El Chucho
El Chucho - Cocina Superior is a quirky two-level Mexican eatery with a bright blue façade. The second level is actually a rooftop terrace partially covered by a skylight. The terrace has the feel of a typical Mexican taquería while the main dining room sports a vibrant industrial look. If you want to enjoy the street view, there are a few chairs and tables placed on the sidewalk. This restaurant specializes in traditional Mexican fare with a focus on tacos and margaritas. It also has good vegetarian options such as Chimichangas Con Chimichurri combining Queso Chihuahua cheese, beans, mushrooms and cabbage. It is known for its diverse brunch options, torta breads and a type of sandwich known as bocadillo.
