary and horrible experience last night. I and another person in my party have severe nut allergies. I told the waiter this when we put in our order for guacamole and saw him write down "peanut allergy" - he assured me I would be fine and there would be no nuts. I ate the guacamole and felt off immediately. I felt progressively worse and left the restaurant. Our party was told after there were in fact nuts in the guacamole. Extreme negligence on behalf of the staff could have led to a deadly dining experience. Do not recommend this restaurant if you have allergies!
Be the first to ReplyCame here with a party of 15 people.
The atmosphere is great however the food was not. We got small serving sizes and the quality of the food was not worth the prices. Cute place for drinks though.
Be the first to ReplyAverage food, high prices for the menu and drinks.
Friendly staff and service! Nice ambiance. The food menu didn't really interest me much so I got the dessert only and I liked it. I can't really judge on the food menu but my friend got tacos and dumplings and said they were alright but would not recommend.
Be the first to ReplyI recently came here for brunch and I gotta say, the steak
I recently came here for brunch and I gotta say, the steak was on point! It was cooked to asking - juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The potatoes were a bit oily for my taste, but they were still tasty. As for the margaritas, they were really good.All in all, it was a pretty solid dining experience and a great deal for the price. I would definitely come back again.
Be the first to ReplyCame for happy hour.
They have great specials. $8 margaritas and $10 food menu items. I had the cucumber margarita, not too sweet. I really enjoyed the guacamole and tacos dorados. My friend loved the chicken tacos and sangria. They have an enclosed garden in the back. I would come back again for happy hour or dinner.
Be the first to ReplyI've probably been here about 15 times now, nearly always
I've probably been here about 15 times now, nearly always during happy hour. Most of my visits were three or four years ago when I lived in the LES. Back then the food and drinks were great and the happy hour was an excellent deal. I remember thinking that outside of happy hour it felt a little pricey but everything was delicious so I didn't complain. Then something shifted and the food suddenly wasn't as good. I had two or three bad experiences and my opinion changed and then I moved to a different neighborhood. I was back in the neighborhood again last week, however, and I stopped by during happy hour and ONCE AGAIN EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!I will be back.
Be the first to ReplyI was invited to The Black Ant for my cousin's birthday
I was invited to The Black Ant for my cousin's birthday brunch. I liked that there was a private room just for our party so we can be as loud and tipsy as we wanted lol. So to start off we had guacamole and chips. The guacamole was pretty good but I was kinda annoyed that there wasn't enough for the whole table. It was just a taste really I was able to have. For my brunch entree I had the Chilaquiles which was absolutely delicious but once again skimpy on the amount they served and when you're drinking basically tequila and a splash of orange juice you need more than a spoonful of food lol. Now since I started with the drinks-we had a choice of margaritas and mimosas. I chose the margaritas which was strongggg. It didn't taste like a margarita at all lol but I guess it didn't matter once you're two margaritas in lol. All in all I had a fantastic time here.
Be the first to ReplyI've had this place on my list for so long - eating bugs?!
I've had this place on my list for so long - eating bugs?! yes please! Got a reservation fairly easily and there were lots of open tables when I went for dinner Saturday night. My friend and I ordered a few things to share and honestly... was a bit disappointed. The blank ant guacamole was the best thing we had. It was very delicious and barring the black specs (ants) tastes like a normal guacamole - don't think i tasted any bugs in any of the foods. 10/10 would come back for this. Everything else was okay - nothing special but not horrible. Won't be coming back for anything unless other friends want to try some bugs. Side note: during dinner there was one INCREDIBLY loud man at this bar that every single person could hear when he spoke. Comically annoying.
Be the first to ReplyI have been here several times for brunch with a pulsd deal
I have been here several times for brunch with a pulsd deal - it included 2 entrees and 4 cocktails total. Portion sizes for brunch are a bit small, but they pack in the flavor! Love the margs as well. I definitely recommend sitting in the backyard area when the weather is good, the vibe is perfect!
Be the first to ReplyWanted to give this place an honest try.
It was the worst... terrible service all around
Be the first to ReplyFinally came here.
I was very excited to try the insects. We ordered the ant guac and the grasshopper croquettes. I saw some reviews that said the guac didn't visibly have ants, but ours did. Maybe the restaurant served them based on preferences. Anyways, the guac and croquettes were delicious. I would say that the guac just tasted like a normal good guac, like I didn't taste any distinctive flavors from the ants. I loved the fried grasshopper they put on the croquettes. For main course, I ordered the octopus dish. The octopus was a bit rubbery in places but the sauce was delicious.

The food was though they were stingy with the portions, especially the tacos. The margarita pitchers were also some of the best I've ever had.

Went for brunch and they were completely out of chicken and steak. They offered no discount and rushed us out. Food was very mediocre

I liked the atmosphere and the open wall concept during the summer. It's very "chic" mexican, not very authentic in my opinion, but still tasty. Go during happy hour for great margaritas!
Be the first to ReplyDidn't feel welcomed by the hostess, and the waiter and I
Didn't feel welcomed by the hostess, and the waiter and I weren't on the same page for service. The food was meh, the mimosas very juice based , very minimal on the Prosecco. When we ask the waiter to mix a stronger batch , he was annoyed. Not sure if I would come back to be ignored .
Be the first to ReplyAmazing amazing food.
I've been a few times with my friends for happy hour and the apps and margaritas are fantastic. I have celiac and they had a plethora of gluten free options. The staff was knowledgeable. And the chips weee gluten free!

This place has a great vibe and atmosphere! Drinks are delicious and refreshing. Only one thing through me off which is why I rated 4/5. Overall is a place I will come back to and would recommend.
Be the first to ReplyThey don't call this place the Black Ant for nothing!
They don't call this place the Black Ant for nothing! They're are actual insects in some of the dishes. Like the guacamole for example, it has black ants on top with pepitas and pomegranate seeds for that added crunch. Funny because my friend who frequents this place had no idea! Lol so that goes to show the taste is altered in no way at all, and the ants do add a nice crunchy topping to the otherwise smooth mushy gauc. Great friendly staff, make a reservation if you can because it is not that large inside and can fill up rather quickly. I got the chicken mole taco diner bc the chicken mole plate was not available. Still great mole! My friend enjoyed the octopus plate especially the puréed cauliflower, however he did mention the octopus could have been more crisp to subdue its chewy texture. Great smokey margaritas!
