Titán is a relatively new Northern Mexican restaurant coming from Chef Alan Delgado and beverage director Ivy Mix right under the Brooklyn Bridge. Chef Delgado previously was the chef at Oxomoco which has a Michelin Star. I stumbled into this because this has been slowly climbing on hype on my radar, and we just happened to be in the area. We ended up meeting a friend at around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening, and we were seated in the back outdoor patio.

Ambiance & Service

The front of the room resembled a cantina like structure and atmosphere. There were separate spaces for a variety of indoor dining tables, but we were led to the back of the house. There was a door with glass that we had to open to walk down into the back patio. The patio was divided into two sections: one where the left had space heaters above the tables, and another where there were floor space heaters. The night was fairly cold, between 40-50F, and the floor space heater barely did their job. What was also interesting was the backside had a bathroom and an outdoor sink.

The service was fairly quick once we ordered, and it was easy to get ahold of service if needed.

Food

The Elefante ($14) came with lime, pineapple, ginger, and soda. This non-alcoholic drink was heavy on the ginger, so if you dislike ginger flavors, you should probably avoid this drink.

The Guacamole & Salsa ($18) came with guacamole, salsa roja, and tostadas. A set of 4 tostadas costed an extra $6. I was disappointed by not only how expensive this was but also how little there was. The tostadas were barely enough to even make a dent on the salsa and guacamole, and what irked me even more was the charge to refresh the tostadas. The guacamole itself tasted OK, but it was under seasoned. The salsa had that smokey, mild peppery taste. I’d skip this if you can.

The Oysters ($28) came with bone marrow butter, morita, and confit garlic. The best part of our light meal tonight was the oysters. The bone marrow was truly delectable along with the garlicky flavors. The fat on top of the oysters was an interesting and enjoyable combination. You not only get some of that cucumber-fresh oyster flavors, but you get some of the fat, garlic, and pepper flavors too. Price wise, it’s expensive for 6 oysters (nearly $4.75 per oyster), but if you’re splurging, it at least tastes good.

Overall Impression

We stopped here for a brief meal, and I am glad we didn’t make it to a fuller meal. The food tasted decent, the portions are small, and the price is definitely high. For the area, I’m sure it’s a welcome addition for an upper-scale Mexican styled restaurant, but it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way for.

Yelp & Google Jabs

Unfortunately they cut almost all the vegetarian dishes a few days before I went, so my choices were quite limited.

This Elitist rated the restaurant due to a limited vegetarian offering. It goes to show that the ratings are a collection of a variety of different constraints, so it’s difficult to really understand what it means. There should be a way to filter these out from Yelp if you don’t truly care about vegetarian options.

Grew up on the West Coast so I’m picky about Mexican food. Titan is the first place in NYC that got it right.

Just because someone grew up there doesn’t mean they have a good palette for it. There are several variant locations that offer decent upscale Mexican food in NYC, and no, this isn’t the first place that got it right. If anything, they baited people to come due to its touristy location and their chef reputation.
