Pastrami Tacos Meet Mexican Jewish Cooking in Manhattan
Eat at Polanco Social on the Upper West Side, where Machaca taquitos share the menu with burgers and pollo asado.
🌮 A Mexican Jewish Mashup
Polanco Social gives the Upper West Side a kosher Mexican menu with a deli crossover, pastrami tacos. At 476 Columbus Ave, Mexican cooking meets Jewish culinary traditions, taking its inspiration from the Polanco district of Mexico City. There is room to steer a meal in a few directions here, from those tacos to Machaca taquitos and pollo asado.
Burgers are part of the lineup too. For anyone juggling dietary requirements, the kitchen accommodates gluten free and dairy free kosher diets. Ask about preparations when ordering and keep those needs at the center of the conversation, rather than treating them as an afterthought. The fusion runs through the menu, with Mexican and Jewish influences sharing the same table.
The bar adds another reason to settle into a meal. Cocktails use house infused spirits, homemade juices, and real fruit purees. Start with the food that catches your attention, then let the drinks bring their own mix of ingredients to the meal.
