Teqa (CLOSED)

Tequila and tacos are the focus of this Mexican cantina in Murray Hill. The 76-seat restaurant pays homage to its liquid muse with a chandelier crafted from 40 tequila bottles. Find more than 100 tequila selections, plus a cocktail menu from noted barkeep Naren Young (Locanda Verde, Pegu Club). The latter list includes classics like the margarita and signature concoctions, such as the Red Pepper Daisy (blanco tequila, red bell pepper, agave nectar, lime, soda) and the Voodoo Child (reposado tequila, vanilla, maple syrup, pineapple, lemon). Offset the booze with gussied-up tacos, like one stuffed with short ribs, vegetable slaw, jalapeño and cotija cheese.
