Sentir

Si! Si! Si! Upscale vegan Mexican cuisine was something I didn't realize I needed! The arepitas were my absolute fave and it was so nice to be able to order a proper frozen margarita (not out of a machine). Ambience was perfect for a Friday night.

Had a friend gathering here twice and both times were fantastic. We enjoyed great drinks, delicious food, and amazing staff service. Highly recommend!

Dinner was excellent. The tostada was probably my favorite, until dessert. You have to try the chocolate chili tart. Best vegan dessert I have ever had. Sometimes I leave vegan restaurants having eaten all fried food. Not this time. Service was great. Ambiance was great. We will be back! Highly recommend.

Food is bursting with flavor, beautiful to look at and paired with insane drinks ! I wish I could gatekeep this place. Absolutely a 10/10

This restaurant deserves its place among the top 10 of several NYC restaurant lists: Top Ten Vegan, Top Ten Mexican, Top Ten Chelsea…. (It’s now on all of our personal lists.) Exceptional food and attentive, personable service made this an excellent experience for everyone (vegan and non-vegan) at our table. The recipes are fresh, flavorful and subtly inventive. Something as simple as a light grilling on the tomatoes before they are chopped for the Salsa de Tomate, adds a smoky undertone to what could be just another pico de gallo. The Coconut Ceviche is a bright combo of cool sweetness and warm spice. Even the fresh corn comes through brightly in the house-made chips. The mole sauces on the Hen of the Woods entrée was the right mix of complex, rich flavor, and an elegance befitting the delicate mushrooms. But for me, a carnivore married to a vegan, the grilled Chunk Foods steak in the Carne Asada taco was a revelation. The vegan meat has the juiciness, texture, and flavor of quality beef. I found myself extracting the meat from the tacos to look at it and taste it on its own, quite astounded. The tacos’ other fresh ingredients and the chili broth make this one of the tastiest asadas I’ve ever had. Accompaniments, from the crema with the meal to the dipping sauces for the delightful donut-shaped Cinnamon Churros are all vegan — but I didn’t think about it. I didn’t miss meat or dairy anywhere in the meal. Miguel, our server, and the rest of the capable staff, were attentive, smart, and very hospitable. And the space, decorated with beautifully painted masks, was comfortable and inviting. We will be back, and we encourage you to try Sentir if you haven’t already.

Food was amazing!! Exceptional taste!

I’m not vegan, but this place is solid. The food is way better than I expected—especially the charred papas, which are just really well done. Crispy, smoky, super satisfying. The mezcal selection is also great—way better than most places around. Good variety, and they clearly know what they’re doing with it. Nico, the manager, runs a tight ship. Always professional and keeps things moving without making a big deal out of it. Chill atmosphere, great drinks, and surprisingly good food. Definitely worth a visit.

Top 3 vegan spots in NYC for sure. The arepitas are out of this world! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The food definitely speaks for itself! Each item was absolutely delicious, crafted with care and patience, with authenticity at its core, and the desserts and cocktails were exquisite! A gem for sure, and I will be visiting again soon!
