Welcome to La Lotería — a new take on authentic Mexican cuisine from Executive Chef/Owner Julieta Ballesteros (Crema, Los Feliz) and Managing Partner/Owner Jaime Herrera. The game La Lotería has been played throughout Mexico since Colonial times. Similar in concept to American Bingo, it is played using 54 widely varied characters and symbols of Mexican culture (like the skull, the moon, the mermaid & the rooster), and it inspires our ambiance, drinks, and menu. Not unlike the game, Mexican cuisine is unique, varied and steeped in tradition. With the cultural touchstone of La Lotería at its core, the restaurant will introduce to New York’s sophisticated palate an exciting and surprising mix of Mexican recipes, ranging from the deliciously elemental “street” taco, to the luscious lobster quesadilla. Come experience the spirit of La Lotería. Our specialty drinks and inspired cuisine await you in our inviting, newly designed West Village space.

    Fabulous, unusual food and probably the best Mexican I've eaten - and I've eaten a lot of Mexican food. Service was very good. The music was so monotonous that electric beat music which offers no variety at all. It is annoying at 10 minutes - much less 90 minutes. But the food and the margaritas are soooo good!

    Food is decent, but not special enough to justify the prices ($18 for guacamole). The bill for 3 people was $262.00 (1 person wasn't drinking cocktails).

    I am allergic to spicy food but waiter was patient and went through the menu with me and even went to the kitchen to inquire. Enjoyed happy hour house margaritas since a Monday. The ceviche was a little spicy which I was warned about but it was absolutely delicious and ate some chips in between bites. The shredded pork tacos, plantains and churros were very good.

    The fish tacos were really good! The grilled cheese with nachos (and guacamole on the side) was also a highlight.

    Very lively bar area. Nice enclosed outdoor seating with heat lamps. The food was good, but definitely not a good value. We loved the duck flautitas ! They were delicious, but $19 for 2 spring roll size pieces was crazy!
