"Detroit’s legendary late-night crowd is front of mind at this vibey Eater Award winning bar and restaurant. Featuring a moody, black aesthetic, equally dramatic lighting, a DJ booth, and and outdoor fire pit for the summer months, the space is meant for winding gathering with friends over culturally relevant bites and cocktails. The kitchen is helmed by chef de cuisine Rosa Montalvo, who is from El Salvador, who, along with owner and chef and owner Javier Bardauil of Argentinian, offer a love letter to the cuisines of Latin America. Find sandwiches here like the Uruguayan chivito topped with a fried egg and choripán or a traditional Argentinian pork sausage garnished with fragrant chimichurri — both served on crusty, rustic baguettes. The restaurant also offers a ceviche bar featuring aguachile and a vegan option, Ecuadorian empanadas made with plantains and filled with cheese, and a crispy, sharable breaded beef Milanesa cutlet. The cocktail program emphasizes the use of Latin American spirits such as pisco or Paraguay’s official drink, yerba mate." - Serena Maria Daniels
