Morningside Heights
Vibes: Happy Hour Hotspots Girls Night Out Approved Trendy Table Hotspots Group Dining Gatherings
Cantina Taqueria & Tequila Bar is a buzzy Harlem spot on Lenox where taco platters, rice bowls, and a deep tequila list turn into long happy hours and late-night hangs. Guests lean on mango jerk chicken tacos, fish tacos, and bottomless-style brunch deals when they want something livelier than a standard neighborhood taqueria.
Must-Try Dishes: Mango Jerk Chicken Tacos, Fish Tacos, Twelve Tacos Platter
