Master Critic Review

'ritas 7.9
Hell's Kitchen
A sleek, cocktails-first Mexican spot built for pre-theater happy hours, with inventive frozen drinks and tight, modern tacos. The vibe is polished and compact, leaning more mezcal-bar than classic cantina. Great pick when you want elevated drinks and a buzzy corner scene.
Must-Try Dishes: Shrimp Nachos, Brussel Sprout Taco, Mezcal-forward Frozen Margarita
