Northern Mexican steakhouse grilling prime cuts and regional specialties over a live charcoal fire. The sprawling, hacienda-style room is built for celebrations – expect a Tomahawk steak carved tableside.
Lower East Side burrito shop serving the Sonoran style: chewy flour tortillas filled with grilled meats and beans, but never rice. This is a tiny, takeout-focused spot where the smell of carne asada fills the street.
Neighborhood bodega and family-run Mexican deli with shelves of imported snacks and dried chiles. Homestyle Poblano fillings rotate daily – the massive, from-scratch burritos are a constant.
Mexican brasserie tucked beneath a corner taqueria, accessed through a discreet door and the kitchen. The low-lit, cavernous dining room is loud and energetic, fueled by strong margaritas and shared plates of grilled corn and tacos.
Lively Ridgewood corner spot with sage green walls and a prominent taxidermy jaguar. The kitchen turns out creative Mexican-American plates for sharing – think fried Oaxacan cheese and dry-spice pork ribs al pastor.
