Mezcal Cocktails and Tacos on a Tulum-Style Williamsburg Patio

TABÚ turns a Williamsburg corner into a Tulum daydream, with palm shadows, candlelight, and a patio that fills up for slow, late dinners. The kitchen leans Mexican and Latin American, and the octopus tacos are the order people photograph before the plate reaches the middle of the table. Save room for the flan, which regulars single out by name. The bar is where the night finds its rhythm, servers will read your mood and steer you toward a specific tequila or mezcal instead of handing over a list. Portions run on the smaller side, a hint that this is a grazing-and-drinking evening more than a heavy meal. Doors open at 4:00 PM Wednesday through Sunday, and Friday and Saturday stretch to 12:00 AM, the patio's longest nights. The room is styled for photos, with a scenic backdrop waiting between courses. Monday and Tuesday are dark.
