Josh DeChellis’ doomed temple to fried foods, BarFry, may
have gotten fried, but in its place comes all things braised, roasted and seared
thanks to this colorfully tiled Mexican spot helmed by former Fatty Crab chef
David Schuttenberg. “It’s food that I’m familiar with my whole life,” says the Arizona native, whose
wife and mother-in-law are both Mexican and whose menu felt like “the food I
was seeing at home.” That includes cemitas (traditional sandwiches like pollo
milanesa), red-chili beef rib (his homage to Fatty Crab’s famous short ribs)
and the restaurant’s namesake dish (slow-roasted goat with citrus-tequila
salsa). Schuttenberg even worked closely with his mother-in-law to develop the restaurant’s
homemade chorizo and green-chili sauce. Haute Mexican it ain’t, but “I felt
like there was a gap that needed to be bridged—a hole-in-the-wall-type of place
that you want to travel to and hang out at all night,” the chef says, referring
to a recent wave of upscale Mexican joints. “I just wanted to take this space
and turn it into the bridge of that gap.”
