Just over a month after opening, midtown restaurant Tito & Pep has expanded beyond their dinner-only hours to offer lunch.
Based on how they’ve already proven their dinner service as exceptional, we’re excited to see this roll out.
While a handful of dinner menu items are also on the lunch menu, some of the stand-out components make an appearance in the new lunch items.
If you enjoyed the dinner menu’s Grilled Shrimp with masa dumplings, order the Southwest-meets-Northeast Masa Battered Shrimp with fries, charred jalapeño tartar, and slaw.
If you loved the salsa macha and avocado on the Grilled Octopus appetizer, try them on the T&P Burger, which also includes roasted garlic aioli.
If you want to try the Queso Fundido in a meal form, try the Crunchy Señorita with queso menonita, chorizo, mushrooms, and fried egg.
