Restaurant · West Town

"Tabu is a gigantic Latin American-inspired restaurant from the team behind the bar Recess, where someone is probably making a bad decision there as we type. The colorful space has pop art, bright furniture, and a roped ceiling that looks like a bunch of shredded paper towel tubes. It’s the kind of loud, crowded place where you order shots with your dinner—but unlike most of these kinds of restaurants, some of the food is pretty good. Like the fried chicken tacos, burger, and shrimp and grits with griddled corn masa and lime morita crema. Plus, they have a long drink menu with over 100 types of tequila and mezcal." - adrian kane
