 The trio of Zoë Cernut (from England), Robert MacDonald and chef Robert Phalen crafted this casual joint that offers a gentrifying neighborhood style and personality. South-of-the-border fare leads on the menu, with tacos taking a primary role. Ingredients, many locally sourced, are organic, free-range and hormone-free. Georgia's Riverview Farms pork belly graces an interpretation of the Mexican torta. Tongue, goat (when available) and chicken hearts may appear among the tacos, although more mainstream proteins do as well. Try the fish tacos, with the freshly fried swordfish lying atop a bed of chipotle aïoli---flavorful but not too hot with spice---and the cooling crunch of a non-mayonnaise dressed slaw on top. Wrap up with the churros with chocolate, in a portion that is plenty for two or even three. Tequila is the libation of choice, although there are some decent wines and an over-fruited sangría. We wish mightily for a good rosado, though. Every first Thursday, a tequila tasting with tapas is offered for $20 from 6 p.m.-9 p.m.
