Yes: winter guacamole, vegetable fajitas. Chicken wing confit has good flavor but the double wings are kinda inefficient
Vincent FrissoraJune 21, 2014
If you're with a few people get the tasting menu. It was about 12 plates which were all unique and delicious.

Tip for couples: 5 dishes, a drink each and dessert will cost you a lot less than the Chef's tasting menu and it will be enough food.

I love the duck fat mezcal! It comes with grapefruit and cracklins

Grilled octopus is out of this world - topped with truffle oil. Omg! Duck tacos are great.

The food style, taste, quality, and ambient are as great as Traif.

This is something special. Try the cactus appetizer and you will no longer think of a cactus as such a prick.
margaret tungMarch 4, 2013
carrots, esquites, fundido, carnitas, drunken shrimp, corn flan, lamb meatballs, and churros are must orders!

Fish tacos, tuna seviche, four gras! I recommend take Chef’s set.
Roman BedinerMay 25, 2014
Go for the $45 chef special, we'll worth it. Bone marrow was very nicely done.
Amy LiyaMay 30, 2022
Tasting menu was very worth it and the deconstructed margarita was A++.

Hard to score a table, but worth it. Great food! Try the brussels sprouts!
Jocelyn MedinaJune 8, 2014
I think the food is an acquired taste. I didn't like it at all, but the service and atmosphere is excellent. Come here to challenge your taste buds lol

This place is insanely good. 100% get the chef tasting menu.
YoungOctober 1, 2013
They're trying hard to make everything unique but it's not there yet. It needs to be refined. You can't just pour sweet chilli sauce over brussel sprouts. And their wine wasn't good.
Gayle AlexanderDecember 2, 2017
Any of the cocktails and foigras taco
Eat This NYDecember 22, 2013
Foie grad pastor and shrimp gorditas are great. I'd pass on the bland guacamole.
Amy ThaiMarch 30, 2013
$40 tasting menu is worth every penny.
