Steak and shake

Cuerno (Rockefeller Center)

RESTAURANTS • First Word

The Skinny: An upscale steakhouse rooted in northern Mexico’s tradition of live-fire grilling, Cuerno opened last summer inside a large, airy, theatrical dining room on the northern edge of Rockefeller Center. The menu centers on preparations of USDA prime carne asada, but it’s also varied enough to create a mix-and-match feast of sumptuous tacos, fresh crudos, silky guacamole, and other Mexican staples.
