"Executive chef and partner Craig Koketsu is behind the wheel, steering a menu that fuses regional Mexican flavors with playful detours through California and Texas. Dishes aren't shy on spectacle: Lobster al pastor arrives slicked with achiote-chili butter and pineapple pico de gallo, while the long-bone short rib quesabirria dares you to build your own tacos with blue corn tortillas and dunk them into consommé poured tableside."
"Margaritas run in multiple directions, but Limusina's calling card may be the Tajin Martini- a dirty Martini gone rogue with Tajin-infused tequila and spicy olive brine. Frozen fans can chase the Vampiro, a tequila-and-grapefruit number that nods to a Jalisco street classic or sip on mezcal-spiked riffs like the Mezcalero. Desserts from pastry whiz Lucy Blanche are no afterthought. Picture jelly donut conchas oozing strawberry jam and Bavarian cream, or a lemon icebox cake cloaked in hibiscus petals."
Limusina is a 215-seat, tri-level Mexican restaurant opening September 15 on the corner of 34th Street and Ninth Avenue in a converted parking garage. Quality Branded created the project, with executive chef and partner Craig Koketsu leading a menu that fuses regional Mexican flavors with California and Texas influences. Signature dishes include lobster al pastor with achiote-chili butter, a long-bone short rib quesabirria served with blue corn tortillas and tableside consommé, machetes stuffed with squash blossoms or black truffle and guava jam, and solteros single-serve nachos. The bar offers inventive cocktails like a Tajin Martini, Vampiro, and mezcal-forward drinks. Pastry chef Lucy Blanche contributes playful desserts.
