“Crema” is an off-beat Mexican with a spicy twist
Crema, a cool, avante-garde Mexican in the flatiron district (on 17th street, just off 6th avenue) has been one of my favourite restaurants since it opened a couple of years ago. The chef manages to continuously surprised the palate with innovative variations on classic Mexican dishes.
I went there recently again and found that the quality of the food is as good as ever. I had the pork chop with pineapples and a chorizo tamale which was exceptional. The tamale was spicy and the contrast with the sweet, juicy pineapple made for a surreal pork experiences (Picture 1). P. had the spicy fish empanadas (Picture 2) which were also very good.
Highly recommended!
