What to know about Guadalupe Inn:
1. There’s now a place called Guadalupe Inn.
2. It’s a Mexican food establishment with a bar specializing in liquors derived from the regal agave
plant.
3. It’s in Bushwick and opening tomorrow.
Okay, let’s get a little more detailed and less numbered…
That it’s tucked away amongst truck lots and mechanics’ garages belies its
beauty.
Brilliant floral walls; custom, expanding copper shades; undulating banquettes. It’s a scene, man.
You can go the taco route.
If you’re the lengua type: they’ve got that with pickled red onion and avocado puree. If you’re the
Mexican veal meatball type: a) cool, and b) that too is available, with egg, green rice and chipotle
salsa.
… Or the sharing route.
Have you ever been at a place where they shave your al pastor taco meat off the spit and thought, “I wish
I could just have that whole chunk of pork”? We have, too. And they make that an option here with the
Trompito al Pastor—pork, guajillo chili, grilled pineapple, onion, cilantro, key lime, chile de arbol and
tortillas. We’ve
got a photo of that and a large roast chicken this way.
Either way, you’re going the drinks route.
Like we said, expect tequila and mezcal and the like. Right now, this crisp fall week, we recommend the Fall
Fashioned—reposado tequila, applejack, spiced pear and aged bitters.
There’s a stage built for things that happen on stages.
Such as musical sound, burlesque, drag shows, etc.
The churros are—how do we say this?—almost sensual.Look.
