Hecho En DUMBO. Traditional Mexican Cuisine.




PHOTOFOOD visited this new trendy restaurant located in the East Village.
I had so much food (with my eyes) that I'm ready for a diet!

The Hecho En Dumbo's sign painted on an old Hershey's ice cream sign?
This is because Hecho is located in a landmarked building and in order to keep this original sign, they had to paint it while hanging up there.


Beautiful wooden walls wraps the entire bar and dinning room.

Elegant kitchen bar to accomodate eight (8) guests.


 For now we will skip the front bar area and go straight to where the heart of the restaurant is, the kitchen...



This was a colorful working station full of fresh ingredients for some of the delicious dishes.

The salsas makes the food runner station a carnival.
Look at those colors!!!

SOUTHERN COMFORT cuisine in N.Y.C.




South Houston
331 West Broadway, New York, NY 10013(212) 431-0131


I just visited SOUTH HOUSTON restaurant and bar today to start with the project.
I started in the "hydratation area".


South Houston's general manager Walter Roeder kindly offered the space to shoot food "in motion", while being made in the kitchen. Isn't it a great start?




If you ask me what's my most recommended dish, for sure I'd get in trouble because everything looks and smell delicious, but you be the judge.
