(This venue is closed.) You might just be able to make out the flecks of red pepper.
That unusual touch on sour, coarsely shredded collard greens (easier to see if you click on the photo) might tell you that the kitchen's heart is in border country, even if you didn't note the nachos on the menu. The Mexican chef, who hails from down the coast, in Veracruz, smokes his ribs and meats over chunks of apple and hickory wood; his Texas-style BBQ beef ribs (with one side; $9 lunch special), slathered with a sweet peppery sauce, pull free from the bone with only gentle resistance.

A little too much sauce on the meat for my taste but overall, very very good. Ribs a nice balance of smoke and spice. Greens as advertised above. Great to have this so close to the Upper East Side.
