Alma
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Columbia Street Waterfront District

187 Columbia Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201

Gourmet G. writes: Despite its remote Red Hook location, Alma is worth the trek from wherever you are for two reasons - the outstanding Mexican cuisine and the stunning view of lower Manhattan from the roof deck when weather permits alfresco dining. Most of the dishes…

New York, NY 10031

Suenos

311 West 17th Street
New York, NY 10079

111 W 17th St
New York, NY 10011

Tulcingo del Valle Restaurant
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen

665 10th Avenue
New York, NY 10036

Rob K. writes: I was just cursing the world for how out of the way this place is. 665 10th Ave? Are we in the Hudson yet? But then it dawned on me that its location means I can walk into one of the city's best Mexican restaurants during peak hours and be at the…

De Mole

4502 48th Ave
Woodside, NY 11377

Javier M. writes: 4 or 5? reason or bias? Bias.

La Conquita
Neighborhood: Manhattan/SoHo

236 Lafayette St
New York, NY 10079

nyc c. writes: A definite hole-in-the-wall, with a great deal located in all place Soho, I have never seen a greater deal then La Conquita. For $7 the counter guys will pack a huge plate of food good for two, chock-full of rice, beans, stewed meat (beef, oxtail, or…

Chavella's
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Prospect Heights

732 Classon Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11238

Under the Volcano
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Murray Hill

12 E 36th St
New York, NY 10016

Evan K. writes: I went to Under the Volcano for a work gathering the other night and it was a wee bit too crowded for my taste. I think it's because it got the after work spillover from The Ginger Man. There was nary an ounce of space to squeeze through as I…

Zarela Restaurant
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Midtown East

953 2nd Ave
New York, NY 10022

Josie M. writes: This is not a typical Mexican restaurant so if you're looking for Americanized dishes, Zarela isn't for you. On the other hand, as a vegetarian I didn't find this place authentic-in-a-scary way, if you know what I mean.

Our table got lots of…

Noche Mexicana
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Manhattan Valley

852 Amsterdam Ave
New York, NY 10025

Great Burrito
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper West Side

405 Amsterdam Ave
New York, NY 10024

Hyunmi K. writes: For some reason, I flip flop about this place. There is nothing wrong with it, in fact it is quite good (hence the 4 stars). But there is just something about it. The food is good but I think I mentally, unknowingly, do them injustice because the…

New York, NY 10019

Rachel's Taqueria
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Park Slope

408 5th Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11215

Ben S. writes: If you asked me 3 months ago I'd have given this place 4.5 stars.

I was really in love with the burritos here at first. Huge, cheap, delicious. But I've had too many marginal experiences with lukewarm meat or just plain not-that-tasty meals. Also,…

The Corner Deli
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Little Italy

106 Kenmare St
New York, NY 10011

One Black Mans POV.. .. writes: Appearance:
Don't let the little taco stand appearance fool you. Thats just the little walk up part. The REAL Corner is hidden and requires you to go through an "Employees Only" type door, then the kitchen, and then down a flight of stairs where the…

Neighborhood: Manhattan/Greenwich Village

40 W. 8th Street
New York, NY 10003

alexandra k. writes: Holy mother of god the chicken nachos.

I ordered delivery from here last night and I still feel full. Being from California, I'm a hard to please person when it comes to New York's bullshit version of Mexican food. This place gets pretty close to the…

Big Enchilada
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Greenwich Village

28 E 12th Street
New York, NY 10003

Jon W. writes: Totally worthwhile mexican, but the "big" burritos and enchiladas are a rip off -- barely appreciably larger than the normal ones. The comprehensive menu is appreciated though!

La Palapa

77 Saint Marks Pl
New York, NY 10003

Edward F. writes: Been here on numerous occasions over the past few years for brunch, dinner, birthday dinners --each visit the food was consistently good-- but this was my first CINCO DE MAYO and boy was it festive and almost out of control!

Luckily, the original…

Blue Moon
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Chelsea

150 8th Ave
New York, NY 10011

Brian S. writes: Many years ago I was a busboy at an El Torito. And I watched plenty of Ricardo Montalban on TV. So I know Mexican.

Blue Moon is our default setting for Mexican. It's always been delicious. Service has always been good. And there's always a great big…

Jose Tejas

700 US Hwy 1 N
Iselin, NJ 08830

Monica P. writes: This is definitely the place to go for some great southwestern food.

What I recommend:
1. Margaritas
2. Crawfish
3. Blackened Catfish
4. Fajitas (if you're not into fish)

I usually get a margarita or two before being seated at a table because the place is…

Dos Caminos

373 Park Ave S
New York, NY 10016

Lindsay K. writes: Wow, 33 reviews? I suppose this place has got some clout in the area.

I took a pretty important editor out to a business lunch this afternoon, and he suggested Dos Caminos. True be told, I hadn't heard of it, but his enthusiasm was infectious.

The…

Dear Mr. Kinda Cute Blond Architect that just moved to NYC a few months ago,

Don Pedro
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper East Side

1865 2nd Ave
New York, NY 10029

Adam H. writes: Here's the trick to this place: the food takes forever to come to your table, so don't come starving or in a hurry. With that out of the way, please enjoy my review.

I envision the kitchen at Don Pedro's to be a really relaxed place where the cooks…
