La Esquiña in Soho

My new favorite place to eat when in New York. I think they put crack sprinkles in their rice and beans. And quite possibly grow their avocado from rainbows.

A sleekly restored diner car doubles as a taqueria and a front for one of the city's most stylish dining destinations. Behind the door marked "Employees Only," down the stairs and through the bowels of the kitchen, lies a vault ornamented with dripping candelabras. Thankfully the unique space doesn't outshine the food, from skillfully balanced seviches to authentically styled tacos and the generously flavored mains.
