Checked out The Daisy after their recent "re-brand". Overall, the food was very good and it has a cozy, trendy and intimate vibe. The burrata was a generous serving and the sauce for dipping was delicious. The bucatini was very good and had a good kick from the cherry peppers, but wasn't anything life changing. Overall, we still miss the tacos and it seems they changed the coconut margarita recipe...it just wasn't the same and didn't have the toasted coconut rim.

What a delightful experience! Servers were friendly and unpretentious. Cocktails were fun and potent! Food was very fresh and just a little unique but not so unique that you weren't sure what to make of it. My partner loved his burger. I had the papatelle with brocollini and little bits of sausage maybe(?) which I'm guessing is a dish that gets swapped out as ingredients shift. It was excellent. Ambiance was cozy and sheik but again, not pretentious. Also, for what you get, the prices were quite reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Friendly staff, great tacos and good beer - how could you go wrong? Looked like a great mix of parties and a lot of regulars. Had fried chicken and barbacoa tacos and they were great.

The Daisy is a cute chic taco and margarita place. The tacos are fusion, they have a bulgogi one with kimchi and a fried chicken and a coconut shrimp one plus others. Not authentic Mexican tacos but stills delicious. Classy place. The margaritas are strong! I saw a sign for buy one get one margaritas on Wednesdays. They have a decent amount of tables even though it's a small place, there is a back room with more tables. The servers were attentive and friendly. The coconut margarita was creamy and I liked the coconut shreds on the rim. Margaritas and tacos are all around $13. Tacos come with 2. Bill can definitely add up but it's worth it. Great environment to catch up with friends. The chip appetizer with pico de gallo was delicious. The chips had a great crisp, they tasted deep fried. Perfectly salted. I liked my coconut shrimp tacos the best. 2 big meaty shrimp in each taco, crunchy and cooked well and the pineapple in it gave it a nice sweetness. The fried chicken tacos were a mix of dark and light meat chunks, which were very tender and soft. Though a bit too soft for my likening of chicken texture. And the sauce has a very strong cilantro flavor. If I'm in the area again I would love to come back and try other tacos and margarita flavors!

A great addition to Remsen Street, The Daisy offers simple menu of "fast food" and Mexican "street food." We stopped to grab a bite before a show at the Music Hall. It was quite full and busy because it was mid-week and few other restaurants were open. We had been curious and felt it was kismet. They were so nice to us and found a place to squeeze us in at the bar. We ordered that day's special margarita - blood orange- it was delicious. For food we ordered the coconut shrimp and pork tacos. They were prepared in fresh, authentic way that allows the fresh flavors to come through. The tacos were fresh, bright, and done right. The Daisy is an intimate cozy spot for food and/or drinks. I look forward to a next visit.

When The Daisy in Troy closed, on their way to re-booting as Frankie Bird, I discovered that my review of that restaurant had been transferred to this site. NO MA'AM!! Different business, different review. So I was "obligated" to come here. Oh the horrors. Though my experience here probably has just as many superlatives, maybe even a few more, because I like the space here better, and it's so much easier to get parking in Cohoes than Troy. So yeah, everything is about the same, i.e., consistently good... fantastic margaritas, tasty tacos, terrific laid-back, relaxed, atmosphere. Just as I had done with their Troy establishment, this is a place I want to return with friends. Often.

Great spot for margs and tacos! Went here on a Saturday night and found a spot at the bar. I started with an order of nachos, which were so good. You could tell the chips were homemade and they were topped with the most delicious queso and guacamole. I also tried the shrimp and pork tacos, which were both excellent. I loved the pineapple salsa on the shrimp tacos and both had the perfect amount of heat. I ordered the Smokey Blackberry and Spicy Pineapple margaritas, which were excellent. The staff was also super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!
