Book NowAbout Barrio Cellar
Descend into this Elizabeth Street basement for late-night Mexican plates and an expansive tequila shelf. Regulars drop in for fish tacos and freshly shaken Tommy’s margaritas, but the subterranean room really shifts gears as midnight nears—staff push back tables to make room for live salsa and reggaeton sets until 2:00 AM. It works equally well for casual weekday specials or loose group nights fueled by braised birria and jalapeño poppers.
- Late-Night Latin Dance Floor: Staff clear dining tables late on weekend nights to make room for salsa dancing and reggaeton DJ sets until 2:00 AM.
- Underground Cellar Setting: A subterranean tequila bar serving tacos, quesadillas, and house cocktails in a lively basement space.
- Weekday Food & Margarita Specials: Crowds gather for weekday value including Taco Tuesday deals and early evening happy hour margaritas.
