"For homesick Angelinos and San Franciscans, New York boasts a couple of Cal-Mex spots, foremost of which is Lupe’s East L.A. Kitchen, where you can get cheese enchiladas in chile Colorado, rolled potato taquitos, chile verde, and a full range of bulbous Mission burritos, an invention of San Francisco. This restaurant with a trippy diner setting and views of Sixth Avenue is operated by David Seixas." - Robert Sietsema
