Named by NYLuxury as “one of the top ten restaurants in New York serving Latin food” and as “Top Tequila Bar in the US” by the editors of USA Today, this intimate and stylish cocina offers its guests a blend of passions. Jorge’s desire is to create a sexy and fun space to enjoy creative cocktails with the best of Latin cuisine.

Excellent service; great food; try the guacamole and you won’t be disappointed; the chicken enchiladas were amazing and the verde sauce had just the right amount of kick and it was flavorful. Margaritas perfectly crafted.

Nice atmosphere and comfortable seating. The weather was lovely so they had the doors open and since we were sitting near the entrance, it was like dining al fresco. Excellent, friendly service and the food is always so good. Definitely would recommend for a get together with friends or family and a great meal.
