The Scene

Smooth adobe walls, spruce-fir-latticed ceilings and flickering candles help create the stylishly relaxed vibe. Sit by the tall front windows watching West Village strollers, or settle into the warm, spacious back dining room. An informed, unobtrusively friendly staff takes care of newcomers and the slew of Agave addicts alike.

The Food

Fresh, intricately-flavored twists on Southwestern fare, in generous portions. Standout appetizers include red snapper ceviche, lamb and manchego taquitos and perfect guacamole. Quesadillas and tacos are kicked up a notch with barbecued duck picadillo or Maine lobster fillings, accented by mango pico or sweet plantains; well-prepared skirt steak and Angus short ribs with a delicate mole are entree favorites. Cumin croutons, spiced pecans and jicama enhance the hearty salads. Save room for Mexican vanilla creme brulee or cider-glazed, pecan-stuffed apples with ice cream--then come back for one of the best brunches in town.

Brunch Rocks

With nearly 30 treats to choose from--such as blueberry pancakes with lemon cream cheese, and spicy pressed chicken sandwiches--we can't wait for the weekend.

Drink Up

The bar serves up 30 kinds of tequila and yummy signature cocktails like the Prickly Pear Margarita or mezcal with ginger beer.

A Good Start

Enjoy complimentary blue corn chips with pico, black and green olives and a hummus-like dip before every meal.
