Petite Taqueria is a modern Mexican restaurant with Japanese influence, as taqueria-style dishes are prepared and presented at a traditional "Omakase" bar. Light reflects between a grid of deep green walls and ceilings, through to the shelves of the back bar, connecting the energy of the two spaces. The walls are sheathed in closely framed vintage art that has been collected over a lifetime of travel. Matte-black sconces on the tiled columns allow a warm glow to reflect, giving the room an NYC vibe.
