Yellow Rose

Sorry Texas, this "yellow rose" belongs to the bustling East Village and announces its arrival via a striped awning and bright green sign. Inside, it's quaint and vintage in every way—with a takeout window and set of saloon doors that lead to the main dining room. Amidst this setting of weathered wood and stained glass chandeliers, diners can be found devouring Tex-Mex food with a focus on tacos and inspired cocktails.
Flour tortillas are made in house daily and feature in a myriad of deliciously dressed-down creations—from the migas tacos with simmered tortilla chips to the more hearty carne guisada. Wild boar with grits is a sumptuous mainstay, but those with sweet on their mind should go straight for the nostalgic Texas sheet cake with candied pecans.
