Bed-Stuy is becoming a hotspot for Mexican cuisine with new openings, including the highly anticipated Olmo, a cantina Neoyorquina. Scheduled to open on June 14, Olmo will feature a casual atmosphere with a focus on nostalgic dishes inspired by Mexico City. Co-founder Jael Lopez, an alum of prestigious kitchens, aims to provide a welcoming dining experience. Signature dishes like crudite, chicharron preparado, and queso fundido emphasize a fusion of cultural influences, appealing to both local residents and visitors.
The crudite made with lacto-fermented plums, tomatoes, and chayote best exemplifies Olmo's New York-Mexico City theme, with tinges of Lopez's fine-dining roots.
I wanted to make sure to highlight and bring that homey feeling into the dining room, not necessarily in a stuffy way, but in an approachable way where people in the neighborhood can feel excited to come and check it out.
