Panzón

Inspired by Mexico City, Panzón is a little spot on the far western edge of Greenpoint serving small plates, interesting cocktails, and a lot of mezcal. The dining room has concrete floors, some homey decor, and a sound system that looks like it belongs in a Bushwick nightclub, and there are only around 10 items on the menu. They include a pair of chorizo gorditas and a simple mushroom quesadilla with a blistered tortilla, as well as a few snacks like "corn ribs" and guacamole. You can book a table in the back of the narrow space, but we suggest you grab a seat at the bar, drink a margarita, and have some small bites while you listen to funk, cumbia, house music, and more.
