Description
In a city of gimmicky high-end Mexican restaurants and generic low-end chains, this lofty Soho eatery occupies a space somewhere in between. Peruse the notable selection of 40 tequilas (like smooth Herradura) and tuck into fare like Yucatan enchiladas filled with soft-boiled eggs and topped with mild and spicy salsas, or a saffron-scented fish stew, thick with cockles, bass, shrimp and guajillo peppers. Stick around for dessert: A satiny chocolate-espresso custard made with 70 percent Valrhona is superb.
Hours
Tue–Thu noon–11pm; Fri–Sun noon–midnight.
Delicious mexican without the streamers and cheesiness. Low key and elegant. Good drinks too
poor margaritas, poor service/ambiance, lame music. guacamole is good, the flautas are good too. 100% not impressed, average mexican in Soho.
