this was a flawless, special lunch: a sweet and juicy margarita; "rojo" guacamole (spicy, with smoky chipolte. queso fresco adds a creamy, brightness); light, fresh lobster tacos; and crisp, airy churros (who knew that was possible?). the cajeta sauce will run down the thin channels of the fried dough, so take quick bites. expect to have sugar and cinnamon down to your wrists and all over your chin. what's more fun than that? especially when paired with a spiked mexican coffee?
the toloache margarita: frida kahlo blanco tequila, hibiscus, muddled blueberries, and lime.
"langosta" tacos: spicy lobster, morita salsa, avocado
churros: dusted with sugar and mexican cinnamon, with cajeta and chocolate dipping sauces.
TOLOACHE. 251 west 50th street, between eighth avenue and broadway. 212.581.1818.
