Stephen Starr's beloved Philadelphia Mexican joint now has a home in New York's Battery Park City, with Starr's signature casual-yet-contemporary style, the brand's blend of Mexican and Mexican-American cuisine, and a real south-of-the-border spirit. Everything is made from scratch according to the most authentic culinary traditions and techniques, and the menu is so ranging and reliable that it's pointless to highlight any specific dishes. Literally anything you pick will be among the best you've ever had. That being said, seriously consider the brisket or achiote grilled fish tacos (or both; why deprive yourself?) and the cowboy steak, a 28oz. bone-in, dry-aged ribeye affair seasoned to absolute, tongue-torturing perfection.
