Editorial Review

Creative Mex on the far side of the BQE. Rooftop lovefest brings killer Manhattan skyline view. Slick wood interior, lit by lanterns and the mole fire in your tummy. Chef Hans Dannerhoj sends us into orbit with dishes like huitlacoche lasagna—can't pronounce that shiz, but damn it's good. Local bakeries chime in on rich dessert menu. House-infused vanilla-pineapple tequila guaranteed to knock your socks off.
