Tips
- Like your drink sweet and spicy? Then the Blackberry Michelada is definitely for you! Negra Modelo + blackberries + grapefruit juice + tajin + salt!
- Brunch is reasonably priced and they let pups sit outside!
- Guac presentation is beautiful!
- Rigo, the bartender, makes some mean mezcal cocktails. The matador norteno was delicious.
- El Chamuco; A mix of tequila blanco, mezcal, creme de cassis, homemade ginger beer, and lime juice. The combination is light, refreshing, complex, and smoky, all at the same time.
- They have dog-friendly food for pups!
- Awesome margaritas!
- Go for happy hour. $8 for 2 awesome fish tacos.
- Great cocktails, attentive and friendly service, and a good location that is the perfect combination of relaxed but upbeat, intimate, and welcoming. Super authentic. Can't wait to come back.
- Hidden gem of a restaurant in the LES. Hangar steak was delicious and the potatoes were next level. Cheesy amazingness. Short rib was good too and guac is a great starter. Solid cocktails.
- Solid mezcal and pulque based drinks and solid Mexican fare make this tiny bar a worthwhile visit. Guac with pomegranate seeds and crab tostada were both solid. I liked the spicy Oaxaca Express.
- Amazing food, amazing service! Be sure to get enchiladas, guacamole and fish tacos!! The oaxaca mescal drink!!
- Great guacamole - highly recommend the one with pomegranate seeds. Do be warned that the restaurant is small and the service is quite slow.
- Alex is a great bartender
- Excellent mezcal and pulque drinks from Rigo and Alex
- El Chamuco is a mix of tequila blanco, mezcal, creme de cassis, homemade ginger beer, and lime juice.
- Order the Pisco Sour from Alex, with the tostada con cangrejo. YUM.
- Small cozy place with super-friendly staff.
- Great food, good prices, try the Cocktails and the avocado dip
- My meal was pleasing!
