Oxomoco
Hands down the current coolest Mexican restaurant in New York
City, Oxomoco is popular enough that tables here are hard to come
by (they’re usually taken up by designers and start-up owners). In
the heart of Greenpoint, its aesthetics are just what you’d expect
of a talk-of-the-town restaurant in 2019 – muted tones, a sexy,
curved bar and plants trailing from the ceiling. Beyond the crowd
and the setting, the menu is a serious standout. The antojitos are
fun to share with a big group – stock up on chilli-lime popcorn and
smoked mango to tide you over while you sip on Oaxacan Summers, a
cocktail chock-full of coconut rum and pineapple. For mains, the
grilled sea bass with mole and vegan beet “chorizo” tacos are
non-negotiables.
