| | | | | | Tom Tom and I stopped into Macondo the other evening for a drink or three. Though it would be cruel to subject a place to an official review just a couple of days after it opened, Macondo is already showing some winning traits. The decor verges on the kitschy, with rope baskets slung above the bar ... Read More | | | | | | Macondo, the new Latin American "upscale street food" restaurant from the owners of Rayuela, opened just two weeks ago on the LES, and already there are user reviews, planted shills, and write ups about everything from the cocktail list to the stools on various food sites. It sounds like t... Read More | | | | | | Macondo is a spot in the lower-east side that I would describe as island-hip.

Obviously, there's no comparison, and I'll always prefer the curbside taco trucks to a slick ... Read More | | | | | | Had a very tasty brunch here. The huevos rancheros were not only very good but the presentation was totally unique. Service was great as well. Read More | | | | | | Macondo: Named after the fictional Colombian village in Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, this new Lower East Side restaurant gives Latin street food a gourmet twist.
