This David Rockwell–designed Mexican restaurant has vivid terrazzo steps, a two-story blue-tile water wall and backlit pressed roses that brighten the first-floor bar. The guacamole, prepared tableside to your specifications, launched a pestle craze in New York; the stuff is still the chunky, spicy standard by which others are judged.
Avocados’ superfood status and year-round availability keeps them in high-demand by Gothamites, where they can be found as avocado toast at coffee shops in NYC or whipped into the best guacamole in NYC at the city’s best Mexican restaurants. Whether as bar food to go along with your cerveza or an accompaniment to one of the best tacos in NYC, these are the best guac dips in town, from strict classics to a hefty battered fritter.
