Meet the other side of Jalisco. 🌾

From October 20–25, Jalisco Beyond Agave comes to our table on the Upper West Side: Pelacañas rum from Jalisco, pozole verde and rojo, the Caña Morada by Tito Pin-Pérez, and seasonal specials from our kitchen.

On Tuesday, October 20, 6:30–9 PM, spend the evening with Gaby Félix Baeza, co-founder of Pelacañas, and taste Solera Edition Zero, a limited release of just 912 bottles.

Our founder, Cristina Castañeda, and Mónica Baeza, the woman behind Pelacañas, were friends in Jalisco long before Covacha or Pelacañas existed. This week, that friendship comes to our table.

No tickets. À la carte. Just reserve a table.

Available all day through September 30, in limited quantities. Upper West Side.

On September 15, we’re celebrating El Grito with live mariachi by Mariachi Real De Mexico around 8:30 PM. We’ll be extending our hours that evening and serving dinner until 10 PM.

TOMORROW: CHILES EN NOGADA ARRIVE AT COVACHA, UPPER WEST SIDE NYC

The dish behind the cocktail arrives tomorrow.

On September 1, Tito Pin-Pérez poured his liquid interpretation of Chiles en Nogada at the bar. Starting tomorrow, the tradition it’s built on arrives from the kitchen.

A roasted poblano filled with hand-chopped beef skirt steak and pork butt, slow-cooked with apricot, apple, peach and golden raisins, finished with creamy walnut nogada, parsley and pomegranate — green, white and red, the colors of Mexican Independence. A vegetarian version, filled with cauliflower and finished the same way, is also on the table.

Served at room temperature, the way Puebla has always made it. Through September 30, in limited quantities.

On September 15, everything comes together for El Grito, with live mariachi around 8:30 PM.

Reserve through the link in bio.

Contains walnuts and dairy. The traditional version also contains beef and pork — ask our team about other allergies.

What people say

Covacha, located on Columbus Avenue in New York, is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking to experience the authentic flavors of western Mexico. This Michelin Guide and Bib Gourmand awarded restaurant offers a diverse menu that showcases the quality and diversity of Mexican cuisine in new and exciting ways.

Their Jitomates & Tomatoes dish is a summer gift that you don't want to miss. It's a festy Mexican delicacy made with kumato, roasted, and house-dehydrated tomatoes, with pasilla emulsion, orange supreme, fresh epazote, and chives. And if you're looking for something to enjoy during brunch, their Huevos Divorciados dish is one of our favorites.

Covacha also has an impressive wine selection that pairs perfectly with their true Mexican flavors. Their Ossum Epiphanea blend is simple yet full of layers and perfect for summer.

For lunch or dinner, we highly recommend trying their Flautas - rolled crispy tacos filled with cheesy mashed potatoes and spiced chorizo; fresh ginger-black bean salsa, crema, cotija cheese, fresh radish, and cilantro.

At Covacha, they are committed to showcasing the best of Mexican cuisine in new ways. So come by tonight or any day from Monday to Sunday (with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays) to experience the delicious flavors of Covacha for yourself!
