What I wrote thereFold it away
Oxomoco, a Greenpoint gem founded in 2018, provides NYC with affordable Michelin Star Mexican food. The restaurant boasts a coveted star and keeps things approachable. Skip the white tablecloths; here, wood-fired dishes like tacos, tostadas, and tlayudas reign, making it feel like a Michelin-star barbecue.
Chef Justin Bazdarich creates culinary masterpieces, drawing inspiration from all corners of Mexico. Even the tortillas are house-made with organic, heirloom corn, a fun fact reflecting their commitment to quality. Most dishes average around $20, but the grilled Berkshire pork chop ($55) and American wagyu bavette ($75) are splurge-worthy options.
