Make a quick detour off heavily trafficked Broadway into this pleasantly bustling Mexican cantina that's one of the best dining options around Times Square. The bi-level eatery has a festive, celebratory vibe, with several seating options (bar, balcony, main dining room, and ceviche bar), oversize bronze chandeliers, and gold and terra-cotta tones throughout. Foodies flock here for the Mexico City-style tacos with Negro Modelo-braised brisket, quesadillas studded with black truffle and huitlacoche (a corn fungus), and the extensive tequila selection—upwards of 100 brands. Adventurous palates will be drawn to tacos featuring chili-studded dried grasshoppers, lobes of seared foie gras, and caramelized veal sweetbreads.
