Spanish food hall with restaurants, kiosks, and retail
"A Basque-style steakhouse named for txuletón showcases the Spanish charcoal oven and a devotion to aged beef, marking José Andrés’s latest revamp inside Hudson Yards." - Tierney Plumb
"In New York City's Mercado Little Spain, I noticed Txula Steak, which opened earlier this month and contributes to the José Andrés Group’s established reputation for inventive, refined dining." - Rachel Chang
"Part of the era of bigger, flashier openings, this bustling spot leaned into whimsy with high‑low pairings like caviar‑topped chicken nuggets and a spectacle‑dining vibe meant to be documented as much as devoured." - Korsha Wilson
"This food hall from José Andrés is like a Spanish version of Eataly, with a bunch of different grab-and-go tapas kiosks specializing in things like empanadas, flatbreads, and cured meats. There are two solid sit-down restaurants to choose from within the hall. While La Barra has an extensive menu of regional tapas in the center of the market, Leña serves a slightly more formal dinner that involves live-fire cooking and big platters of paella." - will hartman, willa moore, carlo mantuano, kenny yang
"José Andrés’s affordable Mercado Little Spain diner has permanently closed; the sprawling restaurant opened in 2019 with the debut of Hudson Yards. In its place, Andrés’s second location of Oyamel is slated to open toward the end of April. Named for the fir tree that houses migrating Monarch butterflies, Oyamel will be a day-to-night tribute to Mexico City fare with antojitos (small plates), aguachiles, tortilla soup, and salads. Tacos will include carnitas, lengua, and, potentially, chapulines (the grasshopper tacos became synonymous with Oyamel when it first opened in D.C. in 2007)." - Nadia Chaudhury
