Many people assume the best Mexican
restaurants lay on the West Coast. But this is
only a myth. New York has just as good, if not
even better Mexican restaurants to offer. Sit-
down restaurants varying from fancy and
upscale to some costing less than $2 (taco
joins not included). Below is a list of the top
Mexican restaurants in New York City.

The food at Casa Enrique is simple and traditional, the best Mexican of
its kind. The chile relleno is a must order, packed with Oaxacan cheese
and served over a tomato sauce that is to die for. Another must order, if
they’re available, an order of the steak tacos for the table. The
guacamole is a must, and every meal here needs to end with the tres
leches. On most nights, you can walk in and get a table. Head on over
there now!

This place has a $90 plate of duck
carnitas that you will not regret
spending $90 on, and that’s saying
something. Cosme also makes a uni
tostada with bone marrow, and this
too needs to be on your table. This is,
however, a fairly upscale option and
you will need to spend a bit of money
here, so stop by for a worthy
celebration.]

Great Mexican food does not need to only be reserved for
lunch. Here at Atla, you can get a great pambazo (chorizo)
sandwich or a plate of chilaquiles. The people behind
Cosme brings you Atla, an all-day Mexican spot with bright
space and light food! Also, you can order almost anything on
the evening menu during the day! Alta serves the best
avocado toast in the city, and the fish Milanese should
definitely be on your table if you’re looking for something a
bit more substantial.

La Contenta should be your go-to spot for a
night out with a friend. They’re a tiny little spot
located on the Lower East Side and they make
great fish tacos and guacamole. They also offer a
not-quite-traditional yet delicious queso with
goat cheese and hanger steak with a twice-
baked potato. So, if you want to go out on the
LES, eat here first. It is casual enough so you can
wear whatever, the cocktails are great, and you
don’t really need to spend a fortune.

If you like baseball and Mexican food, you should head on
over to Sunset Park. Here is where you’ll find a heavy
concentration of Mexican joints. One to definitely check
out is Tacos El Bronco for their very good Mexican food.
Stop in and get a plate of grilled meat with rice and
beans. You’ll want to start off with a spread of small tacos
($1.50 each)! Also, you can never go wrong with the salty
beef.
