Consuelo

Lalo Rodriguez, who cooked at Cosme, and Karina Garcia, formerly of Eleven Madison Park, started this restaurant during the pandemic selling birria out of their apartment before it grew into a supper club built on tasting menus from Rodriguez's grandmother's recipes. This Upper West Side location, their second after Hamilton Heights, took over a space Malaysia Grill had held for about twenty years. A mole negro with confit duck leg and a bone marrow birria with braised beef anchor the kitchen, and weekend brunch centers on a masa pancake with seasonal fruit compote.
