Love Tortilla Flats, and the Ernest Borgnine connection. Y’know, EH calls in every year on his birthday. I used to go there all the time when I lived on West 12th & Hudson in the 80s-90s, when, yes, ditto, there were many types of meat in the Meatpacking District! Hard to believe Tortilla Flats has survived all these years. (I noticed recently that the building on 12th & the West Side Highway that used to house Gulf Coast and other restaurants was torn down.)
Most definitely NOT dressy, dh. They have red & white plastic checkered tablecloths on the tables so it has the feel of hanging out in someone’s backyard and getting drunk. When it starts to get crowded, and the sun starts to go down, grab your margaritas and head for the very back of the restaurant – there’s a path out back, along the river, and they have those white metal mesh stacking garden chairs, which they let you take a ways down the path along the river, and you can sit and watch a beautiful sunset over the river while getting drunk on their rather strong drinks.
