Hola Ox and Angela
The owners of UNA Pizza + Wine bring a dose of the cosmopolitan cool of Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro to 17th Avenue Southwest in its new Latin American-inspired restaurant and bar, Ox & Angela.
Think leather tufted banquets, a collage of ornate mirrors and a menu that includes empanadas with braised ox-tail, chorizo with stewed peppers and pan-fried fava beans. Cocktails are sweet and spicy with concoctions including pineapple and passion fruit muddled with mint and rum then topped with sparkling wine and vodka martinis shaken with cucumber, ginger and chilies.
Happy hour just found some Latin soul. —Jaelyn Molyneux
