El Coco 9th Ave 8.1
Hell's Kitchen
Vibes: Happy Hour Hotspots Live Music Showtime Girls Night Out Approved Instagram Worthy Wonders
A newer, high-energy taqueria upstairs on Ninth Ave with an all-day happy hour and DJ-fueled nightlife feel. The food stays focused on tacos and shareables, while the bar pushes easy, crowd-pleasing margaritas. Come when you want party momentum more than a quiet sit-down.
Must-Try Dishes: Al Pastor tacos, Empanadas, Frozen Margarita
