Cocina Consuelo feels like a fonda, those homey Mexico City lunch counters, and it has a friendliness that can't be manufactured. When chef-owner Karina Garcia arrived...cheerfully greeted her customers - 'Hi!'' 'Good morning, what's up?' - like they'd been coming since they were kids. The restaurant started as a pandemic pop-up, and it's decorated as exuberantly as the apartment where Garcia and her husband Lalo Rodriguez first hosted those meals.
If there's a spectrum of TikTok-famous restaurants between Bernie's and Bad Roman, the Corner Store, situated appropriately enough on the corner of West Broadway and Houston, sits right in the middle. In the old Dos Casinos space, the team behind Catch has already successfully courted the extremely online crowd, with reservations fully booked within two weeks of opening.
