Its not just our space that we see as art, it’s our food and drinks as well. Helmed by Executive Chef, Alex Espinal, we bring you Contemporary Puerto Rican cuisine centered around our locally sourced, bayahonda mesquite fired, American Grill Works grill that is always fresh, very often wholly local, and all at once creative, humble and unique.  Our dinner menu typically features 4 to 5 main courses and a special or 2 depending on what goodness the local fisherman, farmers, urban foragers, and our staff bring through the doors on a particular day. Food and Family. That is what dining at El Blok is all about.  

Our cocktail game is also serious business. Ingenuity reigns as classic cocktails that get a breath of new life with fresh local ingredients and Caribbean inspired touches.

Price range: 15-75
