Tortaria

Specialties: Tortaria® is a Mexican sandwich shop and tequila bar that specializes in Tortas, Taquitos and Tequila. We offer the widest selection of tortas in all of New York City and prepare them from scratch each morning with authentic Mexican spices and herbs. And we don't stop there. We are also proud to offer made-to-order guacamole, hand-pressed and grilled corn masa and flour tortillas, and fresh fruit-squeezed margaritas and mezcal cocktails. The 65-seat counter service restaurant and bar, located just steps from bustling Union Square, mimics the look and feel of a real roadside bodega in Mexico City. The space is adorned with artifacts from different historical time periods and features a wrap around tequila counter with a selection of small batch spirits and Mexican beers on tap, cans and bottles, enclosed sidewalk seating, and a roomy communal table for lingering and mingling with food and friends. Established in 2012. Tortaria co-owner and longtime New York City restaurateur Howard Berke developed the concept alongside partners Evan Golub, Danny Lachs, Marvin Mitzner, and Davie Berke, his son. The team envisioned Tortaria as a stylish Mexican sandwich joint that was accessible to the customer, sophisticated in its use of authentic Mexican ingredients, and flexible enough to do take-out as well as tequila.
