Quique Crudo

Casa Enrique isn’t the flashiest Mexican restaurant in the city, but it has consistently been one of the best. Now, the folks behind that LIC spot have the seafood-focused Quique Crudo in the West Village. The walk-in-only space seats about 20, on tall swiveling stools, half of which face an open kitchen with a tidy display of shellfish over ice. Aside from some enchiladas similar to what you’ll find at Casa Enrique, most dishes are snack-sized, with standouts like a meaty fluke ceviche and an exceedingly crunchy crab tostada. A full dinner can easily add up to around $100 per person, but that’s not how you should go about things. Come for a drink and a few small bites. The cocktail list has around 40 options, and we have yet to find a dud.
