UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — A new Mexican restaurant inspired by street food and art is opening Monday on the Upper West Side.

Street Taco will welcome customers for the first time at 4 p.m. at 2672 Broadway (corner of West 102nd Street).

"Hola, Upper West Side! We are thrilled to announce that our new location is ready to rock," Street Taco wrote in a recent Instagram post.

The UWS location follows the success of the original outpost in Gramercy, led by executive chef Jonathan Ruiz.

The menu features 15 types of tacos as well as small plates such as nachos, street corn pops, and Yuca fries.

The restaurant takes inspiration from the art culture in Mexico and is focused on creating a "stylish and entertaining dining & bar space," according to a press release.

"Our menu fuses Mexican culinary traditions with contemporary fare, paired with an expansive collection of classic and modern cocktails crafted from house-made ingredients," reads an "About" section on the restaurant's website. "Curated street art animates the room, bringing a seductive and edgy ambiance - a design truly for the people."

A major part of the new restaurant will be its cocktail offerings.

Street Taco has an extensive drinks menu that includes the following:

• Poco Loco with Ghost Pepper Infused Tequila, Pineapple, Lime and Red Bird Chili Pepper
• Elote Old Fashioned with El Tesoro Single Barrel Reposado, Nixta Corn Liqueur and Bourbon Bitters
