Red:
Nestled in the heart of South Street Seaport, this Mexican bar and restaurant is a surprisingly pleasant find in this otherwise trite landscape of tourist traps. Inside, you’ll find two floors that resemble what could be the Blue Man Group’s ranch. Large horn shaped paper lanterns illuminate this cavernous space and huge windows provide a charming view of this area’s cobblestone roads. Red is normally filled with Wall Street workers, tourists, and NYU students who equally appreciate Mexican fare and varied tequilas. These prices are geared toward the aforementioned groups who don’t know any better, but if you must do this scene do it here and do it on a weekday.
Went there on a random night and sat at the bar waiting for my friends to arrive from the bodies exhibit..I couldnt even get any of the bartenders attention as they were having conversations with people who already had full drinks..when one of them came over to take my order i was given attitude when i asked for a side lemon with my drink...finally sat down, our waitress took our order and while it was not really packed our food took forever and was subpar..never saw our waitress till she dropped off the check..this place barely passes for tex-mex as advertised and those pictures above arent even of the bar!

The food was good, and the atmosphere was wonderful. However, the service was terrible (we had to find our waiter twice for drink refills, and finally for the check), AND the waiter charged far more to my debit card than the receipt said! Fortunately my bank disputed the transaction, but I really don't think this is the way a quality business is run.

Worth the effort to go especially since they have outdoor seating on the sidewalk during the summer! Actually right next door to the famous "Body Exhibit". Food is great (hot and spicy depending on what you get) and the environment is great! Though when it gets busy, expect a small wait time. Love the big chili peppers hanging from the ceilings!
