Moondog is a new vinyl listening bar that serves cocktails and street food that had just opened up in the East Williamsburg 'hood.
From Chef Admony, the menu features Med-Mex small plates - we tried their:

+crispy fish tacos - with slaw, Moroccan tomato sauce, and shifka peppers (opting out of the cilantro)
+adobo brisket tacos - with slaw, s'chugichurri, pickled red onions, and crispy shallots
+the braised lamb tacos - with slaw, baharat mole, pickled red onions, and crispy shallots
+brisket hummus - with tahini, crispy shallots, and pickled onions, served with tortilla chips
+the corn, feta & mozzarella empanada - with caramelized onions
+Argentinian beef empanada - with olives, currants, jalapenos, and s'chugichurri
+a side of yucca fries, served with harissa aioli
+and, a side of esquites, with corn, lime, and cotija cheese
We tried some of their signature cocktails, such as the Prickly Pearita )prepared with blanco tequila, prickly pear, cucumber, and lime), Turkish Coffee Martini (prepared with cardamom-infused vodka, coffee liquer, espresso, pistachio orgeat, and orgeat foam), and the When Birds Cry (prepared with mezcal, mastiha, lime, and grapefruit).
Their ambiance was laid-back and comfortable, and the staff were friendly.
