345 Cantina

Tucked into the East Village, this casual neighborhood spot balances a lively energy with a menu of comforting, homemade-style classics. Sidewalk tables offer a prime spot for people-watching, while the music-filled indoor space keeps things cool and relaxed. The food focuses on well-executed Mexican favorites, featuring fresh guacamole, elote esquite, flavorful pollo asado and fish tacos, and nachos layered to ensure no dry chips are left at the bottom. It is a local go-to for Taco Tuesdays and happy hour, drawing crowds with friendly service, cold draft Modelos, and strong frozen margaritas.
