Part taqueria, part hidden cocktail bar, The Garret Group will open Borrachito Taqueria & Spirits at The Superette at the end of March, their second location outside New York City’s East Village.
Led by chef Yuval Ochoa, the menu is centered around authentic Mexican cooking principles and ingredients, with street-style tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Ochoa takes pride in his technique, from the nixtamalization of his own masa to create housemade tortillas daily to making a centerpiece of the Mexican trompo, a spinning device that pork is shaved off for al pastor tacos.
Other fillings include short rib and oxtail birria; brisket barbacoa and bone marrow; and vegan chorizo and potatoes. As for The Garret Bar, guests will enter the speakeasy-style venue through a walk-in freezer door where the casual Mexico City-style taqueria transforms into a high-energy, eclectic bar drawing inspiration from old school Route 66 Americana, featuring world-class cocktails by Max Stampa-Brown.
