Charred steaks, fresh tortillas, and tableside sizzle at Cuerno - Review - New York - The Infatuation
"You can't shake a martini without splashing a steakhouse around Rockefeller Center, but Cuerno is a little different than the rest. The giant, bi-level chophouse comes from a Mexican restaurant group, and the shift from steak and potatoes to steak and tortillas is a welcome one. With a well-stocked tequila cart, wine glasses bigger than our heads, servers doing one-handed arm raises with loaded trays, and a roving tableside taquero, Cuerno has as much Midtown Manhattan in its DNA as it does Mexico City. It’s not just for show, though. The complimentary tortilla chips come with five excellent salsas, and a 52-ounce tomahawk is perfectly cooked and charred, then decorated with peels of onion holding pools of a lemony sauce. One whiff of the creamy cheesecake confirms it’s made with ripe manchego, which pairs well with the candied guava on top. video credit: Sonal Shah photo credit: Sonal Shah photo credit: Sonal Shah photo credit: Sonal Shah Pause Unmute" - Sonal Shah
