Dinner at Atla in New York, NY

Dan and I were around Astor Street, so decided to go to Atla for dinner since we'd heard such rave reviews.  It's a pretty new Mexican restaurant by a very famous Mexican chef.  It was early when we arrived so didn't have to wait for a table.   The food was definitely different than what we were used to.  Some delicate dishes that seemed more complex than traditional Mexican spots.  However, very pricey and the portions were small, so sadly we spent a ton and were not even full!  The good news was that their mezcal selection was on point, so we got to try a bunch, and ended up tipsy since we didn't eat enough lol.  I'm glad to have tried this chef's food but wish the value matched up.

I forgot what exactly this was, but remember thinking for the price we should've gotten at least 3 :(

Ceviche verde

very lime-y

Fish milanese

The pambazo was my fav.  Deep fried sloppy joe essentially with delicious fresh cotija cheese.  NOT BIG ENOUGH THOUGH
