"If you’re looking for a cocktail bar that won’t break the bank, El Camino (from the team that brought you nearby Electric Burrito) is the new spot you should be after. Prices range from $13 to $15 for drinks like a coconut margarita, which, sadly, is worth celebrating in today’s world of cocktails that can hover above $20." - Emma Orlow
"From the team behind Electric Burrito, this East Village sit-down tapas bar features an approachable drinks list that keeps prices between $13 and $16 rather than pushing $20-plus martinis." - Emma Orlow
"The Electric Burrito team has a tiny empire locked down on the corner of 1st. Avenue and St. Marks. There’s their original location, late-night burger spot HighLife, and now El Camino for cocktails and tapas. If you live in the neighborhood, it's a very solid go-to for first dates. They focus on the classics, and the most expensive drink—a rye manhattan—is $17. The rest of the cocktails, like a coconut margarita, range from $13-16. It’s a small space, where dates at the bar chat over dirty martinis and some pretty great bar nuts, and dates at tables snack on sandwiches made with crunchy Balthazar bread and interesting fillings, like braised pork and olives. photo credit: El Camino" - Will Hartman
"A tapas bar project has its sign up at 135 First Avenue between St. Marks Place and Ninth Street. Alex Thaboua, Will Wyatt, and Edie Ugot have teamed up with developer Peter Kolinsky in filings to Community Board 3, submitting a 'snacky' menu that includes a mortadella plate, a Serrano ham platter, sardines, steak tartare, grilled cheese, a little gem Caesar, bucatini, and paella. EV Grieve reports the sign has gone up; Eater has reached out for more information." - Melissa McCart
