"This East Village coctelería is a dimly-lit, flower and vine-decorated spot that works great for a solo drink seated in one of their tufted burgundy banquettes, or someplace to end up doing tequila shots with the neighboring table. Mexican Chef Xila Caudillo preps dishes like a marinated tomato tostada, tamale with jackfruit, and a mushroom avocado mango “ceviche” (the whole menu is gluten-free too). It’s also a great option for cocktails, with their drinks being made by the team behind nearby Amor y Amargo. Make sure to grab a drink or three, like the "Yellow Pineapple" or "Oaxaca Old Fashioned." - marisel salazar
