Mezcal bar with untamed decor, DJs, and rare agave spirits
"Los Salvajes is a hidden mezcal bar with absolutely no signage on top of Cariñito Tacos in Greenwich Village—and it’s one of the most fun bars we've visited in awhile . You start with pork belly tacos and natural wine downstairs, and then head up and through the beaded curtain, where DJs play cumbia and Bad Bunny, and agave-lovers sip rare mezcals under neon lights. Los Salvajes is open Thursday through Saturday, and it's a private bar according to their Instagram bio. But in our experience, ordering a taco downstairs just about seals the friendship deal." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, andrew ryce
"In NYC, novelty and exclusivity constitute cool. And one of the city’s current hottest bars is a tiny, quasi-secret spot that’s only going to stick around through the end of summer. To get inside Los Salvajes, you have to be a “friend” of the bar, but in our experience, the term is used loosely. This is one of the all-too-rare places where you can dance without a cover in Manhattan, so once you make it through the curtain, expect to be greeted by a DJ playing a mix of cumbia and Bad Bunny, as well as all of the best-looking tourists visiting from Mexico City that weekend." - allie conti
"Los Salvajes on top of Cariñito Tacos in Greenwich Village is sort of a speakeasy, definitely a mezcal bar, and a very good time. Start with pork belly tacos and natural wine down below, and then head upstairs and through the beaded curtain where DJs play cumbia and Bad Bunny, and CDMX transplants sip rare mezcals under neon lights. Los Salvajes is only open Thursday through Saturday, and it's technically a private bar—their Instagram bio says friends of friends only. But in our experience, ordering a taco downstairs just about seals the friendship deal." - sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
"Opening April 19 as a wild-game–focused food truck at the distillery, this project leans heavily on Mexican flavors with dishes like duck tinga and wild boar guisada tacos, nachos made with wild boar chorizo, beets prepared like elote with cotija, mayo, lime and cilantro, buñuelos finished with salted sotol honey, sweet potato tots, and a hamburger made from antelope and bacon. Cocktails will be available at the host tasting room. The venture is a collaboration between chef Jesse Griffiths — a 2013 James Beard cookbook nominee for wild-game cooking — and outfitter Josh Crumpton; Stephanie Stackhouse, who previously worked with Griffiths, will helm the kitchen. The truck’s service hours are Thursdays 4–8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays noon–8 p.m., and Sundays noon–6 p.m., and the opening will be marked by a special dinner." - Erin Russell
