About Mexicue
Mexicue: A Fusion of Mexican and Southern Flavors
Mexicue is a restaurant chain that started as a food truck in 2010, serving Mexican BBQ dishes with a twist of the American South. Today, Mexicue has expanded to three locations in New York City, one in Washington D.C., and one in Stamford, Connecticut. The restaurant's menu features tacos, burritos, bowls, salads, and sides that are made from scratch using fresh ingredients.
The concept behind Mexicue is to combine the bold flavors of Mexican cuisine with the slow-cooked meats and smoky flavors of Southern BBQ. The result is a unique fusion that appeals to both traditionalists and adventurous eaters alike. Mexicue's chefs use traditional cooking techniques such as smoking, braising, charring, pickling, juicing, mashing and grinding to create dishes that are full of flavor.
One of the signature dishes at Mexicue is their smoked brisket taco. The brisket is slow-cooked for hours until it becomes tender and juicy before being topped with pickled red onions and cilantro crema. Another popular dish is their pulled pork burrito which features slow-roasted pork shoulder mixed with black beans rice cheese guacamole salsa fresca sour cream lettuce cilantro lime vinaigrette wrapped up in a flour tortilla.
In addition to their savory offerings like tacos & burritos they also have an extensive tequila list featuring over 50 different types from all over Mexico including some rare finds you won't find anywhere else! They also offer margaritas made from fresh-squeezed lime juice or other seasonal fruits like watermelon or blood orange.
Mexicue prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. They work closely with farmers who grow produce specifically for them so they can ensure freshness & quality every time you visit! They also partner with local breweries & distilleries to bring you unique craft beers & spirits that pair perfectly with their food.
