Bar Tulix – the new coastal Mexican restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Justin Bazdarich (Oxomoco and Speedy Romeo) and restaurateur John McDonald of Mercer Street Hospitality (Lure Fishbar, Bowery Meat Company, Hancock St. and others) – opens its doors March 4th in SoHo. Influenced by his years of traveling throughout Mexico, Bazdarich is offering a seafood-forward menu highlighting dishes from the coasts of Mexico up through California, ranging from crudos to tostadas, and more.
