New NYC Taco Restaurant San Taco opens from Cosme Founder

The back scenes build up in Kostod In accordance with himself with a new Taquerian city in an unusual arrangement attached to a long-time Mexican restaurant.

Santiago Perez – A partner with Chef Enrique Olvera in restaurants like Noho's AtlaThe Los Angeles's Datalangand the Pujol of Mexico City under Casamata Hospitality Group umbrella – launched a solo restaurant. His name may not be as known, but his impact on New York Mexico food is lowered. And, on Thursday, May 22, he would open Holy Taco In Nolita, operating from a strict storefront at 114 Kenmare Street, between Lafayette Street and Cleveland Place, a main location not lacking traffic.

In the last couple of years, New York taco scene was leveling, with players who wanted Taqueria Ramirez. Casamata leans over Olvera and Team Debuting This club in Williamsburg last year. Of course, people have a desire to compare it with Santo Taco.

It's a gesture croange Santos Taco Signage was not properly proposed that means former sight The corner ended completely, causing a hoopla in comments. It has actually been depleted, hiding place of restaurant and place at the bottom of the area, a places in the lower Manhattan Nightlife, and passing in the extra space in its alley at Santo Taco.

However, it is a small unorthodox: the two independent runs businesses in the Consiew Tacos in what is important to be a shared address. Perez said he knows La Esquina team for a long time and “it means that many they trust me in their space.” BOP from one to another and have a plan all night.

Landmarked Building gives a view of the past: Santo Taco remains old 1 Santa Signage “installed in 2005, as it former life as a deli. Perez is most of the changes in the cosmetics inside, the external marquee updated with the added name of Santo Taco, but if he does not, he or she is a photograph of the archival Perez.

It also means that less slow space (400 square miles) brings some New York York challenges: The commands will be taken to the window, and there are only seven banks inside. Outside of sitting are in acts. In opening Windows, space can be a part of the streets, leaving the smells of healing. Today, the counter-service spot has only food.

The streamline, simplicity is the king: “There is no hiding” in a menu like that, he said.

There are only five tacos: a steak trump – new york strip and sirloin with avocado salsa; Pork carnitas the chicken foot with pineapple marinade, avocado salsa, and pickled onions; and carne asada with potatoes and avocado salsa. Vegetarian option is a mushroom mix of shiitakes and crime with squash flowers, but it can be changed in time. Every taco is dressed in, but there is a hot station for add-ons. Agua Santa with Palo Santo and Mexico Sodas are available to drink. (They will think of a liquor license later). No dessert is now.

“If the cosme was aged 10, it was a big milestone, and it prompted some meditation – we had a great run, but what I was next 10 years,” says Mexico City Native.

Thus, Perez said he went to the CEO and away from the daily dealing with that group restaurant he built, but “remained a partner and friend.”

Now, he brought his skills to set openings in the restaurants in the last decade to Santo Taco. “I wanted to take many elements we showed to good dining restaurants, like not cutting corners, knowing our suppliers, by the end of the day,” he said. “This is a more casual condition and available point in price, but principles are the same.”
