Cartel is relatively new to crescent, but it is different from most of the other offerings. The bartenders are friendly and will talk with you when you sit at the bar. They also have tons of different liquors to choose from.\n\nThe food is a tapas style, but focus on Asian (satays), Mexican (tacos), and American (pulled pork, etc) street foods.  They use organic and fresh ingredients. The tacos are really good, but you need to order a lot of them to be full. I would recommend the duck tacos. Prices are reasonable.\n\nI have been a few times, but I never have seen the place very busy.
