My overall experience was good. We booked a chefs counter seating and were seated very closely to the grill station. It was quite toasty, so it’s worth noting if you plan on doing the same.
The portion for the chefs menu was surprisingly big, most dishes were pleasantly executed. The menu incorporated many authentic ingredients from northern Mexico with French techniques and some Asian inspiration, it felt like a nice blend.
Our server was very nice but due to our seating we were having a hard time hearing him. Although I appreciate that multiple staffs came over to greet or to check on us from time to time.
We did the tasting menu and it rocked our world. Every bite was better than the last. The service was incredible, the food was jam packed with flavor, the vegetables were so fresh, and the cocktails were unique and flavorful. The spirits pairing was informative and delicious. The off menu guava y queso dessert was even better than the menu desserts. Absolutely floored by this place. Chef Caballero’s talent and vision are clear from the very first bite. Corima’s team is a well-oiled machine, and it was such a pleasure to watch them work together like a team. If you have the chance to do the tasting menu, I couldn’t recommend it more.

A very unique experience that left us with so many favorite bites. Squid preparation was novel and amazing. I will never forget the taste. Of tehshrimp soup. Taco was so lovely. The desert were amazing too. I highly recommend their Mexican pairing as well.

Only two and half years since its opening and Cormina has established itself as one of the MUST GO TO tasting menu experiences in NYC! The food is excellently prepared and presented and the flavors are extraordinary...you always want one more bit. The service is attentive and the staff is very accommodating. The lied motif is clearly Mexican, but it is infused with Asian and European notes and techniques. It is deserving of all the accolades it has received and more.

Very creative Mexican tasing menu. The cocktails are amazing. Service was phenomenal. Their version of bread and butter is to die for, the blood sausage taco was out of this world. Fun to sit at the chefs counter.
