El Lugar Cantina

Mexican restaurant · Midtown West

"From the same group behind The Refinery Rooftop, this spot in Nomad has leather booths and chandeliers, and a menu of sharable regional Mexican dishes—including a mole that incorporates animal crackers as one of the ingredients, and wood-fired items. An extensive agave program includes a customizable margarita menu." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
