Master Critic Review

El Paso Mexican Restaurant Mezcal & Tequila Bar 8.4
East Harlem
Long-running East Harlem mezcal and tequila bar that evolved from a 1990s street cart into a full-service restaurant for regional Mexican dishes and agave-heavy cocktails. The room balances colorful murals with a narrow, cozy dining area that works for dates, relaxed celebrations, and lingering at the bar. It’s where locals send people who want a sit-down Mexican dinner with proper drinks north of 96th Street.
Must-Try Dishes: Short rib tacos, Chicken mole, Chips and guacamole
