Help us make it rightLocated in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, La Cenita features a Mexican-inspired menu of shareable, small plates by Executive Chef Akhtar Nawab, formerly of La Esquina. Stepping outside the lines of traditional Mexican fare, La Cenita’s updated takes on popular Mexican dishes and unique renditions of lesser known flavors play well with the restaurant’s modern Mexican aesthetic.

The rub with many a hangar-like Meatpacking District restaurant is that the food doesn't have to be that good. Indeed, most people come for the scene or the people-watching. But here, the food is a pleasant surprise. This tri-level spot,… Read More
Some very surprising news, as the EMM Group has pulled the plug on La Cenita Steak, a little less than two months after they revamped La Cenita, their Mexican restaurant with Akhtar Nawab. EMM partner Eugene Remm tells Eater:
After a lot of thought we have decided to close La Cenita Steak and convert the space to an events and catering facility. Mark [Birnbaum] and I continuously work to...
There are changes afoot in the EMM Group's Meatpacking District empire. After a four-year run, owners Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum have closed SL, their basement club in the former Lotus space, as of New Year's Eve. This shutter follows the re-vamping of the old Abe and Arthur's above SL into the oh so hot Mexican restaurant La Cenita, and according to Remm, the company is just starting to...
The former Abe & Arthur’s digs in the Meatpacking have been transformed into this new Mexican small-plate specialist from the EMM group (Catch, The General), a sprawling duplex decorated with lots of exposed brick and faux Aztec hieroglyphics; it’s probably more about scene than cuisine, but its trendy following doesn't seem to care.

The new Latin restaurant that the EMM Group is planning for the space currently occupied by Abe & Arthur's now has a name. It will be called La Cenita (that's "little dinner" in Spanish), and will serve a menu overseen by Akhtar Nawab that incorporates "flavors from well-known and much loved Mexican dishes" with "modern, local and cross cultural influences. " La Cenita plans to open...
Food was barely mediocre, service left much to be desired, prices are obnoxious.
We went to La Cenita with friends we had visiting! Everything from the service, to the drinks to the food was absolutely great! The bar scene was buzzing and seemed like the place to be on a Saturday night!
The food was incredible, everything we ordered was amazing, no one left disappointed.
This place was really good. The inside is very nice. Nice for either a date or crowd of friends. The guacamole was our starter. Definitely recommended. Then we moved on to small plates with the langosta tacos being the highlight. For entree the duck chimichanga was delicious. It was a nice variation on a Mexican Classic. Desert was also good with the hazelnut flan. Cocktails were also...
We were looking forward to dining back at this restaurant. Boy were we disappointed! They shortened the menu, the food was bland, the portions were small, the service was poor and the kitchen was slow ( even though the restaurant was half full).The waiter put the menu in front of my husband ahead of me, forgot to order one of our dishes and was rarely around. She did apologize profusely for...
The lobster tacos and branzino were really delicious! Such a fun, lively place...Service was spot on!
Since 2009, Abe & Arthurs has been providing Retail - Steak Restaurant from New York.

"Atmo is key" at this "total Meatpacking scene" where the "solid" American surf 'n' turf takes a backseat to the "insanely loud", "Vegas"-like goings-on; the staff is "gorgeous", the prices as "beefy" as the steaks and the crowd's a mix of "Bravo Housewives", "Jersey Shore cast members" and "B&T wannabes."

A place equally suited for after-work drinks or destination cocktails. Classic New York meets contemporary, casual, New York chic.
Located in the space formerly occupied by Lotus, Abe & Arthur's still has the nightclub vibe, but it’s a very different sort of restaurant. Chef Franklin Becker (Brasserie, Sheridan Square) has been chomping at the bit for a chance to establish himself as one of the city's top chefs, and Abe & Arthur's gives him a major platform for high-end versions of American classics including fish tacos, steak, crab cakes and the like. These are all much better than they need to be to satisfy the clubgoers, who are likely just killing time before heading downstairs to the swank SL lounge (with which...
A big, boistrous, celebrity-filled adjunct to a popular nightclub, Abe & Arthur's shouldn't be good, but it is -- they serve some of the best beef in town, better in fact than some big-name steakhouses.
Know Before You Go: Abe & Arthur's is an especially meat-centric restaurant specializing in steaks and chops; don't go if you only plan to nibble or graze.
Where to Sit: In warmer months, opt for sidewalk seating--it's great for Meatpacking District people-watching.
The Extras: Look out for the restaurant's "carnivale" dessert--fried doughnuts served on a Ferris wheel showpiece.
