| Los Dados
Los Dados is a modern Mexican restaurant in the Meatpacking District from Sueños' Sue Torres and the Double Seven team.
Torres has created a pass-that-over menu of tacos (roasted pork, coconut-infused halibut), ceviches (scallops with fennel and orange), and enchiladas (organic chicken mole). The vibe is very neighborhood: bright walls, kitschy shrines and place mats, cool chandeliers. A take-out taqueria (complete with abuelita pressing tortillas) serves into the wee small hours of the morning. This taqueria, a subway-tiled takeout/delivery taqueria, possibly open as late as 4 a.m., serving stomach-filling street food like tortas (Mexican sandwiches), chalupas, fish tacos and churros.
The bar's focused on 100% agave tequilas/rare mescals, plus Mex-tails like vanilla bean and orange blossom margaritas, and the Lagerita -- with lime, simple syrup, tequila, and Dos Equis, it takes the Gordian Knot of "liquor before beer?" and hacks through it with a...plastic straw.
You'll also have access to Aguas Frescas: water infused with fruits like watermelon and pineapple.
