🌮 Meet the wizard behind the magic at Craft Taqueria!

Chef and owner Jeff Kreisel and his team are serving up seriously delicious Mexican food in New City, but Jeff’s talents go way beyond the kitchen.

The recently expanded space now features a gorgeous full bar and dining area, and here’s the really cool part: Jeff crafted the tables and bar top himself from a massive fallen tree. 🌳

And he doesn’t stop there. He grows his own microgreens right in the restaurant’s basement, ages meats showcased at the front of the restaurant, and sources top-notch ingredients to create food that’s as thoughtful as it is delicious.

Then there’s dessert. 🍰 Homemade mini pies and a carrot cake that is, quite simply, out of this world.

Great food. Incredible craftsmanship. A seriously creative chef. And plenty of surprises along the way.

CRAFT TAQUERIA, @crafttaqueria
170 South Main Street, New City, NY

Craft Taqueria is definitely worth a visit. 🌮✨
