BYO tequila no more...

Openings: Lolita

Remember back in March when we told you about the grand re-opening of Lolita (106 S. 13th St.), the 13th Street BYO tequila spot that kicked off Marcie Turney's and Val Safran's Midtown Village empire? Well, looks like the renovations are complete and Lolita is reopening (with a full bar and killer cocktails) on Friday. Of course the space isn't the only thing that got revamped at Lolita, Turney overhauled the menu as well, taking inspiration from an R&D trip to Mexico and a shiny new tromp (vertical roasting spit).

The new menu includes standbys like guac and carnets tacos along with exciting new additions like blue corn gorditas with squash blossoms, tacos with octopus and broke belly and charred shishito guacamole. Oh and that Beetarita with tequila, ginger and green apple is a can't miss.
