Chef Julian Medina has done it again! The visionary behind Toloache and Yerba Buena, via SushiSamba and Pompano restaurants pedigree, opens an eatery full of El Barrio flavor. Don’t be fooled by La Chula’s walk- up counter style. The food at this playful Mexican outpost is serious. Creative menu items like Queso Fondido tacos (melted cheese and Spanish sausage) pair well with margarita or cold Pacifico beer. Open late for those hopping around East Harlem after a hard cocktail crawl.
