Bar Tulix

Baja-inspired eats meet SoHo sleek at Bar Tulix where the food straddles a very relaxed line between casual and haute Mexican cuisine. The seafood-leaning menu is primed with dishes easy to enjoy on an average weeknight or a weekend celebration alike. 
Guacamole is far from ho-hum, enlivened with roughly mashed creamy avocado jacketed by dabs of smoky-spicy salsa verde, serrano peppers, cool crema and cotija cheese. The refreshing shrimp tostada growls under the weight of more than a dozen plump poached shrimp tossed in mayonnaise, Clamato and pico de gallo. But, fork-shredding the much-talked-about short rib, then piling it on a tortilla with black beans, a roasted shishito pepper and a squirt of lime is as entertaining as it is delicious.
