The Best Restaurants In West Harlem & Hamilton Heights - New York - The Infatuation

"This little walk-in-only restaurant at 143rd grew out of a pandemic supper club run by couple Karina Garcia and Lalo Rodriguez. At night, their mostly Mexican meals still feel like dinner parties. Someone might spontaneously decide to play an upright piano after more than a few glasses of wine from Baja California. People sit at a handful of tables or at the bar, swiping earthy-sweet tortillas through the last bits of birria and marrow on the halved bones in front of them. As great as dinner is though, we love breakfast even more, when you can pair some eggs and fried tortillas with a refreshing café de olla or pineapple espresso. Get a fluffy, fruit-topped masa pancake for the table." - the curious uptowner, sonal shah
