Sentir is where it’s at! 🎉 - Edit
Sentir is the move if you’re looking for a vegan Mexican spot that brings flavor, vibes, and good energy all under one roof. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a super dope mural that sets the tone—colorful, bold, and unforgettable.
Read moreHappy hour here is next-level. The tacos are 🔥 (don’t skip the birria ones—they were my personal favorite), and the drinks hit just right. Everything we tried was packed with flavor, and that churro dessert? Out. Of. This. World.
The whole place had such a fun energy that we literally found ourselves dancing in our seats. Whether you’re pulling up with friends after work or just looking for your new favorite taco spot, Sentir delivers every time.
Already planning my next visit to try out that brunch menu that looks so good!
Pros: Frozen Margarita , Tacos, Vibes

Soooooo good! - Edit
Holy crap, Sentir is amazing! Great atmosphere, fun music, and exceptional service. But you don’t really care about that, do you? You want to hear about the food. Of course you do.
Read moreThe food is, in a word, INCREDIBLE. Try the artichokes and the arepitas. Both are complex, well-balanced, and—most importantly—delicious. Yummmmy!
Pros: Large number of compelling choices , Spicy dishes are actually spicy, Terrific service
Cons: A bit pricy but well worth it

Amazing Mexican food - Edit
We went all out and ordered a bunch of appetizers, entrées, and desserts to share, and honestly, everything was on point. The flavors were thoughtful but not overdone, and each dish felt really well put together.
Read moreA few highlights: the appetizers came out quickly and were super flavorful — perfect for starting the meal. The entrées were rich and satisfying without being too heavy, and desserts were just the right mix of fun and refined. You can tell there’s a lot of care in how the menu is built. (I didn’t enjoy a dish that was wrapped in leaf with rice inside, but was still great). Definitely try the “chunk” and churros.
The vibe was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel well taken care of without being overbearing.

My favorite restaurant! - Edit
Just popped into Sentir for the fourth time. Almost every thing I’ve eaten here is delicious (minus the chickn Mole - I wasn’t crazy about the texture). I love Mexican food and this is some of the best in New York City. Even my non vegan husband loves coming here. The quesadilla is something special. Pabil and Chorizo tacos are perfect! Wonderful sauce on the enchiladas verde. Loved the key lime dessert too!

The Quesadillas!! - Edit
We had a 6pm reservation on a Friday night and were seated immediately. Service was kind and friendly. We ordered the empanaditas, the chicken quesadilla, and the birria tacos. Food came out insanely fast. Empanaditas had an interesting flavor profile and could have used more cheese inside. The quesadillas were incredible - no complaints at all and just so delicious. The birria tacos were good but I found them a tad bit spicy (though I have a very low spice tolerance). For dessert we had the churros and tres leches. The chocolate sauce was our favorite to dip with churros, and the tres leches was good but I would have been interested to try without mango. So moist and really flavorful! Overall a great experience and service was quick! #Veganuary

Very good - Edit
I enjoyed the chicken mole the most. The carne asada was good but it’s just Chunk Steak so it depends if you like that product. Both very filling and came with rice. Taquitos were tasty just a bit too expensive for what they were.

Authentic, delicious vegan Mexican food - Edit
Read moreI can’t express enough how phenomenal Sentir is. New vegan restaurants can be a hit or miss; thankfully this was one of the good ones. The food is authentic, the ambience is intimate and true to the heritage, and the staff is attentive.
I had the 3 cheese empanadas, fried oyster mushrooms, homemade chorizo with papas, pescado frito tacos, churros and tres leches.
I was instantly attracted to chorizo since it was house made and it did not disappoint. The empanadas were not what I expected because of the spicy sweet guava glaze but it was a good kind of surprise - the kind I never knew I needed to experience.
The churros were perfect; they were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and paired with creamy, rich sauces.
Overall, definitely worth a visit if you like Mexican food!

Underwhelmed! - Edit
I’ve been to all of Chef Guy Vaknins restaurants (multiple times) and was really looking forward to eating at Sentir.
Read moreHowever, the food today was not the spot on, delicious flavors I’ve come to expect from his restaurants!
Out of the four things we ordered, two were strictly okay and the other two were delicious so I’m hoping the “okay” dishes were just a one-off at the kitchen.
What we ordered:
1) Elote Asado - Okay
2) spicy chorizo tacos - Favorite dish of the night!
3) Carne Asada - incredibly underwhelming. The rice and black beans didn’t have salt or any flavor really. The steak was decent but it all didn’t come together as a dish
4) Churros for dessert - Churros themselves were amazing! The caramel sauce was perfection. The other two dips it came with were okay.
Overall, disappointed only because of the high standards I have for Chef Vaknins restaurants, but will give it another shot at some point!
Pros: Service , Spicy chorizo tacos and churros
Cons: Lack of flavor in some basics (rice and beans!)

The newest restaurant from culinary visionary Chef Guy Vaknin and City Roots Hospitality, - Edit
The newest restaurant from culinary visionary Chef Guy Vaknin and City Roots Hospitality, Sentir serves an entirely vegan and kosher Mexican-inspired menu that will make you feel toda buena onda. The place has an elegant, moody vibe—the front walls splashed with black and white cacti, the back adorned with colorful animal carvings reminiscent of Oaxacan alebrijes—enhanced by the friendliness of the staff. Start with their frozen margarita; choose lime for a classic touch or mango or guava for something more adventurous. We highly recommend the champinones fritos, fried king oyster mushrooms, for appetizers. For the mains, share the pescado frito (beer-battered banana blossoms), the birria tacos, and their most popular dish, grilled chick’n enchiladas. I have no recommendation for dessert because we were just too full at that point; must save room for next time. Just 5 months old, Sentir tastes and feels like it has a long future.
