El Presidente

The Union Market Mexican room from the Le Diplomate group runs all three Restaurant Week meals. Dinner at $55 is chicken or portabello tacos al carbon, a grilled branzino, or a Peking-style duck confit that arrives with tortillas so you build the tacos yourself, and the fried snapper costs $15 more. Lunch and brunch are both $35, and $30 adds a cocktail pairing of a mezcal spritz, a margarita and a carajillo.

About El Presidente

A robust and creative menu highlights heirloom ingredients with a modern twist – a raw bar, guacamole with king crab, a la carte tacos and shareable plates like Tomahawk Ribeye and Whole Striped Sea Bass. Bright agave-forward tequila and mezcal cocktails dovetail with interconnected dining rooms, eclectic interiors and legendary south-of-the-border hospitality. Because at its heart, El Presidente is about the theater of going out.
